Sitting around the round TaBlE

[Stone]

Well, well, Void was quite busy or seemed so. As he rushed along the corridor to whatever destination he may have set. He only saw around two or three arrancar on the move and some exeqias. But he didn´t care for them, not because that was his mindset. But because he had other plans as to talk with them right now. He was rushing to the throne room, where Aizen resided, or normally did. He was out for the day or something like that and Void was on his way there, because he wouldn´t be disturbed by any kind of minion´s of his today there. They would never dare to get in there, as the punishment, he had told them for it was something worse than dead. Even worse than their worst nightmares. Well, they would be punished for real if they should dare and so, he was kind of safe there.

As he reached his destination, the doors to the throne room was closed. He smirked on the inside as he pushed the door open. Without any sound, they moved in their angles and a crack formed and then a small opening widening to a door, where he could slip through. As he entered, he closed the door and looked around. Aizen wasn´t there. Good, because if he would have been, he would have had to improvise something like a message or the like for him to have a reason to enter. But as he wasn´t there... He walked up to the seat at the end of the table. Well, as he looked at it, reminding himself, that Aizen sat there normally, he shuddered. He wouldn´t sit down there. It would be enough as long as he would get a bit of stillness in this place. So he turned and walked back to his normal seat and sat down. Looked around finding nothing wrong and began sorting his thoughts.

[Necesse Letum]

Letum sat in his 'special chair' as he called it. It was special because it was the most comfortable, next to Aizens. He had no idea why, but the chairs slowly got more comfortable with rank. The 10th espada's chair was like sitting on a bed on rocks, while his was like sitting on clouds. Hence the reason he came in here often just to sit and think. A chance to get away from people, since Aizen was hardly even ever in here. He was only in here for meeting and the like. He looked up as he heard someone entering the room.

Letum watched with silent interest as the 3rd espada entered the room he was currently sitting in. He was in plain view, but his reiatsu was so well masked, even someone with great awareness of their surrondings would miss him sitting in his chair. The tercero looked around, and not seeing anyone, sat down. Void sat only two seats away from him, yet still hadn't noticed. He decided now would be a good time to reveal himself.

"So Void, what brings you down here at this time of day? I never saw you as one to scheme." He said this with a hint of a smile and only one eye open and looking at Void.

[Stone]

Void sighed as the primera espada suddenly appeared seemingly, as if to scare him. Well, would work with most people, but Void just tilted his head slightly as he saw the primera espada now. Letum, well, not as if he had any favorite people in the espada or friends, that was a thing that nearly never happened, as the position was just too high to have any equal people befriending each other, but for an idle chat, Void was always open and so, while tilting his head, he also began thinking about why the first espada was sitting here in this very room. Maybe because of teh same reasons as he was here? Would that be possible? Well, if he was taking a break, why not Letum as well.

"Oh, Letum, you were here too. What a surprise." Voids´eyes spoke differentely from what his mouth had said, they seemed not the least bit surprised, they seemed quite dead. Void began folding his hands and sat his arms at the table, which they both sat on. Then he moved his head on top of that construction and began talking again. "Well, for what reason may you be here? Summoned by Aizen, or..." And now, he wasn´t sure if he could say this, he wasn´t scared or anything, but he would like not to have an enemy in the espada, as thy were all on the same side. He hated teasing between the espada as well as challenges for strength in their exclusive circle. But well. "Are you taking a break as well as long as Aizen is gone?" Void said that without any feelings in his voice neither sarcastic nor with any evil intention in his voice, more like a puppet speaking it´s text after pulling the string while looking at Letum with his empty eyes.

[Necesse Letum]

Letum always hated Void. Not for any slight the other espada had pulled against him, just because of his lack of emotions. Letum knew he had them, he just never showed them, and to one like Letum who often showed him emotions, it was unnerving. As Void spoke to him, he closed his eyes once again, since he knew, or at least hoped, he wouldn't have to worry about a sneak attack. He had no doubt he could beat the other espada in a fight. He was the Primera for a reason, but he knew never to let his guard down when around the others.

This meant his alone time was pretty much ruined, and now Void thought it prudent to speak him. His greeting had just been for the sake of formality, and he thought Void would just ignore him. Apparently he was wrong. Dammit. "I'm not here for either. I'm just here to think. It's usually quiet and no one comes up here. I'm guessing you're here for a break. A break from what, I don't know, and to tell you the truth," He paused and opened his eye once again to look at the other espada, "I don't really care."

If it had been a lovely female to enter, he would of been much more...energetic, in his speech, but it had just been the espada he refered to as the puppet, and at times would call him it to his face. Like he said before, he didn't really care. If the third hated the name, he could try to do something about it.

[Stone]

Was that so, to think, huh? And well, he had kind of expected this reaction, as the arrancar seemed to be one of the more impulsive among an already impulsive and fickle race. Void thought about it, he never ever could befriend such a guy, never. here were two reasons. One, their ranks, they would always stand between them and even though Letum was two positions higher than him, he was sure, it would be a close fight if they were ever to cross their blades. Not only, because he knew of his own power, but also, because he wouldn´t lose his cool before a stronger opponent. Not even the primera espada. And that alone was enough to get most espada off their balance and to make them wavering. And once such a big guy wavred, the place they stand on would always be no support anymore, but more of a burden.

But well, Letum seemed to be in no mood to talk and so, he would just be quiet, as he expected that the sheer presence of another espada in this room would be unsettling for Letum, until he would pull a string and snap most likely and then he would talk to Void and not the otehr way around. Void could live even with another arrancar in the room. Though he did find it quite an insult, that Letum had closed his eyes as if he wasn´t fearing anything. Well, he was right, bu still, it was something like an unintended to be insult. And so, Void with his eyes still open and fixated on Letum leaned back and got into a comfortable position before making his eyes shift to the opposite of the room, window like engravings with no real meaning, as they didn´t showed the outside, but the white of the stone. Well, and with that he began to quiet down, even stopping to release any reiatsu and became more and more relaxed, so much as that even a smirk went on to his face as he expected a sudden outburst from Letum.

[Necesse Letum]

Though Letum liked quiet, he only liked it when he was alone. When he was with someone else, he couldn't stand the quiet. Not because he wanted to talk, just because he could feel the other presence, and the quiet seemed to become suffocating when someone else was around. He didn't know why this was. He had never figured it out, and probably never would. This was another reason he hated being around other people. He could feel Voids eyes on him, and it actually started to anger him. He hated being stared at..unless of course, it was a beautiful female, Letums favorite thing in all the lands.

He felt the tercero's eyes leave him, but the feeling remained. Letum was not one easily angered, but this man was able to do it quickly, and that was something Letum despised. He opened his eyes once again to look at the only other occupant of the room. "What the hell are you smirking at, puppet?" His voice hadn't changed, though it had a small undercurrent of anger hidden beneath his usually bored voice.

He sat up, putting his feet, which had previously been on the time, back on the floor. "And why the hell are you in here. You just ignored me when I asked you that, instead asking another question. Just because I guessed doesn't mean you're excused from the question. It's rude you know to ignore someone." Again, his voice was the same bored tone.

[Stone]

Well, as expected. But what was this now, a childish reaction to him not answering his question, was he so fixated on how someone spoke with him? Quite the arrogant one, as it seemed as well and again, he didn´t really care about Letum being all angered and waited for him to finish and a few seconds more before he spoke. "Well, it is as you guessed, I´m just here to have a little bit of stillness surrounding me. And for why I didn´t answer, as I wanted this stillness, it wouldn´t do any good to answer you, as even if I would have told you what you already had guessed, you wouldn´t stop and just become more angrier, wouldn´t you?" As he had talked, the smirk had vanished and an angry look paired with a cold stare had become of his former emotionless eyes, as he turned once again.

"Or am I wrong at any point? Letum." Well, now that he had said what he wanted, he moved his hands back to the position where they had been before. As if to show, that he was ready to talk this out uncaring of what would be said in this room without having any intention to disturb the peace that was in here as well. And just to think about damaging this room was out of the question, as they would both be punished and that was something, Void wanted to avoid at any cost. If it hadn´t been for that, he would have just kept up his ignorant farce and waited for either Letum to calm down or to snap totally. But it wouldn´t get him anything without anyone looking, as they would be both held equally to the penalty. But well, he wouldn´t accept the tone of Letum now, as he hated even the thought of him being handled like someone inferior. After all, the numbers were just numbers and even though they may be quite accurate, they were all a family as Aizen would say and only the head of the family had any might about the rest.

[Necesse Letum]

Now he was getting pissed. He might of hated his current position, and would of left it earlier if it didn't mean he would probably be killed, but he would not be talked down to. That attitude was what got him here in the first place, since the Former-primera hadn't liked his attitude, in any way, shape, or form, and had decided to punish him, only to be killed in the ensuing fight. He didn't look down on the others for being of other rank, but he was still the primera, and that deserved some respect.

"Don't act like you know how I'd react. You don't know me, puppet. Don't even think you do. You answer a question that is asked of you, and it doesn't matter who it's from. Remember that if you want to survive here." He put his feet back up on the table, hoping to regain some of his composure, but didn't close his eyes, instead keeping them focused on Void. "And before you start that threat bullshit, no, it wasn't, it was merely advice, since I'm sure some of the others wouldn't hesitate to shut that smart mouth of yours."

[Stone]

The lack of emotions got right back into his eyes as he heard the phrases coming out of the mouth of the primero espada. Seems like he had been getting a bit too far ahead of himself and made Letum have to even change his position, it seemed like it was as he had seen it coming. Both of them seemed to have gotten a little too agitated. Maybe espada were really better off being alone the whole day. Maybe forever. But well, for now, he had to fix the situation. He didnt´changed anything about his posture and began speaking in a calm voice: "First, you also don´t know anything about me." Yes, it was true, the espada barely knew anything about them, not even their real powerlevel, as they hardly needed ever two espada to get in a fight and so they were quite the one on one fighter. Not really team players.

"Second, could you please stop calling me puppet I don´t call you any weird nicknames as well. And thirdly, if it is about respect and the matter of answering a question. I normally answer any question as soon as they are asked, except..." Yeah, except when some arrogant type of being was just randomly throwing a fit and was all high and mighty. "...when I´m spoken to in such a tone. Also, excuse my tone just now, but it was as bad as your tone before. As for respect as well, I deeply respect you and the position given to you, I know how hard it can be to get into these ranks and because I´m also in such a rank, I see us all as equals, I wouldn´t go as far as calling anyone under me my subordinates, we all are individual beings, that is a present. A present given to us by Aizen and we have to treasure it and also act as individuals with just our upmost leader and father as the only one giving orders, as his ideals and goals are ours as well." He could just hardly suppress the words 'right?' what would most likely end in another arguement about respect and such sort leading to no goal.

[Necesse Letum]

Letum watched the tercero talk, wondering how hard it would be to kill him. He quickly banished this thought, since he knew they weren't allowed to fight in Las Noches anyway. As soon as he finished what Letum classified as a lecture, he closed his eyes. He knew if he said anything, it would cause the tercero to say something, which would probably anger him. Even though he didn't say anything he was still getting angry.

"Yeah, yeah. Whatever. I'm done here. I'm going to go find me a lovely lady. I've got an inch only one of them can scratch." With that he stood up and headed for the door. He stopped and sighed. He looked back to the tercero, and knew he was going to regret this, but he could at least be civil. "Want to come? Scope out some babes, I mean." In truth he wanted the man to say no, but if he said yes, then maybe they could actually get along for a bit. "Unless you swing the other way." He said this with a smirk.

[Stone]

Good thing, they settled this way. Every other outcome would have been unfavorable or if it had come to it´s worst deadly. But now that that was settled, he felt as if he began to like the head strong arrancar before him. Maybe even began to respect him for real, as he was certain, that in reality, he, Void had been childish as well. But well, what was to be expected with his young age of just 150 and a bit? Anyways, he was still a foolish being before the perfect beings out there and as he knew Letum wasn´t perfect and not being perfect was good, he felt a bit better. And as he heard the offer, that seemed to come out of the arrancar´s mouth, he smiled a bit and let the whole farce of him being unmoving as a rock and unfeeling fall. If one was to say something like this, that one showed his respect and it was meant as a friendly act and after all, his whole emotionless being wasn´t well received by the womans, so he could let himself go fo a day. But still, even though his whole body became relaxed and not as stiff as before, his eyes were still vast and empty.

"Sounds good to me and no fear, I certainly don´t swing the other way." With that he got up and dropped even the emotionless tone. "Let´s see who get´s a babe the fastest." Yes, he was known for such things, just suddenly changing his mood and partying or going for a raid into the human world to have a bit fun. What was to it to let sometimes the masks fall.

[Necesse Letum]

"Well, be prepared to lose horribly then." Letum said this in a friendlier tone than before, especially since the younger espada had dropped the emotionless mask, though his eyes were still unnerving. He turned and walked out the door, the younger espada right behind him. Maybe he had found someone that he could actually share his favorite past-time with. Babe-hunting.

Exit Letum and Void
