A Warm Reception [Belle, Yuri]

Yuri sighed softly to herself and rolled her shoulders just a little as she finally able to relax, her head lolling a bit to the side as she let the tension in her neck loosen out just a little as she finally came to a stop.

The little Arrancar had been easy enough to draw away from the others. No doubt Hono was giving Ranma an earful. Still, turning her attention to Belle, she smiled warmly, and internally, she was grinning to herself. Good, the sheep seemed to be calming down a bit. And so, with them in a small little abandoned courtyard, Yuri sat herself down on a little half-wall and let her hands rest in her lap.

"Alright. Belle right? Why don't you tell me a little about yourself? And how you wound up in soul society?" She asked. May as well start small. And with how nervous they were, she didn't want them to overload them with information, so she refrained from introducing herself or trying to talk about that whole situation. Start simple, work from there, and once they were calm she could see what she could do. But for now?

She had all the time and patience in the world.

Belle still wasn't sure her wanted to go anywhere with this woman, but she wasn't attacking him, and she HAD saved him. He at least owed her a few answers if she wanted them. " Well, there isn't all that much to tell about myself unless you're wondering what I did as a hollow. You Know Hollow things, Ate a f-few souls, went to menos Forest and hid there for about a century, getting stronger, and three days ago I broke my mask. I crawled out of the forest, and tried to go to earth, and wound up here. Then got attacked by those other Shinigami. You're swords hurt by the way... It look longer to heal than most wounds get. " Belle stretched out her legs letting his arms pop, when he lifted them over his head. " Can I... You know.. go now? I'm not hurting anyone, can't you, tell all your buddies that I'm an alley now, and let me kinda live my life here?" He doubted that was gonna happen, but it was worth a shot, he was still on guard too, his body shivering every so often out of fear, but he was trying to put on his best brave face at the moment. Al-also you have pretty hair.""

Yuri raised a brow slightly and chuckled for a moment as she let a hand rested on her hip. "I also saw you almost Cero one of the shinigami. I certainly understand your predicament. But outside of shinigami, there are rukongai citizens who are not friendly toward arrancar. Especially with recent events. Chances are, you will be attacked again, even if its not shinigami. So at the very least someone will need to be keeping an eye on you, lest you go firing any ceros again, dear." She noted calmly. It wasn't anything against them. But if they HAD fired off that Cero, it would have been a very different situation. And as it stood, it seemed that Belle didn't quite have proper control over his powers at this point.

That said. When that little shaky compliment tumbled out of Belle's lips, she managed to raise a brow in surprise. A calm smile gracing her lips as she chuckled. Right, he DID say that he was a hollow up until recently, it stood to reason that they were also getting used to no longer being a slave to their hunger. "Why thank you. I quite like it myself. Your hair is rather cute too." She noted before folding her arms and pausing as she tapped at her chin for a few seconds. "Hm, I am a bit curious though. You said yourself you wanted to go to the world of the living, didn't you? But you wound up here on accident. So then why do you want to settle down here instead of get properly to the world of the living?" She ventured, folding her arms under her bust and leaning toward him a bit, curiosity clear in her eyes. Surely if SHE had failed to wind up in the same space as she intended she would have just tried again. Not to mention he was ATTACKED here. Why would he want to stay?

" Live in Menos forest and you wouldn't wanna go back either... Even if you want to kill meat least you're letting me talk, that's more than you get out of other hollows." Besides th-there is worse things on earth. I'd h-have to worry about Hollows, other arrancar, shinigami, the weird humans with super powers, and the Quincey.. At least here I only have one direct enemy and that's o-only if they don't let me join them... Besides I k-kinda like the aesthetic.." He tugged at his flower yukata. " I was scared... I didn't w-wanna use it... Cero's take a lot of energy, and honestly I can m-maybe it use mine three times before I'm exhausted.. I'm glad I didn't hurt anyone though. I could also try to open Gargantia but I don't know where it's gonna me.. Still figuring that out ."

Yuri raised a brow slightly in response to the explanation. Still, she supposed that that was... something to be addressed. "I think that you'd find less animosity in the world of the living. Sure theres a lot of people, but arrancar also sortof ... live there. We've only very recently had arrancar showing up here with mixed intentions. I think you'll very much find that this place is very hostile to you in comparison." She noted softly, pausing for a moment at.... Belle's explanation.

"Did you ... get lost in the garganta you mean? Surely you'd just...follow the smell of living souls wouldn't you?" She tilted her head a bit, but gave him the opportunity to explain himself. But still, the garganta wasn't just a magical door that opened and instantly put you in a place. You went into the garganta, you either went towards earth or soul society. and then you came out wherever you came out. Sure, the technique was foreign to shinigami, but the actual layout of the realms was pretty well understood. Hm.

"So... you intend to integrate into soul society then. And what is it you plan to do here? You mentioned joining the shinigami. That would involve fighting. Or finding some other means of contributing to the balance. Are you sure that's something you want to get involved with?"

Looked up at his hair, and blew at his bangs. He had seen a small reflection of himself but he didn't really know what he looked like. Maybe like how he did when eh was alive , only with different hair? " Th-thank you b-by the way, but I haven't seen myself in de-detail so I'll have to take you're word on that. I am gonna get involved no matter what I do. Lets be honest with each other, I-i feel safe here there is reishi EVERYWHERE here. I can eat to my hearts content, Trees, water, fish, anything here is spirit energy, and I have no Apex predators as long as I'm side with the Shinigami.. I won't have to worry about being attack and i have a endless food supply, that doesn't require me to compete with other Hollows. and if one does show up, Not only can I f-fight it but I'll have help to do so... If the price of th-that is me protecting souls.. Even if I h-hates working I really hate working, but I can do that much... It's a good deal no matter how I look at it. If I go to earth I have to feed on Reishi, meaning other hollows, humans or Shinigami.. and f-frankly it's not worth it.."

Yuri blinked in surprise at the explanation from them. Goodness they really WERE new weren't they? Making her way forward, she reached up and lightly patted the top of his head, smirking just a little and canting her head a bit to the side. "Well aren't you just adorable. You don't have to worry about eating dear. Arrancar lose their hunger. You haven't had the urge to feed since you broke your mask right?" She smirked, sighing just a little and closing her eyes as she took a moment to just consider the situation.

"You know... its a bit of a shame. This is such a boring place... and not even that safe. The fragments of the gotei are up eachothers asses. We have beast clan coming in from the outter area. And everyones so focused on attacking eachother. Frankly, it seems like the groups are more interested in stepping on eachothers toes. I would give anything to get the hell out of this realm and get to earth where I can ACTUALLY do the job we're supposed to be doing. Its kindof ironic that you want nothing to do with earth." She noted softly, rubbing at her brow a bit as she glanced up to Belle. "You have a place to stay yet?" She asked with a tilt of her head.

" Hmm, now that I think about it, I haven't really wanted to eat alot of things, but the food here tastes so good I have been eating anyway. The taste is good enough that it makes me want to eat... Huh, I thought I still had too, guess it's just habit to put things in my mouth.." He didn't stop her from ruffling the top of his head, though her words came to a bit of a shock to him . " You want to leave? I mean, I could take you to leave if that's really what you wanted, but it's kinda dark in there, so if you don't mind that, i could try to take you to earth." Bell swiped his hand at the air, the fabric around him rippled and tore the space open, with a sound that frankly made his ears burn. " I'll probably come back though, after your there.." He sniffed at the air it didnt smell like Heuco Mundo, but he didn't really know if that was how it worked. " Ok, well if you want to go, I'll take you there. I don't have a place yet B-but I'm sure the guy that I was talking with, w-will help me out.. I promised I wouldn't hurt anyone.."
