WELCOME 'HOME' [P]

Emilia was normally a patient one, but she found herself growing irritated the longer she waited. Perhaps it was because they knew she would come, Sui Feng seeming to have seen the future, though, in reality, what choice did Emi really have? Okay, maybe she couldn't see the future, but she was smart enough to realize she would come. Sighing, she tapped her foot slightly, her Spartans remained still. She wondered, though, how would the others regard her? There were some who already knew her name, and what she desired, but there were still some ignorant to her existence. Would they fear her? Or would any of them be eager to learn from her? Emulate her? She had no desire to make friends, and truthfully, she didn't really care if the others hated her. She did not come here to make schoolyard friends. There was only one purpose.

Lost in her thoughts, only the door suddenly opening brought her back to reality. Finally. She dropped her arms to her side as it raised further and further, expecting Sui Feng to be standing there with that sly smirk on her face. But it was not she who came to greet her, but Shunsui. How... convenient that her fathers former Captain would be the one to welcome her in to the Seireitei. She heard only stories as a little girl, of how they often drank together, how Shunsui was the one who taught him value, morals, and respect. Long before he had succumb to his madness. It was he that had draft him in to his squad, and indirectly mentored him.

She narrowed her eyes slightly as he bowed, unsure of whether it was a sincere gesture or not. She did not know the man well enough to gauge otherwise, but, she responded with the same respect, and tapped her fist against her chest in a salute. Walking forwards, her Spartans keeping distance, but following, she kept her gaze on Shunsui. Apparently he even knew her last name, something she had not disclosed to many people. Her father, then, must have spoke of her.

"When I was a little girl, my father often spoke of you. He told me should I ever meet you, to show you respect both on, and off, the battlefield. For this reason, you may address me as Emilia, or Emi. Which ever you prefer." He was the only Captain that would receive such respect, not even Yamamoto, despite all his power, would command such it from her. "Though, I did not expect my fathers former Captain to be the one to greet me, especially since it was Sui Feng who approached me in the first place. I assume she finds herself too busy to be the one to escort me, wherever that might be, or have you taken this as a personal task because of my last name?" Shirked by Sui Feng once again. Just like when she was a Shinigami.

She stood mere feet from the Captain, yet she found her eyes gazing passed him, and in to the Seireitei. It was almost... unsettling to be here again. It felt wrong. Not just because she had a dislike for the Shinigami, but because this was a place her kind was cast away from, looked down upon, as something to be disposed of. Now she stood as an invited guest, and it had been many, many years since she saw the inside of it, as something other than an enemy. Her chest tightened and she felt a slight feeling of panic attempt to surge up, but she forced it down. It was nothing, at least that's what she told herself. Apprehension, maybe, but she wouldn't allow it to show. Though his words registered, it wasn't until he mentioned her 'associate' that she fully brought her attention back to him. "So, he is here then? I guess she wasn't lying afterall." Sui Feng had hinted at the presence of one of hers, but she had refused to believe it. It's not the fact that he approached the Shinigami, hell, she was standing in Soul Society herself, but the fact that he had not even told her. Like it was some secret plot. That bothered her the most.

As for Sui Feng... of course she would be busy. Attempting to sway more back to the Soul Society, perhaps. Or maybe it was just an excuse. Either way, she shrugged it off as nothing more than Sui Feng being Sui Feng. "Truth be told, I was not given much detail. Sui Feng showed up, invited me here, and left. Honestly, I fully expected to be leapt upon, and thrown in chains." She smirked. It was the truth, she thought it could be a trap, and was always on guard. So far, it seemed to be a legitimate meeting. "Though if I am to meet with Yamamoto, so be it." She gestured with a hand. "Lead on."
