The orders hadn't been to kill or even injure but to capture. But why? to interrogate them but about what? Wasn't everything they needed to know about the enemy known? Or at least the important things? Biting down on his lip as he paced the abandoned pier over looking the water. he'd teleported almost an hour outside of the city just so he could be alone at this late hour. The fireworks had stopped the evening before and he'd already seen some of the captured and made promises. He was putting himself out there more than he'd planned to, at least this early into the game, and he knew he could be turned over any time between now and...eternity? Who knows when this war would end and he would no longer be some invisible playing chip ready to be tossed out and offered to the Negaverse.
Pacing back and forth like a caged animal one arm lashed out at the air in a violent motion born of frustration. The hand soon found itself buried in his hair as he continued the pacing along the wooden planks of the pier, his boots clacking and thudding on their surface. This couldn't be happening - right? They couldn't be doing what he'd heard Tanzanite talk about so long ago? What the blood moon court had done. he'd heard about it through snippets and pieces but he had the idea of what had happened and now it was their turn to kidnap and torture people? To sink to that level...but in the future they would sink even lower and he knew it. So why was he surprised? Was it because this was too fast? Faster than he'd anticipated it being? Perhaps but the orders and what was happening troubled him.
He knew that being an hour outside of the city would give him realitive safety which being home, as a civilian, wouldn't give him. He couldn't predict if family or friends would call or visit. He needed to be alone with himself and his troubled mind and tremulous emotions. A huff of laughter escaped him as he faced out toward the ocean and felt the ocean spray against his face as he stood at the edge of the pier looking out into the night sky.
"I hope I can keep them safe...that I'm strong enough and good enough." In the morning he'd purchase a small first aid kit, one he could hid in his uniform, so he could help Valhalla. He would see they made it through - as many as he could. For a moment, a single solitary moment, he wished there was some star, planet, sun, or something which he could seek strength from but no - there wasn't. It all came from himself and he just hoped he was enough. He had to be. "I cannot fail." The words were whispered with conviction, the wind taking the words away and scattering them to the four winds and beyond.

”Talking to yourself is one of the first signs of crazy,” Sessrumnir’s voice came from the shadows of the building at the beached end of the pier. He approached, his steps slow and precise. He did not expect to corner a creature that could easily escape, but Benitoite’s presence had been just what he was looking for. Unplanned of course, but definitely convenient.
“I’m looking for a Jupiter knight like myself,” he began just as slowly as his steps, almost nonchalant, but his bright blue eyes revealed a brewing storm. “Disappeared on New Year’s eve with many others… You wouldn’t happen to know anything about that, would you…?” Sessrumnir wondered as he continued his approach. He was unarmed at the moment, but his left hand twitched at his side, ready to call his stormglass should he need it.
He hadn’t been at the New Years party, having not wanted to get all dressed up to drink when he could have just as easily done so at a local bar. His New Years night had been cut short when he began to receive numerous texts, first from his mother saying something happened at the party. Then others, both who had been there and who hadn’t, but asked about his whereabouts. There had been no word from his brother or his brother’s wife.

"That or someone who thinks best aloud rather than trying to sort everything inside their head in silence. Although, you could be right and I could be crazy." He had to be to be doing as he was now - right? Shrugging his shoulders he turned to face the knight and tilted his head, a slight smile finding it's way across his features as he listened to the other speak. "I see, and yes I do. I know three of the ones who were captured - though not by me." Though he had helped in teleporting Acrucis to the fun house. He hadn't knocked her out and he was doing the best he could to help them.
On guard, knowing how vulnerable he was this far from the city, should this turn into a fight he tried to keep his calm even as the other continued in their approach. "The masks people wore gathered their energy and some, senshi and knights, were taken. No killing and as little damage as possible." Simply capture them and bring them in. The orders had been clear and simple, like a crystal or a diamond.
"I do know of a Jupiter knight taken - Valhalla. I've seen him." He answered. He had no one from his own side to worry about overhearing him right now and so he was a little more willing to talk, but still he needed to protect himself as well and he kept that in the forefront of his mind. "Tell me, why do you want to know? What do you seek? I cannot tell you where they are."

Lightning flashed and crackled in his blue eyes, coming to a stop as the Negaverse General revealed that he did know not only what happened, but that he knew Valhalla’s whereabouts.
“We look after our own,” he said simply, having no reason to let it known that Valhalla was his brother. “Jupiter is a very temperamental planet… she knows when one of her own has been taken,” he exaggerated, bringing his left hand to his right to crack his knuckles. “You would be wise to tell me what you can…”
Sessrumnir did not often show much protectiveness over his younger siblings, if only because he had been absent for a large portion of their lives while he was in the military; however, he did take it very personally when they were in trouble. He wanted to know who else had been taken, but it was easier and less desperate for him to focus on one. After that, the others should be easy enough to locate.

"Ah, I see. Loyalty between you all." he said slowly and shifted his weight so one hip jutted out a bit and crossed his arms. Looking the other over carefully before he spoke next.
"I can't tell you much at all. Acrucis and Ganymede I know were taken, otherwise I don't know anyone else. I'm rather busy with aiding in things." In keeping them under lock down but also helping Acrucis. He would see to Valhalla's wounds as well, or rather have them seen to, if he could. he had to get a small first aid kit in the morning.
"The fierce protectiveness and loyalty you show are admirable...and good. They won't help you right now though. I won't divulge whereabouts." he couldn't do that. He wasn't about to risk everything that lay down the path he'd chosen. To have himself killed now would do what to the future?

”You can’t tell me much…??” Sessrumnir growled, stepping forward to grab hold of the collar of the General’s jacket, pulling him closer. “What are you bastards doing to them? Are you killing them? Corruption? Torture?” he threw out, not such an innocent man to know nothing of torture.
He’d been in the military since he’d turned eighteen. Eight years was definitely enough to learn a few things about people and how they worked. If they were torturing them in a way he figured the Negaverse was capable of, he didn’t know how long his brother would last.

For a moment he covered up his nervousness, as his jacket was grabbed, but then he let a smile stretch his features and twist them then. "No, I can't tell you much." He stated, staring at the other. Did the other honestly think he would tell him everything? Tell him where they were being kept? Even if it wouldn't result in his own torture and subsequent murder he would not put himself at such a risk. He couldn't take the risk.
"They are...questioning them." He let that hang there, let the other figure out how he meant that. There were several ways the other could take it, torture included.
