morning rituals

"OI!"

Yuzu winced and maybe smiled a little, popping the toast neatly onto the plates; one extra place set as per usual, and let out a kind of a muffled squeak when:

"OW, YOU BITCH."

Karin came into the kitchen next, looking as though she was nursing a chronic, chronic headache, and rather uncharacteristically jumped almost a foot off the ground when:

"OH JESUS CHRIST, THAT FUCKING HURT."

Her father slinked in afterwards, looking tired if thoroughly entertained. Sitting down to chomp exhaustedly at his toast, he only waggled his eyebrows as:

"RUKIA, I SWEAR TO GOD IF YOU-- mmph."

Yuzu laughed nervously.

"Mmph."

Karin rubbed at her temples.

"Mmm."

Isshin just leered.

To no one's surprise, Ichigo didn't come down for breakfast.
