Oh calm down, I called you cute, is that not enough?

❝ Haah? Ya patronizin' me? ❞ Oh, he's pouting.

[gyakusama]

@fenixias cont. from here.

❝ Well, that's a shame, ❞ Shinji drawls listlessly, balanced on one foot to scratch that ankle with the talons of the other. It sounds like bone scraping against bone. ❝ Was kinda hopin' ya could solve a li'l riddle fer me. ❞

[gyakusama]

❝ AiZeN-sAmAAAAAA~! Celeste's threatenin' ta destroy Las Noches 'r whateverrrrr. ❞ || @keikakudori

[gyakusama]

is there some tension goin on between u n nnoitras fraccion?

❝ I don't hate th' guy, 'f that's what ya mean. ❞

[gyakusama]

Jaw sets, but she smiles, as sweet as she can possibly be. ❝ I can tell you're trying to test me, but better beings than you have tried, and it won't work. Mind yourself. Aizen- Sama always hears of problems from me. And I fully doubt that, whatever ties you have to him will be enough to stave off discipline. ❞

❝ Ho~h? Seems like you're gettin' pretty testy ta me. ❞ And he has devoured better beings than her, so what is her point? Does she think that he's scared of her, or of Aizen for that matter?

❝ An' jus' what would he discipline me for, huh? ❞

[gyakusama]

❝ ❛ Personality aside ❜────th' fuck? Come say that ta my cute face. ❞

[gyakusama]

❝ You like to pick at people, don't you? ❞

❝ If you're talkin' 'bout yer Fracción friend, settle yer feathers; he didn't even miss a beat. Spend yer energy bein' proud of him instead of whatever it is you're tryna achieve here with me. ❞

[gyakusama]

"Ya want me 'ta save some 'fer ya? ~"

❝ Real generous of ya t' offer me yer sloppy seconds, but 'm good. ❞

[gyakusama]

❝ Maybe it adds flavor. Like seasonin'. ❞

[gyakusama]

@fenixias replied: ❝ No! No, that is not at all what I am trying to do!!! I just mean, like ... Tesla is a big pig, and Ulquiorra is a bat, but you are just ... a guy, I think. ❞

Oh, he's thinking really, really hard about this one. After a hot minute, he realizes that he'd never exactly looked at himself in a mirror while he was a Vasto Lorde, and he shrugs at her.

❝ Guess 'm just a guy! But ask Aizen────he's a pair'a smarty pants, maybe he'll know...an', uh. If ya find out, come back an' tell me. ❞ He's not about to make himself look stupid by asking Aizen what the hell he's supposed to be.

[gyakusama]

"You have done well." [for arrancar!shinji.]

❝ Hooh~? Some kinda compliment from a Shinigami? To what do I owe such an honor, huh? ❞

[gyakusama]

Yer kinda an attention whore.

❝ Ain't my fault people can't seem ta keep their eyes off me. ❞

[gyakusama]

❝ Try not to condescend me while you speak to me. My patience is thin as it is. You're going to pick at someone one day, and they're not going to handle it with grace, so I advise you stop while you're in a good position to do so. ❞

Do it, then. Do something. Give him a reason. He hasn't eaten in a while.

❝ Been told 'm ❛ too informal ❜ an' ❛ overly friendly ❜ an' ❛ How dare ya presume ya can refer ta an Espada by their first name? ❜, so don't take it too personally 'f I seem flippant. But next time, 'f I want any of yer predictions, I'll ask fer 'em. ❞

[gyakusama]

"So. What'd you do to piss of Aizen." The only reasonable explanation for why Hirako doesn't have a cattle-brand of his own delineating him as Espada is that he's somehow earned their creators ire.

Shinji just gives the Sexta Espada a bemused smile.

What the hell makes 'im think Aizen's pissed at me? An' what make 'im think it's any of his business?

Either Grimmjow is trying to start shit, or he's overheard something he shouldn't otherwise be privy to. Or, option C: those weird sidelong glances Aizen casts Shinji's way on occasion have lead Grimmjow to this conclusion.

Nosy cat.

❝ ...Wouldn't you like ta know? ❞ he taunts instead, and on that unhelpful note, turns to take his leave of Grimmjow. Just one mystery traded for another.

[gyakusama]

Perching on his shoulder. ❝ So ... What are you? I mean, I know you are one of us, but ... what are you? Is that ... rude to ask? ❞

❝ Ain't rude so much as it is confusin'. Ya tryna gimme an existential crisis? ❞

[gyakusama]

sorry to those i've got threads with, but i'm probably putting the arrancar!shinji verse (v. time's elimination) on an INDEFINITE HIATUS. i'm happy to do other stuff with y'all, ofc!
