[Rukia blinks at the story. She's not sure why, but she's picturing Flynn in that particular role. Maybe it's because he's blonde and fights with a sword. She eats another bite of cake.]

I don't believe I've heard that tale. But it sounds interesting.

[She continues to speak as she pierces the cake with her fork once more.]

Shinigami are given a simple katana once they graduate from the Academy. It is up to each one to become acquainted with their weapons and learn their names, in order to achieve the harmony that allows them to release the full power of their weapons. Mine is Sode no Shirayuki, 'Sleeves of the White Snow.' She's an Ice type.

[It's clear that she speaks of her blade with glowing pride.]
