Welcome to Gaia! ::

The night had been a quiet one, fairly normal and calm, something which didn't displease him. It was a cold night and while a run, or a fight, would certainly warm him up some he didn't care for such tonight. He had plans going on and things he was working on; his mind was elsewhere and his priorities at the moment. He had sensed a few signatures over the course of the evening, white moon and chaos alike, but none had come after him till moments ago.

Someone, someone with a chaos signature, had come upon him and while he wasn't worried he was most certainly curious. He had no idea they'd been seeking him out, no reason to think that, so instead of jumping to the next roof top as he'd been about to do he stayed still - waited. The general didn't have to wait long till he heard his name, and felt the wash of chaotic senshi, behind him.

Turning slowly, a smile gracing his features, he nodded his head once. "A favor...?" He questioned at her last words. What could she want from him? It wasn't that he thought himself incapable of things but he was just curious. This was a senshi he didn't know and yet she needed something from him. "Did someone send you my way...Sailor ?" He let the question hang there; him seeking her name. While he waited for an answer he took the time to look her over, taking note of the long hair which marked her a corrupted senshi, and the uniform she wore.

"I see, your new?" He asked, unsure. He hadn't ever met nor heard of her but that didn't mean much; there were how many on the side of chaos he was unaware of? But being a low level senshi he figured he might as well ask even if he could be wrong, and hope it didn't offend her in some way. "Bazzite? I see." He said evenly. "So you've met Bazzite."

He might have said more, but what? But he didn't as she sort of made a request of him. "Indeed, being that he's my personal youma." In more than one way really. It was more than the bond of a normal officer and a youma, at least in his mind it was. This wasn't just some youma that decided to bond with an officer, or that was bonded to by an officer, this had been an officer who'd lived with him! A friend. Now though Bazzite, Johnathan, was a youma and it was because of the blond standing here in front of this corrupted senshi. Yes, the bond was much stronger and deeper in his opinion; it was different from other youma/officer bonds.

"Can I ask what you need to see Bazzite for? I mean no offence by it but I am curious why you would seek him out. I don't mind calling him, I'd just like to know." But why? Was he protective of the other? Yes, yes he was. But he was also curious. there was nothing jealous about it but protectiveness and care; not to mention a healthy dose of curiosity. But how to word it and not seem emotional and weak?

"I see." He said trailing off as he wondered who had brought her into chaos, and what she'd learned thus far. He always wondered about new recruits and worried about them; how could he not? Someone had taken her down into the Rift? Or had Bazzite been above on his own? He suspected she'd met him down in the Rift. Benitoite was glad to hear she liked him, that they got on well, Bazzite could use more friends and people to talk to him and spend time with him.

"He offered to show you how to rip starseeds...so you don't know how? I wonder why no one taught you before now." Tapping a foot gently on the ground as he wondered why that was. It was a lesson everyone should know, if only as a means to possibly win a fight against a senshi or knight. "He'll want to eat any starseeds you take - it's what he feeds on now." Did she know he'd once been a normal officer? a human? He didn't ask though he did wonder; did she knew what he'd done to the other?

"It is - of course. I worry for my friend and youma." He spoke gently before he nodded his head slowly. "I'll summon him but I'll also help with the lesson. I'd like to avoid killing any civilians...or making any suffer." He had, one occasion, taken civilian starseeds but it never made him happy. He didn't like to kill people - just senshi and knights.

Sighing he closed his eyes and focused himself on Bazzite and on calling the other - requesting the others presence.

"More like I asked him, he agreed and that's how we ended up here." Lellouch shrugged as if it was as simple as that. "That's fine with me. He can have em." The blonde stared at Benitoite. "What's the matter General, don't trust us? Or do you just not trust me alone with him? I said I wouldn't hurt him and I won't I'd have to be nuts." The blonde girl pouted at the thought of hurting Bazzite. "And another thing... Doesn't the whole 'avoid killing any civilians' thing kind of defeat the purpose of me learning? Or is there some super secret trick I don't know about yet?" She raised a brow curiously, wondering just what was in stow for her.

She had to stiffle a small snicker as she watched the youma's face light up when he arrived. It was like watching a puppy. Only the puppy was taller then her and blue. It was adorable, really.

"Only took me forever! I don't think I realized just how big the city was till I had to find one person." She laughed as she walked over. "Yes I like him. Kinda reminds me of my brother actually." The blonde shifted her footing just a bit before fishing out a chain from somewhere in her fuku. On the end of it appeared to be a chunk of some sort of crystal. There were pieces of it that were raw and harsh, while other parts where polished and bright. "Brought 'cha something~" She said as she held the chain up for the youma.

Bazzite murmured sweet nothings into Benitoite's hair, taking in his General's scent as if they had not seen each other in decades. The youma stayed quiet during the explanations of starseeds and the acquisition thereof. He didn't have much to contribute aside from powered seeds are tastier than human seeds but for the sake of the lesson, differentiating them did matter. The locust-beast was not one to disobey an order, indirect or no.

For what it was worth, Bazzite understood why Benitoite was suspicious of Lellouch. Not only was she a senshi, she was a stranger. The youma was quite content to stay by his General's side until Lellouch offered up a present. Eyes wide with delight and a smile coming to his face, Bazzite gingerly took a few steps forward and opened his hand to receive the sparkly trinket. "For me? Lellouch, you shouldn't have. I'll treasure it." Once the stone was safely in his hand, the youma hid it away in the folds of the clothing.

"Don't worry, Beni. Lellouch is a good one, I think." came a quiet reply, Bazzite lifting his hand to pat the blonde senshi on the head. "She was nice to me when she could have run away like the others do. She stayed and talked to me before I had to go back down. I told her about you and thought you could offer up some guidance."

The youma buzzed his wings quickly, giving a smile to Lellouch.

Now he just had to hope they could find a senshi or knight, or several, in order to take their starseeds. It would give the corrupted senshi the chance to do so while also providing Bazzite with a meal or two, or more. He knew Bazzite would refrain from civilian starseeds, if he ordered it, he could really order the other to do anything - even if he would never abuse the power. As the other whispered into his ear he pet his head gently.

It wasn't really that she was a senshi but rather a stranger and he was possessive over Bazzite, even with officers he knew and didn't know he would be. He could much help himself, it was his protective nature for Bazzite/Johnathan which had just followed over and intensified; likely due in part to his own guilt. As Bazzite left his arms and went to take the gift the corrupted had brought him he smiled, she did seem to care for him. A smile lifted the corners of his lips as he moved in close to look as well.

"I don't doubt that she is good - she is on our side after all. I am pleased to hear how she treated you. I simply worry for you." He said this to Bazzite but more so to Lellouch as he shifted his eyes toward her.

"It is not a lack of trust. It s that I do not know you, in slight part. More so it is the bond I share with him and the circumstances which brought Bazzite to be as you see him now. It is a promise made months ago, though it seems longer, and the guilt which I feel for certain things. I do not mean to insult nor upset you. I would be this way with almost anyone else, with very few exceptions." He hoped to explain himself to the blond haired senshi as he wished to be on good terms with her; especially if Bazzite liked her.

"Thank you...for the gift for him. Perhaps we should go now and find a senshi or knight for you both. I will see to it you both are safe tonight while you learn and he eats." He would be the protector in the background while they worked. He would see to it that both were safe this evening.

Lellouch quirked a brow as Beni explained. She had known that Bazzite was once human, but she did not know the specific details. So Benitoite had been apart of what ever had happened... Interesting. "I can understand being protective Benitoite. I have given you my word that I will not hurt or let any harm come to Bazzite. I swear my life on it." The senshi shrugged. "It was in my family... When I found it again, it reminded me of him.

The blonde then stiffened in surprise momentarily, blinking wildly before relaxing and laughing as Bazzite nuzzled her. "You're such a goof..." She muttered as she reached up to hold his face and nuzzle him back. "You can count on that to happen. I want to see it. I'll bring you more stuff for you collection too."

The senshi followed immediately afterwards, giving the youma a smile every time he stopped to make sure she was keeping pass. "So now what?" She asked quietly when they stopped. She rested a hand on Bazzite's shoulder, gently stroking the scales there with her thumb. "How do we go about this?" He gaze passed between the both of them, wondering just what the next step was. "And what do we do if they scatter?"
