Rukia was certainly amused by the child. 'Fight the spoooky monsters' sounded like something she would have said when she was a kid. She grinned at Renji, not bothered by his attempts to pawn the kid off on her, but elbowed him gently in the ribs all the same. While she wasn't a huge fan of kids, she certainly liked drawing. And children were so appreciative of good art!

While Renji explained things to the kid, though, Rukia thought back to something Keman had said that didn't quite make sense. "Keman," she said, her expression serious, "What did you mean when you said that Valyn gave you his magic?"
