Welcome to Gaia! ::

At first blush, it seemed like a simple plan. Take Procyon to meet Ida. Straightforward, simple, logical. Yet even as her paws carried her across another roof Illyria had to stop for a moment to pause her current train of thought. Would it be okay to just show up at the apartment with another senshi in tow? Illyria was probably eighty percent certain that her bonded partner would have been surprised, but what would the other emotions be? That was what caused the Mauvian to fidget. Maybe it would be better if she gave Procyon a place to wait nearby while she fetched the Orchid Senshi for a meeting that was close to home, but also on neutral ground. Would that be better?

Anxiety flashed across her face before she sat her rump down on the rooftop before waiting for her guest. It didn't seem like it was the easiest time for the newest senshi but Illyria had faith in him already. Procyon was smart and observant and there were moments where she had been pleasantly surprised by the young senshi. Shaking her head she took in the city skyline before meowing encouragement to Procyon, "we're close to our destination. That being said, I think it'd be wiser if we don't show up like unexpected company. I can quickly go explain the situation and meet you back here, or we can meet in another location ... but I want to make sure you are okay with this before I go and tell Ida about you."

Illyria watched as the phone that she had just recently given to Procyon appeared in the senshi's hand and there was a moment before she made the connection to what he had been asking, and why. Her gaze softened as she watched with a little bit of mysticism before she promptly nodded. There probably hadn't been any intentional reasoning behind why humans built buildings so tall except for the fact that as the population grew, so to did the need for larger multi-story apartment buildings. Just buildings in general it seemed. Her gaze went back to the phone in Procyon's hands and she gave a soft sound of agreement.

"I think you should look over the device although there is a button on the screen that you should try to avoid hitting until its absolutely necessary. It's a general style signal for help, those that call this planet home, call it a SOS signal. It'd broadcast on any senshi's phone that you are in danger and need help."

Illyria paused before grimacing, "it'd bring a lot of attention down to this area of town which is what we don't really want. As for the questions: yes, I can use my phone to contact you if moving is necessary but I don't think it will be. At least I hope not."

Peering down at the apartment building that Ida called home Illyria gave herself a moment of figuring out just what she'd be telling her bonded partner about Procyon before returning to Procyon's side, "I'll go now and fetch Ida. Wait here and hopefully I'll be back before you know it."

With that Illyria raced away from the senshi before she gathered her momentum and leaped over to the next ledge before dashing across that roof and clearing the distance to the her next target. Five minutes later she sat panting on the balcony that was access to Orah's place. Her gaze took in the door before she gave one last activation of her glamour to at least access the handle to open the way to Orah's abode before sniffing at the interior and phasing back to her cat mode.

Slinking inside, Illyria took in the stillness before padding towards Orah's room (and by extension hers) searching for her bonded. Her voice was soft as she gave voice to what she hoped Orah would be okay hearing.

"Orah are you home? I think I found someone you may want to meet. I think it's another senshi like Selinur. One that's not from here."

There had been a time, once long ago, in which Illyria would have been hesitant to prowl around the apartment looking for Orah but times had most certainly changed in the fact that she definitely felt more at home here now than ever before. Hearing Orah's reply to her had the sleek feline start a low purring before she followed the sound of her bonded partner's voice before she neatly sat her rump down on the ground as she heard shuffling from inside the room that was Orah's (and hers by extension) before making out the words that Orah was replying with.

As she rounded the corner to see the thick sweater being pulled on Illyria wound gently around Orah's feet before she hooked a paw onto one leg and stretched upwards before replying back, "I didn't know if you wanted company coming over as their powered self so I asked if he would wait a few rooftops over. I gave him a phone so if there's trouble, he can get help ... but I think he needs more than just my limited knowledge on senshi like Selinur that perhaps you could help out with. His name is Procyon. He gives of a vibe of not being from here which is why I think he is like Selinur is. He also looks unusual for an earth-awakened senshi."

Illyria sighed before she glanced in the direction that she knew she had come from. Procyon had said that he would wait for her to return with Ida, but what if some new enticing allurement had distracted him.

"I met him earlier tonight and after he warmed up to the idea of being whisked away to Earth it was strangely easy to talk with him. Of course he initially thought that cats are the dominant species here. I sadly had to correct him on that assumption though. I've promised I'd help him out and I think the best thing now is for another senshi to connect with him."

"Oh," was the soft exclamation given to Orah's statement about not knowing everything about the special type of senshi that seemed to keep cropping up. It was a bit of a letdown to the feline but she brightened instantly at the next point that Orah would be willing to help out as much as possible. Procyon needed that kind of positive interaction, Illyria was sure of it. "I think that Procyon needs whatever assistance we can help obtain for him. I believe that meeting Selinur and Fang will help him see that he's not alone, that there are others like him out there. Probably more than we know about too."

The last line was delivered with a wistful tone but also a cautious one. Having been picked back up after being deposited on the counter top did Illyria nestle closer into the juncture of Orah's shoulder before carefully positioning herself into the available hood in order to be a little more comfortable on the journey back to where she had left Procyon. At Ida's question of which direction to to take Illyria's own senses picked up the basic energy signature that was, thankfully, remaining static before pointing a paw in the direction that needed to be travelled. Her voice was steady as it floated into Ida's ear from where she rested, "I left him a few rooftops over. It's the signature that is remaining stationary. I didn't know if having him move around to meet up with us was better than staying in one spot and going to him. I did leave a senshi phone with him though."

Illyria's gaze flicked to the side as she also remembered what she had promised to construct for Procyon before giving a soft sigh. She wanted to keep her word to help the wayward senshi acclimate as much as possible while he was on Earth. A device that would disguise his true appearance would definitely come in handy.

It was more of a feeling at first, that someone was coming. Procyon had managed to get his hair looking much more managed and back into the beads that held it neatly out of his face.

Looking around, he saw another person and what he thought might be Illyria riding on their shoulder. Perking up, he waved back excitedly. Picking up the phone he'd been given, he tucked it away since he wouldn't need it right now and he had to move.

"Oh! Hello!" Struggling a bit, he managed to get back up off the ground and patted some of the grime off of his uniform. It was a clumsy motion as he tried to get both sides with just one arm. It was the best he could do given the situation but he was excited to meet one of the senshi from this planet.

It was obvious from first glance that this senshi was not human. The pale skin and feathery ears gave that away, which mean this was definitely one of those ancient senshi from another world. Another newcomer... most likely just as lost as Selinur and Fang had been when they first arrived.

"Procyon. Its nice to meet you." Ida said as she came to stand with him and Illyria. Part of her wondered if she should offer a hand to shake... but did his people do that as greeting, or something else? Would it be rude to offer? It was impossible to tell.

"Illy said she thought you might be a senshi who isn't from Earth. Do you know how long you've been here? Me and Illyria are happy to help you out with whatever you need. I know its probably been a huge and scary transition for you, but we can at least try to answer some of your questions. And if you'd like, you're welcome to stay with us for a while, until you figure out what you want to do."

The apartment was going to be a little crowded with four people and three cats, but they'd make do. There was no way Ida was going to turn away someone if they had no where else to go.

Illyria watched the interaction between Ida and Procyon in silence. She didn't wish to interject at all and disrupt the conversation. The fact that Ida was willing to take in Procyon meant that, at least for a little while, he'd be taken care of and not left to flounder about. Her nose scrunched up in thought before she dismissed the direction her thoughts were going. This wayward senshi, from another world, needed help certainly to get acclimated to life on Earth. But that did not make him, say, a pet. Rising to her paws did Illyria pad to close the distance between herself and Procyon before twining around the young man's legs before arching up on one of her passes. Make no mistake about it, even though she hadn't awakened him, Illyria was already viewing Procyon as one of her senshi that she needed to look after. Already she had provided him with a phone and she would have to work on a device that concealed his more unusual aspects of his senshi form, but hopefully it wouldn't take very long to cobble something together.

A soft sound, like an amused purring, became audible before Illyria slowly backed away before resuming her seat in the middle of the pair before simply craning her neck to watch Ida. Ida was her bonded ... but she hoped Procyon would become one of her many friends.

"Ah, ok! Sorry if adding Miss is offensive to you." It was a habit for him, to add some sort of title to people he met to keep things polite. Smiling at the handshake, he nodded and followed along as he listened.

"Oh, food... Yes that sounds amazing if you have anything planty?" He wasn't sure exactly what kind of food was around here but he knew he'd avoided eating the creatures of his homeworld even when things had gotten bad.

"I still need to figure things out but I am hoping to meet other friends like Illyria here." The first thing he wanted to figure out was what to do about his missing arm, if there was something here that could be done to help with that because he knew it would be hard to manage things one-handed. It wasn't easy to use the device Illyria gave him one-handed and he knew he couldn't do the things he liked this way either.

Feeling a bit conflicted about what he'd gone through, the odd blips of wakefulness that were spread between a dreamless sleep. It made the tired wanderings seem like their own fever dream until he'd been pulled here. "I hope to meet a lot of people here, maybe some old friends but hopefully I get to make new ones as well." He missed people, music, and dancing as well as all sorts of socializing. At least he'd been lucky with Illyria finding him so far and he hoped things would continue to go well from here on out.
