Taking Up Responsibility {Blod}

Blodeuwen was growing ever border of office functions. Now she had some underlings, and wasn't running around to perform every duty by herself, there were administrative things to attend to; things she would usually leave to a Fuku-kidocho. Interviews were a brief reprieve from that, when they didn't go poorly. She had seen out a bleary-eyed Vanessa a few days ago and she now welcomed Shiori into her office, by opening the door using naught but the strength of her reiatsu. Waving the shinigami into the sparsely decorated room; that as ever smelt of vanilla and nag champa incense, Blod ruminated about the fairness of what she was about to do. Kumo had offered Shiori for the position, as opposed to her submitting herself; Blodeuwen felt it was fair enough that she be given a shot if it was her superior that had recommended her, as opposed to Vanessa's desire to return to the squad that had abandoned her.

"Yes, yes hello Shiori. I trust you are well." she said softly, the door closing behind Shiori presuming she entered. "Ordinarily in these circumstances I might ask a few questions about your application, but it seems Kumo-san has given you a strong recommendation. He's supposed to have an eye for that sort of thing." she wanted to get right to the point, no mickeying about. Two cups of warm tea poured themselves from the pot on the desk and Blodeuwen took a sip from one. All the while she spoke, her left hand held a calligraphy brush, and she seemed to be writing upon a scroll while looking at Shiori, though most likely she wouldn't be able to work out what was being written.

"Do you think you'll be able to represent the Kido Corps in your home division. There can be no split-loyalty as it were. While you are our representative to improve relations, we need to know what's going on in the Gotei 13. If we need to mobilise in order to assist with various operations then it helps to have some forewarning, you understand? Not that we really deal in sogyoku executions any more..." Blodeuwen said, trailing off.

Blodeuwen nodded curtly, her left hand still writing in cursive. She was recording everything that happened; she had spent enough time performing secretarial duties that it came virtually second-nature to do so now. It was a great excuse to practice her calligraphy. She had been illiterate when she arrived at soul society and learning to write had taken a long time, mostly because it turned out that she had been left handed her whole life without realizing it. Llew had taught her to use a sword right-handed though and so until her illiteracy had become an issue she had never even considered herself sinistrous. By this point, it was likely Shiori would notice her musing to herself, before snapping her attention back.

"Hmm? Oh yes, of course. Well I'm going to trust Kumo on this one. You start in the morning, arrive at the second division's barracks at eight sharp. I'll ask them to have someone there to take you to whereever you end up staying. The reps usually stay with the Onmitsuko as opposed to the 2nd themselves. But I presume you won't need a tour?" she asked, realizing that Shiori had once taken her from the 2nd division's barracks to the SRDI and undoubtedly knew her way around far better than Blodeuwen did. "They'll issue you uniform, take this too." she said, finally ceasing the writing and handing Shiori a band of cloth similar to what lieutenants wore, with the Kidoshu's symbol of a circle with three points, as well as the 2nd division's symbol of a flower embroidered on. After handing it over, she would pinch the incense on her desk to douse it. With a blink, turned back to the forms before her.

"You may go; unless there's anything else." she asked, not impatiently.
