[Ukitake has practically become a fixture in the natural setting of Sector 4. Almost daily, he can be found near the waterfall or the koi pond in meditation, save when his health forces him to keep indoors. Today is a good day. He is breathing freely and feels strong. He has just finished a long meditation at the waterfall, and now is at the koi pond, watching the fish, though cold temperatures tend to mean sluggish carp. That doesn't at all detract from the beauty of their patterns, patterns the proper names of which Ukitake probably has rattling around in his head somewhere, but he's less concerned with what they're called than with the simple pleasure of watching the fish so marked.]
