Home Again [Henrex, Shuten]

He chuckled as she contemplated the color she would want for a haori. He'd certainly have to contact Hiroe, let her know that Shuten was requesting something. He knew that she would probably be thrilled.

"I'll let her know. I'm sure she'll be more than happy to take that request on."

A more melancholic look briefly passed over his face as she continued. He wasn't trying to slight her, or anyone by accepting a return to Captaincy. While he didn't know much of who all had come and gone from the division since his departure, he knew at least having a familiar face like Shuten around was more than welcome.

As she retrieved the haori from the desk, Henrex smiled warmly as he stood up and held his arms out to his sides. Given the duties of the Covert Ops division, it wasn't surprising that she was careful and dexterous about getting him in the garb. He winced as she flicked his nose, a look of annoyance coming to his face, before he just sighed, laughing softly.

"I think I've long since aged beyond the point of growing anymore. But, it feels good to be back, Shuten."

Only a partial lie. He still had his reservations about the situation, but, for now, if Murasaki trusted him...he would trust her, and hopefully live up to the faith that she put in him.
