"My lady," Ulquiorra murmured, "wouldn't be wise to wait on Aizen-sama before delivering any punishment if it is Aizen-sama who called him?" he lowered his head deferentially as she turned her glare on him. "I do not mean to imply you're in the wrong, Lady Azayaka."
He glanced back to Vacanze when she turned around again. This represented a puzzle much like Orihime's reasoning. He thought he understood all. He looked to the side as he considered a simpler way to put the question to the Seventh. "A mountain doesn't bend for wind," he stated slowly, turning back to Vacanze. "Nor should we for something that will die long before us."

You bended for Aizen... as did I, was what he wanted to say. But he knew it wouldn't be wise to do so. Instead he said, "I will do what I please with my existence. Even it is considered a waste by others. It is my decision."

Azayaka hit him on the back of the head with a roar, sending him face first into the floor. "You insolent bastard! You seduced me, then betrayed me for that wench! And this is the answer you have for it!? She's nothing! She's a play thing for my father and Ichimaru! A fuck toy! She's Ichimaru's pet, and yet she's more desirable to you than me?!!!"
She pulled him back up by his hood and raised her fist back, violet energy gathering around her fist. She was about to cave his head in when Ulquiorra stopped her, grabbing her wrist.

The Cuatro held her wrist in a firm hold. "My Lady, calm yourself. Aizen will come soon," he murmured.
Azayaka snarled, tearing away from his grip and slapped him. "How dare you get in my way? Don't you know who I am?"
"I apologize," Ulquiorra offered in that same monotone voice. He bowed on one knee. "It didn't look like you were going to stop, and-" he paused, unsure of himself.
"What?!" she snapped.
"Such unrestrained rage doesn't become you," he stated. Azayaka blinked.
Ulquiorra closed his eyes. Maybe he wouldn't understand. However, for a while there, it seemed he had found someone else besides Aizen in the Seventh espada who he could see as worthy of his notice. Now, it appeared as if he could have been wrong. Was Vacanze mere trash as well as all the rest? He stiffened his shoulders, feeling a strange reluctance to label the redheaded espada as such.

Azayaka stepped up to Ulquiorra and grabbed him by the collar, pulling him up towards her. "Speak sense Cuatro. Explain your words." She narrowed her eyes at him. "Do you mean to say that you have bonded with this piece of garbage? Or something else? Explain quick before I do the same to you for back talking me as I am going to do to Vacanze for betraying me."

Vacanze caught Ulquiorra's eyes and gave him a stern, almost empty look, save for something embedded deep within that he knew only Ulquiorra would see.
I am still myself. I have merely found a purpose greater than being a simple follower.
Vacanze hoped that Ulquiorra would choose his words carefully with Azayaka. He knew how she could be. Espada or not, if he angered her further, neither of them would walk out of the throne room in once piece.

Ulquiorra's eyes narrowed. "Despair has no bonds," he stated immediately. He caught Vacanze's look but ignored it, lowering his eyes from Azayaka as he continued. "I apologize for being obscure, my lady. As the only daughter of Aizen-sama, an attack of rage such as this doesn't become you. Such a revenge will only feed the hollow inside you. And without control," he paused then elaborated, "your actions will only make your existence more painful."

Inside her, the hollow rumbled and purred in agreement with the Cuatro's words. She blinked hard, trying to bring herself back in the moment. When her eyes met Ulquiorra's empty ones, she felt her hand loosening its grip on his coat. She released him and stepped back.
"Wise choice of words." She turned away from him. "Rise, Cuatro."

Ulquiorra did as ordered and rose, adjusting his jacket with a couple flicks of his hand. He looked to the empty throne and placed his hands back in his pockets, eyes rolling on the marble beneath him. He closed his eyes and waited.

Aizen walked in on high standing next to his throne as he looked down on the small group below him. Vacanze on his knees, Ulquiorra with his back to both Vacanze and Azayaka. Azayaka in a huff her arms crossed over her stomach and looking across the room.
"It seems I have missed the commotion." Aizen said his eyes still looking between the three.

"Septima is trying my patience and self-control more and more by the second," Azayaka snarled. "He need to be reminded of his place."
She could almost hear Vacanze rolling his eyes. She resisted the urge to dig her stiletto heel into his spine.

Vacanze sighed and looked up at Aizen. "Forgive me, my lord, but I was under the impression that the relationship between me and Lady Azayaka was merely out of our need of each other. She needed me to quiet her hollow and I desired her body. I wasn't aware that our contract meant that I could not enjoy other women." He looked back at her over his shoulder. "I believe she is taking this out of context."

Ulquiorra stayed silent, not sure if he should offer any opinion in this matter.

Aizen looked from Vacanze to his daughter and smirked. He spoke but not directly to any of them. "It seems my daughter has gotten her feelings crushed. Being an only child she is not used to sharing." He step further out from his throne and spoke directly to Azayaka.
"Don't saddle yourself to one man, my dear." His hand then raised motioning the whole of the palace. "There are many worthy males here in Las Noches that you can feed your desires on." He smirked and turned away from her stepped back toward his throne. "You should learn to be more like Yumiko and Kita. They have no issues with sharing their men."

Azayaka narrowed her eyes, not necessarily to her father, but out of anger. "Forgive me, Father, but I care nothing for that bitch Kita. She's been nothing but trouble since she got here. If she didn't harbor the seraph--if you didn't have need of her--I would take her life in the most horrendously painful way imaginable without hesitation." She looked away, cringing. "As for Yumiko, she only has eyes for you. She has to share because you find pleasure with other women besides her, but I'm sure if she had it her way she would want you to be with her only."
She then glared at Vacanze. "I was perfectly fine until this bastard came around! I desired nothing from men, except the leadership of my father and lord! Now he's left me with these insatiable feelings of lust! And for what?! I'd rather have suffered through my hollow's torment!" Her entire body shook as she clenched her hands into fists. Her eyes stung, but she refused to cry in front of Vacanze, Ulquiorra and her father.
