"Yeah, luckily," Renji said. "Luck always runs out eventually. Though I hope yours sticks around for a long time. 'Course, it also helps your luck if you're smart about where you go and cautious about what you fight." He grinned. He was neither of those things, but at least it was on purpose. "But I was seriously sword work. Even if I no longer have my... real sword, I'm still handy with a blade. So if you ever want to, I don't know, practice or something, sure."
It still felt strange to talk about things so openly, but he'd made that decision what felt like a long time ago, that it was worth risking punishment because it was important that people here knew the score. Though he'd had a hope that maybe it would work out without being a criminal enterprise anyway, when Hitsugaya and Byakuya had been around, but...
It didn't really matter any more. Survival had to be the first concern. Worrying about the future just seemed like an unnecessary distraction a lot of the time.
"So we've covered the important facts about Renji," he said, grin going a little evil. "Since we've already figured out you're not a choir boy, what is it that Tolten does in... Plank."
