[quote=Krinos Solstice] Aizen heard the Captain mention the academy, it was clear Central 46 hadn't informed the Captains of his...situation yet. It was of little concern, he was sure they'd tell them soon, right? In the meantime, Aizen just had to go along with it all. He moved to the desk and picked up his paper, reading it over quickly before filling it out and handing it back to the Captain, "Thank you very much for your time, Captain." he said, bowing before he left his office. He stopped halfway through the barracks before remembering his acquaintance had been with him as well, deciding to wait for him, even though they were heading in opposite directions. He wanted to make sure Kenny knew he was giving him a rain check on the story about his eye, Aizen wondered, leaning against the wall as he waited. When Kenny patted him on the shoulder and told him he could help with acquiring his Shikai, Aizen made sure not to forget to take him up on the offer at some point.He made his way back to the Squad Five barracks, this time as a member, deciding he'd get familiar with the place first. It was empty the last time he had visited, he wondered if it still was. Upon arriving, he sighed, yep, still empty. Oh well, at least he would have silence and peace to perform Jinzen again, one thing he repeatedly did since getting his weapons. Sitting on the floor in the corner, he set his Zanpakutos in his lap and lightly rested his hands on them, controlling his breathing. The academy had taught him a few things he had retained, though he still had no contact with his Zanpakutos, he thought, his concentration now breaking. "Damn it, I did it again!" he scolded himself, sighing afterwards. He stared at the identical Zanpakutos, "Why won't you talk to me? Am I not worthy yet? Or is there something else?" he asked, expecting a reply. He sighed again, "I need to face facts here, I may never be able to contact them...I never graduated the Academy after all, I don't blame them for thinking I'm not worthy, even I don't think I am..." he said, shaking his head. Standing, he decided he'd go relax at a pub, making his way towards the nearest one. He didn't get more than a couple feet before almost bumping into Kenny, this time the man nearly giving him a heart attack, "Damn it, Kenny, you nearly gave me a heart attack!" he exclaimed, holding a hand over his heart. After it calmed down, he looked at him, "I was wondering, you up for doing a mission with me?" he asked. [/quote] Kenny grinned beneath his half-mask. "Sure. We could both use the exercise anyway. Since Captain Kuchiki seems unnaturally busy, I suggest we find another captain to give us a mission. And with Squad four being relief, mostly, I suggest we find Squad 13's captain. He may have something for us." He cracked his neck again, and looked down at the large scars that crisscrossed every aspect of his bare torso.
