She found herself outside again, in the busiest party district, in the spot she had now decided was simply her's. It wasn't badly lit, but it was obscured and veiled enough from sight to prevent her from standing out too much. Given she was otherwise dressed up in a manner that would suit some of the clubs around here, she also didn't deserve a second glance. For all intents and purposes she considered this to be the perfect spot for what she needed, and what she needed right now, was to continue to work with her new found 'friend' to get what she wanted.
Results had been mixed so far, she'd gone from knocking people out to doing nothing at all to them and the energy gain had been representative of that. With little inclination to cause permanent harm to those in her vicinity she had decided that a different approach was needed. Courtesy of a slow day in work she had contemplated what that might be and now she had settled on at least something she was reasonably confident might work.
Compact out and wraith summoned, the senshi was now staring with a furrowed brow at the crowd as they walked passed. Looming in the depths of the shadows her companion observed her expectantly but she wasn't ready to take action just yet. While she knew she would move it eventually, she needed an opening to do it. Too soon and with this many people around they would spot it...to few and her math might be off.
Bad luck and a light might shine on him and it'd be game over but she'd cross that bridge when she came to it.
"Okay," she took a breath and readied herself. Based on the speed that the next set of people were moving at she thought that she might be able to make her move on them, those she raised her hand, finger poised as she waited to give her instruction...

"Wow, your wraith is so obedient that you can take out whole crowds?" Sansuna whispered from behind the new senshi she'd found. Having sensed a similar aura to her own while up on the rooftops, the Dark Mirror had dropped down to saunter up behind what had to be another of her kind. After all, this woman was flicking her attention between an area of deep shadow and the people walking by, all with her compact out. Had to be gathering energy right? She might have spooked her comrade in arms with the sudden approach from behind, but no one made any friends by hiding from new people. Sansuna almost would've mistaken this girl for another partygoer by her clothing, but the aura and little mirror for controlling her wraith gave it away. "I'll be quiet, just wish mine could do something like this."

If there was one thing Shaowei did have to work on, it was the ability to sense others approaching whenever she was engrossed in another activity. Nakhett's voice served only to spook her and it was with an undignified squeak that the young woman's back became ram-rod straight and she very nearly lost a grip on her compact. She spent several moments of frantic scrambling to catch it, an action that made her resemble a juggler as her compact flopped back and forth in the air between her hands before she finally caught a firm grip on it.
Fingers now tightly around the device she soon spun round with wide eyes to examine her new visitor. Relief soon crept into her features as she noted the attire and, from the aura, ascertained that whoever this was, they happened to be on the same side. Well sort of, she might be in the presence of someone who was particularly invested in the war (in striking contrast to herself), but at the very least she assumed Nakhett wasn't harmful to her.
...At least not yet anyway.
"I can make it walk through them but the results vary," she admitted, voice still rather high pitched. She cleared her throat in an attempt to recover some sense of dignity but that time may have already passed for her.
"Why, does your just do it's own thing?" she asked before checking over the woman's shoulder.
"Where did you come from anyway? There was no one here when I arrived..."

Sansuna grinned sheepishly, it was obvious she had startled her fellow Dark Mirror Court member with her sudden arrival from behind. "Sorry about that. Yeah, damn thing just kind of obeys the bare minimum of orders but otherwise goes rogue. Probably doesn't respect me, but I don't think tips for reining in unruly dogs work as well on ethereal little mirror monsters." The senshi leaned forward to cup an elbow in the palm of her other hand, then rested her chin on the fist of her now-supported arm. "Didn't hear anything about an obedience course in Mirrorspace when I was inducted, but I may not have paid the strictest attention. Might've missed it." Sansuna turned, waving a hand in the general direction of the buildings and rooftops behind them. "Came from thataway, but maybe not so close that I was easy to sense? I move pretty fast, at least Moron keeps up with that. It's like the only thing he's good at. I can go, if you want. Was just trying to figure out if I was missing something when using my own wraith... or if it's just defective and Moron is the perfect name for it."

Sansuna was certainly a woman that radiated confidence and one that spoke with enough sass for Shaowei to acknowledge that she might on occasions be a little controversial. Well, if her laissez faire attitude and peculiar nickname were anything to go by, Shaowei could only assume that this was probably how everything else might play out for her. That being said the woman had been proven wrong before and perhaps her fellow senshi happened to have a measure of finesse somewhere.
...It just wasn't in draining energy with her poor wraith.
"You call it moron," she repeated with a touch of disbelief. She afforded a shake of her head, a wry smile lifting the corners of her lips as she glanced over her shoulder towards her own. It wasn't as if her own had been skilled at much when she had summoned it, but over time she had managed to work with it to improve... but it hadn't seemed to be completely lacking in tact. If anything, it seemed to be based on how patient she was so perhaps that was relevant information?
"I think that perhaps I need to work on being more aware of my immediate surroundings," Shaowei admitted after a moment of consideration. She could certainly place blame elsewhere, but she really hadn't been very good at that either and Sansuna didn't really seem to be trying to hide. For all intents and purposes Shaowei really should have been able to sense her, she just hadn't.
"I would be hesitant to place personal blame on you but perhaps an observation based on the quality of my own wraith's level of finesse," she began slowly and gave a wave of her hand towards it.
A minor pause, because quite frankly this may or may not go well depending on the other woman's disposition.
"It started to perform better when I practised patience and envisioned a more useful route for it to take," she admitted and clucked her tongue. "Otherwise it might as well have been a toddler raging through a toy store," she confessed.
"I'm not sure if that's at all relevant or mere coincidence, but make of that what you will?" she offered. Though as she gave the senshi a quick glance, noting that her attire was considerably more agile than her own, perhaps patience and efficiency weren't necessarily going to be on the cards. Mayhaps, Sansuna's wraith's destiny was simply to be that toddler... though if it provided the same results then who was she to judge?
