Requested by le car- thank you
Starrk and Lilynette, Aizen
Nothing
When you've got nothing, you've got nothing to lose.
She flexed the muscles that were still a little stiff and glanced up at Starrk, her- her what? She'd settle on companion, for now, because anything else was too complicated. He was staring at the figure moving towards them, the shape that didn't seem to be affected by their presence- he must have been incredibly strong, she knew, to get this close without dying.
She could see- tell- feel- that Starrk was about to step forward, and without quite meaning to, she reached to grab his sleeve.
He turned to look down at her, eyebrows knit in a frown. She suddenly felt a little flustered, and so the words that she had meant to sound smooth and coolly polite came out churlish, and a little bit more real because of it.
"Be careful, wont you?"
He nodded, slowly, as the person drew level with them.
Careful.
When you have something, you have everything to lose.
The shinigami offered something new for them both. Would it be worth it, to risk her, for the offer of companionship?
He glanced down, and she was still looking at him, but there was the light of excitement in her eyes. Of course there was- it was the mirror reflection of his own emotions.
He had something to lose, that much was true, but…
She took his hand in her own as the man- Aizen, he had called himself- continued to smile at them both.
But then, this didn't seem like too much of a risk.
