[Compile] Ulquiorra, Lori, Yammy, (Il Forte)
"For now?" Ulquiorra watched as Hanatarou interacted with the others. The shinigami was trying, sincerely trying to help. The fact that he did not act as if he were superior to the others helped. The only thing that put him above the arrancar was Adaro's orders right now.

"For now, we accept him as Adaro-sama's aide. She has given her orders. We will obey them as we do in any circumstance," he looked at the other three at his side, "If he shows any sign of defecting, we will treat him as any traitor to our ranks would be treated."

He drew a slow breath, as if not only resolving himself, but resolving the wills of all of his siblings, "He has killed at our side and, until the time comes when he refuses his duty as the last shinigami did, we will allow him the privilege of fighting as our ally."

So THAT'S what the little shinigami had done. Lori eyed Hanatarou with new respect. That took balls. She could never kill Adaro just to get the enemy to trust her.

But she'd definitely be willing to kill Il Forte. Not that she'd be able to, but she would definitely be willing to. This captain chick wasn't his MAIN leader, was she? So maybe what he did wasn't the most impressive thing.

She snorted at Ulquiorra's last words. "Like we really have a choice," she said.

Ulquiorra's decision simplified things for Yammy, who nodded slowly. He could see the logic, solid and flawless compared to that which he could have concluded or heard from the others. Yammy accepted it and would uphold it as the final word from one of the two he deferred to.

...three that he would have to make himself remember. This Hanatarou would have that, by default of the decision.

Yammy shifted his massive frame, getting to his feet as though in slow motion, muscles that had tensed over the past few hours aching in addition to the wounds that had to be healed. Provided with the verdict, there stood little reason to resist the healing skills that had been offered and were possessed by this awkward ally. Ulquiorra had also advised him to do so earlier, a directive that he could now follow-through with.

...but not until he had taken care of the rash statement from Lori.

Yammy might have been indecisive a moment before, but now that he had heard Ulquiorra's decision on the matter, his mind was made. "Watch your mouth and who you're using it against," he grumbled, glowering at her in defence of his companion.
