So it seemed he didn't have much luck when he went out powered up, very little in fact, as he'd been attacked several times now and he really was starting to wonder just how he'd managed such bad luck in life. From his home life to this none of it favored him, the only gfood thing was the whole space bit, but so far things were not in his favor over all.
So far tonight was peaceful, silent, and he was wandering near to the cemetary his mother rested in. Something in him told him that this whole knight thing came from her, passed down from her blood, it was a gift from her without her even knowing it. She was once more offering him freedom and safety, though this time it was up in space, just like she had by setting him up a large find that he could put to use once he was of age. She was the only one providing anything for him...and she wasn't even alive anymore! Was it too much to ask for a single good thing, no matter how small, from his own father or someone else related to him? It certainly seemed like it. But that was fine - he was used to it. As soon as he was old enbough he was leaving and would go no contact with them - all of them. Not even aunts and uncles, or cousins, would find him once he was free.
Maybe, once he had his feet under him, he'd go to Norway to where his mothers family was from. Shaking his head, freeing himself of his wandering thoughts, he needed to focus just incase someone found him. He didn't need to be jumped.

After making a fool of herself at that house, she'd been walking around searching for any of the order members she'd seen in that front hallway. If she could get more information about any of them she would so tonight instead of hitting the pavement with her paws, she wandered in her human form, not her civilian one though.
That odd medallion that she'd found while digging around some of the offices in the dark kingdom seemed quite useful for this venture. Even though her ears and tail persisted, there was no way for anyone to know she wasn't just a cosplayer or what were they called? A furry? Something like that but she really didn't quite understand why someone would throw away money on a venture like that for fun.
Shaking her head, she felt a small blip of order and focused in on it. It wasn't the bug zapper who had singed her fur at least but it felt familiar enough she was certain they were one of the ones from the hallway. The question was would they remember her or not?

On and off since that battle he replayed it in his head, wondering if he could have done anything different and if so what, he knew he should have done things different but he was in over head and new to things. So really he was holding himself to too high a standard and expecting too much of himself, and he knew it in the back of his mind, but he should have tried more and done something else wit hthe one who had punched him - twice.
Them he remembered and figured he always would. He also knew he didn't want to run into them again, or anyone from that night again, he didn't care order or chaos he didn't want to run into anyone from that night. He was hoping to keep to himself as much as he could.
So far he'd been lucky, and he hoped that continued, as hestuffed his hands into the pockets of his coat and continued his wanderings. He didn't feel aynthing really, though his senses were not that sharp, so he figured he was safe tonight...for once.

Spotting someone ahead, Desiree squinted to focus with her one good eye. Something seemed familiar about the page ahead of her, those symbols and coat felt like something she'd seen in the ******** the hallway had been in that mission.
Stepping forward, until she was in step with the young man, Desiree looked them over from beside them. At first, she was casual about it, not actively drawing attention to herself as she moved a bit ahead after a moment.
Speaking casually, her tail flicked behind her. "You certainly don't look like you're dressed warm enough tonight little one." Pulling a hand towards the center of her larger coat as it hung off her shoulders. Honestly, she was sweltering in all her layers, she didn't understand how Aloysius managed it in summer as well as winter.

That was true, at least you'd think so, but he wasn't that cold...though he was a bit chilly. But he'd been doing a good job of ignoring it, as he ignored a lot of things, but with someone at his side pointing it out he gave a shrug of his shoulders. He didn't want to be rude, though it was odd to have someone randomly walking at his side mention such a thing...and to call him little one. He hadn't been called that in years...
"I'm not that little." At least not in terms of his size, he was on the taller side, but he figured they meant his age...he just wasn't going to accept being called little one though.
"Can I help you?" They had to be walking at his side for a reason, even if he didn't know it. They looked normal enough though and he felt nothing...not a damn thing. He figured they were some sort of furry ir maybe they are cosplaying but that last one made no sense, not out on the streets randomly at night anyway. A furry kinda made more sense...somehow.

Taking a few more steps to pull in front of them she turned to look them over. "Well you see, you looked awfully familiar and I was curious, have I seen you before? At a certain house fight?" Eyeing the page, she had just enough distance so they couldn't grab her immediately but she was more than ready to give them a good shove or something.
Already she had more information, almost enough to make a decently acceptable report to turn in about them. It wouldn't ever be as detailed as Aloysius's reports were, she just didn't think the same way they did, nor did she want to. It was too much in her opinion, always too much worrying and paranoia and she knew it wasn't healthy because she'd seen him at his lowest without being able to do much of anything to stop it.

"A house fire? No, I don't know about a house fire." He was lying, of course he knew about a house fire, but he wasn't about to say anything. This person obviously knew about it but how? They didn't seem like anything, though he could easily and obviously be wrong, but how did thye know about it? He hadn't seen them...but a lot had been going on and he had been in a bit of shock at the time, considering he was nto expecting everything which had happened.
s**t, was that incident about to bite him in the a**? He hadn't been apart of it, just something he'd walked in on really, and now he was going to potentially pay some price for that. That was fine, he'd learn from his mistake. He'd keep away from others like those that night...not wanting to be dragged down into these sorts of things. It was another reason to avoid others like himself.

Desiree's ears flattened with the slightest bit of annoyance, she was certain she'd seen one of these Ganymede pages there, at least had seen the symbols. They were distinct enough that she would have known if there was another type.
But she couldn't just jump into things, she'd made that mistake last time. "It was rather unpleasant with all that chaos going around you know. You would think allies would keep a bit more control of their magic in such close quarters." Not quite aligning what side she was on yet, she kept her arms crossed slightly as she considered on what approach would be best to get information.
"I mostly mean Encke, if you know of him? Quite rude to static zap even allies."

"Encke...you know him?" Becauise he'd only seen him that night at the house fire, though he wasn't going to admit to having been there, but he would ask about her knowing the person as well. "It would be good if allies kept themselves better controlled, assuming they got out of hand, but I assume with so much going on it is easy to understand it happening." Chaos was both a good and a bad thing...it could allow for people to move unnoticed and get things done. Confusion and chaos also left people open to attacks, as other things distracted them, but you also needed some manner of order.
"I don't know him, only seen him once, I don't know anyone else aside from seeing them in passing." Which was true, he wasn'y lying, he simply wasn't sayhing where he'd seen them. It was a half truth perhaps...rather than a full lie.

"About as much as you but I feel like someone in a position like that should have been a bit better at managing the situation." Tapping her chin at the response she nodded and started walking back past them the other way.
Just as she was shoulder to shoulder with them, she turned and grabbed them by the back of the neck before shoving them against the wall. "Too bad you don't know anything, this could have gone a bit differently." Sending her medallion away, letting that large signature of hers rush into existence as she ground their cheek against the bricks.
"Does this help jog your memory little one?"

As she went to walk past him he felt himself relaxing, feeling like he might just be safe this time. For once someone wasn't going to attack him, threaten him, and someone wasn't going to try and kill him. Only his thoughts were dashed as he found himself being slammed into a brick wall. His head hit with a solid thud, oh how it hurt, and his face was rubbed and pressed into the brick, he could feel his skin chaffing, as he groaned. Why was he always getting hurt? Couldn't someone just...for once...not hurt him? Someone be different from everyone else in his life.
"Too bad...why would this have - gone better?" His words wer drawn out, halting, as he grit his teeth as he gasped at the aura coming from her. His cheek ground into the brick leaving his skin red and raw.
With one of his free hands that small letter opener he had was summoned as he tried to swing, or stab, with it. Swinging it the best he could in a wild manner.

Her ears flattened more as her lips pressed into a thin and disapproving frown. She couldn't really have expected better from Order, they seemed so disorganized with everything when it boiled down to it.... and yet, they'd kidnapped someone from the Negaverse. It wasn't even someone insignificant if she remembered the report correctly.
Digging her nails into the back of his neck more, she hissed as they swung at her, catching her with the edge of whatever it was he was swinging. It looked like a pen or some sort of old art supply thing.
Letting go, she rubbed at her arm where the thing had sliced her before kicking the page into the wall. "Vile little thing." Huffing, she kicked them one more time before stepping back to deal with the cut on her arm. It wasn't deep but she knew Aloysius would have a panic attack over her getting injured again after getting zapped and magicked by all manner of things for her bad decision in the previous mission.
So even if she disliked the idea, she pulled her medallion out and darted off. Once she was far enough to pull her keychain out, she changed into her civilian disguise to catch an uber home. It was working out to be quite the system and her glamour came with a coat that covered where she was bleeding.

The feeling of nails biting into his skin was nothing new, his step mother had dug her nails into him more than a few times, so the bite of nails didn't phase him...almost went unnoticed even. He did notice the blood though, he felt it, just enough to tell him the nails had dug in deep. Gritting his teeth.
"Try a better insult, something new." He hissed out against the briuck wall, his face hitting into the bricks as she kicked at him. It hurt, of course it did, his head hurt and throbbed and he'd wind up choking dow some pain killers once he got home. This was new and yet not new for him, he was used to injuries and pain, he seemed to be getting beat up even like this...he'd just have to get used to it. At least he was certain he wouldn't suffer in space...he'd be safe there.
When his knees hit the brick wall, with that second kick, he hissed and bit down on his bottom lip a little too hard. Groaning when she left he gave himself several moment to catch his breath and get the spinning vision to ease enough for him to move. Taking slow even breaths, forcing himself to focus on his breathing, the teenager finally pushed off the wall and made his way home - slowly.
Once he was close enough he powered down and finish the last leg of the walk looking and feeling an utter wreck and just keeping himself upright as things spun and he was so damn tired and sore...and cold. Yup, a hot shower, medication and then bed.
