[Even after all these years, Jyuushiko rarely tires of the crowd of family that constantly haunts Ugendo. She's actually been even more grateful than usual for the presence, right now - the children are a welcome distraction from ruminating over everything she has had to put aside for the moment, for the duties she is neglecting in Seireitei.

Not that she had much choice - 'indefinite medical leave', and Retsu had that look in her eyes that said she was perfectly willing to do things by force, if necessary. Here at least, she could do some things - watch the children, help advice her brothers, assist the cooks with dinner preparations. Nothing too taxing, but it was enough. Even if she did miss the company of her friends in Seireitei - there were visits now and then, but there was work to be done there, too.]

[Now that things were starting to settle down, Retsu has a bit more time to relax. Most of her calls to Jyuushiko lately have been professional check-ups, but this time, it's a social call. Tanabata is coming up now, and she thought Jyuushiko could use the distraction, so she was coming to help pick out a kimono for the party.

One of Jyuushiko's many relatives--a cousin of some kind--met Retsu at the gate and took her inside. She rapped lightly on the doorframe to announce herself.]

Jyuushiko-san?
