Welcome to Gaia! ::

Pasiphae nodded in agreement, her soft voice brightening in response to Chaldene's excitement. It was a natural enough move forward, given the initial lessonhad been jumping up rather than across. "I think that's a good idea. Moving around the roof tops can be very important. A lot of times to get away, like you said, or because you're going to meet someone... or just to stay away from others while you're out."

She motioned for him to join her across the roof, at the opposite edge. The other building wasn't too far away, but it had a slight slant to the roof that would make it a little trickier to land on. So, she pointed this out, using her hands to mimic the shape, "There's a little slant there, so you'll need to be kind of careful or you'll slide a little. Um... well, maybe you won't have as hard of a time because it looks like your boots are mostly flat?"

It was an odd thing to point out, perhaps, but Pasiphae remembered only too well the evolution of her own footwear. Sensible heels to high, pointed boots--and now to boots that came up to her knees! "Do you want me to go first again?"

"I kicked off my shoes once," Pasiphae admitted with a small smile. Then, thinking about it, she added, "No, actually... more than once. To get a better grip on a surface and keep from falling. It was much easier to remove my shoes back then..." She bit her lip to keep from babbling further, and to try and better fulfill her new role as teacher, she added, "It's... um... it's okay to do that. To use your fuku in other ways. Bows can be bandages, and shoes can be make shift weapoins and... it's just up to your imagination."

The naturally compassionate girl was torn, despite the male Senshi's nice smile that accompanied his not-so-nice statrement. On the one hand, she knew she needed to tell him that he shouldn't be looking for a fight and not pushing people--for their enemies were people--off of rooftops. On the other hand... the Ambush was still too fresh in her mind. Her personal resolve to make sure no one fought alone assumed, at its core, that there would be fighting. No matter how much she did not want to... there had to be a fight. Her voice lowered, almost as though making a confession, "I would rather save them, but... if that is what it takes, to save yourself--or to protect someone else..."

Okay, it was time to stop talking and start demonstrating. Pasiphae did not want to drag Chaldene into the heavier, more unplesant duties of Senshi life. That would be another lesson--and they had both agreed, one lesson at a time. She judged the distance and took a bit of a running start.

Unfortunately... it was a bit more slanted than even the Eternal had thought. Her front foot slid forward, and after a few moments of wobbling, she ultimately caught herself with her hands and grunted. Slowly, she regained her balance. Maybe... maybe if nothing else it would help him see what not to do? "S-sorry..."

Whenever he leapt across and seemed to be losing his balance, the Eternal let out a gasp and moved towards him. She desperately did not want him to fall... but before she could reach out to him, he had already righted himself. With trembling hands she pulled him in closer all the same, away from the edge, even as she returned his smile with a nervous one of her own.

"Most of the buildings aren't... really this scary!" Pasiphae hurriedly reassured him. Maybe he had had enough for one night. Even focusing on one task could be overwhelming when it was all very new. "Um... if you want, next time, I'll take you on a path starting at the library? There's some easy paths there."

If there was going to be a next time? She realized that she had made a very big assumption, and as if to make up for it offered, "And... and I'll bring some of my friends, who really know more than I do. If you want to meet them, I mean?"

Pasiphae smiled and produced the pad of paper and pen that she had begun to carry around for just such an occasion. She scanned Chaldene for her own Senshi phone and waited for his number to be returned to her. All in all... she thought it had been a successful night. A stressful, sometimes awkward, night, but... she had met and helped another new Senshi. And that... was good enough.

"Great! I'll contact them and then call you. If you need me before we meet again at the library... don't hesitate to call, okay? If I can't come, I'll send someone to you. It's... dangerous to go alone, and you're not alone, Chaldene. Always remember that."
