"These herbs are nothing special but I hope they will make up for their simplicity with their usefulness on your natal day and beyond. The little treat is for Chidori-chan."

Though unsigned, the unmistakeable scent of antiseptic and moonflower on the note left no question as to its sender.

He smiled as he felt over the note, feeling his face flush some. He wasn't one to normally celebrate his birthday. More just visit his sister in the 11th since they had shared the day. He knew who it was from, by the scent and care taken with the packaging. Isane had outdone herself, providing him with the herbs and even a snack for his 'assistant'.

He felt over the bottles with delicate care, reading each label carefully. The spacing may have been slightly off, but he didn't mind. There weren't many in the Seireitei that could read braille, much less write in it. He smiled, setting the treat on a plate for Chi to snack on as he thought about how to return the kind and thoughtful nature of the gift. He knew she had a penchant for not wanting people to 'unnecessarily' spend money on her, but it was something he liked to do to show he cared. He made sure what few nurses, aids, and field medics he had under him were always taken care of and knew he cared. Even if it meant sending them a small card for birthdays or other occasions, he wanted his subordinates to feel like they were family to him.

They could have sworn they had knocked on the right door, based on the indication given by those nice Fourth Division officers from a few minutes before. Yet, instead of Fourth Seat Yoko Keitaro, a different figure - a feminine one, hair ornate with feathers - catches their eye.

"Oh, my apologies! I-I can come back later, if... if I'm interrupting anything."

Visiting the barracks of the 4th division wasn't something Miyuki would do often until as of recently. Once the dust had settled after Aizen's betrayal and everything slowly starter returning to how it used to be, the lieutenant of the 7th division had found herself visiting it more often than she used to before, mainly because of Hinamori. Though the two have never been particularly close, there was somehow an unspoken guilt in her heart. Momo too was a victim of Aizen but her fate was... much worse. For now as far as Miyuki knew, Momo stayed unconscious while other shinigamis would tend to her wounds, slowly recovering. Entering the room Momo was resting in, Miyuki's irises found themselves drawn to a shinigami male, curiosity gleaming in their depths.

❝ How is she doing? ❞

As often the case, the taller man didn't look up from the perplexing case before him. Most people outside the immediate people he worked with and the head captain, never realized he was blind with the way he moved about. He ran his fingers over the raised bumps on the paper that detailed the injuries and afflictions to the smaller soul before him. It troubled him that it seemed her once bright, peach colored reiatsu was stained with the deep royal purple of the former captain's shikai. This may not have been diagnosed by his superiors, but he also had an ability that most didn't.

The sound of another in the room slightly startled him as he looked over at the golden aura of the 7th division's lieutenant, something that always gave him difficulty looking at due to the resonance with almost all other reishi around her. He gave her a soft bow, with a very gentle and warm smile.

"Kurobane-fukutaichou, welcome. Apologies for not saying anything when you came in." He said as he stood back up, still with eyes perpetually closed. He tried to keep composure, though it was difficult when he was caught off guard by visitors. "Momo-fukutaichou will physically recover in time. As for any emotional or mental damage from the battles and betrayal, those won't be able to be found until she's strong enough to stay out of sedation. I promise that we are giving the best care we possibly can, but one of the few things we don't want to do is rush treatment. Especially since it's unsure how she will react once she's awake."
