Persephone's patrols as a Corrupt weren't much different from the ones she had done as a White Moon senshi, and she even followed the same routes. It was comforting, to be in places she remembered, when she'd forgotten so much.
And even now, she approached Order auras with only the intention to talk, especially ones much weaker than hers - someone absolutely no threat at all because there couldn't be an Order Senshi whose power was half of Azurite's. And even if she was caught in a bad situation, she had a crystal communicator and could call for help and receive it in a moment.
So she followed her sense, and grinned when she saw a chibi senshi. Rather than announce her presence by dropping down, she instead teleported, appearing in front of him.
"Hello there. You're mighty brave, wandering around all alone. There are dangerous people out at night."

Massalia had been going home from patrolling himself. The eleven year old wasn't particularly comfortable, but he knew there were scary monsters, and bad military-like people who might hurt him, or people he cared about, and so the eleven-year-old kept trying, though he really didn't like being alone to patrol anymore. He wanted to feel safer, really. Try to understand why people had monsters or hurt other people, so when he was moving for home and someone popped right in front of him, the young Training-Senshi was startled, brown eyes going wide and round as he stepped back, squeaking and swallowing. "Hello Miss." He said, blinking. How did they do that?!... Wait, had a senshi just teleported? She didn't look like the military-people at all. What eas it- Negaverse? No. She looked like a nice Senshi. So.... How did she teleport? "I'm... Just making sure there's not monsters looking to hurt anybody." Massalia fidgeted uncomfortably. Was she going to hurt him? Oh, Gosh... The Chibi swallowed, peering up. Was he in trouble? ... Again?

Persephone laughed a little. It was a strange thing, to have someone nervous around her. She had never been intimidating before, but then, she could teleport now and all things considered she was essentially an officer of the Negaverse...
"Are you afraid? Don't worry, I'm not going to hurt you, I promise." He wasn't all that much smaller than her, which was as always a surreal experience because she had to be at least four years older than him, probably more. She really hated being so small.
She took a step closer to him, offering a hand. "I'm Eternal Sailor Persephone. And you?" She asked. At least he wasn't screaming and running away, yet, even if he looked like he might want to. "We're under no threat from monsters, I don't think. They'll stay away from me." She couldn't be certain, of course, since she was still a Senshi, but hopefully her Chaos aura would drive them away well enough.

Was she sure? The Chibi looked cautiously at her, and fidgeted, before taking her hand slowly, the Chibi blinking quietly. "Sailor Chibi Massalia." He responded. His tone was soft, quiet, polite, and he was frightened and uneasy, though she seemed okay... He settled for peering up and mostly keeping quiet, blinking uncertainly.

"Lovely to meet you, Massalia," she said, withdrawing her hand. Her voice was remarkably cheery, which perhaps seemed out of order with the dark dress and the cracks in her forehead and chest.
"Tell me, have you ever met a Senshi like me before?" She asked, still cheery and light and curious.

"No, ma'am." Massalia said quietly. The Chibi senshi watched with cautious eyes, but at the cracks, he blinked, exporession growing worried. "Do those hurt, Ma'am?" He asked in the curious sort of voice a child toiok when unsure of a question's politeness. He'd never indeed seen a corrupted senshit, and the cracks worried him greatly. She didn't hurt, did she?!

"Getting them hurt," Persephone admitted, almost unconsciously reaching up to brush her hand over the one in her chest. "You see, up until oh...not too long ago, I was one of you. A White Moon Senshi. But I chose the Negaverse after struggling for nearly a year, and they welcomed me." She sighed a little. "But no, they don't cause me any pain at all."
And then, for a moment, her grin turned a little twisted. "Tell me, Massalia, have you ever seen a starseed before? A person's soul? I think it's something important to be able to recognize, really, since someday you'll undoubtedly come across one of our officers or Senshi taking one..."

Massalia blinked, and then his eyes went wide at 'Negaverse', the Chibi shrinking back a bit. Negaverse Senshi?Oh, no, no, he didn't want his starseed stolen for a monster! The Chibi whimpered, shaking his head. "N...No...."

Persephone chuckled and reached into the hole in her chest, producing her own starseed and holding it out. "Look, don't touch," she said, because as she had learned with Bischofite, the moment it left her possession she would feel the effects of its removal.
"Look and remember, Massalia, and pray that you never see one again."

Massalia blinked, wondering why she brought it out to even show him, and the Chibi didn't need to be told twice not to touch. Instead he looked worried, brows raising in concern as he looked to the corrupted senshi. The young senshi-in-training was confused and scared, and shook his head. "But... Why? Why show me? Won't monsters eat it? W..Why are you being nice?" His voice was small and frightened, and the young boy shivered, making a few small, nervous sounds. His last encounters with the Negaverse had not been kind, and the child-senshi hadn't been eager to repeat either. Would this be the same?

"There aren't exactly any monsters around here," Persephone replied, returning her starseed to its proper place. "I'm being nice to you because I have no reason to be anything else. You haven't attacked me or any of the people I care about, and you're a chibi, anyway. I would never hurt a chibi."
She smiled. "I showed it to you so you know. And I probably shouldn't say this, but if you see an officer with one...do whatever you can to get it back to the person it came from."

Massalia took a moment to accept her words, the chibi blinking, then breathing again, not realizing he'd held his breath. Somehow, it felt wrong to see the starseed outside of the older Senshi, but he was calming very slowly, swallowing. "They're bigger though." Massalia said quietly, with the voice of one who had seen what they probably shouldn't. "Bigger, and stronger, too." He shivered, remembering his meeting with Buddingtonite and Gra, and the Chibi Senshi whimpered a bit. "I... Don't know how to stop grown ups."

Persephone just smiled faintly. "In case it passed you by, I'm not exactly built for physical combat. You have to learn how to be smart, darling," she said, and then she reached down to ruffle her hair, the closest to treating him like a child she'd really come.
"Just...don't ever go out alone, hmm? It won't go well for you. You have to learn to be strong and brave, but you also have to learn how to rely on others." She stepped away from him, turning to go. "Stay safe, Massalia. And remember that if we ever meet as enemies, I will not hold back."

Massalia tensed a moment, but calmed, nodding slowly. He was listening- carefully and attentively - to the Corrupted Senshi, and when she didn't hurt him, he peered up a bit, giggling weakly. "I understand ma'am." He spoke softly. He was nervous, but he half-smiled. "I hope we don't have to meet that way, though. You... Seem nice." His tone was shy, and quiet-- unusual for the normally temperamental child, but not if one considered he was addressing a grownup.

"I hope not as well," Persephone acknowledged. She disliked the idea of ever having to fight a chibi senshi; they were young children, and to her every one was Dionysus or Aludra, a precious child to be protected. Her failure in that warehouse stuck with her, even through her conversion. She wondered if that was why she had retained her powered memories.
"Given the choice, I'd rather night fight at all, but I won't always have that choice - and not every one of my comrades feels the way I do."
