                                     ❛      Up to no good ?    Isn’t that what I should be saying about you ,   Sett ?      ❜            𝐥𝐚𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐞𝐫  𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬  𝐚𝐬  𝐬𝐨𝐟𝐭  𝐚𝐬  𝐡𝐞𝐫  𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐬            as she approaches  &  bumps knuckles of her fist against his chest PLAYFULLY .   A kind of affectionate greeting ,   before fingers extend  &  pat against his pectoral .         ❛      You could say I missed you .    One could also say I was . . .    out of commission for quite some time .      ❜

It’s too late. She’s already running. SPRINTING.  oh god oh no IchiGO RUN AWAY.

                         ❛      HURT is too strong of a word for what I feel .      ❜        𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐟𝐭 𝐯𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐞 ,            her hand gliding over the cracked teeth ,   eventually falling away entirely .             ❛      It aches ,    from memories  &  fears ,    from the dread of that day to those of SURVIVAL every day after .    Had it not been for Peshce and Dondochakka ,    perhaps I would not be standing before you the way I am now .      ❜            Pensive silence ,   gaze drifting between the faraway  &  the present ,   before returning full attention to the healer with a faint smile .             ❛      Had it not been for them ,   I would not have been able to meet you  &  Ichigo .   Whatever pain there may be ,   it pales in comparison to my gratefulness towards my friends .      ❜

𝐒𝐎𝐅𝐓 ,  𝐒𝐔𝐑𝐏𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐄𝐃 𝐒𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐃 𝐒𝐋𝐈𝐏𝐒 𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌 𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐋𝐈𝐏𝐒 𝐀𝐓 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐂𝐇 ,        opening her mouth at their prompt .   It looked like some kind of candy .    She takes it without question  &  chews ,    distinct CRUNCH coming as she bites down on it .                          ❛      What is it supposed to be ?      ❜

                            ❛      I did ,    but only for a time .      ❜            she explains ,    weight shifted to her heels as expression shifts to one of momentary contemplation .    Lips press together ,    shaking her head with a quiet HUFF as she continues ,         ❛      When the Quincy came ,    I sought him out .    I knew we needed help  &  I thought of no one better than him at the time .      ❜           a lowly pause ,    eyes fixated on the scar her hand rests on ,    UNTIL IT'S SWALLOWED UP BY THE LARGER HAND OF THE OTHER .    She doesn't look up at him ,    allowing only the whisper of the dry breeze brush loose strands from her shoulders ,    nothing but the distant GROAN of the arid breeze takes up the silence in between them as she gazes at the scar  (  feeling her own ache faintly ,    as she imagines his to ache  ) . 𝐒𝐇𝐄  𝐁𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐒 ,   𝐀𝐒  𝐈𝐅  𝐑𝐎𝐔𝐒𝐄𝐃  𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌  𝐀  𝐃𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐌  𝐀𝐒  𝐅𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐄𝐑𝐒  𝐂𝐔𝐑𝐋  𝐀𝐁𝐎𝐔𝐓  𝐒𝐌𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐄𝐑  𝐏𝐀𝐋𝐌 .            The undeniable pressure of his grip holding her fast against himself ,   as well as the dissipating expression caught in the corner of her eye until she looks up at him ,    his grin renewed when she does .    Cocky .    He knows the possibility still lingers ,    but the iota of HOPEFULNESS draws a low chuckle from the ex-espada .    Of COURSE they'll make it out without concern ,    they were reunited once again  (  &  Nelliel finally being in possession of her original powers ?    Little could pose a threat to them  ) .    She doesn’t make a show of this as she releases the quiet ,   yet EXASPERATED sigh .                                      ❛      Remember ;    Just because we can choose our battles doesn’t mean you need to go and pick every single one .      ❜

Figured out at nice psd for her :))
