Though the girl was no longer screaming, it did seem like she wasn't exactly relaxing about the situation. Her eyes were darting about, looking about the vicinity like she was prepared for this scenario to turn into a horror movie. Though a cradle was offered, the manx remained settled where she was. Being in the senshi's arms would be a risk potentially if she was shocked enough.
Politely, she declined the offer. "Oh no, I am fine, Draconis. Thank you for the offer though!"
Shifting very slightly in her place, she then calmly replied in a nearly repetitive manner "You are in the Draconis Constellation Kingdom. It is the place where your starseed in your chest gets its energy." The feline glanced to the side, sighing as she took a look over the ruined landscape. "I bet this place looked magnificent in its prime... though I can't say I've ever been here before. Pity... it looks interesting!"

As ********* spoke, Draconis glanced down at her chest like the starseed would just pop out. No such luck, it stayed firmly in place. That was probably for the better though, right? No need to put it at risk when they were apparently in a safe zone.
Calming down a bit more, Draconis was a bit awestruck. So this big barren rock was the the source of her power? How did that work?
Kingdom ... this was a kingdom? Again, ********* was given the skeptic look. "In its prime? So its ... what?" She was confused all over again. How could this place have looked nice at one point? Entire kingdoms didn't just fall in a day. It took time, lots of times. Especially in terms of the eco-system. It would take hundreds of thousands of years to fix everything.

"Yes, in its prime! I believe that this kingdom fell about the same time as the others... a bit over a thousand years ago."
********* head bobbed up and down, causing her collar to make a bit of jingly noise. At least Draconis seemed a little less likely to chuck her off her shoulder. Cautiously, the feline nudged her cheek against the girl's before saying something that could have been seen as odd (never mind this whole thing with being in space).
"...you'll probably remember things soon enough though..."

"A thousand years ..." Sailor Draconis said softly. So this place was the Draconis Constellation Kingdom. Did that mean it ... belonged to her? Or was it her homeland or something? This wasn't going to turn into one of those stupid tv shows where the girl finds out shes the heir to an alien planet or something, was it?
Remember things ... Draconis closed her eyes for a moment and tried to remember. She remembered ... she remembered .......
Absolutely nothing.
"*********, I don't understand. I get this is my er ... Kingdom- is it even mine?- but like ... what do I ... why am I-"
She was about to look at the cat dangling off her shoulder when suddenly noise filled her head. It was ... a marketplace of some sort. She could hear vendors crying out, people walking, stones clacking. Sailor Draconis looked around for the source of the noise, and, seeing nothing, she worriedly said, "*********! ********* do you hear that?!"

********* shifted in place as the girl moved to look about her as if she had heard something. The question also seemed to confirm her actions.
Of course, the cat did have the more sensitive hearing of the pair, and she had heard nothing. Her ears had remained at ease.
"...I do believe you can call this your Kingdom... since unless there are other Draconians about... you'd be the last one to remain. And as I said before... you get your energy from this place... so in a sense, you have a bond that I do not have. You can see things, hear things... remember things that others cannot. So alas, no Draconis... I did not hear what you heard... though... do tell... what do you think you just heard?"
A pair of ears seemed to perk up as if the manx was offering to lend both ears to listen to what the senshi said she might have experienced.

"I ... don't know," Draconis said honestly, looking around. Was there really no marketplace here? No people, no roads ...
As soon as the sounds had faded in, they were gone already. "It sounded like a ... a marketplace of some sort," she explained, "But ... it's gone now."
Looking around, Draconis decided it was safe enough to take a few steps around. She walked for a little while in silence, then decided it was too much to do for one night. She was already worn out from a full night of patrolling, and finding out she had her own kingdom (that's how she was going to think of it) was leaving her a bit shell-shocked to be honest.
Petting her furry companion lightly, she said, "So I'm assuming you know the way back, *********>" If the cat didn't ... well let's just say that ********* was going to be the first one to go!

"Well, that's too bad... I would have loved to hear more!" The feline easily leaned into petting, letting out a tiny scratchy purr to let the senshi know how much she appreciated the attention.
"...oh... of course... it's basically the same as how you got here... use the phone, concentrate, and hit the button. I've been told going home is the easier part of the whole the whole ordeal." It might have had everything to do with the fact there was a lack of things to distract a person from concentrating on these worlds. Or it might have just been easier since Earth was still a populated place.
With a nudge of her cheek, the cat asked "I take it we are going home now, yes?"

Sailor Draconis was glad ********* was here with her to purr and make cat noises. It was somehow very ... Earth-y in a place that was distinctively NOT Earth. It reminded her she had a place to return to.
"Unless there's something you want to see here," she said, stroking the cat a little more, "I'm fine if you want to explore a bit."
Truth be told, she was quite tired, but she would be polite. She wasn't about to whine and complain- that wasn't the Chu way! Well ... okay she was a bit of a whiner, but it would be rude to the cat that had worked so hard to get her out here. She'd be patient. Maybe.

"I think it would be easier for me if I had heat-proof booties... then I could wander about on my own!" The cat laughed, as she should have, imagining such booties on her little paws. "So I believe I am good to go back... you'll be able to explore another time... it isn't like this will be the last time you visit, I am sure!" Most senshi she had come across couldn't resist the siren song of the home world.
It wasn't like the manx had to move or anything, but from her perch, she seemed to flop down even flatter, as if settling in for the journey back.

Draconis giggled and tapped ********* on the nose lovingly, then grabbed her cellphone out of her pocket. "Next time I'll be sure to bring you heat-proof booties, and lots of cake." She really loved how amiable ********* was. In hindsight, Draconis really appreciated having an optimistic person there when she visited the first time. She definitely wasn't sure how she would've been able to take it if someone ruder had come.
"Thanks *********>" she said, and then she pressed the button.
It was indeed easier, just like ********* had said. She found Earth's "signal" in almost no time. As she landed back on the pavement where she had teleported the first time, she said, "Well that wasn't so bad. I think I'm going to go home though."
Though she wouldn't tell *********, her legs were a tad wobbly as it was. Draconis made note that traveling to distant planets and kingdoms took a lot of energy (because that wasn't obvious to begin with).
