Tenjinsai strode forward through the hall, his eyes darkened with a serious look as he approached his zanpaktou spirit. "No need to look so sullen Tenjinsai. I look forward to these meetings we have, I certainly hope that you do as well." The young shinigami stopped several meters from the large throne that sat front and center at the end of the hall. His gaze slowly traced upwards and met with the eyes of Seijin, his demeanor not particularly changing. "It has nothing to do with looking for to it or not. I am here because it is a serious matter that needs to be addressed." He paused, his eyes softening for a moment as he thought about what had actually concerned, a twinge of worry streaking through his mind. "Something happened during the battle with my father. My powers apparently, went out of control. That is the best they could make out of it from what I was told."

His arms that had once hung at his side raised up, his left held close to his abdomen and his right extended outward in a tightened fist. "I could have destroyed the Seireitei, Seijin!! What is the meaning of this!!" His body surged with a sudden electrical current as Tenjinsai's anger rose, his body practically shaking as he attempted to maintain some form of composure. He did not want to be angry with his zanpaktou, but this was serious, and he felt very strongly about it. For him to lose control of his own power and have had the potential to destroy everything, it was nothing to take lightly. As he stood, eyes wide and pupils narrow, Seijin slowly stood up and sighed lightly. The giant form of his zanpaktou spirit began to shrink down with every step he took until he stood before Tenjinsai, still standing a foot taller then him.

Seijin's arms extended forward, grabbing hold of the shinigami's shoulders tightly, and dragging him in close. Tenjinsai became very relaxed, very quickly after the fairly unusual and awkward interaction he had just been involved in. "Tenjinsai you have to relax, now is not the time for anger. All will be revealed, but first we must drink and celebrate!" Seijin's form increase slightly in size, now reaching just over seven feet and now towering over Tenjinsai. The young shinigami looked up to meet his gaze, as he felt two firm hands move down to his hips and then lift him up into the air. His perspective quickly began to change as he now found himself slumped over Seijin's right shoulder; some distance farther from the ground then he was used to. "Now let us go take a load off. You have been so tense recently with everything happening. It isn't good for your health."

Seijin then began to march off toward the back of the manor into a room shrouded with curtains. "Umm, I can walk on my own Seijin. I am no longer a child, so you can put me down. This is...slightly awkward." As if to answer his pleas, Tenjinsai found himself dropped down onto the floor; though the fall was much softer then would have been expected. Taking in his surroundings, he found himself to have fallen on a pile of pillows, a psuedo chair as it was. The room itself was somewhat small, with many more pillows strewn about and a low table sat in the midst of them. There was another light thud as Seijin plopped himself down next to Tenjinsai, the pillows absorbing most of the force but a light tremor could still be felt from the spirits large form. Even while laying down, Seijin's arms could still reach out to the table in front of them and grab hold of one of the various bottles that sat on it and two small saucers.

Pouring out the clear liquid into one of the small objects, he then offered it to Tenjinsai. "Here, have a drink. It will help to ease some of that mental tension." The young shinigami was dumbfounded about what was unfolding before him. He of course knew that his zanpaktou was attached to him, protective, and of course loyal. But this, this was a little bit beyond what he was used to from their interactions. Tenjinsai shook his head for a moment, clearing his thoughts and placed his hands out in front of him, his index finger extended in each one. "wait, wait, wait just a moment here. What...what is even happening right now." Seijin pulled the small saucer back slightly as he leaned on his elbow, slightly confused at his masters response. "I am just trying to help you relax Tenjinsai. My first priority is to of course support you in any way that I am able to. You are so tight right now that if you move the wrong way you would just snap in half."

Tenjinsai stood up quickly, his left hand placing itself on his hip and the right continuing to gesture as he spoke, his index finger prominently displayed. "No, this is....this is not why I came here! I need answers Seijin, I need you to take this seriously! This is not something that I can joke around with, people could have lost their lives!!" Tenjinsai's eyes widened as he spoke, his voice slowly rising bordering on that of yelling as his previous emotions surfaced again. He had been worried this whole time about what had happened. It was only due to the fact he was stumbling through the events of the day that he could suppress those feelings until now. When he was finally face to face with the person that could give him these answers, and being met with schmoozing and a lack of concern, it did not sit right in his conscience.

He continued to glare down at the spirit of his zanpaktou, who returned a look of disappointment coupled with a deep frown. "Tenjinsai, you have to breath and relax every once in a while. I have seen all that you have seen, your mind is muddled and stressed. The battle is won, you can take a breath and see what comes next. But before you can do any of that, you must take care of yourself first." Seijin extended his right arm forward, offering the small saucer of liquid to the young shinigami again. "Now sit down and have a drink with me." Tenjinsai stared questionably for a moment before taking hold of the small saucer and downing the liquid inside of it. He had not even thought to ask what was in it, though he assumed some type of alcohol. What he tasted immediately registered as Sake, and quite a strong brew of it as well.

His eyes went wide for a moment as his body acclimated to the warmth that vibrated through it. Taking a shallow breath, he sat back down next to Seijin and extended the cup out for another helping. "I must apologize Seijin, I know you mean well. You have never steered me wrong before and I should have more faith in you." The spirit happily poured him another cup of the clear liquid and then poured one for himself in another small saucer. "It is quite alright Tenjinsai, it is just your stress getting to you. I know there is a lot you wish to address but first you must get your mind in order. What better way to do that then relaxing and having a drink with a friend." Tenjinsai downed his second helping of sake and paused for a moment, thinking about what Seijin had said. It was strange, but he had never actually thought of Seijin as a friend.

That was not to say they were not close, that much was unavoidable given the situation. He had just never used that word to describe their relationship. Seijin was his partner, the other half of his being and power, but Tenjinsai had never thought of just, having a conversation and relaxing with him. It was somewhat refreshing, but at the same time carried a connotation of introvertion to him. He was essentially escaping into his own mind, something that was not always a healthy practice. For this visit, it was of course necessary for him to do so. In the future though, would it really be alright for him to just recede into his own mind for relaxation. It would have to be something for him to decide on his own, when it was or was not appropriate. For now though, he would enjoy his first opportunity to relax in quite some time, letting the warmth of the liquor flow through him.

"I suppose you are right Seijin, as always. Since our last conversation my life has been filled with non stop conflict that nearly killed me on several occasions. But still, it worries me..." Tenjinsai extended his arm out once more, accepting his third helping of the alcohol. Once filled, he moved the small saucer to his lips and drank, then placed it down at his side; abstaining from any further drink. Seijin continued to drink, listening and observing Tenjinsai as he spoke further. "I know I am supposed to ease my mind, but I can not when what happened is plaguing my thoughts. It would certainly bring me peace if you could tell me what you know Seijin." After swallowing down another cup of sake, Seijin placed his saucer and the bottle back on the table and slumped backwards, laying on the pillows. His head turned to the right, gazing at Tenjinsai whilst imparting wisdom unto him.

"You have just recently learned the secrets of Bankai. Tenjinsai, is it truly startling that you have not mastered it and learned its secrets in and out?" The spirit slowly pulled himself upward, his right arm extending outward and landing atop the young shinigami's head, ruffling his hair. "You have a great wealth of power inside of you, but you need to further cultivate it. It is exactly because of the fact that you have amassed such enormous power in a short time that you do not know how to properly wield it. You are still young Tenjinsai, a fledgling shinigami that has been gifted with incredulous potential." Seijin removed his hand from his masters head, reaching out for the bottle of liquor once more while smiling warmly. He held the bottle up, gesturing to Tenjinsai to offer him another drink. Tenjinsai sighed lightly and then shrugged, picking up his cup and reaching outward for it to be filled.

Once filled, the young shinigami went to drink it but was stopped prematurely by Seijin. "One moment." The spirit filled up his own cup shortly after, placed the bottle back on the table, and then extended his cup out toward Tenjinsai. "I suggest a toast to the future. The future that you have created for yourself, and the Soul Society. I am more proud of you then you can ever imagine Tenjinsai. I know there is much more to come in the future for you and am simply happy to be able to assist you on the way." Tenjinsai held his own cup up, and tapped it lightly against Seijin's cup. "To the future." The pair then downed the sake and released exasperated breaths after finishing the drink. He then placed his saucer back down at his side before collapsing on the pile of pillows himself. "I only now think about how little we have actually known one another for.

Though I realize you have always been there, we had not spoken until recently. Despite that, you have supported me at every turn and given me your all when I needed it. I am truly fortunate to have been granted a companion such as you."
Seijin smiled lightly followed by quickly downing another small cup of sake. Reaching out with one of his arms, it rested lightly atop Tenjinsai's head, patting gently and ruffling his hair. "You need not thank me for that which is a pleasure to do. Watching over and assisting you brings meaning to my existence and fulfills my soul down to its core." Tenjinsai returned a light smile and reached up, grabbing hold of Seijin's hand. Pulling it down from his scalp, he squeezed it lightly before releasing it. The important question of the hour was back at hand; now he needed an answer. "Seijin, though I know you enjoy our time together, I do not have much to spare. I need your assistance with this troubling matter, will you answer my question now?"

Silence loomed over the room as Seijin pulled his arm back, his head dropping slightly as he looked down toward the ground. "It is, hard to truly answer the question in a way that will reveal all you desire to know." There was a brief pause, the spirits head picking up as his eyes crossed with Tenjinsai's. "More appropriately, there is no way to truly answer the question in the way you want." Tenjinsai was slightly drawn back by the answer he had received. In essence, he was told by his very own zanpaktou that he could not explain the entirety of his own powers. It was, confusing and difficult for him to wrap his head around the concept. He needed answers, and the one person who he had hoped would have the answers, did not. "Surely there must be something you can divulge about them. You are the manifestation of my powers, you have to know something." Moments passed in silence yet again before Seijin slowly stood up, his arms folded together over his chest.

He paced back and forth, trying to think of a way to say what he knew that would satisfy Tenjinsai's need for knowledge. There was no way to truly accomplish such a task though, so the information at hand would need to suffice. After all, one could only truly say what they knew. "The reason it is hard for me to divulge the information of that technique is because I myself do not entirely understand it either. This ability, it merges us together on a level beyond what we currently are. While we are indeed two sides of the same coin, this is in essence like melding those two sides together." Seijin stopped pacing, his arms unfolding as his left arm got tucked into his side and his right arm propped upon it. His right hand moving to form a fist that covered his mouth as he thought. "It..." He paused again, searching for clarity somewhere amidst the muck of thoughts swirling within his mind.

"It can best be described as us merging truly into one being and bringing your powers into a closer harmony. But within that, neither one of us truly remains as an individual. We become, something else, something more. That is why it is hard to truly say what it is or how to harness it. When we are merged like that, I am not truly me." Tenjinsai crossed his arms over his chest, his brow lowering as he was lost in confusion and thought. If Seijin could not truly help him understand what this power was; how was he to master it and prevent the danger it posed from reaching the world again. "I know this was not the answer you wanted to needed, but its the only one I can offer you." Tenjinsai nodded lightly, his eyes tracing along the ground as his mind raced through thoughts, the statement barely registering. The weight that he had felt in his chest when he had come here had gotten heavier. The anxiety swelled through his body as reality set in around him.

"This, power, it may very well destroy the entire world one day if I cannot get a handle on it. I will need your help in this task Seijin as I am more then aware that I alone cannot mount such a hurdle. This is a test we must pass, or fail, together." Seijin nodded confidently and clenched his fists as his eyes met with Tenjinsai. "Fear not Tenjinsai, I know that such a future will not come to pass. This power is yours, and you will master it as you have done the rest. I will assist you as well with every fiber of my being as is my duty to you. Rest easy in knowing that this is well in hand despite the uncertainly it may seem to present." Tenjinsai smiled lightly for a moment, taking in a deep breath and then exhaling. "Fretting over it will not help either of us I suppose. The best thing I can do now is simply keep it in mind as I conduct the rest of my affairs. There is a great deal for me to do still and I cannot spend every waking moment worrying about something that is not in my realm of control."

The young shinigami then turned, slowly making his way towards the entrance of the hall where he would make his exit back to reality. "Take care Tenjinsai and remember, I am always with you." Tenjinsai continued to walk toward the entrance, only stopping when he had arrived, the world around him starting to fade as he returned to the physical realm. "Rest assured my friend, I will never forget that sentiment again as long as I live." The last sight that he saw was the warm smile of his zanpaktou's spirit before everything around him turned to a stark white. Moments passed by in the void that now surrounded him before everything went dark. He had returned to reality, sitting in his office as his eyes shot open and reacquainted themselves with the surroundings.

Tenjinsai sat in silence, mulling over the information that had been given to him. Though he had resolved to keep it in mind but not let it envelop his psyche, it was hard to actually accomplish such a task. His power had gone out of control and had nearly destroyed his friends and family. This was of course not to mention he could have destroyed the entire Soul Society on top of that. It was too much to simply dismiss easily into the back of his mind for later appraisal. This would be something he would need to contend with for quite some time. For the time being though, hopefully his duties would keep thoughts from lingering for too long.

It had been more then the time he had allotted to himself to perform his Jinzen. There was a meeting he had to attend, the future of the Soul Society had to be established and he was now at its center. Now was the time to usher in a new age, to bring about peace and tranquility for the citizens that had lived in chaos and terrors for far too long. Standing up slowly, the young shinigami straightened out his robes and haori, wanting to at least look respectable to his peers. While he was now the Captain Commander, he was still the junior of many of his subordinates.

There would be an age gap that would be hard to overcome, without support at least. There were at the very least powerful players in his corner now. Hopefully that would be enough to settle any differences or lingering ambition that could potentially get in the way. Now prepared, Tenjinsai confidently exited from his office, preparing to gather Nanaomi and Mikoto for the impending meeting. It was time for the show to begin.
