Her white glove hand squeezed his reassuringly before tugging him out of the market stall gently. "A little bit like seeing ghosts, but more like seeing into the past. Sometimes you'll look at something, or smell something, or touch something that reminds triggers a flashback of whats happened in the past." When they were back out into the middle of the square Perseus stopped on a large cracked paving stone.
"I don't know if everyone has them the same as I do, but I can still see the ruins behind the flashes, so it is like seeing a ghost scene I guess." Perseus looked melancholy at the whole thing. "This place used to be bustling with people selling their wares...I wonder what happened to them all." Shaking off her momentary lapse into sadness, she turned to her young companion.
"But that was a rather sad thing to say. Would you perhaps like to do some more exploring? We can go home whenever you like, just let me know if you want to leave or if you get tired, and I'll take us back." She wouldn't keep the boy any longer than he wanted to be there, even if Perseus did love having his company. Other people made the world seem a bit friendlier, a bit more like its original self.

“Hmmmm, not ghost-world ghost-world.” That sort of made sense, didn’t it? He wondered what it would be like on his own planet. The boy yawned a little bit, but he quickly covered his mouth trying to hide it. It wasn’t that the planet was boring, just that Ixion was a growing boy. It was a fact sometimes easily forgotten. Holding onto Perseus’s hand, Ixion looked into her eyes. His own were getting heavily, his eye lids feeling heavily. “No, I want to explore more. I haven’t seen everything yet!”
Even though he protested, and tried to convince Perseus that he wasn’t sleepy, Ixion gave a large lion roar like yawn. Afterward, he leaned onto Perseus’s shoulder and closed his eyes for just a second. Her shoulder was just so darn comfortable.

The boys actions and words spoke two widely different tales. Judging by the clock on her brooch, the sun was probably setting back on earth. Perseus smiled softly. "Well, maybe you can come with me again another time and we'll do some more exploring. Or perhaps you can show me Ixion someday." Perseus had only heard other senshi talking about their homeworlds, but never had experienced any others. It would be quite interesting to see someday!
In the meantime, however, she had a very sleepy boy to get home safely. Perseus crouched down just in front of the boy, offering her back for a piggy ride to earth. She wasn't quite sure what would happen if the boy felt sleepy and let go of their hand while traveling, and Perseus didn't feel like experimenting. If something went wrong, she'd probably have to hunt down Kurma to go on a chibi senshi hunt through the universe! Plus, at this point he looked ready to completely fall over, probably due to the over excitement of space travel. Perseus had felt drained after her first trip too.
"Come on, lets get you home." One piggy back ride through space and then they both would be back snug on earth.

Ixion climbed up onto Perseus’s back, his arms hugging her tightly. His head rested on her shoulder and his eyes slowly slide shut. “But… I want… to stay.”
When they arrived back on Earth, Ixion stirred slightly. It was a weird sensation traveling through space while falling asleep. It was almost like falling, but different somehow. His soft brown eyes slowly opened to see the park again. The park, right, his home wasn’t too far from there. Ixion climbed down from Perseus’s shoulder and powered down in front of her. He was too tired to be concerned about identities, and Perseus was trustworthy. Then he whispered into her ear his address and pointed off in its general direction.
Taking her hand again, Sam tugged on her, happily forcing the girl to walk him home.
