[This... was not where he expected to be. That's apparent by the look on his face, which is both confused and cautious. He reaches for something at his side, only to find it missing and a strange book tucked into his hakama-himo where it should have been.

This appears to anger him slightly. He looks suspiciously at his surroundings and whispers to no one in particular.]

...Has he managed to fool us once again?

[Finding no answer or immediate danger in his surroundings, he flips open the book, looking for clues.]

What is this?

[He takes his last sip of tea and stands.]

I take it they might remember me as well?

[bloodsugar]

Mm, that's right. You had a lot of friends, here. I guess some of us were a little closer than others...

[alskjdf close enough to jokingly call you 'mama', anyway.

Jyuushiro is the lone parental figure he's ever known!!!!11 past!you had strange tastes, clearly.]

But that's a story for another time. You should get some rest, J-- ah. [HE'LL GET USED TO THIS AGAIN. NO REALLY.] ...Ukitake.

[lifeandpride]

I'm always grateful for good friends.

[He can't help but smile a little bit - now that he knew a some more, the man's nervous nature seemed more endearing than suspicious. He shakes his head slightly.]

...You can call me Juushirou, if it's what you're used to, Father. I'll get used to it.

[Hell, Shunsui insisted on a first name basis on the first day. Of course they argued about that... but that was a story for another day.]

I guess I have some searching to do. If you'll excuse me...

[a-ah. that smile. ;; his HEART old man...! if he were in another mood, he might've swooned dramatically in a tease, but...

Abel chuckles, pushing up to his feet. Jyuushiro...]

Then please... call me Abel. A friend never has to be so formal with me, and that's something I'll always count you.

Be careful, okay? And you know how to reach me if you need anything. [slkdjf he can't believe you're back...]

[lifeandpride]

Father Abel, for now then. [small chuckle]

[He tucks the journal into his top, and make sure it's secure.]

I will, of course. Goodnight.

[he offers a little wave as Ukitake retreats, waiting til he's gone and out of sight before letting the smile falter.

...well. he supposes... it's a good idea to warn Elektra and Charlie, huh? the castle just got a little more interesting again.

see you later, Jyuu.]
