With all the going-ons around with meetings and explosions and growing tension he was told not to go off into the human world for a while. He didn't know why exactly, but it was almost like some of the higher ranking were making preparations for something or someone. It was a little unnerving to see everyone on edge, yet not know why and there was also the scarcity of Captains lately too. Sure, it wasn't as if you just saw a Captain classed Shinigami walking around every few minutes, but they were even rarer lately than what he had noticed when he first made it into the academy. Something was going on, yet he was practically unable to do anything other than run unimportant errands to keep himself occupied.

"Yes, thanks," Taking the few medical supplies that he said he go out and buy, Tataki held them in their neatly folded paper bag in his right hand. The vendor, an older woman, had seen him before. She always remarked on his young age and his Shinigami uniform. She seemed to love to compliment him and his advances, but, really, Tataki was a long way from being anything more than a foot solider. That's why he was out here running errands. Well, that and there wasn't much of anything to do back at the 4th Squad Headquarters but practice kido and treatment procedure. It was usually just going through the motions anyway.

This left the incredibly young Shinigami to go wandering through Seireitei while in the guise of running errands and looking for anything that could be useful. He didn't want to think that he was just relaxing and not being productive, because that was the last thing he wanted to do. At this point, when all work was taken by the higher ups and secrets were being kept, he, one of the lower enlisted, was forced to just find a way to occupy his own time. He would honestly be happy if someone would just tell them they needed help or offer him some important job or something that they needed from him.

Step after step, traveling through what you could call a marketplace, he was almost looking for something that he could offer a helping hand in or simply something that would catch his eye long enough to distract him from the fact that he was probably missing out on real work.

Lt. Zeipher was going through the marketplace looking for some refreshments for his squad back in 11th barracks. He grabbed a couple loaves of bread and meat parts. Placing them in the basket over his shoulder. Placing them in neatly he folded a cloth between each layer so they wouldn't get affected from the other layer. Slowly walking around the market, He smiled at the old ladies that offered free samples to him. Like drinks or sweets anything like that.

"Wow, such great food here! Wonder what everyone wants to eat." he said, pushing up his glasses while pushing back the white hair out of his eyes. He needed a haircut. Pronto. The lt. badge blew in the wind on his wrist as he held the basket firmly, trying not to drop it. He noticed a new face walking by passing him. He followed the man with his eyes, before shunpoing behind him speaking up.

"Well whats up?! you're new right? I haven't seen you before here so i thought i would introduce myself. I am Lt. Zeipher Pronto of 11th division, and you are?"

"Woah-" Staggering back Tataki threw up his hands, dropping the supplies he bought on the floor. The bandages unrolled, the scalpels cut their own sterilized plastic covers and pins splashed all over the place. It was an understatement to say that Tataki was a bit surprised by the Flash Step. "Oh-" Looking down Takaki slipped a casual hand to the back of his head, scratching his short dark hair, "I guess I'll have to get more," He said, with a smile. It was an accident, though it would keep him all the more busy now.

Tataki looked over to the person that appeared before them. It would be rude to just drop down and start picking things up, wouldn't it? Straight to business then! "Yes, I'm Yousei, Tataki. I recently graduated, but I managed to get 4th seat still, Sir" Tataki didn't realize it until after he spoke that he noticed he was talking to a Lieutenant. "It must have taken a lot of work to become a Lieutenant, Sir. It's too bad. I haven't really met all the members of my Unit, because something is going on I think."

Zeipher was startled at the reaction from the shinigami. Dropping most of the stuff he dropped was not really the greatest reaction he thought, but it didn't matter he got a response. After shaking the mans hand, Gust bent down on his knees, Wrapping up most of the bandages. Picking up the scalpels that were dropped and all the other supplies into the basket they came from. "Ah! I am so sorry! I didn't mean to startle you like that." Gust was really feeling bad. He honestly didn't expect the man to get so startled easily.

He nodded his head at Tataki as he noted how it was a difficult journey to get to the position he was at."not the easiest thing in the world." he said rubbing the back of his head,smiling.'but i plan to take it a step further and become captain of 11th!" He said so with pride. Grabbing Cheolpa tightly. He looked down at Tataki again. "Wait till you meet you captain Cat...She's..a colorful one." he said rubbing his chin.

"Eh-" Tataki wanted to say something about Zeipher putting the dirty supplies back in the bag with the clean ones...But he was going to get more anyways so it wasn't that big of a deal...Probably. "Oh, It's alright, sir." Tataki would pause, lowering his hand as he set the supplies on the ground and the bag they were in. Even though you appeared behind me... Tataki smiled awkwardly.

He's expression soften a bit as a familiar name was said. "That's right. I've only meet the Captain at a distance. Even with my promotion, I've never been able to get any audience with the Captain. I think it's probably because I haven't been working hard enough," Tataki was sure that was the reason. The harder he worked the better off he would be in this Shinigami world. This little break alone was causing his mind to whirl. He was thinking about all the things he wasn't doing or orders that he could be given, until he was self reminded the very reason he was here. There wasn't anything else to do today.

Tataki's eyes rested on Zeipher's sword arm. He did say 11th. He's not going to challenge me to a fight or anything? Right... Seeing Zeipher grab his weapon like that, which was only because he was a bit excited, did make Tataki a little nervous, but it did give him an idea. An 11th Division Lieutenant was most likely the best to ask and the worst to ask, but Tataki was going to try it either way. "Sir, if you wouldn't mind, you think you could help me out with something? I was going to try the practical things, like flesh and long-term recovery, but I think you could really help me in another area." Tataki didn't out right say what it was that he wanted and he did that on purpose. He didn't think Zeiper was stupid or anything, but he wanted to make sure the Shinigami even had time for what Tataki was going to ask for.

Zeipher brought a confused look upon his face. "Practical things?" he thought to himself. He brought his hands behind his back, rolling his eyes around the area. 'What thing are you talking about? First tell me that." He said in a low toned voice. Gust wasn't one for experiments since he didn't do well with needles and such. leaning against Cheolpa, he shifted his weight to his right leg thinking to himself.

" I don't think he would mess with me..If he does I could just end him there.." rubbing his chin he looked over towards Tataki waiting for an answer.

"Nothing like that-" Tataki would raise his hands as if to soothe Zeipher's suspicions. I should be more careful. Tataki lowered his hands and gestured towards the bag of spoiled goods.

"I was going to go back to the barracks and practice basic healing methods such as wrappings, stitchings, and dissections. That's what I was going to use those supplies for. There are corpse dolls back there that we use to practice, well, practical treatments." Pausing, Tataki picked up his bag again and gave that same awkward smile as he was about to ask Zeipher for help. It didn't sound like it was going to be pleasant either.

"I was wondering if you could help me with my kido," It was probably bold to ask someone you just met for a favor like that, but maybe Zeipher was as friendly as he appeared and wouldn't outright say no. He doesn't seem the type to deny right off the bat for no good reason. Besides, he owes me for the supplies, I'd think, His thoughts were a little more bold than his own words were. Tataki wouldn't try to pressure Zeipher into something. In fact, he wanted to stress that Zeipher wouldn't have to do anything he didn't want to or that he didn't have the time for, "That's if you have the time, Sir. I'm sure you are busy and all. I just haven't stretched my kido muscle, so to speak, in a while. It's a simple procedure focused on reliving muscle aches and tension in the joints. It won't hurt in any way," He motioned his hands as he spoke, raising them and lowering them. He practically spoke with his hands, his fingers and wrist seemed to flow with his words.

Despite his clams and his position as a 4th Seat, Tataki was extremely young looking. He looked like he should be running around a park and not in a Shinigami uniform. Someone his age as a seated officer could almost be taken as a joke and his Kido may represent his outward immaturity. It all would come down to whether or not Zeipher could trust this excruciatingly young boy with a practice run of Kido.

He would push up his glasses. The startle from Tataki earlier made them shift a little. Grabbing Cheopla he would smile brightly as the young officer asked him for help in kido. "I don't see a problem. I'm a little kido user myself. We all have to start somewhere right?" He said rubbing the back of his head.

Looking around the area, He placed his sheath on his right shoulder while turned the other way. "well? As long as you don't make my arm numb, we should be good." He said giving a thumbs up and a wide smile. Something that Gust done alot was this smile and pose. Every chance he had to smile, he would do so. Hopefully this kid is good. the thought of his arm being useless became burned in his head. But he could always go to Cat to fix it if he needed to.

"Here is probably not the best idea, Looking to the left he saw more than a few curious eyes. Tataki looked around a moment before he found a pretty high building that stood over many of the others. If they practiced up there Tataki would feel more comfortable.

He's a kido user huh? He kinda...Looks like one, heh, Smirking slightly, Tataki would point at the taller building, "Lets try up there? But, well, slow-fast," He would say, saying not to use Shunpo again. They could just walk over there. There wasn't any rush, right?

"You mentioned your arm, sir. Did something happen to it before? Or, did you think that I would be using Kido on your arm?" Tataki's smirk would grow to a sly grin as he may have taken the lead towards that building. "The kido I was going to use is a little more complex. I learned it a few weeks ago and haven't had any real training with it. I guess I"ve been a bit busy, but taking time out to train is important too, right? Well, I"m sure a Lieutenant doesn't have to train that often," It was praise, apparently. The Lieutenants weren't second in command of the squad for no reason at all. They were strong, smart, and courage just like Tataki was told...He was sure.

"You mentioned your arm, sir. Did something happen to it before? Or, did you think that I would be using Kido on your arm?"
this caused Zeipher to adjust his glasses as he looked over the man. Nothing could be sure that he wouldn't mess up His own arm, but if the man needed to train, Zeipher would be glad to help.
"Just don't make my arm useless ok?" he said doing an awkward smile. He never saw this man or never heard of him before now, but he had all the trust in him. He grabbed the sheath pointing it at the man.
"Or i'll end you on the spot..". Leaving a momemnt of silence he broke it with laughter as he slapped the back of tataki. "it's a joke, just a joke!". Zeiph didn't really mean that in an offensive way. It was just to get the guy a little jumpy.
