"So...you're, like a Hollow?" he had a surprised look on his face that screamed in horror even though he had fallen silent. He had a deep fear of those "things" whenever he thought about their faces hungering for souls, and over all, they were what caused his incident in the past.
However, his face softened.
"I see. So you're different." He had placed his hands behind his back smiling and letting out a small giggle with his lips pressed tightly not wanting it to escape like some girl. "Usually, I'd be afraid. Hollows have attacked me a lot because they want...something from me. I think they want to eat me because of this strange power that's within me." he had said sliding his thumb across his chest in a sad and depressed way. It had left as quick as it came as he lifted his head smiling at Halibel once more.
"...but I'm not worried about you. You did save me after all, so I think I can trust you if you need anything Halibel." His expression happy and calm being able to say such a thing, but it was also embarassing. He side stepped out of Halibels way with a quick side step as he went back to twiddling his fingers while standing by her side.
"Oh! Uh...I didn't mean to obstruct your path for something so silly! Shall we continue?" he asked.

Halibel gave a short nod to his first question of being a Hollow. She was, but wasn't.
Tilting her head slightly as he spoke, Halibel watched his thumb slid along his chest and fell silent as he went on to say he wasn't worried about her. It was both a very brave and a foolish thing to say, she admired it. Halibel had only saved the boy because she felt the strange power trying to be supressed and wanted it for herself. She wasn't entirely a bad person, just someone who is serious and strict, and follows orders without question.
"How are you feeling? Are you tired?" she replied to his question with a question of her own.

"No, not at all!" A smile and shut eyes of pure kindness and innocence, but nothing more.
There was no definite thought behind that question. He just felt he would slow her down if he said he was. He didn't want to seem like a draw back for her. He couldn't be that for a friend because of fear, and because his courteous sacrificial reasoning wouldn't let him be. If anything meant helping someone who he could admire for a good trait, then so be it. Without a second though, he would. Barely knew her? He didn't care. He knew a little to base whether or not his kind gestures were worth it.
He had taken a few steps keeping his hands behind his back as he stood at her shoulder side and looked up to her. "I'm just fine. There's no need to concern about me. I've walked a lot in the past. It's quite refreshing."
He had to reject all the muscles used in a frown for the sake of the excess worry. He reminded himself of work at home at the family flower shop. It was depressing to think about it, so he didn't. They were like flashbacks that lasted mere seconds for the sake of comprimising his false posiivity. He had taken that moment hoping she would accept it his rouse for the sake of continuing without dwelling on his concerns. They weren't hers after all.

"Very well," she said as she immediantly lurched forward in a casual-paced gait, falling silent again, whether in thought or to just listen to the surroundings was unsure. Halibel walked with some unknown purpose, it seemed, as she moved onwards, her deep blue eyes scanning the surroundings even though it didn't look more than her simply admiring the exotic strange beauty of the forestry around them.
Her biggest concern was to just get out of this "Paradise" and return to Hueco Mundo to continue Master Aizen's plans. Nothing more. Until then, she'd just go on and protect the boy now that he was her Fraccion, and he had such a strange feeling of reiatsu she had to keep him safe.
Which means she'd eventually draw her blade..

The silence was awkward. He didn't exactly adore moments like this. They were just as he thought they were, awkward. Still though, to think of tipping this person's patience was a thought that didn't cross his mind. He didn't do it, and by doing that, he kept his lips pressed as if they were sealed by tape by this person's very aura. She didn't seem dangerous, just the type that really didn't need anyone else and was a loner. So why choose to give powers to him? It was puzzling. He could only ask in his mind...
"Am I here for a reason?"
His head lowered slightly and face placing in a red warm blush as if he was honored by the thought that someone chose him for something, even if it was a last resort. One would consider him useless if not a family member. It was probably something else that made him so fond of the Arrancar's actions, even if it wasn't a big deal to her, it was to him as his fingers had ran along one another as they were placed in his lap while following along. He didn't even think about the silence anymore, just...the thoughts.
Now the situation seemed more awkward than before to him.

The Espada glanced behind her and stopped suddenly, and the only words that emptied from hr mouth was "Duck."
As soon as the word was uttered, Halibel spun around and severed the head off of a kaibutsu who had been following them for quite some time with her drawn blade, wanting to make quick work of the thing.
Giving a quick jerk of her white blade, and was clean of blood, she sheathed it upon her back and let her arms fall gently to her side, looking to Xenneth "It's alright now. Don't look though if you are uneasy at heart."

Xenneth had heard those words making it so that he quickly ducked his head in alarm. He could hear the blade pierce the air as well as the sound of a swift and easy slaughter that made his body shiver as he looked upward to Halibel to see her expression. She had warned him with her next set of words causing him to quickly stamp to his feet forward and leaping behind her in a quick pounce not wanting to see. He peeked from behind her easily even if she had spoken thinking it wasn't that bad.
...it was.
He had quickly reeled his head back behind her as he turned his back facing hers. His lips had pressed once more quicering to keep his heart calm and back in sync with a calm mind that was now in chaos witnissing more death and blood shed, but overall, he knew he was probably saved again.
He breathed, swallowed, and then breathed heavily a bit more as he didn't even notice his reitsu levels had peeked from the stress giving off some energy and small chain exposed on his chest. He noticed it reaching and pressing upon it to covet it.
"I...I guess I should thank you again...Halibel."
He had removed his hand as he said that. His heart and energy coming to a calm and those small links of a chain now gone with it. He was in control again...for now.

Halibel never blinked once as she watched Xenneth duck behind her for safety and watched even more carefully as she saw him cover his chest and the exposed chain. It peaked her interest ever so slightly. A Plus? His reiatsu certainly didn't feel like it, felt human, for that was what he was.. or at least so she thought.
"Maybe we should move away from this spot and to a place where you can calm down. Your reiatsu level is like the ocean, coming in and fading out.." she said, though it sounded more like a command than a suggestion.

”M-my Reitsu?”
The young boy questioned a bit puzzled at the term. If he could recall, then that was close to the meaning of energy that was drawn from the body from a spiritual manifestation. However, he wasn’t aware that the power that was rested in him was called that. He wasn’t sure what Halibel was concerned about of it, but if she advised it, he would agree and surely did with a nod of his head and a admirable smile believing in her advice…command…whichever it was, but he saw it as advice.
He followed her command as he had walked to the edge of the woods taking advantage of his frontal lead seeing he was following orders. The small clearing that he stopped at had some sunlight shining and breaking through the treetops leaving him perfectly satisfied with the exquisite surrounding and scenery. It was one where Halibel and himself could see from all sides if they were to be in danger, but a good seat was that fine rock’s flat structure that sat there in the opening making him walk over and sit down while keeping his gentle hand resting across his chest where his ability resonated from his up draft of energy. The moment that happened was quite literally breath taking.

Halibel followed silently behind him, watching both him and the surroundings as her aarms lazily draped by her sides.
Entering the beautiful clearing, Halibel's deep blue eyes scanned the area quickly, in the blink of an eye. Watching Xenneth chose his spot to sit down, the intimidating Espada crossed her arms beneath her massive chest and closed her eyes. Her own unique form of relaxing as she stood there cclose to Xenneth, as a silent guardian perhaps.
"I have told you about myself. Your turn.." she said softly, as if her voice were any loudder, she'd scare any timid creature away.

"Oh! That's right! I'm so sorry! Really rude of me."
He had shot out the words as if he was begging for forgivness. It seemed like he had skipped all about himself trying to learn about Halibel who was suspicious to him. He had learned enough to trust her however as he had given a weak smile and stared forward with the Arrancar standing by like a body guard, even though he knew he was more of a servant to a master at their current standing.
"Well...I don't really have much to say that's interesting..." his gentle voice said modestly, "Umm...I'm eighteen and I live in Tokyo, Japan. I occasionally come to Karakura Town to see my Auntie Bloom and Cousin Cheza! A matter of fact, I was on a trip staying with them..." he had said lowering his head saddened that he had brought it up.
"I was feeling a bit lonely, so I wanted to see my cousin Cheza. I'm kind of an only child now." he had said with his blue eyes showing half closed as he stared towards the ground stroking his foot across the grass terrain. "I came to the graveyard to see my sister Rosaline. She was in an accident a while back, but when I came I found some sort of portal and a voice asked me from the other side if I wanted to see Rosaline and Tillus again, and when I walked into it...I was here."
He had paused as his feet was still. Silence coming from him as he stared emptily towards his feet.
"Hallibel...my brother and sister aren't here...aren't they?" he had asked already feeling like a fool.

Upon the question of his siblings being here, Halibel glanced over to him, siletn at first. She really didn't know who his siblings were, nor would she particularly care normally.. but he was a special case.
"I do not know anyone by those names. What do they look like?" the might Espada asked calmly, her deep eyes lazily watching him, as if she were half asleep or bored. She spoke again, slowly this time, her voice smooth and soft, "But then again.. if they were here, they would either be alive, dead, undead, shinigami, beast-demon, or Arrancar."
Okay. Not so narrow choices to be, but she felt as though it needed to be pointed out anyway.
Uncrossing her arms from beneath her massive chest, Halibel looked around a little longer before she strolled over to Xenneth and sat down on the rock beside him, finally relaxing like a regular person, it seemed.

Xenneth's expression wasn't exactly warm as his eyes had come to that same mesmeric half close. He stared towards the ground most likely starting to realize the truth of the reality. Even when that portal opened to see his brother and sister again, he had further scattered the truth of the matter. They were dead. His lips had pressed once again trying not to muster a frown. For once, he succeeded, but the smile he had was weak.
"I was so caught up with trying to find them..." he had said with a slight twist of his lips.
"Halibel, I think I've been a fool. I know in reality...my brother and sister are dead." he had said as he frowned picking his head up and setting his eyes to make contact with the Arrancar's for once. It was something he felt like he had to do thus far since he had after all in truth...
"I think...I think you've wasted your time on me. I know I'm here only because I can't accept reality, that now that I'm the only sibling left alive...I'm alone." he had admitted. His hands reaching and grabbing at his arms as if he was searching for warmth from that cold and depressing truth that came from his lips.

Halibel looked to Xenneth silently, her lips pursing softly in thought and she tilted her head and spoke, saying the same thing once again, "What did they look like? It's a posibility that they were.. transformed into something beyond a Plus. A shinigami.. or an Arrancar.."
She really didn't like inspiring hope in others, as it really was the opposite of what she was going to do in the long run.. but she felt the need to entertain the boy.. and the fact that Halibel had a gut feeling she may actually know one of the two siblings.. just not sure which of the two..
The dark skinned Espada reclined slightly, putting her weight into her left hand as she leaned into it on the rock and lightly, with her right hand, reached out and caressed his cheek tenderly, as if to try and cheer him up, "Time is never wasted. Only used in a roundabout way to the get to the right solution."

"...into...something else?"
That thought somehow scared him a little. Not because the fear of them being dead, but the thought of him actually not wanting them to be anything else but resting peacefully. He had swallowed deeply trying to figure out whether or not he should speak, but he was tempted to. He lowered his head slightly only to raise it once more as his eyes had stared forward in the distance as if he was hesitant. He was no longer.
"My brother...is too far gone." he had begun to say. "...but just recently, I could remember my sister." he had said smiling weakly. The memories were sweet as they were painful. "She had orange hair and these beautiful blue eyes. She was always smiling and Rosie always kept a rose in her head!" he said with a kind of cheer in his voice resisting to laugh.
Looking over his shoulder, he presented the Arrancar with his smile. "I called my sister Rosaline, Rosie, because she called me Xenny. Do your brothers or sisters give you nicknames too Halibel?" his question going off track as he was curious. His innocent smile only breaking the mold of his recent sadness retaining his usual optimistic mood.
