Welcome to Gaia! ::

With the lesson over at the young Miss D'Cruz gone for the week, he grabbed a few things from this home to bring over to the other after he finished his patrol for the night. Stepping outside into the cold, he pulled his scarf up and locked the door. He'd look into a house sitter soon, someone to make sure the pipes didn't freeze while he and Liam lived at his other home further outside the city.

Once he was a few blocks away, he powered up and shoved the cookbook and other things in his subspace before texting Liam to let them know he was on patrol and would be home after that. He'd text Desiree to be ready to cover his signature when he was ready to come home. That done, the phone went away into subspace as well. It was a quiet night and most of the signatures he felt were chaos though none were exactly familiar to him. By now he knew what Melpomene, Lacerta, and Benitoite felt like without a second delay.

Walking down the path through one of the parks, he saw a form on one of the benches. It was a civilian but at first, he couldn't quite tell more than that with how they were laid on the bench. Once he moved in closer, that cold anger spread over his face. Someone had gotten to one of his students, it was the same young miss that had left his place not long ago. Nudging them carefully, he looked them over to check for any wounds or things like that.

"Young miss, are you alright?" He had to do something about this but... he wasn't going to force it upon someone. She was a bright student if not a bit too much like his sister for his liking. He had an idea of what kind of offer he could make for her since he knew a bit so far but the first thing was to make sure she was alright.

"I can understand how that may be shocking, I think that your father should be a bit more aware of your safety. I can walk with you to make sure you keep from being accosted by some ruffian." It was good to see they were alright, even if they were bothered by the situation.

"Cosplayer?" Looking down at his uniform, he had never heard that term before and had been used to being called out as someone from a marching band. "Just a good samaritan on patrol making sure nobody gets hurt out here at night." Offering a smile and a hand to help them stand up from the bench, he contemplated his next step. "If anyone else comes around to bother you I can handle them, it would be quite a shame if something befell you, young miss."

A bit taken aback by the comment, he nodded. "Alright Cicely, I apologize if I offended you. I was simply on a walk when I noticed you here and it really is quite unsafe for you to be out alone this late at night. If you would like I can accompany you partially?"

Thinking a bit more about things, he wondered if she might be interested in this side of things. With her already being a student of his, it wouldn't be hard to have additional violin lessons requested that would in turn just be where he could teach her about the Negaverse and things like that. It would be a bit safe for her as well, having a bit of power.

"Though if you want to avoid being troubled by other cosplayers as you called them I have another offer as well. Either way, I will make sure you make it home safely."

"I am a bit surprised, I figured you might be interested in a bit of power but maybe you are content with your station in life?" He hadn't expected the shutdown but he wasn't about to cross a line and just bring her in without consent, even if it would help her out when it came to walking through the city.

"What if I said my offer also came with some additional influence and financial backing though mainly I intend to offer you a chance to be a bit safer out here. There are plenty of other things that go bump in the night besides the one that came to bother you this evening." With a flourish of his hand, a rapier appeared with crystalline rings humming quietly with each motion. Chalcanthite didn't hold the thing up threateningly, more so just showing that it existed and nothing more. It had worked with Brassite, even if it wasn't the best way of showing what power lay behind his offer. There was so much more than just the weapon but he found it hard to put it into words even after all these years.

"Music is one thing but the ability to get anywhere within the city in a blink of an eye would benefit you as well. The only thing you would have to do is agree to join my team so I can help you learn the ropes. I would never ask you to fight but to gather information. I also have some opportunities to show off your talents in the future." It was a long way off, something he wanted to work on as a backup for gathering energy without getting out into the thick of it.

"You do get a weapon, as well as an alternate identity so you can avoid getting into trouble as well. I also have a few others who can provide support as well." There were a few so far and one closer to Cici's age than the others so it could work out. However, he doubted how well Brassite would get along with her, considering the difference between financial station and standing.

"I also find that the speed and strength boost provided are useful as well."
