Pursing her hidden lips in thought, Halibel strode over to the boy slowly, as if she were afraid of scaring him off (even though she didn't particularly care if he did).
Raising a hand and pointing a black-gloved finger to his forehead, "If you truly feel like you owe me, then I'll give you a little bit of my power. Until you feel like you have fulfilled your debt, you will become a psuedo Fraccion. I seem to have lost my three.."
Sun-Sun, Apache, Mila Rose.. where were they? Did they unknowingly stay behind when Halibel was pulled into this portal from Aizen's palace of Las Noches..? Oh well.. it didn't matter.. She'd have this boy as a temporary replacement until she could find a Hollow to command.. or a strong demon-beast.. whatever they were called.
Truthfully, Halibel wished she could've had a female replacement.. but the boy was feminine looking enough.

There was always authority behind the point of a finger. Sadly enough, this never failed to work on Xenneth. He had jumped slightly just seeing her point to his forehead and make the declaration. It was a bit unnerving as first of all, he wasn't sure what a fraccion was. He did however know that this figure seemed to be powerful enough to scare off that figure, and with the amount of power he had, he could imagine that he couldn't touch her.
Nevertheless, he wasn't one to go back on his words. He would pay this woman back even if he wasn't sure who, or what she was for that matter. He had pressed his lips together making a strong and determined face. It was as strong as his cute little looks could muster. He didn't care what a fraccion was, but he know he wanted to pay back his debt, so he accepted the title.
"R-right...I'll help! I can't do much...honestly...I don't know how to use these powers I have. Judging from what you said, you have some sort of power too...right?" he asked curiously.

She gave a silent, curt nod, "This will hurt a little since you are human."
And suddenly, and almost without warning, there was a power surge that would normally feel like being electrocuted that shot from Halibel's extended finger and into Xenneth's body, filling him with a little bit of her Arrancar, Hollow-y powers. A fraction of her powers.
After what seemed like an eternity, Halibel let her hand drop, "You.. are the first human to gain Arrancar powers.. without first becoming Hollow. Feel lucky. The process of becoming Hollow is very painful. My powers will return to me once you feel like you have fulfilled yourself."
Turning, she glanced over her shoulder and down at him, silent to see his reaction, or to gauge him, maybe both?

Xenneth's eyes slightly widened as he felt the surge through his body. It didn't feel good, he could at least say that much as he let out a horrid cry to have his very soul reject the powers. It was mostly likely because like others, he couldn't have hollow traits that easily. If anything, if felt like he conflicted with the traits of retaining his humane side as he felt something deep within have a fight from within. It was only fortunate enough that the side that retained his sanity had won...for now.
He had fallen to his knees as he had gasped for air deeply. She said it would hurt a little, but he wasn't sure if she was aware at just how he felt right now. The effect on what she had on his powers would probably be. He looked up to her to see "that" expression again. It had made him reply with nothing more than a nod and a straight face as he was too scared to breath, too scared to show weakness in front of her as she could crush him as she pleased in his case still. He took his time staggering to stand once more.

Halibel watched him fall to his knees from the sudden surge, and turned back around "You have a fraction of my powers.. a Fraccion."
Halibel begun to walk forward, wanting to find her way out of this forsaken place and get back to Las Noches. Sure, the place was similar to her home with an eternal night it seemed, but it wasn't at the same time of course.
Master Aizen had plans, and she needed to be there to help carry out those plans at all costs.
Feelin unsually talkative, Halibel asked softly "Do you know where we are, or how we get back to where we came from..?"

Xenneth had stood up as he was saddened by the question once more. He wasn't sure. He wasn't sure of anything here. First thing he knew was he just came here through a portal found in the graveyard of his home.
"I'm....I'm not sure on how we got here...but..."
He paused after realizing what he said, what she said. His eyes setting on her with a surprise look on face as they widened in the fear of the small hope he had as he met this woman.
"Ms. Halibel. Are you trapped here as well?" he had asked.
This was a disappointment. No! Where was his manners! It was just unfortunate as all. It was only unfortunate that this woman didn't know of this place as well, but it was a good thing she came along while she did. She had saved him thus far showing that she was a good person, or at least in young Xenneth's opinion. Anyone who could go out their way to save another wouldn't be all bad, would they?
"W-well...I'm not sure how to leave, but I know I made it here through a portal. I guess if we happen to come across one...we take it?" he had implied in more of a question to see if the woman agreed. "S-simple enough! He said in a slight stutter. I know now that we have each other's company it won't be so bad to look out for each other...right?" he asked curiously.

The deep, penetrating blue eys crossed over to Xenneth once more as she stared at him silently in thought, "A portal..?"
Hm.. true. They got here through a portal.. so it would only make sense to go back through another to arrive home.. or worse yet.. somewhere else.
"Yes. I was ordered to explore the portal by my master, and return with information on it. He was as surprised as the rest of us were about the sudden appearance of a black swhirling portal.." she said softly, as if in thought.
Turning back around, Halibel continued her slow walk as they neared a small forest beyond the crystal clear lake she arrived at. Good thing she ate before she came. She'd at least be satiated for a couple weeks at least now.

Xenneth had of course followed Rina's pace. He didn't mind walking in someone's shadow. If anything, because of his timid nature, he was use to it. He had a sense of justice, but overall he was a follower of one who was an idealist. Of course he might've misread Halibel if she was good or bad unknown, but she saved him, and he owed her that much as he followed her blindly. He wondered if she ever had been a hero to others besides himself.
He thwart the thoguhts from his mind as he had his own questions hearing her speak. This was his moment to learn more about Halibel, if she wouldn't mind talking to him of course. At best, she seemed open right now to at least tell him the gist of things. Maybe an exchangement of knowledge was in order.
"That fox...she said this place was known as "Paradise." At least for those who live here." he had noted. "Halibel...you're not from here...so where are you from? You said you had a master that sent you here." he had summarized collaborating the information thus far.

"Yes. I'm not native to here.." she said simply, "Hueco Mundo."
She continued to walk, suddenly being short, but to the point with her words as she moved.

Not much of a descriptive answer, but he wasn't one to question her. He was only following because it was right since she had already helped him as much. He simply lowered his head a bit saddened in thought realizing that he might've been decieved. Hueco Mundo certainly didn't sound like some native land from where he came from.
"I never...heard of such a place." he had noted obviously wanting an explanation.

Halibel glancced over her should and to her human Fraccion and blinked her eyes slowly "It's a place where Hollows roam. Not a place for the ill or light of heart.. I'm not sure how my home was created, nor do I care particularly. All I do is carry out plans that Master Aizen tells me."
She came to a slow stop and looked around, then continued onwards as if she felt something compelling her to move onwards, be it the feel of a certain reiatsu, the smell of fire or blood, whatever it was was unsure. But one thing was clear, she apparently knew where they were going without having ever been here.

"Hollows..." That name brought a picture to mind as he followed Halibel through the area without a waver of worry. Though the name of those detestable creatures made him think about Hollows and exactly what they were. He remembered that they were trying to devour souls. Sadly enough, they claimed one in his presence. One so close...and he felt that it was the end for her because of that. He didn't remember anything afterwards but that form vanishing into the darkness, but he once witnessed a fragile hollow that was winged simply waiting...watching...stalking him when he was alone.
All from the darkness can't be bad...right?
He couldn't answer his own question. Very few could, but actions sometimes spoke louder than words. This hollow in particular took a simple action and that was observe. Because of that, he couldn't base alliance by curiosity like he had done Hanibel who he assumed was a good person...or...
His eyes had shifted towards Halibel seeing that look in her eyes. Calm and lacking any sense of worry as if she had experienced things much worse than being lost and without hope. She was mysterious to him and her expression was coveted by her collar to where Xenneth looked up to her to only see the material coveting her mouth and those piercing eyes. She wasn't human, but then what was she? He remembered her being referred to as a "White Shinigami."
He tried to stop thinking. Halibel saved him, and he owed her, even if it was rights to his soul as of now, paying her back for going out her way for his arrogant trust was what matter most. So he simply followed while she navigated through the woods not speaking to the point where he didn't want to try aggrovating her with too many questions. He was still his shy self after all as he lowered his head twiddling his thumbs as if he was trying to press down the many thoughts flowing in his mind with a little juggle.

Glancing over her shoulder one last time, as if she were making sure he was still behind her, Halibel turned her gaze back around and continued onwards, a giant sword, or really a lack thereof one, resting upon her back. The sword was.. unique. It was pale white in color, and the blade looked like a drawing of a sword that had yet to really be colored in. It looked more like the skeleton of a thick, broadsword than anything else. It rested high upon her shoulder blades, as if it were more decoration than a fighting tool.
Halibel turned her head every so often into different directions, as if trying to listen for something, or otherwise.
"Do you have any other questions?" she asked after a long pause of silence.

Xenneth had looked up glancing towards Halibel. He had tilted his head to his right shoulder, away from her as if he was trying to hide the fact he was. His face had told the truth as it always did with his meek manner. His lips pressed tightly until the crooked into a small frown. He had quickly scampered to the side of Halibel and before he knew it and stood in front of her as he had let his curiously little eyes glance towards her in a bit of worry.
"Halibel...what exactly are you?"
He placed his cards on the table as it would seem. He was trying to shy away from something he was tempted to ask all the time, and now he had the moment to put it out, he did for his kept and shied little life.
"I heard that fox. She called you a 'White Shinigami' but I don't even know what those are. So....what are you?"

The tall, dark skinned woman looked down at the boy and couldn't resist a smile that hid behind her upraised collar. It was kinda cute how curious he was and how brave he waas trying to be.
"An Arrancar. Espada Dos, Halibel," she said, giivng a slight nod, as if she were formally introducing herself rather politely at that.
"A white shinigami is.. a stretch of the truth of what we are. We were Hollows that gained the power of a Shinigami. So, we indeed are 'white shinigamai', yet not.."
