No Regrets (1x1 with DarkMudkip)

[DarkMudkip]

"Sure...yer arms'll need the break anyway.." He replied

 

[Jikkah]

She nodded and stood up on slightly wobbly legs bowing her head to him before heading back to Szayel's lab.

 

[DarkMudkip]

Szayel was working on experimenting on Salsa to see how it survived so long

 

[Jikkah]

Nieve didn't even seem to notice, trudging to her cage and flopping down on the mattress, falling asleep instantly.

 

[DarkMudkip]

Salsa clucked at her and Szayel shrugged before drawing blood from the mutated chicken

 

[Jikkah]

Nieve woke in the morning - or at least as morning as it would ever really get in Hueco Mundo - sitting up and yawning, arms aching.

 

[DarkMudkip]

"Good morning." Szayel greeted, still toying with Salsa the chicken

 

[Jikkah]

Nieve blinked the sleep from her eyes before getting up and moving over to the table where Szayel was, groggily picking up Salsa before shuffling away. "Morning Otou-sama.." She yawned, heading to the kitchen.

 

[DarkMudkip]

Szayel blinked, staring at where the chicken was before looking at where she had gone, "Where are you going with that thing...!?"

 

[Jikkah]

"Salsa needs breakfast." She said, leaving the lab. Over night her mask fragment had gone from a very small piece, to a larger one, fully complete. It was now two thin pieces starting on the bridge of her nose and going under her eye and into her hairline, small teeth just beneath her eye.

 

[DarkMudkip]

"I need to disect it...!" Szayel followed after her, waving a scalpel

 

[Jikkah]

"Salsa isn't a specimen, it's my pet!" She said, more awake now.

 

[DarkMudkip]

"It is a thing, not a pet!" He told her

 

[Jikkah]

"You just want to dissect it!" She shot back, quickening her pace. "And it isn't just a thing it's my pet!"

 

[DarkMudkip]

"Nieve Granz!" "Yare~ Ya bein' real mean, Apporro~" Gin said, sitting on a slab with a cup of tea

 

[Jikkah]

Nieve held the two headed bird under her arm, turning to look at Gin, cheeks flushed. "Gin-sa-" She cut herself off. "Ichimaru-san?"

 

[DarkMudkip]

"Let her keep it~ its cute~" Gin grinned. Szayel scowled softly, "Fine."

 

[Jikkah]

"Arigatou..!" Nieve bowed to Gin, making Salsa cluck unhappily.

 

[DarkMudkip]

Gin offered out some bread and Szayel fumed, "Wheredidyougetthat!?" "I went ta tha World of tha Livin'~ they got tha best tea~ Goubantaichou-san loved goin' there sometimes~"

 

[Jikkah]

"The world of the living?" Nieve looked to Szayel. "Where's that?" She asked, eyes curious.

 

[DarkMudkip]

Szayel glared death at Gin and the shinigami held up his hands. "The World of the Living is where the humans live."

 

[Jikkah]

"Can I go?" She asked, setting Salsa down so the chicken could run free.

 

[DarkMudkip]

"No." "C'mon~ le'dder go~" Gin said

 

[Jikkah]

"Please Otou-sama! What if Ichimaru-san went with me?" She asked, giving him the Bambi eyes.

 

[DarkMudkip]

"Oh, well in that case: hell no." He answered. Gin chuckled, "She'll be fine~"
