retsu-unohana:

“Allow me to repeat myself,” she replied calmly, smiling across her desk towards the utter mess of a man. “Inoue Orihime-san conveyed her romantic feelings to Kurosaki Ichigo-san, which got him confused to the point where he sought out aid and advice for how to at least begin to respond to the situation.”

To his latter comment, the healer’s brow twitched, lips pursing at his crude manner of speaking. “Surely only he knows the reason for it, but perhaps you simply weren’t around at the time? In any case, there’s no sense in getting so wound up about it— nor taking out your anger on me, Kurosaki-san.”

“I..I see.” Well, this was good, he thought. He was happy that Orihime had expressed her feelings for Ichigo..but his boy was an idiot. Of course he wouldn’t know how to act. Isshin twitched uncomfortably. “Yes, I suppose it is natural of him to do that..”

Isshin sat down and calmed himself down. “Yes, yes, it is true that I am away a lot..but if he wanted my advice he would have sought me out. Not that I would expect him to want my advice..well, anyways. I apologize, Unohana-taichou, I’m not angry. I just worry about m’boy, and I wish he would let me help him out a little more..I just wish he would let me have a bigger place in his life.” Isshin stood up and slightly bowed. “I apologize for any discourtesy, surely it was not intended.” He sat back down and sipped his tea.

“Unohana..thank you for caring for m’boy. But he better not hear any of this, ya hear? If I hear word he heard any of that sappy shit I just let out, it’ll be you I’m coming after next.” Isshin laughed and drank some more tea. “This is some very good tea, taichou. Thank you.”
