UNOHANA RETSU | BLOODLETTER

"Resting is my recommendation instead of training." Retsu corrected. She doubted her recommendation would be followed, but it would be in the notations. That way if she complained, Retsu could just point to the fact she was warned. There was no satisfaction in an "I told you so," but it prevented further arguments. "There will always be injured." Another correction. This time, it led to her own point of this conversation.

"I plan on assisting Byakuya Kuchiki in keeping the balance in the Gotei's absence. He is someone I can trust to fulfill the duties required without hesitation. Whatever form his faction takes, they will need someone skilled in the arts of combat and medicine. And from the rumors I have heard, I highly doubt his younger sister would accept such an offer. Thus, it lies to me." Retsu turned fully; her braided hair fully visible now.

"Let me be frank with you, Noharu Asahina. The sparse allies we have collected so far are not as... rambunctious as yourself, but they are not the most bespoke. I would like to offer you a position under me. The exact details are being worked out, so I do not have what such a title would be, but I can assure you that it would be under my command. I do not think that Byakuya Kuchiki nor Yuuto Hisakawa would mesh well with your personality. I do not wish to muzzle that foul mouth of yours. No, I would rely upon it. There are times where even I can be a bit too soft-spoken." The next part took a moment to prepare herself for. Even before, she was not crass. "I need someone to say 'You are being a god-damned idiot' or worse, because that is all some people will listen to."

This Might Be Lupus [Unohana/Noharu] - Page 2 Wye3cbmprk4

She couldn't help but smirk just a little at that. "Heheheheheh. Ah but my lovely Doctor. Rest and Training are not mutually exclusive. I was an instructor in the Academy aint ya know?" She smiled and closed her eyes, holding her hand up, gently squinting up as she eyed the way the overhead lighting silhouetted her hand. "Pleeenty of my students thought the only way they could improve was swinging at a dummy until their arms got stronger. My body needs rest. But my soul and my mind are ripe for the honing." She cackled to herself, an odd mix of wisdom and punkish mischief.

A brow raised slightly as she looked over at the woman. Hm, not the timing she expected for an offer like this.

Heh, under her. She chuckled softly to herself.

"Uhuh. That's certainly an interesting offer. Though I understand ya don't expect an answer outta me right now. It's certainly one I'll... consider. Like you said, there's a lot of details yet to be ironed out. I'm sure I'll have a proper answer once I actually know what I'd be getting into. Not to mention... yaknow. we'll have to see how uncrippled I can manage to get me" She took a moment to consider.

She had a pretty good idea what was going to happen. Knowing the people that were in the gotei. Not just the old timers. But knowing the impressionable students. Having seen so many of them grow and shift. Turning from innocent little dumbasses into ... well just about every type of person you could expect. She'd certainly noticed that especially Ranma and the others former members of Eigth would probably fall a certain way. She wasn't sure how that would mesh with.. this little group. But frankly, she didn't even know how all this would tune out. As many ideas as she had, she wouldn't know for sure.

"I got some questions. But theyre probably best left till I can retain information." She offered with a lopsided grin.

UNOHANA RETSU | BLOODLETTER

Yet another good answer, somewhat. Noharu definitely needed rest, but she seemed to at least understand that the body wasn't the only thing that mattered. Retsu did not expect an immediate agreement. There was too much in the air, and she was realizing this. She'd have to clear up some matters with Byakuya soon. Oh, and Yuuto she supposed. He was part of the big kids' table now, wasn't he?

"Barring any unforeseen complications, tomorrow is the earliest you could be discharged. I would like to ensure that your lung will still function without issues while you are asleep. As for the arm... There have been many one-armed Shinigami that served faithfully and without much issue. There is also the prosthesis route... But nonetheless, I do understand that the decision may take some time to make. I will leave the offer on the table for as long as you remain in Soul Society." It was a strong promise to make, but it was one she would keep. Noharu had something valuable, even if Retsu did not know her capabilities that well.

"If you wish to ask those questions now, I can have a nurse record the question. If not, I can provide you something to write them down yourself so you do not forget them."

Noharu snorted softly and flashed a smile at that, raising a brow slightly as she was a little...intrigued a bit at the woman's commentary. IN her current state, she did wonder how lucid she was. She FELT clear headed. Certainly compared to before. But she wasn't going to think too much about that. She was quiet for a few seconds before ...yea fuck it she'd ask at least the most pertinent question in her head.

"If you and Byakuya really cared about all this stuff. Why didn't you show up before? Not gonna knock whatever your reasoning is. Aint like I fully applied myself and ... went for the shit I probably shoulda either. But you weren't here before. Why was that? And what's different now that has you getting the good graces of 46?"

It was probably a bit of a sidewinder, two questions packed into one. Not to mention she was asking about someone who wans't Unohana.

However. If Unohana was actually throwing in with Byakuta.

She expected that Unohana would either have these answers, or have a reason why she hadn't asked them herself.
