Where Corvusite was he didn't know but he needed to find him, and now. He had called out to him over the communicator and had heard nothing. He had also not heard the other speak at all during the mission, nor anyone else speak to the other. He was worried and rightfully so, as far as he was concerned, he was not emotional and overly worried - never. He cared.
He'd walked away from a fight he'd wanted with Ganymede, he'd wanted that fight for years with her. The retreat was annoying, he didn't understand what they'd been after or what they'd gotten. Nothing seemed to have been accomplished, at least as far as he could tell, but he didn't know what the General in charge had really been after...assuming there was something more that they were after. Something more than just energy and starseeds.
Pulling out his communicator he called out again. "Corvusite." He hoped the other would respond and he could get them both out of here, before some rogue senshi decided to try and harm either of them.

Corvusite huffed as he rounded a corner, shoving past people as he went. He had long since stopped caring about trying to avoid people and was now at the point of just getting where he needed to be regardless of who he stepped on. Where he needed to be was a little less important then who. He scanned the crowd, looking for familiar colors only to stop in his tracks when he heard his name. Where.... There! "Benitoite!" The taller corrupt ran over, eyeing the other. "Are you alright?" The other didn't look too horrible. Frazzled at best, probably tired. But he didn't appear to be hurt.

Frazzled was one way to put it, he was physically tired thanks to Ganymede's magic, but he was pushing himself with the boost from an adrenaline rush. He didn't need a starseed or even an energy orb right now, though neither would be unwelcome, he was glad to hear his name called and see a familiar presence.
"You didn't answer me - where were you? I called for you." Worry and upset colored his words as gloved hands reached out to grasp at the other. Smaller he may be but he was stronger, and his hgold was tight, even as he looked the other over to see that he was alright. "You aren't hurt - so why?" He had worried the other was perhaps involved in a fight or injured, uncoinsious, or perhaps even dead somewhere. Now he was able to breathin easier as the other was well and intact it seemed.
The others uniform was even in tact, unlike his own where his coat and cape had been tossed earlier in his approach on Ganymede.
"I'm alright, tired bit alright. You don't need to worry about me so much, I can hold my own in a fight." He'd seen his fair share and been out numbered even. "I don't want you to worry about me." Butr he would most certainly worry about the other.

Corvusite's wrists closed around Beni's, thumbs brushing against skin to try and sooth the other. "I'm sorry. I heard you the first time. I figured it was better if idle chit chat was kept to a minimum." He walked backwards, tugging the other towards an alley, out of sight. Probably not the smartest move but... Perhaps in everything that was going on, people wouldn't notice the pair slipping off. Once they were out of dodge, Covusite pulled on Beni, letting the other lean on him if needed. "I' didn't know you called a second time. Something came up last second. Lost my communicator." Corvusite had decided to forgo looking for the blasted thing. He sighed softly. "Of course... I will try to worry less." He murmured with a roll of his eyes. "I know you can hold your own though." Beni would not have gotten where he was today without being able to. "What happened to your coat?" He asked, pushing Benitoite's bangs out of his face, and behind his ear. "Should we go?"

"I removed my cape and coat so they didn't get in the way. I didn't need the extra fabric, and a case of heat stroke, when going against a princess." Though he really hadn't gotten to fight her as he'd wanted to, he would next time. "We should go...home would be good." He didn't say his home, or Mason's home, though he ment his own and not the other blonds. He knew the corrupted would understand where he meant, it was always where he meant. One day the other might call the large place home as well.
"We should find a better way to keep in touch in the future." He didn't want to worry over the other, he wanted to know he was safe for certain. Glancing out towards the street where people were walking, hurrying, and trying to get back to the normal pace of things. "It'll be all over the news...I wonder what'll be said." He'd never wathced the news reports on a battle before but he didn't mind the idea. He wanted to lay down and watch the tv and that wasn't a bad idea. "I can get us home." Even if he was tired and rather worn out feeling.

He leaned down, bumping his forehead against Beni's for a moment before recoiling as if he'd been burned. "A what? Beni, that is too much. Even for you." It wasn't that Corvusite doubted that the General could handle it... Corvusite greatly believed that Beni could handle himself, but even that was a great difference in strength. " What happened??" The corrupt huffed. It wasn't as if he had planned to lose contact with the General... it just happened. "I will look into somethings... Let you know what I find." Corvusite followed Beni's gaze towards the streets, but kept a hand on the smaller man. "Which home?" Though... it wasn't as if the other knew where he lived... Corvusite doubted he would be comfortable there, given what he knew of Alex. "Lead the way. I'll follow."

Startled by the others gesture he took a half step back before he sighed. "I didn't get to attack her, the retreat was called before I could. She got in the first attack, unfortantly. I do dislike her magic...I've dealt with it in the past." And he'd rather not deal with it ever again, that much was obvious by his tone of voice. "Whoever thought of making a princess out of the senshi of lust was out of their mind...though at least she has better clothing as a princess. I will concede that point."
One of these days he'd draw first blood on her - he would make sure of it. "I'll look into something as well. Perhaps something like a microphone of some sort...for just us." Maybe a mauvian could undertake the task and come up with something. A small microphone and ear piece wouldn't be too bad - right?
"You know which home." Puffing his cheeks up at the other before pressinghimself into the other and teleporting them as close to his home as he dare to teleport them. The alley was a block from his home and safe enough that he could power down. Stepping back from the other as he did so. "That royals magic is draining on the body. I want to just lay down and watch tv, I'll think about dinner later." Preferably much later, he would even consider ordering food for delivery from some nearby place.

Corvusite scowled, chasing after the smaller man and crowding into the Generals space. "You can growl at me all you want, but I told you I wouldn't be happy if anything happened either. What does her magic do?" He didn't even want to think why Beni had an opinion on the Princess' attire.
Corvusite's lip twitched upwards. Ah... the attention was back on him. Good. He didn't know much of Beni's history with the Princess... Something to worry about later. "Just us..." The senshi echoed.
His grin grew as Beni pressed into him and he wrapped an arm around the other to support his weight. Too cute. Corvusute squashed the urge to poke at onr of thr smaller mans cheeks. "You should probably sleep." He said quietly, following him out of the alley.

"At some point I will likely fall asleep, I could use it. Her magic causes you to overheat from the inside, so nothing can ease it till the magic has passed. I could have stripped and it wouldn't have helped." And the inability to stop it, to ease or lessen it, was even worse. It was like an itch you couldn't scratch but far more painful. "It tires a person out...tires the body out. It feels like it goes on forever and then...a cool breeze and it's gone." Following at the others side as he kept his voice low, to keep anyone in passing from hearing him. He didn't wish for anyone to grow suspicous of him, he didn't know what sort of people lived around him. For all he knew a knight might live down the block from him...and a senshi across the street.
"It starts out as a desire for something and some warmth. Soon you forget whatever you wanted because the heat is so intense. You can't ignore it. I've been under her magic before..." And yet he still fought her and he would in the future as well.
"You don't need to be upset. It's better than some other senshi's magic. Her's at least leaves no physical damage." Which was a plus he supposed. Though sometimes he might take coming home bloody over suffering her magic.

Corvusite brushed his fingers against Beni's forehead, frowning. At least it wasn't a lingering affect. His eyes darted to the other when he said he'd been affected by it before.
Perhaps he'd spoken to soon.
"You're one to talk. You'd be all in a tizzy if the roles were reversed right now. I'd say it's pretty physical, if it leaves you feeling like that. It's just not a visible mark." He glanced about them, before snatching up the other hand and suddenly detouring down another ally. He gave no remark, just dropped his glamour, leaving only Mason. "Better now before we get any closer." The blonde pointed out.

"You aren't wrong, I won't deny thatg. I'd be in a tizzy, as you put it, mostly because she's a lot stronger. I'm not sure she's the sort to kill, unlike Castor, but she's nearly as dangerous." Castor he'd seen with bodies, bodies he'd shot, and h ow he hadn't seemed to care much. Ganymede he'd yet to see with a single body at her feet. He wasn't sure her hands were coated in blood.
"No, it's not a visible mark, something I'm glad for. I'd rather not have any more marks on my body." Not that he figured he'd ever get so lucky. He knew, and had accepted, that he'd wind up covered in scars from this war. He hadn't liked the idea at first, when he'd still been very young and somewhat innocent. Now he wasn't so bothered by it...he almost liked it in a way - it was lived expereinces to be remembered as they marked his skin.
Watching as Corvusite powered down and left Mason in it's place Alexandre reached up to pet the others blond hair. "Come, I wanna rest and watch a movie." Or something on tv, he wasn't picky, he just wanted to rest and perhaps use Mason as a human body pillow - he was big enough.

"People are capable of anything if pushed far enough or for the right reasons." He mumbled quietly. Mason had to admit though, for his rank, Alex was a lot less... battle scarred then he would have thought. Though maybe that just meant the other knew when to get out of dodge. "What do you want to watch?" He asked, leaning down once more so it was easier for Alex to mess with his hair some. After a couple moments, he pulled away, with a gentle swat to Alex's hand. "Is there anything new that's come out that's caught your attention, or should we watch something that you've seen before." Mason ushered the smaller man back out of the alley and back towards his house. He followed diligently, saying little unless absolutely spoken to. Though all bets were off once they climbed the stairs. With nimble fingers, Mason fished the keys from Alex's person before scooping him up in his arms. Let the smaller man fret, he didn't care. The blonde unlocked the door with little trouble and nudged it shut probably a bit harder then he had meant to. It was a slight song and dance to nudge his shoes off, but once he did, Mason bee lined for the bedroom. He deposited Alex on the bed with far more grace then he had shown the door before climbing in himself. "Do you want anything?" A shower probably would have been nice. But that meant getting back out of bed, and if Alex was as tired as he said he was, as Mason thought he was, he would take one later.

"Mmm, that is true. But some people must be near to saints with how much pushing it would take them." Some senshi, and knights, were far too kind and accepting. They thought they could save anyone and everyone, as if they needed saving. At least some people were realistic enough to know when to give up on their kind and gentle natures and go for the blood letting.
Pouting at his hands being swatted away he might have said something if not for Mason's question. "Mmm, not too much new that I've noticed. We could just settle for something we both like. I don't know what you like to watch though...."
Twisting, and trying to turn, to stop the other from gabbing his keys from his back pocket he yelpped as he was picked up bridal style. "Mason!" Not loud enough to grab the neighbors attention but still - not all that silent either. As soon as the door opend, and he was being jostled about as Mason was removing his own shoes, Alexandre took the time to kick off his own. Something he'd never normally do, he untied them properly so as to not wear them out by treating his shoes poorly, but this was a rare case and so off they went and landed with two thuds ont he floor. That was another thing he wouldn't ever do - toss his shoes about! They were dirty and he'd never make a mess by tossing his shoes about, but he was also not about to go abotu his home with them on!
He was glad for removing his shoes as he found himself soon being ploped onto his bed. Getting comfortable he nodded his head. "Something to drink for myself and grab yourself whatever you want. I'll find something on the tv?" He offered up as he tilted his head to stare at the other. He was, for now, planning to grab a drink and fall asleep to some tv with Mason - a perfect way to spend the time right after a battle.

He hummed softly, thinking. "The same could be said for the wrong reasons, I suppose. Desperate measures and all that..." Mason smirked when Alex squawked his name but made no attempt what so ever to put the smaller man down. "Look, at least I had the decency to kick my shoes off first. You can't complain." Speaking of... He cast a wayward glance at Alex's shoes which were dumped very unceremoniously onto the floor. "I have no preference on what we watch. I really am fine with whatever." Though, if Mason were honest, he did not expect Alex to stay awake through the whole thing. He leaned over Alex's form, pulling the others head close long enough to place a soft kiss against platinum hair. "Do you want anything in particular to drink or are you willing to risk whatever I bring you?" Then he cast a glance at the others attire. "On second thought.. You're probably going to change aren't? Don't want to wrinkle your shirt." His words were all bark and no bite. Plus, he didn't recommend sleeping in jeans.

Grey blue eyed widened a fraction as he felt the others lips against his hair, against his head. "N-no, you can surprise me." Lifting his head so he could catch the others eyes with his own. "I don't think it'll be a risk." Not really, he was fairly certain he could trust the other not to bring him anything too nasty.
"Mmm, a change would be a good idea." Wriggling about he nodded once, as if to confirm his words, jeans were not comfortable in bed plus they were dirty from being worn about all day, prior to the mission. "I don't think I have anything which could possibly fit you." He was certain of it, the size difference was far too great, otherwise he'd have offered. On a whim, and because it felt right in that moment, Alexandre leaned up and brushed his lips against Mason's. It was brief but there was no mistaking what he'd just done. He'd just missed the other and as he settled back he watched, waited, and hoped it wasn't a mistake.
