Wolf Among Sheep[Prologue/Open To Alliance]

"Not very hungry at the moment, but I'll eat soon mom, I promise." Theocelese quipped with a smirk, his finger ceasing to slide across the screen and instead, making the motions to exit the gallery. Maybe he drank and smoked too fast, it certainly felt like it. Or had the amusing collection of adorable creatures helped to kill the time that fast? Regardless, the Arrancar turned his attention to Seran, watching the man go through the refrigerator. The question caused a small frown to form on his face. Did he forget to get pineapple juice? He couldn't recall, then again Fuyuki put away most of the groceries away in a haste, and Theocelese hadn't bothered to check the kitchen's fridge since then for anything specific. "If its not in there, I would check behind whatever is in front first and then the kitchen."

There was a silence in the bar for a few moments, but Theocelese couldn't help at laughing at Seran's statement. He understood why such a thing could be thought of him. There was one last puff from his cigarette, and the filter was laid to rest in the nearby ashtray.

"...Yes...Well, what I seek to do is something that 'Not even I can brute force my way through'. Your cause concern, however, is valid. I'm going to the Soul Society, my old friend. Not for conquest...not for sport...but I am searching for the soul of my daughter." Theocelese let this revelation sink into Seran's mind for just a few moments before continuing. "I allowed myself to dirty my honour, and she paid the price for it. I know not what became of her soul, but I cannot sit here in idle fashion any longer. I may not have your technical know-how, but I'm not stupid. The only way I may be able to do this is if I can blend in with the Rukongai populace, and..gods forbid, maybe even as a Shinigami. To feel as one, and fool others into thinking I have evolved in another." Theocelese said with a sense of dread tinged on the last few sentences spoken.

"I know little of you, Seran, but your knowledge has proven invaluable. You have completed my means of being there, and seen and felt as someone who should be in either the Rukongai or Seireitei. I cannot express gratitude in words alone, and hope only in time I can repay this debt. However...what I need now is counsel...besides Shinigami and their battle tactics, the Gotei as a military force, the basics of the Rukongai and Seireitei, I know nothing more of them. Any information you can enlighten me with will help me, as I will be posing as a purified soul. There is a Shinigami I met a few days ago, she...inspired me to take this route, and as far as she knows, the man she would call Okto is knocking on death's door due to cancer. If I were purified, would I remember her? Or anything? What route do I need to take...what is the Rukongai other than potential recruiting grounds for the Gotei...All these things and more, I must know."
