JULIAN ST. VENDEMIAIRE

It was almost strange, to have such a personal request made of him by the Captain Commander. Julian naturally considered Abalia a friend, of course, though he had to concede that his dear wife was a far closer friend of hers than he was. It was simply a touch surprising that she would have entrusted him with a mission of this particular scale, or with such a level of importance for her personally.

Well, he would not decline, of course. He owed a great deal to her.

He made his way through the Shin'o Academy, seeking out the first of his two apparent squadmates. Abalia had already made it rather clear to him that the two were not especially fond of one another, which left him in the less than enviable position of acting as a bridge and, in all likelihood, as a mediator. Just as well, he supposed. He was rather good with these sorts of things. Julian simply ran through a handful of thoughts as he waited for a particular class to end, and once it finally finished, he entered the lecture hall with his typical cordial demeanor.

"Miss Arima? Vice Captain St. Vendemiaire, of the 3rd Division. The Captain Commander has sent me regarding your recent assignment. Shall we discuss this somewhere more secure?"

MAKOTO ARIMA

This was unexpected. In the midst of packing up and a vice-captain on her doorstep, he didn't even need to introduce himself really. Makoto knew all of them by appearance and name, that was most of the seated officers actually too. It took her a moment to wonder before nodding.

"Of course, sir. We can go somewhere more private. Did you have a place in mind?"

It was nice that Abalia decided to bring in more help, he was also much more well mannered than Elyss was which helped greatly in that she was comfortable to smile and show her best positive attitude. The same one she gave when she worked within her division and taught the odd class. If it was just the two of them she thought that it might be much easier of an assignment.

While she could take him somewhere herself, she imagined he already had somewhere in mind if he was starting with it so she kept it to herself.

JULIAN ST. VENDEMIAIRE

Julian had been briefed a fair bit regarding the two women he would be working with, and he found that Makoto's demeanor did not entirely seem to match what Abalia had described to him. He quite doubted that she had simply lied to him, so he had to wonder if there was some difference in her behavior around the Captain Commander in particular. Well, it was no matter. He would discern that in time, presumably.

"I do, yes. It is a bit out of the way, so you must forgive me, but I can assure you that there will be no prying ears."

Gesturing for her to come along, Julian led the way out of the classroom, and indeed out of Shino Academy altogether. He had found that, even if he had become fond of the modern Gotei that Abalia had created, there were still far too many prying eyes, too many who would listen into any conversation merely for the sake of knowing more. He did not care for those elements.

"I do hope that I am not interrupting your day by bringing you all this way, but this is a rather important matter, I think you would agree."

"It is fine. For a matter like this, it's hardly any trouble. Lead the way."

Gesturing for him to begin while she held onto her things and settled into a spot behind him. Walking abrest would only inconvenience others until they got outside and there was more space for her to be comfortable at walking next to him.

"Of course not. I have every intention of seeing this assignment is successful by whatever means I need to take to get it done."

At no point was she going to let her feelings of dislike get in the way of the assignment. Even towards Elyss, if it meant that she had to work independently and pursue her own leads while Elyss pursued her own then so be it though Julian was a new gear in the machine and a factor to consider. At least it meant Elyss couldn't pull rank over her as a higher ranked seated officer. This was actually quite favourable from her perspective.

"That is good to hear. It is my understanding that you are quite dutiful. A very good trait to have."

Julian knew rather well that, in another lifetime, he likely would have considered Makoto the exact sort of woman to be put into the guillotine. She was dedicated to the Gotei, and to the Captain Commander, with a fervency that would have proven a grave obstacle. However, that was all in the past. Her dedication was to his benefit, and he appreciated it rather dearly.

Leading the way out of the Seireitei altogether, Julian simply looked about the Rukongai, a touch more relaxed now that he was in what he considered a more familiar area. Of course, he did not exactly consider the Gotei to be enemy territory any longer, but he did still consider the lands outside of it to be his home. While he had thought to simply bring this woman home, he did not wish to introduce her to the children before he had been given an opportunity to judge her for himself. Instead, he took her toward a quiet little tea shop, smiling and giving a nod to the lone proprietor as he entered.

"An understeeped kawashio matcha for two, please, with a white jade pot and a platter of three azuki dango."

Gesturing toward a table toward the side of the shop, Julian took a seat of his own, as the proprietor behind the counter disappeared into the back.

"Rest assured that this place is quite secure, Miss Arima. Even the Captain Commander would likely agree with me on that matter."

"I suppose I am. I just don't like leaving things done in halves. I can't say I've heard much about you though."

Aside from the fact that he was the vice-captain and had a strange promotion to the position by personal request of the eccentric captain of the third division, there was very little she really knew about Julian beyond the basics. She thought that was weird but wasn't going to pry since nothing good had ever came from her being curious, ignorance was bliss in that sense.

Further and further they disappeared into the depths of the Rukongai. There was nothing particularly concerning about it to her. It was where she was from, some districts were home to horrible memories and some districts were the opposite as she got to watch the work she conducted for the renovations and improvements for the areas. It felt slow but Makoto had to admit that trying to modernise the Rukongai as a whole was very ambitious.

"I trust your judgement, I'm sorry if I seem distracted. I'm a little tired but will try to avoid letting it impact our meeting."

Sitting back into her seat rather than allowing herself to slouch. She put her hands in her lap and gave his features a more studious look.

"Please, do not feel as though you need to apologize. The work of the First Division is very taxing, particularly during these busy times of renovation."

Julian's voice was supportive, very genuine in how he complimented her. He found it rather impressive the degree of work that she and her division undertook so regularly these days. Of course, he had not come here simply to praise her, but he could not speak freely just yet. Slowly, each window of the teahouse was closed from the outside, and the door was sealed shut. Only after the proprietor had returned, giving Julian a nod, did the vice-captain speak.

"My captain has already briefed me on the captain commander's status, and I have been made aware of the full scope of this special squad's mission. However, I do not think it would be particularly prudent to embark on a potentially long term mission without understanding those I am intended to be working with. Would you not agree?"

There was a curt nod of acknowledgement though Makoto only wanted to explain it before he made any assumptions about it. Technically it was less the work and the brutal treatment she gave her body but that wasn't something she really liked to advertise to people that she forced her body through extreme treatment.

Makoto did not react when it started to get locked up, if it wasn't for the fact he was someone as distinguished as a vice-captain and personally requested by Abalia then she might have been less inclined to accept the situation and not develop any suspicions beyond the regular ones.

"I agree. Understanding how everyone fits into the matter is important, I hope we can work together with as little friction as possible."

It would be the most preferrable. The headache that was Elyss in her mind would like someone less reckless and obnoxious to balance it.

"Abalia has already told me a good deal about the both of you, from her perspective, anyway. I've been informed that the two of you do not see especially eye to eye, that Elyss is more than a tad headstrong and that you are prone to overwork."

Julian's voice was definitely not accusatory, merely reiterating what Abalia had told him. After all, it was fairly important that they make any potential issues within this squad apparent, otherwise he could not mediate as he had been instructed to do.

"I do not intend to enforce my own standards of behavior onto the two of you, nor to judge you based on your personal matters. While I would be perfectly glad to come to consider either of the two of you a friend by the time this journey is over, it is not the primary concern. This is, after all, something that I am doing for Abalia, both as my superior and as a friend. I suspect you would agree with that as well."

A teapot was in fact brought to the table before long, though it was notably not made of white jade. A simple cast iron teapot, with two plain porcelain cups to accompany. Julian was a polite man, of course, so he poured two cups, one for himself and one for Makoto. He knew relatively little about her, and he considered conversations such as these important to understand people.

"I suppose that's not incorrect. I find it difficult to not be doing anything, I like to keep myself busy."

Heading back to the room while she contemplated the nature of it. Sure was weird that he just had it in his back pocket like this, really made her wonder a little bit. Reminded her of the stories of those revolutionaries or whatever and the occasional missing shinigami that disappeared on patrols. He wouldn't though? Looking into things too deeply never went well if you looked too much into things that didn't concern you. One conspiracy in her life was enough for her.

"I do."

Well, they operated on the same wavelength it seemed. Now Makoto just wanted to know to what ends did Julian want to understand her. Probing her head wasn't something she was fond of.
