It was nice to enjoy things while you could.
Certainly those words escaped his mouth often enough, both in the past and now with taking care of Arlette. OF course he kept otherwise to himself. It was a sortof ....tangential job. He cared for her, made sure she didn't overexert herself.

But when it came to .... planning. Moving things forward. Action. That was left to the young ones. Arlette and that young red-haired fellow. Alastair, if he recalled. It seemed they had set the tune to the little situation he'd found himself in. He didn't really feel all that ... involved. It felt an awful lot like Karakura. He just did as he was asked and kept things from getting out of hand when it came to the day to day.

Some part of him wondered if he shouldn't do .... more. Maybe speak to Arlette about all this. But another part of him was just a bit too .... tired. He was fine waiting for her to bring things to his attention. IF she wanted his opinion, he was sure she'd ask for it. That aside, he still made sure to leave the estate to move around the city. He wasn't a man to allow the looming threat of danger get in the way of him living his life. After all... if he stayed cooped up in that mansion, he might start thinking too much.

And so he decided to go out. Enjoy some of those matches at the Arena. And otherwise occupy himself with the sights and sounds of the City. He found himself walking down the sidewalk, and he realized that he didn't have any particular destination in mind. Why not just see where the day took him? He'd taken to sampling the local shops and eateries. Hm, maybe he'd grab lunch before he headed back for the night. He'd see how things went.

MORIKAWA MIZU

Between her matches in the Seaside Fight Night arena, Morikawa Mizu had spent some time exploring the well and truly massive City of Light. But even with weeks or months free from duties in Soul Society, she wasn't sure she could see everything the city has to offer. The heaven-touching buildings were so gargantuan and intimidating Mizu felt like an ant in a redwood forest. Except with loud car horns, bright lights, and thousands of people walking into and out of the trees. Compared to the Seireitei, which was basically frozen in time, this futuristic metropolis was alien beyond Mizu's imagination.

Clad in her Shinigami uniform, Mizu was on the receiving end of an occasional stare here and there. This didn't really surprise her given the City of Light is home to the Vandenreich, an organization populated by people who had repeatedly been defeated and stepped on by Soul Society. Mizu was well-read enough to understand the history between these two groups, and though she felt sympathy for the Quincy people she knew having not been around for the difficult decisions and wars she couldn't make too many judgments of anyone. After all, she thought, Quincies are humans too, and protecting humans is the duty of Shinigami.

Between thinking about the history of her people and the people around her, and staring in awe at the dazzling buildings and landmarks, Mizu was distracted when she suddenly felt like she'd run into a wall. "Ahh!" Startled, she immediately fell to the ground and landed on her rear. Mizu looked up and realized she'd run into someone. She quickly stood and bowed at the waist in front of the tall, white-haired gentleman "I must apologize! I did not mean to run into you!"

There was that certain presumption when you were walking. That slight adjustment the crowd always did. A certain degree of automatic shift whenever two people came into close proximity. You move a bit, and they will probably do the rest. but well, that wasn't always perfect. Honestly he didn't even see Mizu closing in until she ran right into him, a blink of surprise before he turned and spotted the woman on the ground. A shinigami?

"Oh, sorry there. Didn't see you." He blurted out before he reached down to offer his hand to the young woman so that he could help her up. A good number of individuals in the City of lights no doubt had slowly ...acclimated to the presence of Shinigami. But Bauher had been used to such individuals for ages now. Having previously lived in Karakura. All the same he put on a sheepish smile. "No need to apologize. It's easy to get a little distracted around here." He pointed out, pausing for a moment as he glanced to the other side of the city, and then back again. Hm, ths one seemed..... familiar.

"Say, you wouldn't happen to be a Miss Morikawa would you?" He ventured, a calm curiosity in his voice. Having taken the time to watch some of the matches, he was almost sure that he'd seen this little lady duking it out in the Arena.
