Unagi happily exchanged drinks with Kenshin, and took a deep gulp of the man's "special herbal concoction." Strong, just as he knew it'd be. Unfortunately Kenshin didn't react to the spiced rum quite as much as Unagi had hoped. It figured, really. The two of them drank like a pair of fish, so no matter how badly Unagi wanted to knock his friend's socks off, it probably just wasn't going to happen. He deluded himself into believing that he might have had a chance to catch Kenshin off guard by claiming the drink was something as weak as sake, but really it just wasn't going to happen.

[color=red]"Very nice. It reminds me of a raging ocean storm, followed by a calm rain."[/color] Unagi handed Kenshin back his drink just in time to ignore a surprise attack by the 11th division lieutenant upon her captain. He had known she was there for some time, after all. He had the best sixth sense in all the Gotei 13, it'd have been a shame if he couldn't sense her there, despite her condensed reiatsu. After all, there was always a soul ribbon one could look out for, [i]if[/i] they knew how.

Mirja dropped down to assault her captain, while Unagi merely stood there, screwing the lid back onto his flask and barely paying any attention. Kenshin, as always, handled the situation like a skilled master and took no offense to the attack. Good for him. She was a spirited one, alright. Annoying too. Like a gnat she'd always come aboard Boken no Tensen and raid the galley. Those provisions were stocked for himself and the 9th division! Ah, but how could he turn down a hungry soul? He'd certainly be well within his right, but he just didn't have it in him. However that never stopped the captain from reporting her antics to Kenshin, that it did not. As long as he was fine with it, Unagi would allow her to remain onboard his bankai, so long as she proved to not be disruptive.

[color=red]"It sounds as though you have duties to attend,"[/color] Unagi said to the lieutenant, pulling out a second flask and drinking from it. [color=red]"You're not going to catch Kenny unaware, but trying while you're supposed to be someplace else is a good strategy at least. I'd recommend attacking him in his sleep, if you want to have even some hope of a chance. Until then, best to do as he says, yeah?"[/color]
