Welcome to Gaia! ::

Lucien had gotten home late and was slightly disappointed to see that Arin wasn't home. They had said they were going to go patrolling together that evening which either meant Arin skipped out on him or he'd gone out already by himself.

One of those options was, thankfully, more likely than the other.

He dropped his things off at home, telling Sumi to be good and making sure he had dinner, before heading back out. It was easy enough to find a place to transform even if it felt much different now. Once Arsinoe was back on his feet he untangled a ribbon from one of the completely useless wings and checked around for power signatures.

There was one that wasn't too far that felt familiar. Smiling he headed in that direction.

He hopped the fence for the park since it was faster and made his way though the small patch of trees toward the power signature. He almost had to laugh when he saw Arin sitting on a bench with a take out bag and some sort of drink.

"Somehow I don't think Cosmos intended for us to be using our powers to get take out." He laughed as he leaned on the bench next to Mag Mell.

"I never did like that thing so I'm not sad to see it go but this stuff," He held out an arm, the writing scribbled across his skin standing out and glowing gently under his gloves. "No idea what all this is actually. It looks like the stuff that other Knight had .. um, Celsus. Cordy's friend."

He finally took the bag before coming around to the others side of the bench. He wasn't quite sure he could sit down with the wings, annoyance that they were, but he could at least poke into the bag and see what Mag Mell brought.

"I want to talk to him again ... about that library and see if he'll let me poke around." It was in much better condition than his own. Probably because the Surrounding seemed to have missed the disaster that destroyed the rest of the galaxy. "And see if he knows anything about this."

He pulled half the sandwich out of the bag before taking Mag Mell up on his idea. It took a moment to get balanced but it did work out better than trying to sit on the bench itself.

"They do sort of stick out don't they?"

"The markings. I actually know what the wings are." He took a bite of the sandwich, almost surprised that Arin knew his favorite but thankful that he did. "I'm on your level now. Eternal senshi ...." He paused to take another bite of his sandwich slightly worried Mag Mell would react how Cordy had.

When he was finished chewing he continued. "A General tried to rip out my starseed. Something stopped it and the weird markings happened. Whatever it was got her away from me long enough for Sumi to give me a new pen. So slightly better super powers and useless wings." He looked over at his friend. "That's why I missed our yoga date."

"You're not getting out of it this week." He pointed the sandwich at Mag Mell before taking another bite. He didn't want to miss another week and he wasn't going to let Arin sneak out of going as well. Not when he'd promised he'd start going with him.

Arsinoe shook his head at the other question though. "Nothing serious. I have a couple new scars on my arm but they're light enough they might fade after a while. I didn't exactly ask for her name. She was wearing a pink and black coat, her hair was dyed pink too I think, and she had metal gloves with claws."

He didn't exactly want to run into her again either to find out her name. She'd no doubt want a rematch.

"If it comes down to that but I have a feeling you'll be a little better behaved." When he was done with the sandwich he tucked the wrapper into the bag and tossed it into the trash can not far from the bench. Running a hand though his hair he looked down at Mag Mell.

As a friend he'd have suggested staying away from them forever. But Mag Mell was a night as well. It was part of his duty to deal with them. "If you think it is. That's up to you but you cant' hide forever. Can't win a war with soldiers who are afraid to fight."

"You've also got people behind you this time." he shook his head at the smoothie but nudged Mag Mell's shoulder with a thigh as he spoke. "No one has to fight this war alone ... which is something I really wish I could get across to everyone. But if they come after you, when they do, you'll have all of us."

He knew none of them would let the Negaverse take Arin back and they'd all come if he needed help. "The magic is kinda fun though once you get the hang of it."
