A/N: I was studying some of William Hogarth's caricatures on 18th-century opera goers and thought it'd be fun to do a set on the Gotei 13. The original meaning of "caricature" in art denotes to make a striking impression of a subject, not necessarily for comical exaggeration. Supplemented by an unhealthy dose of TV Tropes...this might get messy.
Prompt: faith
Komamura: Incorruptible Pure Pureness
Shunsui and Jyuushirou might be his sons (in a matter of speaking) and Unohana is better than any blood-tied daughter (the favorite). But Sajin is the one he likes best. Sajin is the one who understands him best.
Because Sajin – unlike the others (even his beloved Unohana) – takes the significance, the consequence, of loyalty to the bone. Not once does Sajin doubt him. Never hesitant or rebellious, Sajin upholds the laws with formidable pride. Fights for the weak, the underprivileged, the marginalized. He is capable of rationalizing the darker shaded nuances of justice and order as necessary albeit ugly components.
A noble man through and through (Kuchiki could do well to take some notes). He treats his subordinates with honor and compassion, is steadfast and courageous to the end of the end. And most importantly, as a man of few words, he never condones roundabout palaver.
Really, there is nothing even slightly admonishing Yamamoto could say.
– Maybe the man is too serious. On the off-occasion when Sajin does smile, his face pulls sideways-up into a rictus. He looks rather pained and scary.
His fur also smells bad when wet. Once, Matsumoto kindly (crazily) suggested that he mellow the odor with perfume. Which Sajin followed, being – well – Sajin. Only, the florally, pungent nausea made things worse. For weeks, he reeked of regurgitated roses doused in bloody innards.
But all that stands aside: Sajin is unparalleled as the picture of faith.
So, it is merely expected, obvious, that Yamamoto invites him over for tea. Shunsui will be jealous (prone to hubristic hurt).
"Captain-commander." Sajin bows low, head down and replete with respect.
Yamamoto smiles to himself. As always, his judgment is impeccable. "Sit, Captain Komamura."
Obedient, Sajin sits.
Good boy.
