Don't Mix With Ammonia [Hitoshi/Kanae]

"The hollows are not the cause for our concern." the Kurata spoke plainly in turn, making no disguise for priority. "Shipment from the living world tends to be far from a profitable venture, but into the Gotei? Seireitei being on alert, hunting for some..." A dismissive wave, eyes guiding into nothing before trailing back to Kanae - "...Terrorist."

The word was overflowing with disdain, a blink later returning to Hitoshi's static speech. "The Shirazumi are a understood force within the rukongai. A strong reputation, expected by the people to perform in one way or another." A collected breath, leaving the man a tired sigh.

"Regardless of your opinion, we will make necessary steps. There is already a liaison in place, should he need be pulled in my direction." A nameless drunk, paid a sum to sit at a Shirazumi-rengokai bar, get belligerent, then name drop the Kurata.

Enough to get their attention, at the end of the day.

"What of the Gotei, then?" Even in his voice's monotony, curiosity fought to be heard.

If the Hollows, the primary cause of the Gotei's strictness over the last year, wasn't a concern, then how could an investigation going nowhere be? "If you don't believe the Hollows are a problem, you can sit there twiddling your thumbs until after we're finished dealing with them. The bombing investigation only exacerbated the lock down. The Gotei was already on alert." Annoyed by the implication from Hitoshi, Kanae continued speaking with an edge in her voice.

As for the Shirazumi, if they were to buckle and do as they're told Kanae figured they could be usable fighting force. Maybe not a capable one, but in any conflict there was always going to be a use for meat bags to throw into grinder. Worst case scenario she could always go back to that wretched District and pry the Shirazumi from Tsubine's dead fingers. Any in her way would fall to her blade, of that Kanae was absolutely certain.

"Do what you must. None in their organization are particularly dangerous, so if they must be crushed, they will be." Now, onto the Gotei, she thought. What had changed recently? Not much. Leaning back in her chair, she spoke with vitriol clear in her words, having no love for this subject "The Gotei is the Gotei. There are some in my Division I can utilize, but much of this new generation believes in disgustingly optimistic ideals. The Squad Six investigation, as I understand it, is thus far fruitless. Though if it's Captain continues poking his nose where it doesn't belong, who knows what might happen to him. Curiosity is a dangerous thing, after all."
