Ryuken
"Don't do this."
Ryuken didn't look up. Not even his expression changed.
Mayumi paced along the window-sill behind him, feathers ruffled in agitation.
"He's your son, Ryuken!"
"This is what he wants." The doctor still refused to look up from his paperwork. He knew exactly what was happening in Uryu's room; the thumping and scraping of moving furniture as the boy packed his bags was exceptionally loud in their small apartment.
"He's just a child! Mitzi isn't even settled!"
"She will soon."
The large eagle stopped and glared at her human's back.
"The only reason he wants to do this is because he thinks you don't care. Talk to him, for once. Tell him why he shouldn't be a Quincy. He might understand…he's seen what can happen, after all."
No response.
"Dammit, Ryuken! I know you don't want this to happen; I'm your soul!"
"That doesn't mean I have to listen to you."
She jerked back as if she'd been slapped and, for just a moment, it looked like she was going to physically attack him.
It was months before they spoke to each other again.
