Kaien barely had the chance to acknowledge the Miyabi's prescence as Ai took hold of his shoulder and gave it a good shake. His brow lowered this time, furrowing. It wasn't that the shake really bugged him or anything; what did get him was the fact he could feel it. He'd had a few realistic dreams in his time and all, but... maybe Miyako'd grabbed his shoulder to try and get him up on time or something weird like that...?

Shit. If that was the case, he sure as hell'd better find a way to wake up soon. Wouldn't want to be late. 'Specially with the captain under the weather again. Times like these, he needed Kaien more than ever.

The shinigami pulled himself from his train of thought at Ai spoke to him again, giving her a sort of lopsided smile in exchange for her own broad grin. "Not from there, no. But our duty's to Earth an' its souls, so most've us spend a lot of time over there." He paused, giving another slight nod as he watched Miyabi head off to who-knew-where in dreamland.

((Sorry that took me ages. D: *cries and headdesks*))
