( finishing off his glass and also going for a refill , that signature grin making jugram's rather stiff frame relax a bit . )

i like to listen to the gossip by taking a ' patrol ' around the castle . find out some very interesting things that way . i know about all of the hookups . what about you?

the old days it is then .

( can't help but feel like there was something more ; bazz always has something to say . taking a rather large sip of the contents of his glass ; warmth flooding his face . )

( a leg crosses over the other ; a longing glance spared toward bazz . he knows the respite of loneliness is something he chose on his own accord , the feeling of regret lingering around when he's in the presence of bazz . )

what would you rather toast to then , hm ?

( a blond eyebrow raises. )

( truthfully, he wished he had a smaller living space. it felt empty sometimes, hearing his cough or sneeze echo. )

perk of being Your Majesty's right hand man .

( pouring them both a glass on ice, coming back and sitting next to his friend. )

to old times ?

( holding out his glass ; a toast. )

( that laugh makes him feel the same way it did when they were younger ; warm . )

not necessarily; moreso you’re always surrounded by chaos .

( he winks at the other , leading him down a few hallways ; opening a set of double doors to reveal his huge quarters . )

make yourself comfortable .

my quarters ; it’s fairly large compared to the rooms others stay in . tidier than yours , i’d imagine .

( a subtle yet playful dig ; he’s trying . )

( averting his gaze . yeah his cheeks are warm . )

splendid . we should drink in private , if possible .

Cerulean eyes glance toward the ravenette’s head upon his shoulder.

After a moment, Jugram slides an arm around Uryu’s frame.

hm . well , earlier i confiscated a decent looking bottle of liquor from a bunch of young looking soldats .

now i never , maybe besides in the occasional afternoon tea , drink .

however , i’d like to invite you to do so with me . . . if you want to , that is .

any plans for today ?

good morning , bazz .

raising an eyebrow , giving bazz a look .

“ i have an imagine to maintain . yet i suppose if it’s just the two of us , no need to remain formal . ”

hm. soul reapers are scum, so i suppose i relate with you.

. . . i very much enjoyed your barrage of insults upon them.

such a hard day of squabbling . you must be exhausted .
