Unagi mostly ignored Kenshin and Mirja as they addressed one another. He greatly disliked the lieutenant's tomfoolery, behaving like she was a small child, so he avoided the behavior whenever possible. Frankly he found that his friend's tolerance for it was nothing short of miraculous. Instead of involving himself in any way, Unagi mentally went over the last issue of Seireitei News Magazine and was brainstorming potential articles for the next issue. A newsletter about the increase of hollow activity would be necessary, to prepare his readers for any potential battles they'd be facing. Something more interesting and fun needed to follow that up, though. The best alcohols of the living world? Maybe. A drama piece on the noble houses? Eh, definitely not. The sexiest women of the Gotei? Winner. He'd personally write it up as soon as possible.

"In any case, I think I'll be heading back to the 11th, Eel-san, feel free to drop by whenever." Kenshin's voice pulled Unagi from his own little world. The captain straightened up (or at least slouched a little less) and returned the invitation. [color=red]"You know that I will, Ken-kun. The same goes for you. Your lieutenant certainly takes advantage of your open invitation often enough."[/color]

Unagi turned to leave so that he could return to his bankai, and his men, patrolling the skies, when something caught his eye. A hell butterfly approached, and fluttered right passed him, heading for Kenshin. Out of curiosity, Unagi held his ground for the moment, just in case the message was something of interest.
