Wandering Far From Home

Yysara really hadn't explored the tower and bringing Aito to the place had really exposed her lack of knowledge on it. So once she had some free time and her Master had had nothing for her to do... the woman set off to learn as much as she was allowed.

She had been warned off of areas by thralls already, but the fraccion had merely bowed and spoke softly to them to explain she was learning before leaving. It seemed she wouldn't get in trouble for aimless wandering at least...

Nearing a section and floor she knew was part of the Septimo's realm, her curious crimson eyes took in the place as her snakes hung from her wrists, out of her chest and around her neck. One was even resting on top of her head as she looked around, they being just as curious as she was.

With a new stock of medicine, Luca let out a quiet breath; he had plenty now so there was no need to make any more for awhile now. That was good, while he wasn't particularly bothered...it was a hassle having to draw his own blood to create it.

Now though he had some free time...

As usual, his eyes ventured over to the area he usually put his violin case or any other instrument when he went about doing work, but...

Ah, that's right...

He'd left them in his own room and had come here without one. He'd need to head back to his room then, that was fine...his business here was done for the most part.

Moving from the table, he headed towards the door and stepped out back into the halls.

Yysara was walking down a particularly unmemorable patch of hallway when she saw a door open in the path ahead of her. She halted her walk, blinked and noticed it...was the Septimo?

Giving him a low bow, her snakes slithered into her uniform with surprising quickness. She...knew next to nothing about him. His looks mainly, and his job as the doctor... She'd never have actually expected to see him here, wasn't he reclusive and stuck to his rooms other than baths?

She held her bow, expecting him to walk past her and continue with his life.

Luca stopped, looking down at the woman bowing to him. She was...he had never seen her face before, well...he could hardly see her face right now at all considering her bowing position.

"Is there something I can assist you with?" He questioned; if she were here though, maybe she needed something? He had to expect others coming from time to time, even if it was rare...someone may need his help with something such as an injury they couldn't fix on their own.

"..." Yysara was confused. She hadn't...needed anything. She was just bowing to a superior as was proper.

She lifted her body up, standing straight and tilting her head to the side. A little bit of confusion shone in the crimson eyes but she just shook her head as she replied. "No, Septimo."

Yysara stood there, making sure he had enough room to pass by her.

She...didn't need anything?

Luca was quite for a moment after she'd spoken before giving a nod, if she didn't need anything then that was that. He still had no idea what she was doing here, but...it wasn't like it was against any rules for her to be here...so it was fine.

"If you need me for anything, feel free to let me know; I'll be in my chambers then..." Saying that, he walked along, after a step or two past Yysara he briefly muttered to himself about what instrument he'd use today. Violin...Cello...

Yysara nodded turning as the Septimo left her side and moving along the hallway again. However without her paying attention, focusing more on the fact that the superior was behind her and muttering about instruments, one of her snakes slipped from her clothing.

Luka, the blue coral snake and one of her friendliest, slithered softly along the floor in the man's wake as Yysara rounded a corner unawares. She wanted to hear him play so she would.

Luca stepped into his room, unaware of the snake following behind him. He'd decided on violin this time, he'd recently played cello not long ago...so he'd focus on it later.

Carefully removing it from the case, he took the proper position and began playing. It was becoming routine for him to play so often, but he didn't mind...he enjoyed it after all, so there was nothing to concern himself over.

Luka followed Septimo with a snakey grin, her tongue flicking out every so often as she snuck into the room behind the arrancar. Slithering under something, she hid for a few moments as he took out the instrument. Luka had no idea what it was, but Yysara would know she felt.

As he began playing though, the snake moved out from her hiding place and up to the man. Her head swayed with the vibrations from the instrument as she lifted up, pleasant to the odd and definitely not normal snake...

Luca was rather concentrated on playing, though after awhile he noticed a movement out of the corner of his eye. That was...

Hm?

This was...a snake?

He didn't stop his playing, as it seemed the creature...enjoyed it, but this was strange...violins were not meant for snake charming...or he had believed that so at least.

Luka swayed and then did a little circle dance around herself. She was enjoying the music/vibrations a lot before she felt a familiar vibration in the floor...Yysara coming back down the hall at a quick pace. If a snake could look panicked, this one did before it shot forward and slithered up the Septimo's pants.

She was not here! Not at all!

Luca was hardly one for showing his emotions clearly on his face, but for a short moment...surprise crossed his features as the snake...darted up his pants; what...

Why was it?

It had caused him to stop playing, as he was unsure of what it was doing. Snakes...they were not supposed to react in such a way when charmed! This was not normal behavior!

A knock sounded mere moments after the music stopped, the snake curled up near the top of his calf and hiding there. Yysara stood outside of the door, annoyance visible only to her snakes as she stood there almost impatiently. Luka had left her...to bother the Septimo it seemed.

She was not pleased! That was a superior! You did not just...just do that!

Hearing the knock, Luca approached the door and opened it to see the woman he'd spoken to earlier. Now that he looked at her, she had...rather snake-like features, did that mean the snakes came from her?

The one...with him seemed to be in hiding...?

"Yes?" He questioned, he could not be sure with certainty if the snake was hers though...so first, he should find out from her.

Yysara's eyes went down to the quivering snake in Luca's pants. She blinked as her eyes trailed back up the septimo's body before she bowed. "I believe Luka...has taken up residence in your pants. Could I have my snake back please, Septimo? You have my deepest apologies."

There was much to talk about...alone. Very alone. Where she could berate the silly snake for its actions. It could have died! She radiated a calm fury, mostly caused by her own worry over the creature than anything really.

"Lu...ka?" Luca looked down where the snake was hiding, though it seemed Yysara had noticed it; so it was her snake. "It's...alright, I believe they were enjoying...my instruments, they caused no harm."

He should...give her her snake back, but...how? He should just...remove it from his leg?

"...Her name. Luka." Yysara nodded as her head rose back up, slowly since the Septimo seemed to have...with his forgiveness...given permission. She blinked her crimson eyes up at him with her head tilted again and then it fell to looking at the still quivering snake. Luka knew she was in trouble...this would be hard...

"I see... She is friendly. She must have wanted to hear." Snakes heard things oddly, so she wasn't sure how much the blue coral could enjoy it but it seemed to like the man. Kneeling in front of him, she gently reached out to his leg though she didn't touch him. "Permission, Septimo..."

"I see..." He had been momentarily confused due to...well, the snake and his name being...more than a little similar.

His eyes moved down to where the snake was as Yysara's did, and he nodded at her response; "She seemed to enjoy it..."

Luca quieted again as Yysara kneeled in front of him, reaching for his leg where the snake was but not yet touching him; "Alright..."

It seemed the snake did not want to come loose, and he was unsure of trying to remove her himself, even if she was friendly...he was unsure of how to hold a snake such as this one and wouldn't want to cause injuries.

Yysara just blinked at that response... the snake had liked it? Luka was an odd one...

The snake stopped quivering as soon as Luca gave the okay, Yysara reading its actions before it knew it would... and she reached out and held the snake to his skin while her other moved up to his belt. She undid it, tugged the pants down and grabbed the tail of the squirming snake that stopped all of its movements as soon as she had it.

Blinking more, she pulled it out as it went limp in shame and then stuffed it into her cleavage as its siblings wrapped around her. Reaching up with both hands, she tugged the Septimo's pants back up and buttoned them up before also belting them for the man. "Thank you for your cooperation."

She was...shaking in a bit of fear, wondering if he would be upset and kill her where she stood now due to her actions... He had said it was fine, but he was a strong Espada...while she was merely a fraccion. Not all were kind like Master, she knew this...

Luca was quiet as Yysara went about getting her snake back, not seeming to care as she went to remove his pants, there really was no other way to get to the creature...

When she had gotten the snake, stuffing it away, he continued to be silent as she fixed his pants; he...could have done that, but he supposed that was alright.

After she'd given her thanks she seemed...scared? She was shaking ever so slightly...

"Welcome...It's alright, I was...concerned about getting her myself, as I was unsure the proper actions to take. I would not have wanted to cause harm..."

"...Ah I see." It seems...he was a nice Espada. Yysara immediately relaxed and gave him a respectful nod. "Thank you. They are more delicate than they appear..."

"...She really did like the music?" Turning to leave, the snake woman stopped as curiosity overtook her. Her snake had enjoyed...music? Could they even?

'Luka is one of the smarter ones. Its possible but odd.' Pastel was oddly solemn and slithered out of the cleavage to settle around her neck once the possible danger had passed.

Blinking a few times, introductions were in order. "I am...Yysara, the Tricera's fraccion."

Luca nodded; "She seemed to be swaying as I played...she was not bothering anything, so I continued doing so...soon after that she'd gone into hiding..."

It had seemed the snake had enjoyed it, that was what he understood from how she'd reacted while he'd been playing earlier anyway. He had not known you could charm snakes with a violin...

At her introduction, he nodded; so she was the Tricera's fraccion... He knew the Tricera also lived in the tower, but they had rarely crossed paths...

"I'm Luca, Septimo Espada..." He replied, giving his own name as well as his already known title.

"I see...she did enjoy it then..." This was most odd...she wanted to see it in action again. However that would be the epitome of rude to request an Espada to play just for her experiments... "She sensed me coming back once I knew she was gone. She must have hoped I'd not notice her..."

"Luca...?" A tiny bit of shock showed on her face as her eyes widened just so, the same name as her snake! The snake itself popped its orange head up in shock out of her sleeve before it was yanked back inside.

Luca and Luka...

Luca nodded, to both of Yysara's statements; "I see, and yes...My name is Luca."

Both Yysara and the snake had seemed surprised, but he supposed that was to be expected, considering she'd just told him the snake was named Luka. For the most part, they shared a name which was a rather surprising coincidence.

So she had not misheard. Yysara gave a slow nod before deciding to speak of her request since they were both here... and she really rather wanted to see how her snake reacted...

"Can you show me once more? How Luka reacted, if that is acceptable to you, Septimo." She wanted to see but would not be rude or bother someone as important as this.
