Settling in

Yuki walked confidently into the shop even though, if she had been anyone lesser than her status, she wouldn't have been allowed inside as other divisions aren't permitted into division shops that aren't their own; she had no idea why, but that had always been the rule. On the shelves she could see brushes and ink and paper, as well as things which help in the preservation of documents, as the 6th was known to keep all of Seireitei's records.

"You can buy whatever you want in here - though some items can be quite expensive." Would she have any money with her? She looked as though she had only just arrived.

The store was rather quant in size but the shelves were stocked to the brim with items. Yuki spoke to her saying that the items here could be quite expensive. Luckily Lightning had accumulated a rather substantial amount of money over the years and had not the need to worry of prices. "Well then i am lucky i have plenty of money then aren't i" Lightning wasn't sure how much money a lieutenant recieves so she was thankful she had saved hers.

Lightning's attention was snatched away from the more mundane items of the store towards waht she figured was more of a gift area. Small figurines that seemed as if they had been hand painted and crafted were in abundance. Her eyes travelled back to the shelves that she would be purchasing from. She grabbed what she would need for her paperwork and turned to Yuki. "is there anything you need while we are here?"

Yuki stood near the door, silently observing as Lightning moved about the shop, looking at various things - both work related and not work related items being viewed. It was surprising to find out that the King's Realm had the same currency as Seireitei, though it shouldn't be that surprising when she thought about it. Luckily she would be able to pay for all the items she needed. Yuki looked up as Lightning drew her attention, thinking for a moment as she looked around the shop before shaking her head.

"No, I've got all the things I require at the moment."

Lightning approached the store's counter, "Hello love" the beaming smile that accompanied the elderly lady’s words could have illuminated even the darkest of corners. Judging by the reactions the store owner was having to her patronage she was beginning to think that there mustn’t have been much business to be had lately. Bowing gently to express her gratitude, she nodded before picking up the small, tightly wrapped package she had purchased. “Thank-you, stay safe now young lady” the woman replied from behind the stall as her patron began walking further down the market street in search of more supplies. In a place such as the seireitei Lightning was sire that the elderly woman had met her fair share of customers that never returned once again.....Death was after all a very real risk of being a soul reaper.

Lightning placed the small package into her bag that she kept strapped to her thigh and approached the exit. The old style wooden door creaked on its hinges as she forced it to open against its will.

The inside of the store was quite stuffy, the lingering dust on the shelves serving to raise the temperature inside the humid area, and to clog noses and throats. After enduring all she could of the terrible store - the 10th division's store was in so much better condition, probably because she was in charge - and so, without making a sound, she slipped from the store, though the heavy door did make a slight squeak as she slipped it open slightly.

As she stood in the cool, damp air she thought for a moment while waiting for Lightning still in the store, her eyebrows pulling down into a frown. What did it mean for the Royal Guard to be in Seireitei? Lightning had avoided her question when she had asked - as she had expected - but that didn't help to alleviate her curiosity in the least.

With a sigh she felt the first trickle of rain falling from the heavens, signalling the start of more rain, though it was only a light drizzle. Looking up as Lightning exited the store, she eased herself off the wall which she had been leaning against.

"Do you have everything you need - or do you need to go to another store?"

As Lightning exited the store she immediately felt the light drizzle of rain upon her head. hmmm so i see the rain isn't over after all Lightning turned her head towards the captain standing next to her as she listened to her question. "no, this is sufficient" Lightning had purchased what she would need to complete the large and rather intimidating pile of paperwork that sat on her desk. Once again she felt her mind silently cursing the idiot that must have been the former Lieutenant. Just what did they spend their time on? definately not the apperwork they should have been working on. "Is there somewhere you need to go or something you wish to do?" Lightning asked Yuki as she flicked back a strand of her hair that had fallen in light blue eyes.
