The vice's office is a great contrast to the captain's with a cool color sceme. The walls are painted with a light shade of pastel blue with three navy blue chairs spread out around the room. Simple gray tiles cover the concrete floor with an indigo floor mat that reads "welcome" right infront of the door. In the center of the room is a natural kingwood desk with a black, reclinable computer chair. A pitch black bookshelf in the left corner of the room towers over everything else. It's filled with many famous novels, mostly fiction and fantasy.

Nakamura reclined back in his chair, releasing a great sigh. He had wanted to show the captain his Zanpakutō's released form, but he still hadn't heard back from him. What was that damn guy up to anyways? He couldn't be that busy, could he? He kicked his feet up unto his desk, settling in for the wait.
Maybe if the captain didn't show, he could just hit the bar and celebrate or something. Yeah, that wasn't too bad of an idea.

Ritsu burst through his vice's door without even bothering to knock first. "Well, I'm back." He said with a huged grin spread across his face. Medical wrap was tightly wound around his left arm, but everything else about him seemed exactly the same. "Since it's been a bit slow, Naka, I decided that I should focus on training you until I get more squad members. That okay with you?" He didn't really need an answer since he was sure Naka would enjoy that. "But, before we get down to training, we should relax for a day or so, or at least wait until my arm heals up completely."

"What happened with that, by the way?" he asked curiously, temporarily forgetting his previous train of thought as his attention was drawn to Ritsu's arm. "You out pickin' fights or something?" joked the lieutenant, eying the bandages suspiciously.

"Um, heh. Nooo..." Ritsu turned away as he realized how terrible that sounded. It was obvious that he was lieing. He rubbed the bandages nervously as he made sure to avoid eye contact, as if there were still a way to cover up the lie. "I deserve worse than this cut for attacking a fellow captain....." He muttered in a barely audible voice. He quickly covered his mouth with his hand as he realized that he said that outloud.

Although the words had been spoken quietly, they had failed to evade the shinigami's ears.
"Woah! So you duked it out with another captain?" he asked eagerly, eyes alight, seeming quite oblivious to the captain's mood. "What happened?"

Every word about the incident felt like a seering hot blade cutting deep into his skin. He refused to let that pain show though, not wanting to worry his vice. He stood there, unresponsive for a long while, thinking silently to himself. If he said nothing happened, that would probably make him even more interested, but he couldn't lie either. Finally, he decided to tell him the truth. "...What you may not know is that I'm probably even weaker than you. I have the capability of a third or even a fourth seat. Because of that, you might be wondering why I'm Captain, right?" Ritsu stopped himself to take a breath and collect his thoughts. "My zanpaku-to...is much more powerful than I am. And, it even takes over sometimes. I lost control of it, it used me to attack anything it could....It's bloodlust was...impossibly strong, I couldn't fight it. So, I ended up getting injured when the other captain was protecting themselves." The whole time, Ritsu's bright yellow eyes stared at the ground, not once looking up.

Nakamura listened patiently through the story, before collapsing back in his chair, releasing a huge breath of air.. "Tchaaa! What's with Zanpakutō these days?” he complained, “Jeez. Pain in the a**, that's what it is. Not much you can do about it though, is there?” he halted suddenly in his speech, reconsidering his own words. If there wasn’t anything Ritsu could do about it, then… He stood up abruptly, knocking over various items on his desk in the process. “Therefore, it really isn’t your fault,” he concluded, seeming quite proud at this solution. “So don’t go beating yourself up over it, okay? Or else…”At that moment Nakamura drew his face into a rather frightening glare, but it only lasted a few seconds, as he burst into laughter.
“Anyways, it’s no good standing around here with that kind of expression,” he continued, with a pointed look in the captain’s direction. “Now is the time for celebration! Remember, you did teach me Shikai today after all.” Enjoying the sound hearing of his achievement out loud, he suddenly shouted “Shikai!” and pumped his fist into the air. “Hey! We should head out and celebrate!” he proposed, clamping Ritsu by the wrist and dragging him towards the door.
In truth, Nakamura was worried about his captain, however, he found it better to pretend otherwise.. He was never that good at consoling people in situations like this, so the most he could do was distract them from the issue. Maybe it wasn’t the most conventional method, but…

Despite his ever so gloomy mood, he couldn't help but chuckle lightly as Naka complained. There was nothing wrong with his Zanpakutō, it was the fact that he was actually trying to speak to the sword. What sane person tries to talk to an object? His thoughts were suddenly interupted by the sound of stuff clattering on the ground, causing him to flinch. As he finally lifted his head to look at Naka, his yellow eyes flickered black for a moment. It happened so fast, if you blinked, you would've missed it.
A small grin spread across his face at Naka's excitement. Was achieving Shikai that fulfilling? It had been a while since the day he learned Shikai, so his memory was kind of fuzzy. That was probably the first day that his Zanpakutō had ever possessed him..."AAH! Wha?" The moment Naka grabbed him by the wrist, he began trying to force his way out of hs grip. Physical contact was definately one of Ritsu's most dreaded things. As soon as they reached the door, he grabbed the door frame with his free hand, holding on like his life depended on it.

The lieutenant would not be deterred by this minor obstructions; he merely pulled harder on Ritus's arm, trying to dislodge him from the door frame. "Come on!" he urged, "Don't be a killjoy! It's only a bar. It won't kill you to relax for a bit. Well, I guess if there was an ambush it might. But that's unlikely.... Anyways—" he put his foot against the frame for leverage, and gave Ritsu's arm a rather violent tug. He was being surprisingly persistent about this...

Ritsu dug his nails into the wood, making large marks that he would have to fix someday, but it was better than being dragged out the door. He winced as Naka began to pull harder, ranting on about an ambush or something? He really wasn't paying attention. His entire focus was on keeping his grip and not letting go. But, his struggle proved useless when Naka put his foot on the frame and pulled. Ritsu instantly let go, knowing if he tried to fight against that, his arm would probably be pulled out of it's socket. He fell flat on his face next to Naka before jumping to his feet and brushing himself off. "FINE! I'll go to the bar!" He grumbled and started walking off on his own, rubbing his sore arm.
[post after this as Naka leaving too and we'll start the time skip a bit late...]

The shinigami let out a loud cheer, and quickly exited after the captain, keeping up an excited chatter the entire way.
