Canaan hummed in agreement to his acknowledgement that the messengers really needed to be have their heads taken out of the clouds.She briefly let his question hang in the air, remembering the time when Kakashei was nothing more than a sniveling recruit, fresh out of the academy. She nodded nonetheless when he told her that he has been well but drowned in paper work, as have most Captains, not that she cared, she was probably one of the few who enjoyed it.

"That is good to know and to hear. I have been pretty well, it was somewhat annoying that the Espada decided to invade whilst I was away. From what I hear there Queen is dead, along with are previous head Captain, not to mention losing the previous Captain of Squad 13. Not really what I would call a flawless victory." She was equally annoyed that she had missed the battle, but as it were, she had other things to be doing and unfortunately they were priority. She got up from her chair and began to walk around his office, clearly bored.

"It baffles me somewhat though, it is clear that the Espada, for now anyway will be leaderless, if anything a gap in power has been created and many will move to fill it. I do not see why we do not simply advance to their territory and wipe the floor with them."

She pivoted and faced Kakashei, then sighed, scratching her forehead. She had not come here to ramble on what she believed should be done, if anything she wanted to relax and maybe spar with an old time friend.

"Perhaps we could Spar Kakashei? I want to see if you have gotten any better, plus there is not much else to do other than ramble and discuss what should and should not happen."

With that she pivoted on her heel and made a beeline for the courtyard of the barracks, it was a large open space and more than suitable for an easy, relaxing spar. She felt no need to go out and get all serious on Kakashei. She did not bother to look behind her to know Kakashei was their.

"I hear you had a rather nasty encounter with an human while you were in the human world, do you wish to tell me about it? Reports say, it was a regular human, that does not sound right." She drew her zanpakuto as they entered the courtyard.

Canaan let a small smile grace her face when Kakashei beckoned her to come at him. It never surprised her, she knew while Kakashei was by no means the strongest Captain, but regardless of that fact he never seemed to back down from a threat nor challenged, something Canaan liked to see. Still, it was not in Canaan to go all out on him in a spar, that would be pointless and serve no purpose at all. If anything, she was planning to take it easier, get into the sparing mood, then perhaps she would turn things up a notch. Keep Kakashei on his toes.

She rushed Kakashei, not bothering to use Shunpo to close the distance, there was no point for it. When she reached striking distance, she swung her sword in an sidewards slash, aiming for the Captains vulnerable sides. She did not attack with full speed nor force, instead matching what she assumed to be his level. She always enjoyed sparing with other Captains, it thrilled her even more than some fights she had had in the human world, especially when it happened to be a Captain of her own level. When her sword clashed against his own she smiled and span on her right heel, using the momentum to swing herself in the opposite direction, pushing her blade of his own. She intended to attack his other side, wanting to see just how quick Kakashei could move under pressure. For that very reason, she increased her speed a little, wanting to see if she could catch the Captain off guard so easily. She doubted that she would have been able to, if anything, she assumed Kakashei would shunpo away from any immediate danger.

Regardless, Canaan intended to hold his blade in lock with her own if he managed to block her second attack, if Kakashei had managed to shunpo away, she would merely turn to face his him. She wanted to discuss something with him while they sparred. Again, for the sole purpose of testing his focus, if he could maintain an conversation whilst fending off her attacks, she would be impressed.

"Not bad Kakashei. I wonder, did you know the original Captain of Squad 13? I can not seem to remember his name."

She played dumb of course, she had know Lucien. She had detested the man, he was nothing more than an arrogant brat and she figured he bit of more than he could chew with an Espada and died for it. For that, she held no sympathy, arrogance got you killed, no matter how powerful you happened to be. While thinking this, she had already launched herself back at Kakashei, changing her method of attack. She no longer aimed for his sides, if anything she made for a full frontal assault. When she was within striking distance, she unleashed a barrage of five strikes. They were simple and lacked any real precision, in fact, the way she was currently swinging reminded her of how Lucien had done so with that ridiculous Nodachi. With that last strike, she would again attempt to lock blades with him and test his stance and strength. She would gradually push against his blade, forcing him to move back. She also decided to distract him with conversation seeing as at this time, focus was key.

"You were not friends with him, were you? Perhaps if you were on the front lines you may have been able to knock some sense into that over sized head of his."

While it sounded as though she was mocking the now deceased Captain, she was not. She had rarely seen Kakashei, so much so that she had no idea who he considered as his friends, not that it really mattered.
