Ashido listened to the two Captains speak and only chuckled a little when Captain Saiyo spoke so seriously about things. It was rather amusing to Ashido after all. "[color=74C365]Don't worry about it Captain Saiyo~ You're new to the line up of Captains and so it's bound to be a lot to take on right now. However it gets easier...do not falter for a second Captain Saiyo! You must remain strong in the eyes of these young Shinigami...it's incredible how impressionable they can be...they're almost like children and so in their eyes you must be strong and show unbreakable spirit...they respect that! And before you know it you have a trusty third seat who does most of the paper work[/color]" Ashido then began laughing out loud as he placed his hands on his chest. 

Ashido then looked to Captain Yoshi...Yoshimasuto just seemed like so much to say and so Ashido had decided to shorten the name to make it easier to remember...for some reason however the name Yoshi reminded him of a little green dinosaur thing with a long tongue...just his creative mind at work no doubt. Ashido smiled at Captain Yoshi as she accepted his offer and listened to the rest of what Captain Yoshi had to say. "[color=74C365]I agree...we best save the talking for when we are relaxed and having some delicious tea! I know a great place...[/color]" Ashido nodded then began to make his way down the hall, motioning for the other two Captains to follow him. After a little walk out of the barracks and through the Seireitei they arrived at the fabulous place...in truth it looked a little run down...and small but Ashido knew the tea here was excellent!

"[color=74C365]Well come on![/color]" Ashido entered the small building then sat down at one of the tables...surprisingly enough the interior wasn't all that bad, nothing fancy but not bad. "[color=74C365]It's a great little place! Wouldn't you agree Captain Saiyo and Captain Yoshi~?[/color]" Ashido waited for a couple of seconds before a young man with pink hair arrived at their table "[color=f6989d]Ah Captain Akigari! Back already? I've got to say it's good to see you again...[/color]" Ashido chuckled a little and smiled at the young man "[color=74C365]What can I say Hatoru? I simply enjoy your tea...and after all...I feel it's important to support the members of my Squad no matter what it is they choose to do[/color]" Hatoru smiled brightly at Ashido and bowed "[color=f6989d]Thank you Captain Akigari! I am most grateful for your kindness![/color]" Hatoru then straightened himself before speaking once more "[color=f6989d]What will you be having today Captains?[/color]" 

Ashido rubbed his chin with his right hand as he thought for a moment before speaking "[color=74C365]I think we will have some of your incredible Tea...after all...[/color]" Ashido then looked at Captain Saiyo and Captain Yoshi "[color=74C365]I've spoken so highly of it...I think it's safe to assume you both want to try it.[/color]" Hatoru bowed then made his way off to make the tea "[color=74C365]He's a very hard worker...Hatoru wasn't a very confident man when I took over the Squad...the reason he ended up in Squad 4 was because he was bullied constantly just because of his pink hair. I've spent a lot of time with Hotaru training him to become a great healer but also an exceptional fighter...the truth was that seeing someone so emotionally weak truly upset me...he had so many dreams but due to him being the target of constant bullying his confidence was greatly dampened and so he felt as if he'd never achieve anything and that would only get worse if no one helped him. Through personal training stands a man who's healing abilities are exceptional along with his combat abilities...he now has the confidence to fulfil his dreams and to see him succeed in achieving these dreams and smile through it all really does leave me with a warm feeling in my heart...to me that's what being a Captain is about...after all look at this place...through hard work he purchased this place and everyday since he purchased it, I have been visiting to give my constant support. To help my Squad members achieve their dreams is all I want as a Captain...and in truth, in doing that this hardly even feels like a job anymore. Hatoru has a achieved one of his many dreams and of course that is to open his own tea shop. [/color]"

Ashido smiled at both of the Captains before speaking once more "[color=74C365]Doesn't it just give you a warm feeling? It's not the flashiest place in the world but it has character and I like that...and besides...the tea truly is great, he is a natural when it comes to make incredible tea.[/color]" Ashido then rubbed the back of his head before continuing to speak "[color=74C365]My apologies...I've rambled on long enough. So how about you two? I'm interested to hear what you think it means to be a Captain...[/color]" Ashido then leaned forward, resting both his elbows on the table and resting his chin on his hands
