"Children," she answered, with a nod and a smile. "Some of the other Arrancar," she explained. They were Kadaj's friends, for the most part, but she didn't want to do identifying them as that just in case one or the other of them caused trouble. "No doubt you'll meet them once they crawl out of their respective pits."
