Tousen and Komamura often drank tea and talked.
They talked about normal things; what had happened recently in their own divisions, goings on within Soul Society, and who was a new candidate for captaincy and vice-captaincy in a particular division, when a spot opened up. It was as close to companionable chatter as either of them ever came.
Komamura did not speak about his childhood or his time before becoming a shinigami.
Tousen did not speak about clouds, or stars, or quiet.
Komamura never mentioned his face.
Tousen never mentioned his eyes.
Tousen and Komamura often drank tea in silence.
