[ Wait. Wait, wait wait wait. He what? Bazz shakes his head a little, as though he’s trying to clear water from his ears. There’s no way he’s hearing that right, no fucking way. ]
He beat you? In a fight? [ Distantly, he realizes that his mouth has dropped open. Someone — an arrancar — beat Jugram in a fight, and Jugram didn’t rip him open? He pauses, and then decides to say what he’d been thinking. ]
Nice of you not to kill him.
[ He’s surprised at how little malice is in his voice. He just sounds tired. Bazz always had been second-best to Yhwach, he’d known that, and now he’s second-best to a fucking arrancar? Oh, Jugram will go on and on about how Bazz didn’t give him a choice in their fight, and then he lets a fucking Hollow beat him without retribution?
He’s not jealous. That’s not the word. But he feels…jilted. Put off guard. There’s something impossible to imagine about Jugram losing. (And if an arrancar had beat Jugram when Bazz hadn’t, where does that put him? But no, Jugram had said they were depowered.) ]
