Vespera was, to say the least, ready to self induce a coma so she could get a fair amount of sleep. Work was slowly but surely catching up with her, and knowing humans, they were going to do something distress enough to reroute her attention from not only her pressing personal endeavors and training but enough of her work to leave her swamped and a bit sluggish.
After getting her papers and letting Cutie out so he could trot along with her, Vespera made her way to the Rukongai, drifting into a bar that she use to frequent as the little village nurse that she once was, owned by her sister-in-law, making her far more inclined to sit and stay a while.
Though it wasn’t late, the bar was empty, only Sandri wiping off the bar top. “Good evening sister-in-law.” The red head noticed Vespera the minute she came in, dropping her body in an informal bow which the captain returned with a half-smile. “You look like the sandman! I suppose you’ll be wanting a pot of the usual.”
She settled herself off into a table in the corner, setting her papers to the side. Cutie slid under the table, resting at her feet and closing his eyes without an argument. Before his owner could respond to the bar woman’s inquiry, she already had a bottle of sake on the table for her until the tea was brewed up. “Thank you so much sis.”
“Not a problem sister-in-law.” Sandri giggled, scooting back to the other side of the bar. Vespera didn’t look at her papers right away, rather poured herself a bit of the drink so she could relax a bit.
“We should seriously go on a vacation Cutie.” The woman mumbled to the dog. He seemed to approve of the idea, yapping twice weakly. “What do you think of a beach with white sand? With a dog park near by so you can girl watch.” Her laughter was prompt when the bark of agreement was given without a sign of hesitation, sipping from her cup when her laughter subsided.

Of course skulking and following Vespera so he could talk about the situation at hand was Konstantine. Clad in his newly found Black Haori he walked up to the bar. Though the first thing he did was kneel down and pet Cutie. He pulled out a few dog treats and handed them to the dog with a smile on his face. He then took a seat next to Vespera and poked her on the forehead.
"Hey there, what's up, Vessi? What did you think of the meeting? I am thoroughly pissed I don't get to go kick ass, but the Commander definetely has a good point," He stretched out, getting comfy in the seat."So, are you going to go too? Or are you just sending your Vice-Captain and your Third Seat in? I aint too much worried about mine...Kyoya and Tempest can handle themselves."

Cutie was the first once to notice Konstantine, catching his scent a few feet from the front door and lifting his head up, looking around with his hidden hazel eyes curiously until he was pet. Barking once again he looked at him, taking the treats and lying back down, munching them near Vespera’s feet.
The Shinigami on the other hand wasn’t clued into another person’s presence until Cutie started barking, and was didn’t realize it was Konstantine until she was poked against the forehead. She twisted her lips for a moment, looking at him sit down and finishing off her cup before pouring herself another.
“I think we should leave the humans be and let them destroy themselves, but since they’ve found a way to kill Shinigami I just don’t know what.” Vespera mumbled, beginning on her next small cup. “Oh, I don’t even want to bother with them. I honestly don’t have room to let either of them go but that’s how I’m doing it. I’ve got shifts to cover in the mental ward as well so I can’t leave the Soul Society.”
It took a while since Vespera was still so out of it, but when Sandri sauntered over to deliver her spiked tea she noticed Konstantine’s appearance, brows dipping down and remaining silent until she was through greeting the man and walked back behind the counter. “What’s with your haori?” She asked, slowly remembering the events of the day. The battle slipped her mind and it didn’t help that Konstantine sported no injuries, further flustering her.

"Yeah...well that is what scares me the most. I mean, some humans get abilitites but those odd fellows....just I dont know. I mean it is fine if the humans kill each other, but I certainly do not want to go to Earth and end up getting clauberized by some humans. If what the Commander says is true, then I honestly would not rather not send my troopers to Earth. Oh well though, an order is an order." He caught Vespera's look.
"What?" He asked, looking at it."I really don't know. It just sort of changed, and I kinda like it. I think the gold trim and the gold labelling suit the black well, don't you?" He asked, a subtle smile on his face."So, what is it you are drinking there?" He asked, semi-changing the subject.

“As long as these humans don’t find a way into the Soul Society we should be for the most part.” Vespera commented, changing the sake in her cup for the liquored up tea in the pot, leaving the extra cup off to the side. “If they kill Roorik or my 3rd seat I am going to be very irritated. I need to give them some of my poisoned needles…” She wandered off into some thinking out loud, biting down on her lip so she could stop.
Vespera looked at Konstantine, blink a few times silently while lifting her cup carefully and drinking slowly. “It’s nice.” That was true, it was a nice looking haori, but the explanation for it was what was throwing her off. “But it just sort of changed?” Cutie barked under the table, shifting his position from beside Vespera’s feet closer to Konstantine’s.
“Oh, it’s a special Sandri my sister-in-law makes. Some kind of tea and alcohol. It’s heavenly but she won’t tell me what’s in it.” Vespera let the topic change slip for a moment, though she didn’t forget about it in the least. “Do you want to try some?”
Finally, she remembered. “You had that spar this morning with Captain Fumine.” Vespera remembered her giant bowl of ramen, Roorik’s brother, and lack of a kiss which brought her back to the event. “How did that go?”

"I hear ya...there is going to be alot of dead humans when I go to Earth if I find out my two favorite squad members die from them. Ill rip off their heads, mount em on pikes and leave em high from a school building so those punks know who to not fuck with." He spoke so brash and suddenly, and Konstantine almost covered his mouth. Granted, he was more liable to say he was going to beat some ass, but he never said anything like that.
"I uh, don't know. It just changed after I sealed my Bankai. Kinda glad too, the plain ol black and white was getting boring." He shrugged and took the cup Vespera put aside and poured some of the tea in the cup so he could try."Well it was cut short for the meeting, but overall we were balanced the whole way. The only thing Koetara had going was that like...blood armor stuff. Granted if he didn't have it, he wouldn't be alive right now.' He shrugged and downed the tea as though it were in a shotglass.

Vespera looked at Konstantine at he spoke with a clearly taken back look. It wasn’t as though she never heard that kind of language before, not to mention it wasn’t that horrible, but the sudden way he said it… and if he indeed did speak like that, he sure as hell didn’t do when Vespera was in the room or within earshot. Cutie stood up suddenly, going back to sit near the woman’s feet.
“Yea…” She didn’t comment on it, just poured herself another cup of Sandri’s tea. Something was nagging at her but she tried her best to ignore it, using her ‘if something was up he would tell me’ line to try and focus on other things.
Vespera raised her eyebrows at the details of the fight, setting her cup on the table. “Well you must have been a bit stronger, you’re barely scratched. I guess that’s what you meant when you said you wouldn’t need me today.” Cutie barked, but Vespera couldn’t understand why, since he stayed settled under the table.

"I suppose so, when I am not ever strong, eh?" He chuckled and poked Vespera's side a couple of times. He smiled and leaned forward, putting his hand over hers."You want to go for a walk or something later? Or are you busy?" He asked. Frankly, he didn't have anything to do. Eventually boredom would set in and he was going to need to occupy himself with something.
"I still have to go and tell Kyoya and Phoenix of their departure. If you want, we could keep our squads together so the chances of them getting hurt are not as great." He rubbed Vessi's hand slightly, before retracting his own.

Vespera smiled weakly when she was poked in the side, shaking her head. “I suppose you have a point.” She admitted. She had her fill of the tea, so she poured some more into the cup and set the dish on the ground next to Cutie. The dog sniffed the cup briefly before lapping out of it.
“Sure, I could use a walk.” The captain agreed, wanting her mind to be occupied with something else even if the occupation was weak and brief. That and it would be the perfect way to keep her awake until the day was done.
Thinking about Konstantine’s suggestion for a moment she looked down at the hand touching hers, sighing inaudibly. “That would be perfect, actually. I wouldn’t know how the other captains are going to dismiss their squads, but at least 2 should be sticking together.”
Cutie barked under her so Vespera took the cup he was drinking from and refilled it. “Slow down, you’re a rowdy drunk.” She scratched his head, letting him drink his second cup.

"True that. Though, I am going to head off to my barracks and give em the news. Better to get my two seats pumped up." He said, standing up. He patted Vessi on the head and grinned "Where do you want to meet later?" He asked, reaching down to pet Cutie abit more before he departed."Isn't it the cutest thing to see a dog drinking? I am surprised you even allowed him to drink." He said sarcastically before standing up straight again.

"Just meet me in my office, I'll be there once I finish my work here." Vespera said, pulling the foler that she brought with her close to her body so she could shift Roorik's routes about with some of the other seated Shinigamis.
Vespera shrugged Cutie's drinking off, he usually just drunk what Vespera did, and if it happened to be wine or water it didn't matter to her. She just preffered to share with the creature. "I'll see you later." She muttered, sliding out of her wooden shoes and folding her legs under her on the chair, setting the papers in her lap and pulling a pen out of her sleeve pocket so she could begin scribbling.
