“Oh, there it goes!” With the youma taking its leave, Aludra felt a lot more cheerful and it showed as she smiled at Hypnos. But the other chibi still didn’t seem pleased. The youma issue wasn’t quite resolved in her mind. It seemed like a good idea to kill them, but Hypnos was definitely against it and Aludra couldn’t exactly argue. Whatever they were, she’d only met the one so far. She listened without comment, nodding only once when Hypnos gave her proud declaration of ‘protect the innocent’. Aludra at least knew that one. But as the other girl continued talking, a frown settled on her face and she half-raised one hand, as if trying to get the attention of a teacher. “Uh… Negaverse Officers?” Being attacked by random people for no good reason didn’t sound very nice. “Who are they?” Clearly her guardian cat had not bothered with a detailed explanation on anything. While she waited for an answer she got out her own phone and took down Hypnos' details.

Hypnos was almost envious of Aludra. She didn't know who the Negaverse was? It must have meant she'd never encountered them before. It must have been nice for Aludra to have never been nearly choked to death by a General-Queen her in dreams, or go to school and find herself attacked by Negaverse agents and their youma, or to go to summer camp for a break from the city and still find yourself attacked by them. Some memories were so painful for Hypnos that she woke up in the middle of the night crying over it.
It was hard.
What if one day she woke up crying in the middle of the night and they were towering over her bed? Sometimes she wanted to throw in her henshin and give up but she couldn't do it. She had survived three years of this so far and she had to continue to bear the pain because if she left and all the other senshi left then what would happen to the city? The peace she wanted would never be within her reach as the city crumbled and chaos took over. What the Negaverse believed to be a right cause would destroy Earth and its inhabitants soon enough. If they were willing to kill humans simply because they were senshi, what was protecting the civilians? Such fickle morals would break eventually, wouldn't they? They had already. Hypnos remembered the carnival vividly. Civilians died all the time for the cause even though they were suppose to be what was being protected from senshi.
"They're dangerous. They seem to be everywhere."
She could never seem to escape them. Her dreams were not safe, her school was not safe, not even a camp outside of the city was safe. Was the world safe? Hypnos feared the answer to that and knowing there was a senshi out there who was corrupted into the Negaverse while in Greece would have been fairly upsetting for Hypnos to know. Their reach was endless. They were even in space. She might not ever been able to escape them and they seemed to attack endlessly, Hypnos didn't believe that everyone within a faction was going to do bad things like how they thought all senshi were evil. However, she didn't want to be the reason Aludra got hurt because they went into a situation believing things would be okay.
"They're a faction like the senshi but their starseeds are filled with chaos and you can feel it as it pulses through the air. They give off a different signature than senshi and knights do, and if you concentrate you will learn to notice it. They are taught through words and even actions that we are the enemy and you will need to be careful should you ever run into them. They want us gone from Earth, by whatever means, and claim we have no right to be here as senshi even though we were born here."
She looked utterly miserable. A sweet smile trying to make its way to her face but her eyes told the truth.
"I don't want you to get hurt because of me. I may not describe them as other senshi might but they are dangerous. If you remember anything, don't forget that everyone in this world is capable of great good and evil."

There was something going on in Hypnos’ head right now and Aludra didn’t think it was anything nice. She sat on the little brick fence and watched the other chibi, her expression beginning to border on worry. The more she listened, the less fun this whole senshi business was beginning to seem. That there was actually a group of people out there who that thought she was bad and would even try to hurt her was startling. But maybe Hypnos had just been unlucky? Just because the other senshi had lived through bad experiences, didn’t mean she would as well. Aludra had to keep hoping that everything would be fine. If she let herself be afraid of the future, there would be no point in being given these powers at all. “I’ll remember,” she said sincerely, leaning forward and giving Hypnos a smile. “I won’t stop trying to help people, but I’ll be really careful about it.” She hopped off the fence and moved towards Hypnos, opening her arms and offering a hug.

Hypnos was glad she didn't scare Aludra off, although maybe it would have been better if she did. All that matter was that Aludra was aware of the risks and could make appropriate decisions with that knowledge, and knowing she wasn't going stop trying to help people as well as that she was going to be really careful about it warmed Hypnos' worries measurably.
"I'm very pleased to hear that," she said, accepting Aludra's hug with a very soft smile. If anything went wrong, she hoped Aludra would call her.

Aludra gave Hypnos a quick kiss on the cheek as she pulled away. It wasn’t nice seeing someone so upset and she hoped she would only have good news to share with other chibi in future meetings. “Well, I should probably get home soon…” It had been a big night and all she wanted to do now was climb into bed and think about everything she had been told. Aludra took a step away and then stopped, remembering one other question she’d been wondering about. She held up her phone again. “Can I use this to travel to another planet? My own planet? Somebody told me it could be done.”

Hypnos' eyes fell to the phone Aludra held up for a moment as she gauged the question being asked. She couldn't help but feel curious in regard to what Aludra's homeworld was like. She had been to a handful of other senshi's homeworlds before including her own so she knew in which manner senshi could go so she nodded her head.
"Yes," she said softly before her voice cleared a bit. "If you hold down the button in the middle and concentrate really then you'll be teleported to your very own planet. You should prepare yourself before you decide to go though. Without knowing what is up there, you might end up in harm's way with no one there to help you."

Her finger brushed lightly across the middle button. “That’s interesting… thank you.” Aludra wasn’t sure how soon she’d want to go gallivanting off to another planet but the possibility was there and it was exciting. First she would let Celemorrow know what she had discovered. “I really appreciate all your help, Hypnos, and again, I promise to be careful.” She tugged the edge of her hood and smiled. “Good night.” With that she turned, leaping to the roof of the closest house and was gone. Appeal I figured this would be a good place to end. <3 That okay? Oh, and thanks!

Hypnos gave Aludra a small curtsey, and then watched the other teenager disappear. When finally alone, Hypnos' eyes fell to the spot where the youma had been. Her heart felt heavy. There was nothing else to do here though and after wrapping the net around her arm the chibi senshi disappeared, leaving the alley empty once again.
