ㅤ( He, himself, crawls into bed, blankets pulled close. For a moment, he looks at their smaller form, before his eyes close. )

ㅤ ( They'll know, if something happens. Everyone would. ) ㅤ ㅤYou may stay on my pillow ... But I'm exusted. ㅤ ㅤ( Way is made to his room, Lyric set gently down at the furstest end of plush pillow. )

ㅤ( They have better people to hear from, anyway. ㅤ ㅤHe pets at the back of their neck with a sigh. ) ㅤ ㅤAre you full ? Content ?

ㅤ( Resting, truthfully - He needs it. )

ㅤ( He does ; but he also, needs his solitude ... )

( Perhaps he was. Friendship was not something he was built for. If they wanted to speak - They'd have to come to him. Finger scratches at the back of their neck as he hums. ) You cannot stay in my room, but yours is kept.

ㅤ( There wasn't a need. If they wanted to talk, they knew where to find Ulquiorra, in any case. A soft hum, as he absently eats. ) ㅤ ㅤI'm going back to bed, after this.

ㅤ( He would hope so ... It is fruit. ) ㅤ How have your partners been ? I've not heard word from Nnoitra since the day he dragged me off.

ㅤ( A chip is broken, halved, and presented to their mouth. ) ㅤ ㅤYou're very bossy, for someone so small.

ㅤ( He's eating just fine ; more than he has, in the past. He reaches cabinet, pulling out a bag of banana chips. ) ㅤ ㅤWill this appease you.

ㅤOh, I most certainly would.

ㅤIf you keep it up, I will drop you in the tub, and watch you try to claw your way out.

ㅤSpare me, won't you. ㅤ ㅤ( He sighs, careful as he pushes blankets from his figure. He's looking a little better - but not by much. ) ㅤ ㅤFine. Let's go eat. Since you will not stop the incessant squeaking.

ㅤYou may throw that attitude in the rubbish bin, and try again. I helped myself to Tesla's food not too long ago, and the remains are in my kitchen.

ㅤ( He's eaten, some. He went to bathe yesterday. ) ㅤ You're being ridiculous. Dramatic, even.

ㅤ( Shoulders hunch, and he immediately grabs them, gentle enough not to squeeze. ) ㅤ ㅤLyric. Honestly.

ㅤ... Yes. I hear you.

ㅤ( Barely a stir. )

Rolling over in bed. He isn't getting up.

ㅤIt'll heal.

ㅤ ( Offering his arm. )

ㅤ' It's well - meaning. Well intended, I believe. I've grown a little gaunt, but I am ... listening. Eating more than the norm. Trying - "trying" to make... friends. '

ㅤHand raises, a polite decline. Drinking always left him ... feeling a bit off. ㅤ ㅤ ' ... I've missed seeing you around, you know. I've been being berated quite a lot, you'd enjoy listening. '

ㅤIt's been some time ; but he'll keep the King company. ㅤ ㅤㅤㅤHappy Valentine's Day.

ㅤHappy Valentine's Day, Lyric.

ㅤI need a nap. That was horrid.

ㅤNo.

ㅤNo. No, I wish that were the case.

ㅤ... ' Gooning? ' Awful. Wretched.

ㅤThe irony is flavorful, that's for certain.

ㅤI have learned the absolute worst word.

ㅤI don't imagine I have a date, or anything similar. It's another day to read.

ㅤ' Hot Date ? '

ㅤA day I will likely, neglect.

ㅤValentine's ...

ㅤGood.

ㅤ...Depends, heavily, on the joke.

ㅤI do not eat bugs. It's important, to me, that you all know that.

Please observe the diagram.

ㅤI do not think so.

ㅤEvery so often, I remember a book so horrendous, I have to lie down.

ㅤNo Bat diagram. Thank goodness.

ㅤ' Jumpscare,' as they say.

ㅤAt any time, I am taken aback by the Fifty Shades trilogy. I will be doing nothing, and that abysmal writing plagues my mind. Awful. Horrible.

ㅤI'm awake. I don't know what happened.

ㅤGood Afternoon.

ㅤ&&. There's a small influx of people coming, so... Hello. 🧍🏽 Welcome to Ulquiorra's Corner. Enjoy your stay. 🫰🏽

ㅤI wonder.

ㅤI do not know what's on this dessert, but I would like at least a pound of it.
