Summary; Aizen briefs his newest arrived arrancar about her place in the big scheme.
Log;

Aizen was waiting on a small veranda that extended from his room in the Underground. It allowed him to look out over the dingy landscape and keep an eye on goings-on. He held a relaxed pose in his usual "working" attire, with a pot and two cups of tea in front of him and one leg crossed over the other.

"You may enter, Rori," he said, eyes closed as if napping, "I've been waiting."

Golden eyes bored straight into her, as Aizen allowed his reiatsu to do the talking.

"I will do as I please, Rori. Never forget your place. I ALLOW you to sit at this table with me. Don't squander that privilege."

His reiatsu almost sent her, boneless, out of the chair. As it was, her hands clenched, white-knuckled, on the arms to keep her upright. Her voice, so noisy before, was gone. All she could do was bow her head to him as she tried to keep from gasping.

His reiatsu receded and a calm smile appeared on his face again.

"As to other business, you've probably noticed Orihime Inoue coming and going. She is a guest here, unlike my plans for her in Hueco Mundo. Her healing powers are god-like, as is the buffer of insurance she gives us."

She sank back in the chair as his reiatsu faded to tolerable levels. It took several moments for her to catch her breath as she listened to him. ".... ah... yes. I've seen Inoue-san, but I don't believe she's seen me yet. If she needs any assistance, I'll offer my help, but I will not try to restrain her to the area if she leaves."

"You'll find her quite amicable as humans go, even she isn't terrible perceptive and quite naive'. The webs are slowly tightening to make her more dependent on us."

"Then things are going as you originally planned, even though the location has changed. I'm certain you're pleased. I'll refrain from baiting the Privaron too much in her presence if she's so naive..."

You'll also find her invaluable, should you become injured. Do typical "sisterly" things with her, if you wish. It will further solidy her positive view of us, and better keep her in our corner.

You see, the Kurosaki boy I told you all about recently broker her heart. How terrible.

".... I wouldn't see how injuries would happen to me. I am merely your messenger, unless I was called to serve one of the others... but if that is what you wish, that is what I'll do." Her lips curled into a slight frown. "Humans are such filth that they'll hurt their own like that. That's why it's good that the family doesn't have such things to worry about. The loyal ones, anyway."

"The heart, for both humans and shinigamis, is a difficult thing. You don't remember being human, but even you more than likely had similar feelings as one."

There's no way she would ever admit to such things. Stil, she cleared her throat and looked down at her hands, still holding onto the arms of the chair. "I would prefer to think that I was above such weakness, but I'm certain you're right, Aizen-sama."

"Do you have any other pressing queries about how certain things in the city work?"

"The Privaron informed me about the curses and such, and I've heard that death here isn't true; and I've also heard word of a non-agression pact. I'm sure I'll have other questions, but for now, I'm unable to think of anything else."

"In that case, I bid you good evening, Rori."

He reclined again, closing his eyes.

"Wake me in an hour. I have an appointment in the city."

"As you wish, Aizen-sama."

Without another word, she rose and cleared her still full teacup away, then moved to take her customary place behind him, just to one side. She would do as ordered. Always.
