A bath had been the best part of getting back to the palace. Nel and Ulquiorra had made their initial 'we're back and no one's dead' style reports to Aizen, and then they'd both been allowed to retire for the evening.
Nel had showered and washed her hair, and then run a bath and soaked in that for another forty minutes until she felt less like her body hated her. Chocobos weren't pleasant smelling creatures, and after too long with them, she'd smelled like one, and muscles she didn't know she'd had were in open rebellion.
She'd woken early, and taken the opportunity to stay in a comfy, real bed for a little longer before she'd got up, and done her hair, and dressed in something other than her practically hardwearing but impractically white uniform, which was going to take ages to get properly white again, and then she'd made her way to the kitchen.
Even's reiatsu was lingering in here already, suggesting he'd found it this morning. If they were true to form, Szayel and Lilinette would be about somewhere already. She wondered if Even had run into them, yet. It was only a matter of time, of course.
She made herself comfortable with a cup of tea and some toast, food that hadn't been travel ready was another thing she'd missed, it was amazing how luxurious soft bread could seem, and perused one of the old newspapers someone hadn't got around to disposing of to catch up on what had happened in the world while she'd been traveling the Roo.
