Renji has never been a soft or
especially tactile man. His hands are
rough and callused from years of
training with a blade, his tongue
sharp from growing up on the
streets, and his face often drawn
into a scowl for no particular reason.
He has been known to accidentally
break delicate things with his strong
hands, and when he claps a friend on
the back, he sometimes leaves
unintentional bruises. Thankfully his
friends know him well and his often
harsh words and inadvertent
impertinence rarely hurt feelings.
It's not that he's overly brutish,
really--more that he's just so much
bigger than most of his company...
