I'm starting to think I should keep extra clothes around in different sizes, just in case. This is getting annoying.

[Bit of a pause, then the following is added]

Rain-san, are you free?

I am.

Can you come over?

[Pause]

And bring a big kimono or something? I can pay you back, I just don't want to go out looking like this.

[read: looking half-naked because he now has BUFF SHOULDERS]

Very well. I'll be there soon.

How big?

A little taller than you. Broader in the shoulders though.

Thank you.

[Well, now Rain was a little intrigued. From the sound of his journal entry, it seemed safe to assume that Daitou was in another body... and since the man wanted him to come over, that might mean it was a familiar body. He'd find out soon enough.]

[Thankful that he'd finally recovered from whatever that illness had been and no longer needed to worry about possibly passing it on, Rain detoured to the Bazaar first and purchased a deep blue kimono that would have been a couple sizes too big for him. He then made his way to Daitou's home and knocked on the door.]

[Daitou opened the door with a somewhat embarrassed smile on his face. He was wearing a towel by way of lower body covering, and his haori jacket on top - he'd been afraid he was going to rip the shoulder seams on his own kimono when he tried it on. Being bigger seemed more difficult than being smaller.]

Rain-san. Come in.

[And the awkward, slightly shaken smile is still there because god does he sound different - and he sounds like the voice in his dream. The one telling him not to give up.]

[The door opened, and Rain found himself looking up... at the vice commander. For the first few moments, all he could do was stare, his eyes wide. This was immediately followed by the strong desire to kneel before the man and bow his head, as he had in his memory. But that smile looked so out-of-place on that face, and the lack of proper clothing... he realized that this was, in fact, Daitou.]

[Rain still bowed, then handed him the kimono as he stepped inside, finally finding his voice.] I see why you asked me to come.

[Well. That look told Daitou that yes, Rain did have an answer to the question. He took the kimono with a small bow of thanks, and, having closed the door, turned to face away from Rain and begin changing]

I woke up like this, this morning. It's strange, having someone else's body.

[Rain averted his gaze politely as the other man changed.]

It is. [He knew perfectly well how strange it could be - he'd had his sister's body some time ago, after all. At least Daitou's transformation didn't seem to be as... upsetting as that had been. But then, it was quite possible that Daitou had no idea just whose body this was.]

...You find it familiar though, correct?

[Daitou nodded as he fumbled with his obi knot - that at least still fit, even if larger fingers was making it difficult. There's a note of false calm in his voice when he speaks]

The face looks familiar, though I can't place it. I heard this voice in my dream, though.
