You aren't wrong. Most others would be already winding down for the evening.
[Around about now, is one of those brief periods during shift change-overs when the barracks would be particularly buzzing with some people coming, going or trying to get settled for the evening. The mess hall would likely be in a middle of a rush too right now.
It seems, like him, Rukia has managed to figure out how to trick the timing so that they get as less 'cross-over' with their comrades as possible. Just how he liked it, given his predilection for being something of a loner.]

[Sephiroth raises his sword up and around in a big circle motion, loosening up his shoulder a little while he seems to be considering it. He warmed up in the locker room since it was empty in there so there isn't much of an excuse for him to refuse Rukia's request but still he's perhaps unsure if it's entirely appropriate. Not-so obviously sizing up Rukia in the process.]

-tell me of your experience.
[He certainly doesn't want to be wasting time.]
