Milana:

"You should accept much more than simple words, but those are true, i don't lie.", the young woman moved to sit under a nearby tree. "And even if i don't know you, i know you are a precious and meaningful person~" [welcome~ Milana knows when to offer kind words~ c: ]

Harribel

“…Milana-san…”, her voice faded away, words refusing to come out of her mouth as she felt herself touched with her words that she never, ever imagined to hear during her existence…

Without even noticing it herself, not even bothering to take her actions back after she had noticed it afterwards, she took Milana’s hands gently on her own, squeezing them softly as she tried to keep her hidden, touched smile as restrained as possible. It was in impossibility. She had not been prepared to embrace sweet words like those that had just been said to her. She wasn’t taught how to react them, never really understood the meaning. But she knew it was something that she definitely did not deserve. That was her strong belief.

“…thank you, most humbly.”

Milana:

The young girl had to admit, she was surprised by the actions of her new friend - but it was most pleasantly. She returned the kind gesture, smiling up at her lovely companion. "You don't need to thank me! I only tell the truth. You are such an honest and kind person you deserve much more than my plain words and actions."

Harribel:

“I don’t get the reasons why you’re like this towards me, but I’m humbly grateful as I said.

Trying to make up a smile too, she couldn’t make herself do the little kind acknowledgement to thank the woman with a humane thing, to keep even with the almost stranger, little by little feeling affection.

“…but you, Milana-san, deserve more than me, that is known. Please, do not speak against me. It’s the truth.”

Milana:

"I never needed reasons to be nice~", Milana admitted cheerful. "I don't know...", it sounded lost at this moment. "... but i won't talk against you, since i appreciate you accepting my honest feelings like i accept yours." [i don't pity D= i mean it like that <3]

Harribel:

“…I’m out of words”, Harribel nodded lightly, hiding the honest truth that she was now speechless to even talk with this woman. “I’m…I’m…you are welcome to pay a visit in my chamber more often if it pleases you, Milana-san. Somehow…you’re presence calms me more than what I am.”

Milana:

Milana smiled gently at Harribel. "To make you speechless wasn't my intention, but i'm glad you feel like that. And i hope you will return the favor of a visit if you feel like you need someone to talk too~", the young girl had never thought to make such a special friend and was truly grateful for it. [<3~~]

Harribel:

Harribel nodded as an agreement to her sentence, taking her words seriously and putting the words “pay a visit” so deeply in her mind that she almost felt like it’s now her new responsibility.

“I try as much as I can. I can always spend my time on special guests like you, Milana-san.”

Milana:

*sits in your ask-box with coffee* "Good Morning~"

Harribel:

“…pleasant morning to you too, Milana-san. May I ask you, how have you actually been doing?”

Milana:

"I'm feeling fine~ thank you. I hope everything is well with you too?", Milana was smiling brightly, handing her friend a cup of coffee to enjoy.

Harribel:

She took the cup couple seconds too late to react in time, falling deep into the other’s eyes as they offered more than just only coffee, along with the bright, sweet smile that tasted like honey to her senses that had gotten too used to negative actions. It was like as if her existence had gotten a lot worse and more worthless during the time she was not able to see this admirable, sweet being.

“Right now, I am”, she let herself to give the other an honest compliment. “It’s truly refreshing to see you after a long while, Milana.”

She didn’t even realize she was now calling her name without the respecting addition. That was maybe only for the comfortable respect she felt towards the woman. That was just only for that once, to show a slight hint how much she felt herself pleasant while looking at her smiling face.

“I’m grateful for the coffee, once again. Thank you, Milana-san.”

Milana:

A light smile brightened her face when the perception of the drop of the honorific reached her. After all, she prefered a more friendly nature around her and most of the older captains or lieutnants dropped it completely, or in case of Ukitake-taichou or Kyoraku-taichou simply stuck with Milana-chan most of the time. It didn't feel so foreign. "I'm glad you feel this way around me, and i honestly don't mind the drop of honorific." the little female concluded with a assuring smile.

Harribel:

“Drop of…?”

It was as if her thoughts had ran towards a wall, dead end they’d call it. Had she accidentally forgotten her respective manners?

How come I’d do such thing?

And now the woman was mentioning about it, although she spoke like it was no big deal for her, decorating that face of hers with such a bright smile that seemed to never get wiped away. Not like Harribel would ever do that.

No. The tone in her voice, the way she looked at her and spoke the words that didn’t seem to be even considered carefully.

Her raised eyebrows dropped its tensed position after the words that were said just couple seconds ago, tensed up expression in her face now loosening a bit as she placed her hands on her hips, palms squeezing the flesh only a little.

“In that case”, a blink and a light, almost unnoticeable nod. ”My gratitude for giving me your pardons for such a sudden familiarity.”

Milana:

Sudden tension didn't remain unnoticed. She understood why the other woman would be uncomfortable with the sudden drop of honorifics, especially as it can be seen that it had occured perfectly uncared. A feeling that was, after all, important. "I didn't pardon you because of that.", Milana considered that it could be taken the wrong way. "I simply noted that i don't care. After all, it shows perfectly that you feel comfortable with me. A really pleasant feeling." 

Harribel:

“So…”

She eyed the other, taking a close, observing look to see if she truly meant what she said. There were times when she didn’t doubt her words. But to say it honestly, she sometimes had a thought that Milana was only telling beautiful words, no having a proper meaning in such pretty and decorated words that were rarely heard while her presence.

Head dropping lightly, couple centimeters to the left as she still scanned through with mixed thoughts filling her mind. Somehow her attention turned to see her eyes and then slowly to her lips and eyebrows. Noticing…

…that there was no way to read this woman.

“…it pleases you when I don’t use the mannerly addition?” she asked, wanting to have a confirmation before possibly accomplishing to drop an usual habit she had gotten used to.

Milana:

"Hugging is such a nice way for showing friendship~ would you mind one from me too?" (i'm mean, aren't i?)

Harribel:

“Milana…”, frowning slightly, narrowing her view a little as she rose her chin up a bit, like looking down on the other, although the meaning of it was not meant to be rude. “Please, no hugs. No touching.”

// You are, definitely xD

Milana:

"I wouldn't call it misunderstanding, just a different form of life you prefer.", the tid-bit of confusion on Harribels side didn't went unnoticed, but she would let that figure out herself. "I am no one to judge, if you don't prefer that, than that is fine~" (NORLY? XDXD)

Harribel:

“As expected of a person like you to say”, she stated, almost like talking to herself as she gave a slight nod. “I must thank you once again for such compliance. I will do with everything else, but I prefer not to touch. That is an absolute for me.”

Milana:

It was loud enough for her to hear, a gentle smile lightening her face at the compliment. As sure as it was one for her. "Understandable, even for friends it is sometimes hard to get over the distance. Confidence is important for everything more intimate between to beings."

Harribel: 

“You said it. I have never really denied your words and I won’t this time either. I’m happy to see how well you seem to understand my situation that has just always been like this.”

Milana:

A light smile touched her lips while watching the beautiful woman in front of her. "I understand~ friendship can be announced in other ways as well~" (pff.. XD.. Milana likes Harribel <3)

Harribel:

“Good to hear that the misunderstandings have now been made clear”, she stated, nodding a little as an approvement to her words, though obviously not understanding what she meant with other ways.

Milana:

Milana knew when people were reading. She knew it well. Trying to decipher the little signals a body couldn't hide, narrowing of eyes, crook of eyebrow, a short twitch of lip, a hand grasped in a fabric or twitching. All that can be signals of dishonesty, but after all, neither in Harribel nor Milana were those signs. Mimicking Harribels movements, the little female smiled. "Yes it pleases me It makes me feel comfortable."

Harribel:

Finally approving by her words after her confirming statement, closing her eyes with those yellow lashes that shut the pleasing and delighting view, caused by the fellow woman that had, somehow, made her feel a lot more comfortable. Everytime, everytime it had ended like this - Harribel finding herself respecting this woman who still had been merely unknown for her. She didn’t know a damn about her.

But still, she somehow knew this woman would be a good reason to give it a try from now on. They were still eyeing each others movements like fire alarms in the ceiling, although the strings between them were rather strong.

“In that case I shall drop the honorific addition”, she agreed, stable tone that was completely unbiased. “Milana.”

She liked the sound. As if it had more significant meaning.

Milana:

"Even if you don't agree with me sometimes, i won't hold it against you~", she reconsidered her last words. "I see. After all it seems that normally arrancar and shinigami should be enemies? I don't really see why, noting that you are a really pleasant and gorgeous being to be around." (Milana is throwing compliments~ and she means everything!)

Harribel:

“There is a contract signed by both sides’ leaders. There should be a peace in both sides, or so I am told. Although, nothing really seems to be that different from before.”

“I’m very pleased to hear you think of me like that, but I don’t really know am I worth them. I’m like everyone else, so please, you don’t need to give me such sweet compliments to make me feel better or anything. Those words fit better to you.”

//Harribel throws back. CATCH!

Milana:

*sits in your ask-box with coffee~ smiling brightly*

Harribel:

Turns out it’s like always. At least this woman she had not seen in a long time had made her think like this, think that she had lacked a lot more of her duties that she actually could. As she saw the delicate face of hidden facts that were still unclear for the blonde, wondering why this woman was so persistent to appear time after time as if nothing turned her down. As it was impossible for such sun to be depressed, to be offended by the fact that this arrancar had left the world for paths unknown without informing, leaving a simple note behind.

And the sight before Harribel spoke for the time that had not changed. Maybe there was curiousity, a slight bit. There had to be, at least Tercera herself would question if she was to be Milana. That was why she was so curious about the woman, the whole shinigami that was not ordinary at all as Harribel had thought her to be. There was something in her, something that was not shown for anyone, for huge possibility. Just a doubt it was, but that was not important.

There was something whispering, rumbling inside her; in that inner part that was not as stable as the outer looks of her tanned skin and tall legs that brough her to be way taller than the small, fragile-looking woman.

A smile, a little one but it still could be claimed to be a smile. Took over her thin lips, a slight raise of an eyebrow as that half-made smile rose even more to the lineaments of hers.

“…lovely day, isn’t it…” The feel of not having a need to explain anything. The feel of wanting to just feel this moment once again, realizing that this was one of the most relaxing ones she had had in the past. “…Milana?”

Milana:

"Yes. It really is a it brought her to wonder what has happened over the last time - but Harribel would tell her, if she was alright with it. If not, the fact that she had returned was enough for the little female to be happy. The third espada was one of the very few people important to her. "It got even more lovely now."

Harribel:

Compliments kept flowing through the mouth like fragile words, like before the time that has passed and left ha huge gap between. And this woman had just jumped over it like it was nothing, that smile somehow finding it’s way through the surface everytime Harribel laid an eye on her. It would be sad if that smile was as fake as the silvery moon of Las Noches, but sometimes - just sometimes even a fake sun had the power to warm up the eternally frozen icicles of doubt. Even more when it was a person like her.

“Yes. It really is a lovely day.” The same, unchanged and unchangeable atmosphere ran through the air like it always had. Made the Tercera almost think that there had not been days between the current moment and the passed one. Lovely day. It’s you that makes it that way, Milana. You’re the lovely day.

“It got even more lovely now.”

She never seemed to change. As if this was her reward for coming back home, seeing this woman sitting there and being herself like she used to, whispering pleasant compliments Harribel doubted even to exist. Sometimes she thought she heard things on her own while Milana talked and had let her tone of voice take over her hearing while breathing. She had those looks of a noble, that aura made of kindness and friendliness so pure that it almost troubled Harribel to approach such being with her filthy figure.

Lovely was the sound of the thought she’s real. “In fact, it did. At least at the very moment you arrived here.”

Milana:

*sleeps in your ask-box*

Harribel:

While the gentle woman laid down to have a rest, or just pretended to have one, Harribel stared towards the motionlessly empty direction that took less interest of hers when compared to the woman. In this rare occasion, weirdly odd situation she hardly faces, as mentioned, she had no idea what to do, to say, to think. Probably she wouldn’t have to do anything and that was what she did, just sat on her current place, gazed nowhere.

A quick glance at Milana, that stretched out to be gawking. Somehow this woman managed to confuse her with simple things she wasn’t all that used to experience. Not like she’d whine about it, pleasant variety it was, overall.

She stayed as silent as her partner, gawked for a long while as her mind turned black, empty. Peaceful. Why to waste it? She remained quiet, as if she didn’t exist beside the woman. Pleasant waves of humane feels were a bit too interesting for her at times, although it was known that Milana was nothing more than a soul too. For Harribel, it seemed to be the opposite.

Milana:

"You speak as if i was the one missed." Smiling lightly, she tilted her head a little. Milana was by now perfectly aware of the way of wording-habits of her very special friend. So the change of object to the little female was something she was perfectly fine with. "In fact, you were missed. Not only by me." She sighed lightly, still smiling, offering a little piece of normality. "I want you to know this. I missed you and your companionship."

Harribel:

“I have told you many times how your flattering words tend to please me”, Harribel sighed lightly as well, thought it was for nothing. Maybe it was just a hopeless one. “though it shouldn’t be so. If I were to be your husband, you could tell me to do just anything you wanted. Only with couple words.”

Could it be considered as affection as she presented her words to the other who took part in the old, usual discussion. Maybe it was just a observation, casually noted down? Nobody cared, Harribel the least. She still enjoyed, although it was fearable, the power of compliments that made her feel this pleased and rightful of her existence. How many times had that even been mentioned with a questioning tone - by herself?

“…only a few peoples’ yearning catches my attention and interest”, her cheerless face told serious truths. For a minute or so she dropped down her empty gaze, watched the ground and ears heard the silence that was broken by the breaths of two. She knew what to say so the silence wasn’t about the shortage of words. She knew completely what to say, after all it was all about honesty, about the gratitude, about the time that was spent together; sitting down, talking silly and nonsense, even further that - if there was anything left to talk about.

To tell the truth, they weren’t all that known to each other, they only knew the bright sides of themselves. But that was only enough. Once again she lifted her eyes to see forward, tilted her head very slightly. Intense, scanning behold, pierced throughout the being before her, now all her smile dried away… “…and yours walks ahead of them all.”

…probably now awakened once again?

Milana:

*hands you coffee because sees that you are busy and coffee is perfect for relaxing~*

Harribel:

In fact, the coffee that was kindly handed over to the blonde for her own surprise, finally noticing the familiar spiritual pressure she had been in contanct many times before - and this once not being aware of it. Usually her mind was more lightened to sense her nearby, but only this once this woman, labeled as fragile, managed to sneak her way closer without being seen or noticed.

And it lightened Harribel’s mind more than it did before. All the concentrating she had gathered together to please everyone by the replies she owed was now moved on her. On Milana.

“You shall have my thanks”, there was a tiny piece of smirk, vanishing immediately. “Though this was not necessary. Your presence helps me way more than a cup of caffeine.”

Milana:

*arranging a coffee break for her friend in the ask-box, including everything she would like~*

Harribel:

Again, a pause to spend another dozens of minutes. No complains, though. Harribel had to question this woman’s reasonings to sit and lay in her askbox always so eagerly without complaining herself. Coffee was served every morning, this pleasant fortune becoming a daily habit. No complains, still. Milana was way ahead from everyone else Tercera knew. Of course her fracciòns were out of question. But Milana, Harribel was feeling like she was favoring this woman. A bit too much, perhaps? She didn’t regret it anyhow. There were several reasons for Harribel to favor the shinigami. Actually, the only likeable shinigami she had ever met. Oddly, but understandably. “Are you pampering me, Milana?”

Wasn’t a long ago since Harribel questioned their relationship, wasn’t even sure could it be called as that. Harribel enjoyed and embraced the woman’s presence with a great desire that it was almost if she had turned to be dependent. Unauthorized actions from a ‘fragile’ woman, her cherishing should even be illegal.

But for Harribel’s bliss, it wasn’t so.

Enjoying ‘bout the little things she was given by this soul reaper whose intentions were unclear. May it remain so if it means to have her stay longer. Tres fondly took the cup from her companion, giving a light nod of approvement. “I shall thank you for your effort and hospitality, Milana. Again.”

Milana:

*prepares coffee and some little delicacies like a daily ritual, smiling brightly* "Good morning~"

Harribel:

Tres felt like it was becoming to be in her responsibility to refuse from this beautiful option for a change, since it was always Milana who came to pay a visit and saw so much effort in everything she did, in everything she directed towards the shark-individual. Even though Harribel never asked for something so gracious as this.

But Milana’s efforts never came in vain.

Do I rp with them:

All damn day. Got some supa rps going onDo I want to rp with them: 

Always

Do I follow them: 

On all my accounts I believe

My opinion on them:

Oh this came rather unexpected, were they normally used to drink coffee in the Arrancars home; Harribel actually managed to clandestinely appear in her own askbox, having coffee with her as a company. Smiling lightly Milana would simply join, sitting besides her friend and deciding a few seconds later differently to hurry back in her kitchen and fetch a few things.

Practically not only that the windows to her kitchen were always open, the kitchen itself was also attached to her askbox, making it possible to use the time in a rather delicious manner, sitting in the box perfectly hidden from surreptitious observers. Returning with a selection of little treats, she simply set it down in front of the lovely woman for her to reach towards it whenever she seemed interested in any of the little treats. 

“It’s rare that you come here, but i’m happy to see you~” It was obvious, Soul Society was still not convinced of the arrancar being no possible menace to them, so for Harribel to come here and visit her, it must be dangerous in some way. Not that she wouldn’t have been able to persuade everyone important to her in Soul Society to acknowledge her special friends like they are by now.

// oh my, i love you already, you know that? even though I don’t watch fairytail it’s like you’re mentally forcing me to like it. because YOU
