[perfeccion]

No, actually! [he seems OVERLY CHEERFUL ABOUT THAT] Which is why I need to study that pup more closely, when I have a proper lab.

[justonezero]

Can you actually get one of those?!

[perfeccion]

I asked. They won't give it to me. [pout] But Mr. Nanase, rest assured; I do not intend to spend the rest of eternity in the belly of this strange, hotel-shaped beast. I will escape -- but I must unlock the secrets of this place first.

[justonezero]

So that's why you haven't killed it yet?

[perfeccion]

What, the Resort? I'm not sure I could. [he taps his chin] But I haven't tried... [he doesn't realize he means the dog]

[justonezero]

And the dog.

[perfeccion]

[mmmm.... Szayel takes a moment to compose himself and... think about how he's going to say this] Mr. Nanase. I... understand that you are traumatized by what happened to you. [a pause] That said, the newborn barghest is too valuable a specimen to simply destroy. I promise to keep it away from you.

[justonezero]

Isn't it dangerous for the others?

If you don't kill it, you could lock it up to make sure no one else gets fed to it, either.

[His death is- fine. It happened, and as he knew, he was useless to the very end. And that's fine.

But allowing the same fate to befall someone else? No. That cannot be permitted.]

[perfeccion]

Is the puppy dangerous? The newborn, three pound, can't even reliably change between spirit and physical forms baby wolf? [he says it with all the condescension one might expect] No. The only reason that it was able to feed on your body at all is because the adult allowed it to. If the puppy weren't here, the barghest would simply feed itself instead. The adult will kill, no matter what, and there isn't much I can do to stop it.

[he sighs and pushes up his glasses]

However. I will do my best to keep it in my room on Thursday nights.

[justonezero]

It won't grow into anything dangerous to them, either?

[Since apparently the thing sprang out fully formed and all that.

He has to make sure.]

[perfeccion]

My dear boy, any wild animal can be tamed.

... And if it does become a problem, well. It is part me. And I would never allow something I created to run amok like that.

[AKA it was probably born with a fucking self destruct bug if we're being honest]

[justonezero]

[He continues to stare at Szayel for a moment longer before...]

...Okay. So if it does cause problems, you'll kill it.

[If that's the case... That's probably good enough.]

[perfeccion]

Correct.

[but the "problems" will be defined by him, and not by Nanase, or anyone else. But it's better than nothing?]

[justonezero]

[He'll accept it for now.

And if things go south he'll probably go running to Ichigo, honestly.]

Then I'll just stay away.]

[perfeccion]

[Ichigo can and will protect you, Yoshi, don't worry]

Probably the wisest choice.
