Unohana had studied Isane since she has first joined her division. She did this for all new members of her division but something about Isane had caught her intention, this girl had so much potential to be whatever she wanted to be. Being the captain she had pulled Isane aside to give her work after a few days. The poor girl was sweating buckets and shaking, a shy girl.
"I was observing your work ethic," her grey eyes were fixed on the floor.
"You're not in any trouble, in fact I am quite impressed by your performance," her small hand rested under Isane's chin and lifted her head up.
"That's much better, keep your head up or you will walk into things," Isane offered a small smile.
"I would like to hear you speak, I know you can talk," her voice was soft and so gentle Isane could not refuse.
"I not much of a talker," Unohana had to strain her voice.
"Isane, you don't have whisper to me, raise your voice so I can hear you when you do speak," Unohana's soft hand skill stayed under her chin.
"Thank you captain Unohana," Isane attempted to bow her head but it was head still.
"You can go now, continue with your excellent work Isane," Isane smiled and left with a spring in her step.
"What do you think?" the vice-captain came out of his hiding place.
"Isane needs a confidence boast, people to guide her and encouragement. She will rise through the ranks with a little help and one day replaces me and maybe you in the future," he gave her a smile and she nodded in agreement.
"Keep an eye on her for me," he nodded before leaving to catch up with Isane.
