[sakurabito]

Hitsugaya-taichou.

[A brief pause.]

Have you found employment?

[frostedheavens]

Not yet. [He hasn't really had a chance to look yet, though. Not with all that happened--] Why do you ask?

[sakurabito]

[Perfect.]

I have a job for you.

[Not that he intends to give much choice.]

Have you met the menace formally, yet?

[frostedheavens]

[He was about to ask what kind of job, but...]

The what?

[No seriously. The what?]

[sakurabito]

Menace.

[Don't make him repeat himself.]

It is the avian creature that will occasionally stalk the halls of the hotel.

[Or accost you, if you have food.]

[frostedheavens]

[He heard the name he was asking for a description--oh wait. Avian creature...is that?]

The duck? [A momentary pause, then:] What did it ever do to deserve that title?

[Seriously. Ducks aren't that bad. They're not Hollows or Yachiru!]

[sakurabito]

He is an unpleasant bird.

[He could name off the things the thing has done, but that's counterproductive.]

Though he should not give you too much trouble. He is being trained well.

[frostedheavens]

[There's silence on the other end of the line for a long moment, which is really just Hitsu putting the pieces together. Does this mean what he thinks it means?]

That's your job? You want me to watch the duck?

[Dude really? He knows Byakuya's not the joking type, but come on!]

[sakurabito]

I do not have the time to see to his constant needs and he will not stay locked up.

[Nope. Not a joke. His menace is important.]

It is only during the day and I reward fairly for good work.
