Szayel clearly hadn't been expecting an outright 'no'. He stared for a moment, surprise clear on his face, and then he asked, "Why not?"
Perhaps Lumi wasn't aware of how severe his situation had been when he'd been carried to Szayel's infirmary? Though that seemed far-fetched. He was aware enough to know how he felt right now, which was probably awful, and not something he was accustomed to feeling.
"I don't think you realise just how badly injured you were," Szayel began. "Still are," he added, uncrossing his arm and looking irritated. "What I'm suggesting isn't even half what I'd instruct with an ordinary patient. Not even you should expect to simply pluck a bullet out and walk away."
