Turn Back The Pendulum

Renji does not count as a pet.

Why does Renji not count as a pet? He's a dog and a monkey, ain't he? That sounds like a perfect pet to me.

An edit I did.. :)

"Ah. Well. I guess that’s all taken care of, then." Once again, the plan has been foiled. "Are you sure you want to throw it at your place, though? I mean, we have space here in the Sixth Division, too, and you wouldn’t need to have people cater or clean up."

"Of course using the Sixth Division's rooms for this party would be more pleasant - as I would rather not have many half-strangers filling up the manor - but if we keep it small and quiet, I can make an exception. That way we can focus on work most of the day and only celebrate for few hours before returning to the normal schedule again."

"It wouldn’t have to be that dramatic of a break. Just a little more time for me to throw something together and all…”

"What even is this 'something' you speak of? We do have space and tea in the Kuchiki manor, is that not enough? It is unfortunate, but I can not find sweets enjoyable so there is no need for such things as cakes. I can make sure that the maids bring the guests some snacks, if that is what you are so worried about."

"Captain, if an even as important as this is going to be done, I think it has to be done right. Shouldn’t there be a slight leniency in squad duties so that the whole division can be involved? I think they’d want to celebrate, too."

"Are you implying that we should abandon our respectful duties for the sake of a silly celebration? Renji, I thought you knew better than this. I never forbid you from inviting other squad members, but this is still not enough of a reason to be slacking."

† “Give up, Kuchiki!” †

A work in progress but I think it looks okay this way.
