[i]”This one is a handfull...”[/i] Amaya said inside Aoshi’s mind, but nothing in his face would give it away, nor that he agreed. 
As the lieutenant had come closer Aoshi had recognised her instantly and at the same time remembered which face went with the name. People from the different squads didn’t really mix that often, only on special occasion. Of course the captains and lieutenants met regularly, but the grunts pretty much stayed with their own. This allowed for some serious problems with misplaced division loyalty. People arbitrarily believed their squad to be better than the others. On the rare occasions when the squads did meet en masse there was almost always at least one fight, which only added to the fourth division’s workload on what should be a relaxing event. 

Aoshi did like the fourth division, the people there were generally pretty calm and approachable, being the medics and supporters of the 13 squads attracted a certain kind of people… But in the end, someone from the fourth was almost guaranteed a good conversationalist, and could talk about something else than how cutting hollow with a zanpakuto was the best feeling ever.

Aoshi was silent as he got up. The lieutenant had tried to scare him but it wouldn’t work. For one, she didn’t hold any power over him as they were assigned to different squads. Second, he was in time and ready, while she came last and was rude to boot.
He looked down on her, they were at a tough place etiquette-wise. If they’d been alive Aoshi would’ve been the higher ranking of the two. Not only was he male, but also older. The fact that she outranked him wouldn’t matter in comparison. Here things were a lot more complicated. 
Aoshi was still older, so that merited some respect, but gender had no weight anymore, and rank was important. 
The lieutenant apparently felt comfortable being the high-ranking of the two, Aoshi could play along for the sake of conversation.

“Please mind your tone, lieutenant. They are working as fast as they can. Also, what are you talking about “epic”? Aren’t we just going to watch the strange hollow to see if it’s a threat or not? Doesn’t sound very epic to me… Don’t really know why the patrolling reapers can’t take care of it either now that I think of it…”
