Vigésimo Octavia
*The video clicks on like any other accidental post, looking up at Ulquiorra sitting on the edge of a roof, not seeming to be looking at anything in particular.*
[Except there is something different in the background -- a flash of red and white robes as Hino Rei appears, tiptoe-ing closer to the Espada, trying to be as silent as possible.]
*He moves so he can see her out of the corner of his eye, but doesn't get up. He's fully aware she knows she can't sneak up on him any more than he can on her and doesn't see it as worth pointing out.*
[But that's what makes it entertaining! At least, for Rei, as she tip-toes closer... and closer... until her arms are around the Espada's shoulders with a grin.]
Why are you up here by yourself?
*He reaches up to brush his fingers against one of her wrists but doesn't make any move to do anything else.*
You know I prefer avoiding crowds.
It isn't a crowd out there.
[But Rei doesn't seem to be complaining too badly. In fact, she almost looks content.]
It's close enough.
*For his part, Ulquiorra doesn't seem too annoyed by her pestering. He just moves the PCD, jerking the video and accidentally recording a loud scratching noise, to let her sit down next to him if she wants to.*
[Rei sits down as soon as the PCD is moved with a smile, shifting to sit shoulder to shoulder with the Espada.]
If you say so.
*He turns his head to look at her and pauses for a moment before reaching for her hand. Though the PCD is just recording their backs now, the movement is obvious.*
I'll come in when it's quieter.
[And Rei takes it without hesitation.]
You can come inside whenever you want.
You'll probably stay out in the cold with me if I don't come in.
Probably.
[She doesn't move to get up, though.]
