Issui feels her face heat and scoffs in genuine annoyance. "Shinobu." That's not a good comeback at all, Yanagi. Not that long ago, she would have said that she didn't think Renji was particularly aware of her existence. But she can't really say that anymore, can she? She's been seeing him around more often lately, mostly when she's with Caro and Ichigo and Sado. It's-- it's nice.

She deliberately stops that train of thought for now. Right now, it's war. "And what about your guy?" Issui asks slyly, drawing up to her full height so she can look down her nose at Shinobu. "I hope you didn't wear him out like you did last year. Watching him snore and drool on stage was a little embarrassing."

Before Shinobu can do anything other than screech her name in agitation, Issui speeds ahead of her and makes for a few familiar figures in the distance. Sado's easy to spot for obvious reasons-- there aren't very many people in the area taller than her-- and the contrasting very short figure will be Caro, with Ichigo in between. Issui slows down just slightly once she's in range to wave at them.
