Welcome to Gaia! ::

Lesath had spoken to Leto about perhaps having some sort of a training session sometime, considering…well, considering what had happened to her hair the other night in that fight with that…child.

She was waiting now for the more experienced senshi, running a hand through her vastly shorter hair, still very irritated that she had to cut off so much of her beautiful blonde hair because of that…that wretched honey. What a stupid power…who did that? Who just would throw honey at a person!

Let alone into their hair.

She sighed, walking closer to the large lake that sat in the middle of the park, kicking a stone that was near her feet. She felt a good aligned powered aura, but ignored it for the time being. She didn’t feel like starting a fight right now with some goody goody. She wanted to rant and train with her mentor, someone who she knew she could trust, and whose friendship she was beginning to respect and value more and more.

Maybe she was a good one to tell about Acubens to…she would surely know what to do about the situation, know how Lesath should continue approaching the subject. Yeah. That would be another thing to bring up.

But where was Leto? Just standing around and waiting was…well, boring.

Acubens was laying prostrate in the snow tonight. She didn’t feel like patrolling. She only watched the stars, trying to pinpoint Acubens from the millions of tiny lights. Which one was her home star? It should have been in the constellation Cancer but… was that even out? Her golden eyes scanned the night skies as she felt the cold water soaking her fuku. It didn’t matter. Not in the dark way that it used to not matter. That way where there was only emptiness and endless questions. It was just… a part of the experience. The cold that permiated her skin, the way the water warmed when it touched her flesh. The tickled of the drops as they slid down her sides. It was all a part of what she was doing.

Even the bitter taste of Chaos was a part of that night. She had spent so much time in quiet meditation that she didn’t even bother to jump up and fight. Any agent of Chaos that wanted to fight her would have to fight a limp body. Acubens was not going to react to anything. She was busy.

“You know,” she called, her voice loud in her own ears, “you may as well leave. I’m not doing anything tonight. Not even fighting you.” She curled her fingers in the snow, relishing the numbness that made her fingers ache. Perhaps a little morbid if her eyes weren’t full of wonder at the sensation. When was the last time she’d enjoyed little things like that, much less noticed them.

Leto embraced the other Parallel Senshi in a hug and beamed proudly when she noticed her buttwings. "I went Eternal when Ares promoted me to Vice Captain," she said when she realized that while everyone would be aware of her promotion, not all of them would have a clue about her power up. Actually, now that she thought about it, the only person that would've known so far was Al-Janah.

She chuckled quietly and raised a hand to finger Lesath's hair. "It's not ugly, don't be silly. Short hair suits you!" She sighed though at the mention of yet another Chibi Senshi. "Those Order assholes really need to keep their kids in line," she muttered between clenched teeth.

Then she heard the same voice that Lesath did, however, which distracted her from the topic of the Chibi Senshi. The voice was familiar to Leto as well, but she would never be able to place the similarity between Acubens and Micah, so she simply shrugged her shoulders.

"Is she worth dealing with?" It was a simple question, which Leto knew Lesath would understand. If Lesath said she was worth Leto's time, then she would make the effort to convince the girl to join them... If not? Well, Leto had much more violent ways of dealing with White Moon Senshi.

Lesath hesitated for a moment, weighing the options. Worth dealing with…Well, maybe…

She opened her mouth, about to say that perhaps the senshi was worth dealing with, when she heard her name being called and that just made everything click. “Yes, Leto. Her name is Sailor Acubens…and honestly, I think that she’s worth meeting. She will be a good addition to our family someday, I’m sure.”

The blonde senshi reached out and took Leto’s hand, tugging her over. “Acubens. Why are you lying in the snow like that? You’re going to get sick.”

She looked down at the senshi, giving a smile. “I want you to meet someone special, this is Leto, she’s part of our DMC family…She’s…She’s very, very nice, and will love to have you join with our family as well, I know she will.”

The blonde looked to Leto and nodded to Acubens. “She’s the senshi of velociraptors, which is pretty cool if you ask me.”

As Lesath came into view, Acubens grinned brightly from the snow. "I won't get sick," she said softly, returning her attention to the stars. "I'm watching God. You can't get sick when you're watching Him." There was a newness to Acubens that she was certain Lesath could see. A certain sort of comfort now in her own skin. It was in the way she was so totally relaxed, the way she smiled so easily. She could even see it in the way the word "family" didn't make Acubens bat an eyelash while it used to have her in tears on the ground. True, it still made her stomach twist in wanting, but she was just able to hide the longing she felt for such a thing.

When Leto came into view Acubens broke into another smile. Yes. I know her. Though, she noticed with a wince, Leto did not curse nearly as much when Acubens was Micah. Still, it didn't mater. It was lovley to see her from two different perspectives. She giggled despite herself and wiggled her arms and legs in the snow.

"You ignore the cold after a while," she assured Leto, though did nothing to try and persuade her to join her.

"The pleasure is mine," she grinned, holding a soaking arm up to shake hands with Leto.

"Watching God?" An eyebrow raised when she repeated what Acubens said. Leto was almost positive that she would still get sick even if she was watching some deity that she didn't believe in. But to each their own, she supposed. She smiled back at the White Moon Senshi- something she didn't often do. But she resolved that if this was a friend of Lesath, she would be a friend of her's as well.

She shook hands with the other girl, the wetness of her hand sending shivers down her spine. Leto most definitely did not like the cold. Especially the snow.

Her attention quickly switched back to Lesath once they were done their introductions, and she nodded at her. "I trust your judgement. I know Ares wants to bring them all over, but if this one in particular has caught your attention, I believe you that she'd be a good addition to our family."

Leto's head tilted to the side while she looked over Acubens. "I'm sure Lesath has told you all about how awesome we are," she flashed the White Mooner a grin.
