The trip to his little floating island was no different than usual, lonely as it was, it was a nice relaxing trip that always seemed to leave him feeling comforted and at peace. It felt like being wrapped in a warm blanket. Maybe that was why, or maybe he was just a bit clumsy, but when the eternal senshi went to step out of the mirror one of his slippers caught the lip of the mirror he was stepping out of.
Yelping as he tripped he didn’t even realize what had happened before he was hitting the ground. His arms had come up, out of automatic reaction, and kept his face from slamming into the ground. His face safe, his arms hurting, the dark mirror senshi could sense someone nearby - too close.
“Too close.” He whispered to himself from his place on the ground. He could sense them far too close to him for his own comfort, considering what most thought of him. This couldn’t be safe...right?

Startled by the sudden appearance of a darker aura, Acrucis jumped backwards when a young man fell through a mirror she hadn’t even realized was there. Precariously propped up against a trash can in an alley; at least it was… until it fell over beside him with a loud crash. A large crack splintered across the surface but surprisingly it stayed within the frame.
Knowing that running wouldn’t get her far, the Senshi of Prayer squatted next to him and hugged her knees. “Are you okay?” She asked, her brows knitted in concern. This wasn’t the first time she had been surprised like this fortunately, this time, he didn’t pull her through the now broken mirror like Remarque had the first time they met.

Groaning the teen unfolded his arms and shifted them to his sides so he could push himself up. Turning his head to look at the senshi he stared for several moments, just blinking. Was she going to attack him? She didn’t seem like it...hopefully.
“I’ve been better...ummm thank you.” Sitting up slowly he crossed his legs as he sat indian style, despite the dirty ground. His hands in his lap, fingers gently gripping his own sleeves. “I’m sorry it I scared or startled you...i didn’t mean to. I sort of tripped.”

“Don’t worry about it.” She laughed lightly and shrugged it off like it was no big deal. “You’re not the first Dark Mirror senshi to pop out of a mirror next to me. And I doubt you’ll be the last.
Acrucis stood then reached a hand out to help him up too. “Are you sure you’re ok?”

“Ohh - ok.” Nodding his head he took the offered hand and stood up, slowly, taking the time to then dust himself up. “I’m ok - I’m sure. I sometimes trip into things...or walk into things. It’s rare…” Well sort of rare but he did it and was used to such things, as he’d said.
“I’m Kiuchi by the way...Ummmm...who are you?” The dark eyed male asked, not wanting to somehow bother or upset her by asking who she was. She might not want to tell him, because they were on different sides. Some didn’t like him just due to his uniform...which he never understood - he was a good person.

Despite the dim light she looked him over as he dusted himself off then smiled. “At least you’re not bleeding or anything.”
“My name is Acrucis. I’m the Senshi of Prayer, although no hymns required. Don’t worry I’m only good for healing.” She wasn’t a fighter, never had been despite the attempt to learn. It just wasn’t her way so why force it?
Aggression only ever bread more aggression whereas kindness offered something else. It was a hard lesson to learn that it made her susceptible to those who wanted to use her for their own means. It had taken almost a year, if not more, to finally bring herself to power up again but there were some things about herself that Acrucis was unwilling to change.

“Ohh, good. I mean sort of. It’s not good for protecting yourself really...but it’s good for others. Right?” He questioned, hesitation at certain points as he spoke. He was, as usual, questing mentally what he was saying before he spoke. He wanted to not somehow say something he shouldn’t or make something sound insulting. “I’m ummm..the senshi of gorgon’s...like Medusa…” He explained since not everyone knew what a gorgon was.
“My magic is only good for making people sick….I don’t like to use it unless I have to.” Which it seemed wouldn’t be the case here - good. He didn’t like to see people sick let alone know he was the cause of it. He knew he needed to keep himself safe, his personal safety was important, and would use it if he had no choice.

“Hopefully it doesn't come to that, I quite like what I had for dinner and would like to keep it in if possible.”Acrucis let out a nervous laugh. Looking away she scratched her head before clearing her throat. “In all seriousness though, I can't speak for anyone else in my fashion but your safe with me.”
While Kiuchi’s aura aligned with that of chaos, Dark Mirror Senshi were the only ones she had never had an issue with. A part of her wondered if Remarque had something to do with that but ur had been so long since she last saw him that she doubted it was the case.

“I’m glad...I don’t like to use my magic...or fight.” He wasn't much of a dark mirror senshi if he said it like that. But he was working on his little floating island - he really was making progress. He was also good at helping others and working with others, whenever he could. So he figured he was balanced. He just couldn’t find it in himself to jump into fights like some people did.
“Ummm...maybe we should walk a bit...I’ve been told that standing about isn’t always a good idea.” And he could see the sense in it.

The order senshi shrugged her shoulders. “I guess that's fine" There was nowhere in particular she had to be so why not just take a stroll?
Despite their opposing factions Arucis felt as if she could trust that what he said was true in that he did not enjoy using his magic and thus she didn’t need to worry about him sporadically attacking her the moment she turned her back. However, if he were a corrupt or negaverse agent, that trust would not be so freely given.
“So… what were you up to before tumbling out of Mirror Space?” A place she had been twice in her life and neither time was by choice.

“I was visiting mirrorscape. Umm...you wouldn’t know what that is would you.” Thoughtful, reminding himself of that, as he tilted his head to the side a bit and smiled down at her.
“Mirror senshi...we can’t go to space like you and other senshi can, I mean some of us got kidnapped to space, sort of, but we don’t have our homeworlds. We have what’s beyond the mirror - mirrorspace. The mirrorscape is...sort of a floating blank canvas of an island for us. We can make it our own...but it’s a slow process.” Shrugging a bit he smiled softly.
“Create grass...or water...trees. It’s a bit of something for ourselves. It’s not a homeworld, but it’s all we get till we can find a way through the mirror back to our worlds.” Though the idea of leaving the people he knew here was saddening, very sad actually.

“I’ve only been to mirror space twice, the last time was not so fun.” Running through the unfamiliar world as it fell apart round them was a rather terrifying experience. More so when she took into account that her cousin had been pulled into Mirrorspace as well “It sounds like things have calmed down a bit.”
“I’m curious though, how do you create these islands? I didn’t think anything could grow or exist there beyond the white walls and floating mirrors. I mean, other than wraiths of course.” It actually seemed pretty empty the time Remarque kind of gave her a brief escort through the other dimension.

“Mirrorscape is separate from Mirrorspace….it’s going through a mirror to get there. The islands are just...there. I don’t know how, I don’t think any of us know how. What we use to create things, crystals we find, those we know where they came from….” And while he was happy to be able to create his own world he didn’t like what those crystals came from.
“Where you one of the people pulled into Mirrorspace against your will?” He questioned. Wondering if he could, or even should, explain things to her. He could trust her...right?
“I mean I can show you mirrorscape...if you want? I don’t have any crystals right now, I used all of mine.” Shrugging as he turned a corner, still walking with her.

“Are you sure you won’t get in trouble? Or that those wraiths won’t try to attack me?” Remarque was in a league of his own, far stronger than she was at the time; people… things, they just kind of listened to him it seemed.

“I’m sure and I won’t get in trouble - I promise.” Did she actually care if he would have gotten in trouble? It seemed like she might be the sort to actually care. “You’ve been taken in by someone before? So you know that we have to walk into a mirror?” To not worry about walking right into a mirror, as most people would be. Most would think it was stupid, or that they’d smack right into the mirror.
