[Ukitake is waiting on the porch outside the 13th division headquarters, pack on the ground beside him, and, typically cup of tea in hand. There's an extra cup and a small pot on the other side of him, waiting for his companion. He's his usual calm, cheerful self, although he's not wearing his captain's haori at the moment, and this morning is hair is pulled back into a ponytail.]

"More just stubborn in my case, I think," Ukitake replied with a smile. "Unohana-san is a few years older than Kyouraku and me, though."

"Now now, one should not reveal a ladie's age," he wagged an admonishing finger at Ukitake.

Ukitake raised an eyebrow, clearly amused. "Well, she's not here to chew me out for it - but I'll say no more!"

"And I thought our elders were suppose to have manners," he chuckled, tossing the fish onto a strip of dried leather on the bank.

Ukitake grinned in return. "No, we're old. We're allowed to be rude. One of the benefits of age and all."

"If you start waving a cane at me and telling me to get off your lawn I will forcibly cart you back to the compound," he teased, splashing water at the other with his foot.

He laughed, raising his hands to block the attack. "My health isn't quite that bad yet, thank you. Though if you trample my garden I /will/ show you why I'm still a captain." He reached down sweeping his arm to send q wave of water back in Kensei's direction as he spoke.

"Oooh, so threatening," he rolled his eyes and splashed back with a laugh.

Ukitake raised an eyebrow in amusement as he blocked the wave of water with his arm. "We can spar later, if you doubt me. Though we still haven't finished on dinner, yet."

"A spar would be good!" he brightened at that thought, and then grinned sheepishly, reminded that they needed a fire and something to fill their bellies.

"Right. Um, why don't you go get the fire built up and I'll see if I can't find some wild veggies to go with the fish."

Ukitake grinned in return, pulling his feet out of the river and grabbing his sandals and tabi. "Sounds good - I'll try not to burn the forest down, and you can try not to poison us."

"Seems like a fair trade," he laughed, hopping out of the water and heading for the woods to search out said veggies.

While he was gone, Ukitake cleared space for a fire, and managed to get one going without too much trouble. Once that was done, he sat by it, letting his hakama dry while he waited for Kensei.

Kensei returned with a surprising amount of tid-bits for them to eat - berries, mushrooms, and a few wild grown herbs that they could add to the fish stew or whatever it was they planned to turn it into.

"Looks like this place is smiling on us," he laughed as he put down his catch.
