Hearing,amaya explain the sword lily to amelia I addIt is a symbol of when we first met amaya. It also,only grows where great,swordsmen have been. I grow them in my garden at my office. In fact amelia your mama is known to some as the sword lily assassin . I have an alis as well but im not known as well as she is. I say tye last bit with a laugh obviously it was a joke. Smiling as I sit back against the ground between amaya and amelia.

Amelia sat down as well a troubled expression on her face, as she did not know what to say next. On one hand she wanted to know more about Captain Tazuma, as this was really her first time talking to him since the day Minoru had joined Division 2, and that conversation had been rather brief. One another hand she wanted to know more about her mother's relationship with Tazuma, as they seemed to be rather close in her eyes already... well closer then any other person she had seen her mother talk with. The only other topic she wanted to voice was her concern for Minoru, as his inner turmoil did make her worry for his well being.

The look on amelia's face spoke volumes for her . I could see it plain as day that she had tons of questions for me and from the way she looked over at minoru.i could see she was worried about him as was I. Looking over to herIs there anything else that you wanted to know amelia.i can tell,your little mind is racing. I say calmly to her

Tazuma's question helped Amelia make up her mind a bit more easily
"Well Captain Tazuma I was wondering if I could learn a little more about you. Your past that is. I'll tell you about mine in exchange if you want" she said, looking over at him now

As Amelia, Amaya and Tazuma were talking among themselves Minoru stood a few meters away leaning against the wall deep in thought. While he had calmed down, Minoru still felt the need to train on his own, but also felt he should stay here with the others. With a light sigh Minoru would resign to staying around the division for now, and walked over to the others taking a seat against the wall. As he sat down Minoru shifted so his zanpakuto was in his lap, the moment Minoru would lean against the wall again he'd reach into his uniform and pull out a small flask/vial of sake with a mouthful left in it.

My past.. It's a bit strange. You see I never knew ny birth parents. They were killed when I was very young. I was found by a passing monk who came and found me. He raised me there in his temple. He,taught me to walk,talk,read,right and most importantly how to wield a sword. One night the patron of out temple came to me in a dream and chose me as her champion. When I,woke up my father Koshi took me before the elders because I was holding the form of the patron.,they sent me to the academy to becime a shinigami. There I met you mama and my,other friends. pulling my sword across my lap I look at ameliathis is kuri yami bo naka de kashu-the silent singer in the dark. She is the sword I have wielded since I left the temple long ago

Amelia smiled a bit as Tazuma told his story
"I can't remember my birth parents either. You see they abandoned me to the streets when I was... three, maybe four years old. I had nothing but the clothes on my back and a stuffed god called Celcee. I tried to find my way back home but we lived in a big city and I got lost" she said, her face slowly changing from happy to sad as the memories flooded her mind"It was so lonely. Some nights it was so hot, others wet and cold. I was able to get by for a few years without much help until winter came around and I had to rely on support from a shelter. But one winter I couldn't get into the shelter. I was hungry, cold... desperate. I needed food so badly some days and the shelter usually gave me some. But since I couldn't get in this winter I had to find other means of getting food. Of course I accepted the first bit of help offered to me. But in exchange I was forced to... forced to..."

Just like when she had told Minoru this story she couldn't seem to get past this part without stopping to regain her composure, as there were tears in her eyes that she was fighting back. She hugged her new lion tighter for comfort.

Seeing amelia flooded with emotion I interject"no need to continue little amelia. I'll make you the same promise I made your mama. I will make sure no one puts a hand on you again unless you want it. I your mama that the day I saved her in the ambush " tears came to my eyes a bit,when saying this. As I made the promise I held out my sword so amelia would see how serious I was

Amelia wiped her eyes quickly and smiled at Tazuma
"Thank you Captain" She said, her voice still shaking a bit"Sides there isn't much to my story after that point. It was around that point in time that I got my... little health issue as well. I died because of a hollow a few years later but Mama saved me before it could eat me and sent me to Rukongai. I met Mama in Rukongai a few years after that and asked her to help me become a shinigami. She funded me through the Academy and well, here I am"

Smiling back at amelia"and quite a shinigami you will become too amelia. Say if,your mama is ok with it i'd like to,help in your training if that,is ok with you as well?"
Now looking at minoru"is the sake better or worse then the last one I gave you?"
