Nelliel had known it was a human holiday, but the crowds were still somewhat of a surprise. Based on what her co-workers shared about the holiday, she expected the fancier restaurants in the city to be filled with people today, and for shops selling flower and chocolates to be similarly busy. This was something else entirely. She wasn't as bothered by it as Ulquiorra was, but Nelliel didn't mind being out and amongst the general public as much as he generally did.

Even Nelliel's co-workers had plans, and a few had taken the time to ask her about what hers were for the day. If their insistence that she dress up was any indication, they might have misinterpreted the nature of the outing - possibly deliberately. It was difficult to be certain. They had successfully persuaded her to wear a dress instead of pants, although the dress wasn't the immodest red one that had been suggested to her first. It was predominantly white, knee-length, with a black sash at the waist. In short, it was the exact sort of thing she would wear at a

Nelliel's attire was something as of late he was growing slowly more accustomed to. It seemed most of the other Espada were slowly beginning to shed their uniforms in favor of street clothes, especially when out in public. Ulquiorra could admit that their uniforms did draw attention to them, but he as a creature of habit and purpose. The uniform, his rank, and job to keep the Espada together was all he felt he had left. If was doing this only to make things easier, if they were too survive he would have to adapt. He just had to keep reminding himself of that, if not he probably would have commented about the low cut bust of her dress and it's inappropriate length.

"I have come to notice that humans will request off from work for just about any reason they could think of." Having parties was another, some just had parties to have parties. What a foolish waste of time, he thought to himself as he motioned with his right arm for Nelliel to continue forward. He stepped immediately to follow at her side, like any gentlemanly escort would

"Including circumstances of their own making," Nelliel agreed. The person in charge of lighting at the modelling shoots had called in sick for the most recent one, even though the 'illness' was actually the result of excess drinking. Although she could understand why humans would choose to eat particular kinds of food rather than strictly going for what was the most nutritious, alcohol wasn't something she could understand. Why a person would voluntarily become intoxicated and out of control...and harm their body in the process. Alcohol didn't even taste good, from what she could tell. She had tried a small amount of it and found it even less appealing than the darkness monsters.

"Although whether their employer lets them get away with it without consequences is another matter entirely."

Reaching in her purse, she pulled out some candies she had received in a box.

"...the solid coloured ones are called kisses, and the striped ones are called hugs, but I still don't understand why they would be named after acts of affection

Sweets were not exactly Ulquiorra's thing to begin with, so the fact that these human treats were named after acts of affection made them something to be wary about. With an eyebrow raised he continued on down the street, "Humans name everything, not always with the best intentions in mind. There are times when even I have to pass on questioning their logic." This was one of those times, it was just candy after all.

"I have spoken with Szayel in regards to fortifying Nueva Las Noches in case of our release. He has reported that the matter should be completed within the next day or so." Szayel could be quite efficient when pressed with an important matter.
