"I'd like to kiss you, but I just ate sardines."

The unexpected sentence comes from his left.

A woman approaches.

Grimmjow laughs over the trance-y dance playlist the club's currently blasting.

"Don't let that stop ya."

He admires the woman's face framed by long green hair. There's a charming pink stripe across her nose and a scar on her forehead, but she's still a beauty.

Her look back at him is one of mischief and appreciation.

She opens her mouth to reply but a tikihead pulls her away.

"Nel-sama! I'm surprised at you, talking to a stranger like that!"

"Really, Dondochakka, you're ruining my fun when I was the one that drove us here?"

"What do you mean, you've been dancing non-stop since we got here, don'tcha know?"

"I won't drop a drink of alcohol since I'm designated driver! I think your love of screwdrivers unwound your brain."

The tikihead sputters.

Grimmjow hears enough and finds a table.

"Some asshole just cockblocked me!"
