It was Hyperborea's first night patrolling since her run in with Painite a week ago. She had just gotten her stitches removed this morning and the doctor had said to take it easy on physical activity, but she had a duty to keep people safe from youma and the Negaverse (even if all she'd managed to do so far was beat up a couple of youma and nearly get killed by a psycho General). She decided to take a walk down a street lined with shops and cafes, sometimes looking in at the clothes on display in the shops. There's no rule against having fun while I protect the city. She thought with a giggle to herself, making a mental note of outfits she wanted to buy when the stores were open.
It was then she felt a powerful aura. It's like the aura I felt around Painite, Chaonis, and Hvergelmir. But its also different. She couldn't put her finger on how though. So she decided to follow the aura to its owner but while being careful to remain hidden. She didn't want to have a repeat of last time. If she had to fight another General, She should at least try to use the element of surprise.
Sticking to the shadows of buildings she eventually saw the owner of the strange aura. ""Mon Dieu!" Hyperborea exclaimed softly. She is definitely weird and that's saying something given the people I've meet recently. The red haired woman was dressed like Amazon warrior only with a skirt like you'd expect to find on a sailor outfit. But much stranger than the woman's fashion was the glowing red markings all over her body. From what Hyperborea could see the woman had a serious and cold expression, almost like she was a predator looking for its prey. But then Hyperborea noticed the little wings she had. "Those wings, she must be an Eternal Senshi, like Chaonis." It was then Hyperborea realized why her aura felt strange, it felt pure much more pure than the harsh evil aura of Painite and even more pure than Hver's or Chaonis' aura. Maybe I was thinking about it wrong. Maybe she's like sir Galahad, harsh and cold on the outside but purer and nobler than any one else on the inside. Hyperborea's imagination got away from her and she had quickly made a hero out of the woman in her mind, she decided that she must meet this pure and noble woman. Maybe she could learn fighting from her, after all some one as pure and noble as a knight of legend must be able to fight like them (it would only make sense), or maybe she could tell me how to be pure like her. So Hyperborea resolved to approach this mystery woman.
"Um excuse me, mademoiselle. Can I talk to you for a bit." Hyperborea asked politely to the red head, stepping into view. Noir Songbird let me know if anything needs changing.

Penthesilea didn't often take to fancy districts with lots of pretty shops - she couldn't afford those things anyway, and surely they had plenty of protectors. But, well, sometimes she ended up there, and it was safer for her to be out in public powered because there wereless questions. Nobody wanted to stop and talk tot he glowing Amazonian warrior, but god did people swarm the teenage girl who was covered head to toe in scars.
She had sworn she could feel an officer's aura, but now there was just a Page, somewhere nearby, and she stopped her walk, waiting. She had no intention to startle the poor kid, and certainly a glow-covered warrior woman was a startling thing (unless, she supposed, you were Kairatos of Mars, and then a glow-covered warrior woman became "Vegas-Xena.")
So she smiled when the girl approached, though it was a small thing. "Why of course, honeychile, what'ya lookin' t'find out?"

Hyperborea felt relived she had been right about this being a nice person. She marveled at the intricate glowing marks on the woman. Hyperborea wondered what they meant. They can't just be tattoos, tattoos don't glow. I think.
"Um you see you look really cool and strong, and your aura felt really pure so I was wondering if you would train me to be strong like you? I mean I know how to fight a little bit now but I want to be strong enough to fight generals." She asked politely.

Penthe bit the inside of her cheek. Yes, this was definitely one of those too-young kids that really didn’t belong out here, but then, wasn’t it her job, as a bonafide Incorruptible Glowing Eternal Senshi, to teach them s**t? Probably.
Plus, there was something familiar about a Page telling her she wanted to fight Generals. That had bene her once, before she’d learned what that meant, when she thought she was magical and invincible.
“Darlin’, I can help ya learn how t’fight, an’ how t’fight right dirty like I do, but bein’ strong like me is years’a blood, sweat, an’ tears. ‘Fore I was a Senshi an’ after. An’ th’glowy can’t be taught.” As far as she knew, and she wouldn’t teach it even if she could, because all it had brought her was grief. “Lookin’ t’chase Generals, though? You’re a brave’un, for sure, butcha gotta remember that y’don’t serve nobodygoin’ after somebody way stronger an’ getting’ dead. I know. I’ve been there.” She reched down, pressing a hand to the strange frosty scar on her side, the only one that didn’t correspond directly under a line of bright glow. Her markings curved around it, making it all the more prominent. “Ya ain’t gonna be beatin’ ‘em ‘till you’re a Squire, at least.”
She held out a hand. “Penthesilea. Eternal Senshi’a War.”

"Hyperborea page of Cosmos, its a pleasure to meet you Penthesilea." Hyperborea shook the offered hand. Her side hurt looking at the scar on the eternal's side. "Yeah I learned the hard way that I'm not strong enough to fight generals yet but thats why I want to find someone strong like you to teach me. Though I'm not so much looking to hunt down General, but if I come across one hurting a civilian or something I want to be able to do something."
She was a little disappointed she couldn't learn how to become glowy and get a supper pure aura like this Woman's.
"Please teach me, I'm tougher than I look and I'm willing to put in the blood and sweat and tears needed but I need to become a better fighter." She asked polity but firmly she didn't want this woman to think she was some wimp who would quit just because things got tough.

Penthesilea looked the girl up and down, and considered for a moment. Well, she served nothing by telling her no, so at the least she could teach some basics.
"Alright, have ya got any trainin' at all? Martial arts, basic self defense, don't care what, anythin'?" She needed to know what she was starting with.

"Yes ma'am, I've taken Judo for 8 years. And I exercise regularly." She said, she knew her basics well enough but she needed to know more to survive these fights. "I'm very good at throws and submission locks but I was hoping you might know and be willing to teach me more offensive fighting."

Judo. Penthesilea grinned. Judo wasn't krav maga, certainly, and she was pretty sure it came with its own philosophy and ethics and things in a way her art didn't, but that was just fine, she could work with that.
"So that's...a lotta defensive stuff, right? Throws an' grapples? Whaddaya know about goin' for weak points?" And then she tapped her foot briefly. "An' - I dunno how much judo teaches'bout honorable combat and stuff like that, but if you're learnin' from me you're gonna havfta forget any a'that."

"Yeah pretty much, um I know alot about choke points and how to break limb with submission holds, I'm not sure if thats whats you mean by weak points."
"Judo doesn't really teach you to be honorable per-say, I mean there is ethics and your suppose to respect your sparring partner of course but real application is a bit different or at least thats how I see it." Hyperborea didn't exactly like the idea of fighting dirty, it wasn't a very knightly thing to do. But if it gave her an advantage over people like Painite she'd be willing to learn anything.

"Damn straight real application's different. Ain'tno Nega gonna give you quarter an' respect. They'll do whatever they can t'get the upper hand, an' then they'll kill you if you ain't careful. Or...worse." She grit her teeth. "I've seen th'worst they can give, an' I'm tellin' you right now they ain't got no respect for nobody. So you fight dirty 'cause you wanna live."
She stepped over. "I'm gonna grab you, an' you show me how you'd get outta a hold, an' then I'll show you how I do it." She moved with Eternal speed, going to wrap one arm around the Page's shoulders and the other around her waist.

"Ah yes ma'am!" Hyperborea was a little startled by the woman's shift in demeanor. But she did know that the older Senshi was right about the Negaverse not playing fair or showing her respect, at least if her last encounter was any measuring point.
The eternal caught Hyperborea a bit off guard with her speed. But Hyperborea took a quick but deep breath to calm herself before she reached back with her right leg and she used it to pull the older woman's feet out from under her while at the same time throwing her right arm up so that she would fall ontop of the woman.

Penthesilea let herself go down in a controlled fall, smacking the ground with her hands and balancing her weight so she didn't go down too hard.
"Good, that was damn good!" Penthe said, and she sounded genuinely delighted even as she rolled out of the way and got back onto her feet.
She brushed off her skirts. "That'll do ya pretty well, I think, but lemme teach you a little trick'a mine - SING, it's called. Solar plexus, instep, nose, groin." She tapped each area as she described it. "If you've got someone ya can't take off balance that way, hittin' em there'll hurt 'em enough ta get 'em t'letgo, but be carfeful 'bout the nose if you ain't aimin' t'kill 'cause that can end...badly."

Hyperborea nodded her head, it was a simple thing but it made alot of sense, those were vital areas if she attacked them even if she couldn't throw her opponent she could probably get them off her that way.
A thought struck Hyperborea. This woman was strong and seemed really brave maybe she'd be willing to go with Hyperborea to her wonder. She had felt a calling to go there for a while now but she had been afraid. Sure fighting monsters and evil people with spears was scary in its own right but Hyperborea could deal with that fear since she was doing it to save people but going to her wonder didn't save anyone at least not that she could think of. She had never gone further than the city with her parents or grandparents coming with her and now she was going to God knows where in space. In concept she found the the idea of having a place in space that was hers and that she could visit was beyond cool but in practice the trip terrified her.
"Um Penthesilea I was wondering if you could do me another big favor. Would you come with me with me to my wonder? I'm kinda of scared to go there alone." her face turned pink, she didn't want this strong woman to think she was some baby who couldn't even go to her own wonder on her own but at the same time she gained nothing by lying.

Penthe made an effort not to literally salivate at the idea of going out into space. Of seeing a Wonder of theCosmos, the only Princess she knew to be active in any way, besides Castor.
"Yes. Yes, I'd love t'come with ya. It ain't bad t'be nervous, space ain't like walkin' t'the'park." She offered the girl a hand. "An' I'd love t'see whatever your Wonder looks like - ain't never been to one."
