Kenpachi Zaraki: Support A
Avatar (smiles): Good evening, Kenpachi.
Kenpachi: Hey there, Avatar, didn't expect to see you at the Squad 11 Barracks of all places. And…is that sake I see in your hands?
Avatar: Yes, it's a little something I got from Captain Kyōraku's stash. I figured I'd get you something as thanks for the things you said to me yesterday.
Kenpachi: Umm…you know I didn't…bah, never mind, I'm not really one to turn down free sake.
Avatar: Wonderful! Hey, where's Yachiru? She's usually with you.
Kenpachi: Oh, she's playing with Ikkaku and Yumichika. Good thing too, times like this are usually me time, actually.
Avatar: Oh, I see…
Kenpachi: But hey, who am I to refuse good booze huh? Especially if it's from Kyōraku. He's got the best booze in the Seireitei.
Avatar: Alright, have a cup then?
Kenpachi: Bah, I prefer to drink straight from the bottle. You have the cup. Join me in fact.
Avatar: Certainly, I'm not intruding, am I?
Kenpachi: Nah, usually at times like these I just kinda unwind. After spending a whole day whipping my men into shape, I just like to kick back and enjoy something that's in my top five favorite things, relaxing…ah, that is some damn good booze.
Avatar: What about paperwork?
Kenpachi: What about it? Play should always come before work. You're just as guilty you know. Don't you have "guardian priestess" duties to attend to.
Avatar: Heh, I guess I'm starting to appreciate the idea of putting play before work myself, honestly.
Kenpachi: Oh yeah?
Avatar: Yeah, after that conversation we had yesterday, I've honestly felt so much more calm and relaxed about my duties as the priestess. You did a lot for me yesterday, Kenpachi, and I'm truly grateful for that.
Kenpachi: Well, I wasn't exactly trying to help you, I just hated the way you were talking before.
Avatar: Honestly, so was I. But now, I have no regrets about what I must do for the Soul Society's sake. I will fight, and I will save it and everyone in it.
Kenpachi: At least you get it now. This world has no place for idealists who aren't even willing to fight for those ideals. That makes them fakes, like that Tōsen.
Avatar: And I realize that now. So even if you didn't mean to help me, thank you all the same, Kenpachi.
Kenpachi: …che…
Avatar: So…after we finish that bottle, what do you say to a quick round, huh?
Kenpachi: Are you challenging me to another fight?
Avatar: What can I say, I seek battle so that I can be strong enough to protect this world.
Kenpachi (smiles): You better be ready, this booze won't exactly bring my skills down.
Avatar: I wouldn't have it any other way.
Avatar and Kenpachi have achieved Support A
A.N: I liked this conversation, actually, it gave me the chance to highlight Kenpachi as a character outside of fights. To me, Kenpachi, along with Gin Ichimaru and Sosuke Aizen, were arguably Kubo's greatest accomplishments in Bleach. Three fantastic well-rounded characters. Next time, Support S!
