As Much Insight as you can Stomach [Liltotto/Santa]

Ah, she finally had a free day.. She had gotten back to the city the night before, and honestly if she were any other person, she probably would've been too bushed to meet up with Ajora today. Good thing she was no ordinary person and her stamina was ridiculous for somebody like her.

Making her way through the park, she'd see the strange dark haired woman she had grown familiar with over various hang outs, but lately Liltotto seemed to be less unexpressive and dry and more... Slightly more expressive yet still dry. It was a difficult thing to describe - she was never the most expressive person, but most people who were familiar with her would notice a little more life to her than normal.

"Hey 'Jora," She'd call out, waving a raised hand slowly as she approached, eating some kind of granola bar as she'd come to sit, "So what's today's agenda? Chitchat n' chill per usual?"

Lil would shrug, taking a seat next to her and throwing an arm over the back of the bench, "Yeah, that's work for ya. Keepin' watch, doin' service over in America and anywhere else," A clean crunch could be heard from her as another bite was taken from her bar, "It's been relatively peaceful, honestly. Real quiet, apart from the occasional weird ass disturbance. Thanks."

She barely broke from her talking as Ajora had gestured an offer to the cooler, barely considering how the woman could have even acquired it before indulging herself a bit, having the next few things ready to eat on her lap.

"Chick, you and I both know you know the answer to that question," She'd narrow her eyes at Ajora's remark towards the nickname, looking off at all the people just enjoying their time out, some starting to part from the public space.

"Mmm y'know. Existential crisis solving here, emotional resolution there, stuff 'n stuff. Better than i've been in a good while."

Ah Ajora, as deathly curious as always, of course. Perhaps she should've accounted for that before running her mouth around her, but she couldn't just be wide open about the Soul King stuff, either... Blabbing casually about that absolutely would come back to bite her some way or another... How to answer...

"Oh yknow, i'm some unidentifiable creature with an insatiable hunger, sure did live with uncertainty towards that my entire life. But now, i'm okay with just calling myself and just letting myself be human - I practically am and have been for years, anyway."

Yeah, that felt like a good enough answer, "Even if i'm some other thing, I go about and everybody only ever sees me as human. So, yeah, why fight it?"

Lil would only give that theory of what she is a soft shake of the head, "..Nah, don't think that's quite right."

Listening to Ajora's commentary of Santa's connection of others, she'd watch the people of the park gradually disperse. Parents calling their kids to them, groups wrapping up activities, slowly the area around them was growing quieter as her fond eyes looked upon them, "..Sometimes you just have to stop worrying about what you are and take the leap, I suppose," She would bring a hand up to prop her head up on the arm of the bench, soon her eyes returning to Ajora,

" 'Course. It's nice to be able to call myself something, instead of nothing," Golden eyes would look off at her quieting surroundings, "Have somewhere to be, and belong."

Though, her gaze would return to Ajora with the woman's explanation of Santa and her dreams, her expression slightly changing as the woman spoke, before finally resting on that note. She dropped her relaxed position and sat up straight, pulling both arms into her lap as she'd give Ajora a hard look,

"That is not how any civil being should be treated here," Her voice was calm yet firm, "The Vandenreich, and by extension this city, are not an exclusivity. You and Santa may be an Arrancar, but you don't have a Hollow's hunger - they shouldn't have a single thing to worry about. Though I can't imagine a world where Hollows can live without suffering, Arrancar living amongst humans is a far more achievable state. You've regained your humanity, it would be cruel to put you down like a rabid animal if you are not suffering like one."

Closing her eyes, she'd sigh, "..Why would you talk her down from joining? The Vandenreich doesn't have the desire to eradicate all hollows and arrancar, it wouldn't be counterintuitive to her desires. We aren't in a position where that would even be favorable."
