As the meeting was over Aizen told Stark she would go with him to see if he really was the one she´d like to work under. No, it means more than that but Aizen did not mention it. The relationship between an Espada and their chosen Fraccione means more than just working together on different positions. At least for Stark. If she only knew what kind of relationship he has with Lilynette. Will he ever be able to tell her? About his aspect of death? About his greatest desire and pain?
"It doesn´t look like you really want me to be your Fraccione, am I wrong?", she smiled at him. Eyes closed, voice kind of sad. "No, that's not it I just thought about something." "Well you can tell me if you don't want me to be with you, I´m used to being different and alone, no problem really." He looked at her, eyes wide open in surprise. Did she just say she is used in being alone?
That was the moment were Stark began to look at her more carefully. The moment he thought different of her and even though he may not knew it back then, it was the moment there was hope. Hope raised inside of him, maybe just maybe it won´t be that hard to tell her and maybe she will listen and understand, maybe she is able to and maybe he is able to open up, just once.
