"Okay maybe it's the other way around whatever." Reincarnation was not his strong suit."And Venus as a planet was discovered and named in 1633 by mainstream science, but the last time you Senshi and Knights were running around was way before that, like, a thousand years ago." He said. "Uh, obviously they're covering up Senshi. Maybe there are Order people in government trying to keep it secret or maybe they just cover it up like they cover up everything about aliens, I don't claim to know why."
He crossed his arms. How could she really not know about this stuff? At least he got most of a history lesson before being released into the combat wild. Once again, he felt something lime pity for a member of Order. Thrown out with no clue why she was fighting or what she was doing. It was tragic, but, well, she was still an enemy.

Aventine did not like to be proved wrong or in a fight where she didn't have all the information, but—hey—how was she supposed to know that whatever they were teaching about planets and stars were important? Teach her about volcanoes and earthquakes, she could see those—but planets? Stars? She'd never imagined a future for herself that involved those things.
"Well, Aventine has been around from the BC, so that's at least sixteen centuries before they even named the planet," she said matter-of-factly. That much she knew, even if only because she'd gone home and had the bright idea to google what the hell Aventine was one day. Of course, a bunch of Roman names were kind of intimidating, but numbers? She remembered the numbers. Basically.
Regardless, she still seemed smug as she looked at Natron, clearly waiting for his next move.

"And it was before the Silver Millenium too, anyway, so I guess Aventine on Venus is named after Aventine on Earth. Huh. But," Natron crossed his arms, "mainstream science," he emphasized, his dislike of the idea clear, "named it in 1633. But uh, what does mainstream science have to say about this?" He gestured at himself, at Aventine. "I'm pretty sure that we can't exactly trust what they tell us in school." Not that he ever had.
Not since he had stumbled upon the woder that was paranormal lore, that is. Science said UFOs were marsh gas. He said, they were spaceships from another planet. Natron did not believe mainstream science, and now mainstream history was thrown aside too because it said nothing of the Silver Millenuim, and the war with the Senshi, and the Negaverse and the youma's brave defense of Earth.

Aventine very nearly stomped her foot in frustration; the argument wasn't going anywhere, and this guy seemed to have as many reasons why he should be right as she did to prove that she was right. The only difference was that she knew she was right (about whatever it was they were arguing about now). Clearly there was only one thing left to use in her defense. "Well, you're just dumb!" she exclaimed, red faced and frustrated. "Why do you have to turn this into an argument, anyway? —Do I look like a bad guy? That's just rude! I've half a mind to come over there and kick your a** just to teach you some manners!"

Ooh, throwing around insults. Childish ones at that. Natron was really unimpressed with these Order folks, and this Page in particular. Maybe they got more mature as they got to be Knights, he wasn't sure. "Because it is always an argument with you Order people!" He flailed his hands, emphasizing his words. "And yeah, you look like a bad guy to me! All you Knights and Senshi in your stupid frilly outfits look like bad guys to me because you are!"
Never not pressing his luck.
"I'd like to see you try!"

"You're not even worth my time!" Aventine barked back. "And I wouldn't have made it an argument if you hadn't decided I was the bad guy! Honestly! I just started—like, not even a week ago and you have the nerve to tell me that I'm a menace? The only thing I've done is figure out what the hell my name is and talk to a few people! And you've given me a fair enough reason to want to kick your a**! You're rude! If you'd wanted me to agree with you, you should have tried nicely explaining to me what I was doing wrong. But I'll have you know that plenty of senshi and knights have put up a far better argument about why I'm good than you have, Mister!"

Natron took a long, deep breath.
She was new. She admitted to only having been in this for a week. Which meant he had...what, four on her? Not a lot. And he had a support network. He hadn't been plunged in head first. Her ignorance was excusable.
Didn't mean it wasn't annoying.
"Or maybe you're just beyond reasoning with! I don't even know why I'm getting into this, all you Order idiots have suck massive blinders on you don't even know they're there! Besides, you started nitpicking about dates and what was named after what first and that,s pretty irrelevant to the whole concept of Knights ad efrom space and serve evil alien princesses trying to take over my. Planet!"

Aventine did not appreciate being called an idiot, so as soon as he started really throwing around insults, her hands clenched into fists at her sides and she stomped over to him. "Watch your mouth!" she insisted coldly, giving him a rather perfected stink eye.
"Or I'll shove my fist in there faster than you can close. Now, you get this straight, she said, poking him in the chest—hard. "I have lived on this planet my whole life, and just because some magic clothes and pretty little item pop into my hand one night does not make me belong here any less! What the hell makes you deserve to be here any more than me?" she demanded.

Natron took half a step back when Aventine approached, eyes widening slightly. Verbal confrontation was one thing but oh god, too close. And then his eyes narrowed when she jabbed him in the chest.
"I deserve to be here more than you because I am a member of the Negaverse and we work to defend this planet!" Gee, this was getting way more confrontational than it had started out. "Maybe once upon a time, last time around in a past life or whatever, I was a blind idiot Knight too but now I've clearly wised up. And whether you realize it or not, you are part of an alien invasion force and you really need to accept this."

Aventine wasn't buying it yet—and what the hell was he talking about, a 'blind idiot Knight' in a past life? "Then where's my spaceship, huh?" she demanded sorely. "If I'm part of an alien invasion, where's my damned spaceship? And how come I'm not giant and green and firing lasers out of my head, huh? Or—oh. Oh. Get this. If I'm part of an alien invasion, how come we haven't declared war on the planet, huh? How come we haven't enslaved the whole human race and I don't have a harem of hot, sexy young men in my basement yet?"
She wore a coy, challenging grin, now. Hell—if she was part of an alien invasion force, she better at least be getting something out of it. Some information would be nice, because if she was supposed to be invading…what, exactly, was she supposed to be invading?

Deny, deflect, and deny some more. Natron was getting a little tired of this. "I don't know where your spaceship is! Why would I know?" He flailed. "I told you, I'm a Negaverser, my job is to,I you back off-planet, I don't really bother with the details of where you people keep your spaceships." Maybe he should. Maybe she should be looking into how they got here, so the Negaverse could more efficiently return them!
"I don't know what your leaders are thinking, maybe you haven't declared war ecause your alien Moon Queen is missing, because when she was around you sure as hell went to war against us." He put his hands on his hips. "I definitely don't know about any harems, that's just creepy."

"Oh my God," Aventine said, just staring at him. "You're—you're really serious about all of this? How can you say that with a straight face?"
God, no wonder the knights weren't getting along with the Negaverse—they were bat s**t crazy. "I don't even—" she forced herself to laugh as she took a step away from Natron. "How can you seriously believe that? Sure is awfully convenient. Are you high on something? Hyped up on sugar? Because, as long as you're not doing anything bad—I don't care. I don't care what you do. I don't care if you want to run around in your weird outfit, foaming at the mouth. I just don't want to see you hurting anyone. You think that makes me bad?"

"Of course I'm serious! How could I not be serious!" Natron snapped.
"I don't do drugs, sugar doesn't interfere with your brain function anyway, and isn't it a little rude to accuse someone of doing that?" He tapped his foot, looking thoroughly agitated with her. "I'm glad you don't care what I do, but I get very touchy about aliens on my planet. It's sort of been my thing for a couple of years."

"Oh, boo-hoo," Aventine snapped. "Isn't it a little rude to accuse someone of being an alien, too? You can't be hypocritical about all of this. If you want me to be nice, be nice to me! Don't you know how to talk to a girl?"
She wasn't jamming her finger into his chest any more, but she had absolutely no intention of letting him off easy after he'd said such things. She was only mildly curious about what his beef was with aliens; she'd always considered them to be just some sci-fi cliché. Of course, now she'd probably have to reconsider things, after all this space stuff interfering with her life and all. But she wasn't about to have an epiphany in front of this guy.

"It's not rude if it's true," Natron said, "especially not if it's a blatantly obvious fact from your power signature!" He made a soft snorting noise. "I'm perfectly good at talking to girls who aren't dirty Order aliens," he resisted the urge to point out that he in fact had a girlfriend, because even in his head that sounded kind of pathetic.
Natron stood firmly and defensively, frowning darkly. He hadn't intended to get into a war of words with a newbie Knight, but she needed to be educated. Even if it wasn't sinking in now, maybe what he had said would hit her later and she'd realize.
