Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Killing youma for fun... you... you think I'm killing them for fun?" Tsui was taken back by the statement, but she tried not to outwardly harp on it. She wasn't enjoying herself, was she? She DID just say it was fun, so... perhaps it wasn't wrong of Cybele to make such a statement. She tried to push the troubling thought aside to hear the other Senshi out, but it refused to be silenced for long. Even when she tried to carry on the conversation with Cybele, though one could hear the slight sense of detachment from the situation in her voice, as it was no where near as boisterous as before. "You said it yourself- you want to be a part of this because you want to, not because you feel like you should have to. I get that. No one should feel the need to do something because someone else told them to do it... do what you want to do."

'What I want to do, apparently, is mercilessly slaughter monsters that were once human...' Tsui kept that bit to herself, knowing that it'd do nothing but likely scare the other senshi entirely. Last thing she needed to think was that she was a monster... Tsui felt that she had done enough this night. At least she got the ball rolling with getting another Senshi involved, assuming she didn't just shirk and was true to herself. Still, it was enough to know that she had helped another Senshi out from becoming youma chow or having their starseed stolen, and that would be Tsui's 'penance' for this evening. "Sorry if I seemed a little cross with you. Normally I don't get all huffy like that, but I guess I've been under a lot of stress lately..."

That was an understatement. Tsui extended her hand to the Senshi of the Hunt, hoping to put aside their differences and renew their acquaintance on good terms. After all, if Cybele wanted to be part of her court, then Tsui would gladly welcome her, despite her absence. That no longer mattered; so long as she was here now and willing. "Welcome to the White Moon Court, Cybele. If you ever need help in a fight, I'm the one to call!"

Yes, Tsui was confused, but she'd never openly admit it. She wasn't sure exactly how her words came out, as she always thought little of what to say, or HOW to say it. She was more of an action kind of gal, ran her mouth, and the feeling of guilt for snapping at Cybele was unfamiliar to her, to the point that she wasn't quite sure how to feel. She didn't want to feel bad- after all, it was her Senshi responsibility, but... Tsui had no right to thrust it upon her like that, especially when she knew that she wouldn't have liked for someone else to do the same to her. This encounter was too heavy, too vexing, but Tsui tried to keep up a decent poker face. Cybele had just caught her on a really, really bad day... or perhaps Tsui simply needed to accept the fact that not everything was right in her head at that moment.

It was just too deep, so Tsui shut the thoughts away. She took in Cybele's words and gladly accepted her hand in friendship, her own grip strong to compensate for the swirling doubt and unfamiliar remorse that lingered in her chest. She had to appear strong, otherwise, who would take her seriously?

"Don't mention it! We White Moon Senshi have to stick together, no matter what. I may prefer to do my hunts alone, but there are times when the Tiger will lend her fangs to the cause."

It sounded horribly corny to her, but it was Tsui's anchor. When all else failed, puff out her chest and give a mighty roar, if only to send her enemies running before they could realize that, deep down inside, she was just as lost and confused as they were...
