Eye Spy [Urahara, Kanae]

Kisuke had not expected her to leap at such a nefarious suggestion, it would have been quite painfully clear the intention if she had and most certainly not befitting her station, but his efforts had been rewarded with a little more data. More information that she might not have offered so willingly if he had not come on so strongly. His senses were keen, enough to pick out the change in inflexion that Kanae made on certain syllables as she spoke and the clear manner in which she wanted those words to be interpreted. What a dangerous woman she was, but fortunately he had all too much experience dealing with those.

"Quite so. I have personally seen to the heightening of security around my own division and its personnel. If you would like, I can install similar facilities for the Death Division. I would think it would be quite irritating for them to meet that which you wish for them in such an unsightly way."

Unlike Kanae, he did not think nor need to make the implication clear. If another bomb were to now be sent to the Third Division then it would find substantially less success than the first. He was generous enough to offer such to all the other divisions too, but the Captains were a fickle bunch and some were no doubt cautious of his meddling. Still, it did not stop him from offering.

"Ah, I suppose our Vizard colleagues must have been quite a shock to you after your release. An age spent hunting them down and now they live amongst us, what an interesting time we live in. But I am glad you are familiar with a little of my work, Captain Kanae. I would be honoured if you would one day return the favour."

It would have been quite foolish of Kanae to accept, after all, but at least she gave him more than just a blank rebuttal. That confidence would certainly see her far when it came to earning the respect of some of her peers here, but it was rather blasé of her. She was not omnipresent, after all, and the members of her division could not always hide behind that shadow she was trying to cast. She was a woman who placed little value in her juniors though, so if she could protect herself then clearly little else mattered.

“Of course. As long as we have our brave Captains then the Gotei will not be brought low.”

Her views on the Vizards were expected, but also quite vitriolic. All she could see was the beast in side of them, and Kisuke had to stifle a laugh at the irony of that situation. If they were dangerous in her eyes then how did she expect them to view her?

“Quite a negative view you have of our colleagues, I must say. They fight to protect soul society even after all they have endured just to survive. I did wander if you would find camaraderie in that given your own situation. This is bigger than our own personal demons, after all.” A lopsided smile returned to his face as she addressed her achievements though, or perhaps that she dismissed his own. “There are always lessons to be learned from our elders. I am simply a curious student at heart.”

"It is rather dangerous to see everything only as black or white. We have discovered plenty of shades of grey in these past thousand years, the Vizards are but one of many that have surfaced. But I am sure that you have a lot still to familiarise yourself with and there has been little time yet in which to do it. Perhaps acceptance will come in time."

Kisuke knew that poking this bear would only earn him more displeasure from Kanae, but he did want to at least appear somewhat interested in making sure that she settled into her role as a Captain again. Pointing out that a rogue Gotei Captain would pose far more threat to Soul Society than most of the Vizards ever could be was perhaps a little too on the nose, even for him, but it seemed that she had also chosen to ignore his comment on them both once being criminals in favour of focusing on the insult.

"My my, though, what a generous offer. I suppose I would start by inquiring about your own academic achievements, what you feel like you best accomplished before your incarceration."
