#which you can image just roaming around an empty desert just… hiding under sand dunes waiting for a hollow to come along

Delyth Ophelia objects to Aizen’s idea of kidnapping Orihime, because it’s so obvious to them that this child is not a threat to the Espada (or Arrancar), and it would just come and bite them in the ass because quote: “This Kurosaki boy will come after us. He and his friends would tear down the world if it meant finding her. It will be your arrogance that gets us all killed, and paradise will never be attained. Is abducting a human girl, let alone one of Kurosaki’s friends really worth such a risk?”

Aizen just, waves away Delyth’s concerns because from his perspective the Espada have the greater advantage over the Soul Society AND Ichigo’s tag tag group of friends.

Delyth unamusedly says: “Go ahead Aizen. Do what you will, my opinion as your bodyguard will always be obsolete. But don’t come crying to me with crocodile tears when the Cavalry stampedes on our doorstep.”

They’re not exactly looking out for Orihime, rather they are more concerned with the lives of their fellow Espada and Fraccion, and fears what will happen to all of them if they lose this fight against the Soul Society. They already have built up so much respect for their fellow associates, even if this is a temporary ally ship, it means a lot to them to know that they aren’t alone.

To them abducting Orihime is a waste of time and resources, and while this opinion does soften when they see Orihime’s abilities in person, they do still believe that abducting her is going to be their undoing for all the things they’ve achieved so far. That’s what they ultimately fear, their comrades lives and losing ground on the progress of their goals.

#crocodile tears is an intentional phrase because Dyleth’s animal fraccion form has crocodile features. #kind of like how grimmjow is associated with a Panther or harribel is with a shark. Delyth is a crocodile #which you can image just roaming around an empty desert just… hiding under sand dunes waiting for a hollow to come along #only to be snatched up and killed via death roll like real life crocodiles do to take down larger prey. #just imagine that lying in wait in hueco mundo… horrifying thought. obviously it means they’re able to conceal their spiritual pressure + #cloak their presence in general but like… yeah it’s like no wonder what Aizen would see value in such an individual #although really delyth is just going along because Aizen promises the impossible #and when they realise that can’t be accomplished they betray him. because they see their role as a bodyguard as obsolete #if the other person cannot uphold their end of the bargain #shallow rambles #bleachposting #queue awaits you at the garden of madness #[p]: orihime inoue | supportive cinnamon roll #[p]: grimmjow jaegerjaquez | to the bone #🪦 | The Bodyguard #bleach self insert: delyth ophelia
