"I can't speak for the other divisions, but those held in the 13th were more socially oriented. Food and games, maybe a contest. We didn't really dance," she replied. From what Rukia knew of the noble families who were not soul reapers, a formal dance was held now and again, but neither she nor Byakuya had ever attended any events like that. Their duties kept them too busy.

She suspected Byakuya didn't really care much for the other nobles, as well, so that might have played a significant factor.

"So what's Valentine's Day about?" she beamed, curious to know about this cultural holiday that would prompt everyone to get together and dance.
