“It was all just a lie.”

Quietly she listened to the Primera, she wasn’t sure she should say anything until he fell silent. Finally her shoulder rose in a shrug and she looked to him out of the corner of her eye.

“Prior to them coming here, we never trusted the Shinigami in the first place. I really do question why we started to believe they wouldn’t lie.. — Aizen came in here promising the moon and stars.. to all of us. He was full of false promises.. We were naive to believe that our interests would become the priority.”

She licked the corner of her lips then looked up to the muted night sky. She sighed then shook her head pushing away some of the memories that started surfacing.

“Some of us.. were taken more than others; but you live and learn. — At least you.. still benefited somewhat from the experience.”

Starrk stared over the rolling mountains of sand with half-closed gray eyes. He didn’t make any movement to indicate he’d heard what his fellow Arrancar had said for a long while.

“Benefited...”

He mused the word softly, as if testing it against his tongue. He disliked the feeling.

“We are disbanded. We have lost strength. Shinigami will no doubt hunt us who are more powerful, seeing our threat.”

I am alone.

The pile of bodies in various states of injury. It wasn’t the first time she had seen him in action but it always did surprise her just how brutal he could be when he wished to be. Nelliel ran her fingers through her hair as she lightly nudged the body of someone who was obviously unconscious.

“And.. this is how you train with your new recruits? — The uhh.. fourth division must always be busy.”

It gave the healers something to do she guessed but still it was an interesting way to train people who are supposed to be under your care. She shifted her weight before crossing her arms still looking over the aftermath. Finally she looked back to Kenpachi then she tilted her head to the side.

“How long do they usually last against you?”

Kenpachi turned, the blood-soaked bokken slung lazily over his shoulder as he faced Nelliel. He grinned, the manic expression showing a bit more teeth than usual.

“Na; these dumbasses are all volunteers. Every time we recruit, there’s a bunch of wannabe strong guys who wanna try ‘n test their strength against the Kenpachi. So I lump ‘em all together ‘n give them a shot.”

He rolled his neck, nodding at the waiting 4th division team by the door. With a quickness that spoke of years of routine they began to gather the injured 11th division members.

“We get recruits the same time the 4th does, so Retsu doesn’t mind this too much. Says it gives ‘em a good taste of what bein’ a healer is like. This group was pretty strong; the fight went on fer about five minutes ‘fore they were all spent.”

With a final sigh, the bloodthirst finally all-but evaporated from him, taking the eager smile with it. With a much less animated expression, he tossed the training sword to a waiting Ikkaku for cleaning before motioning his guest to follow him.

“I don’t usually train with the members myself. If I did this every day there’s a good chance they’d die, or that Retsu’d have my head on account of workin’ her division too hard. Only Ikkaku, Yumichika ‘n some of the other seated members regularly spar directly with me. They’re also the ones to do most of the physical trainin’.”

He led the way into his office, motioning towards a chair across the desk as he sat down.

ah man so much more than I did.. I was in jammie pants.. baggy shirt.. and a robe.. and I said “I am a single mom.. who is just done trying” and Briar laughed.

Yeah...we had to wear costumes for work today, so I already had it on since 8AM this morning!

❧ Have you ever been jealous of anyone?On my indie I’ve been jealous of people who get more activity.  In particular people who write shorter things and have a lot moving on the dash...whereas I can really only do para/multi-para/novella posts which takes a lot of time.  So I see them forming relationships and stuff quickly with people, but for me it takes a while so I can get jealous of that.  I know it’s not exactly rational though.

✖ How has Tumblr RP changed since you started? I guess when I first came here it was a lot more active.  It had a lot of different faces, and it seemed much low pressure.  Now there isn’t as much stuff...but I feel a lot more pressure to write things a certain way.

♒ Thoughts on the fandom you're currently rping in?I like the Bleach fandom for the most part.  Sometimes there’s drama, but the group doesn’t have as much of that, so when things get bad out there, I pull into here like a safe-haven.

❣ How salty are you feeling right now?With the current Bleach spoilers?  VERY salty.  I’m a little pissed that it’s kind of getting the same treatment of Naruto.  What’s wrong with having a manga about friendship?  Why must people be paired and there be children?  Just ugh.  Gross.

“Contrary to popular opinion, I do not actually act like a dog.”

He smiles still, nibbling gently on her ear.

“... I ain’t gonna try ‘n understand yer tastes.
