The dark mirror senshi broke into laughter at Takama's reference to him as the enemy after looking him over a couple of times. "I can understand if it was just because you were in a hurry, but you don't want to use up energy? You were bounding from rooftops a second ago. What's the point of having these powers if you're not using them to their full extent? Are you sure you're not just worried about messing up that pretty face?" He sneered and shook his head. "You don't sound too devoted to your alignment of the Order to me."
This guy just seemed more and more frustratingly familiar. The way he smiled, flirted, cupped Ptolemy's face...and that last one was a rather intimate thing to find familiar. Ptolemaeus' brow furrowed slightly when the other spoke, concentrating more on the low tone of his voice rather than the words being spoken, struggling to remember where he might have heard it before. He was so focused, however, he didn't see the fist coming and took it in full force to his jaw. He stumbled backward and fell hard on his butt. Blinking at the pain, he put a hand up to his jowl and felt the area he'd been punched.
Then he laughed, loud and hard. "Wow, you really didn't hold back, did you? Nice. Wonder if that'll be leaving a bruise." It hurt to move his jaw, but as someone who embraced both pain and pleasure, he didn't mind so much. Especially if it allowed him to relieve some of his guilt for seemingly upsetting the page so much. Kicking out his leg from where he lay on the ground, though, he wondered if he could trip the page into falling on top of him.

Takama chewed his bottom lip and looked away. "Travel is easier when I am powered up. That's all. And I just don't feel inclined to fight, in fact, it feels like I should advocate for... peace." Readily admitting that he was a lazy git and didn't want to go home with bruises like that one he eventually would give the senshi chalked up his image too much, so he cut his explanation short.
Well, he had a reason to, as after his punch, that pain he was trying to avoid stung the skin across his knuckles. Maybe he wasn't advocating for peace after all if he was letting his strength get the better of him. And while the note of his devotion to Order went unremarked, one could plainly see the discomfiture the dilemma brought to his face. There really wasn't anything worth fighting for. Yet.
He barely overcame the sweep of the senshi's leg, but he did clumsily falter in front of him. This made him lose his composure and, without delay, he stomped his geta into the small space of roof between Ptolemaeus's legs as if snubbing out whatever inclination he had there. "You have been trying my patience, Mr. Senshi," he said, his words lipped with anger in contrast to his forced smile. All signals within him flashed go, but both irritation and a lackluster desire for a rooftop escapade kept his intentions at bay. For now. "Are we done with your games? Because I would very much like to go now."

Ptolemaeus' brows shot up at the sight of the geta stepping down where it did. His gaze then traveled up that leg to the page's face and forced smile, causing him to grin back sheepishly. "Heheheh...I suppose being trying is a hobby of mine," he admitted.
"By the way, the name's not 'Mr. Senshi'. I'm Sailor Ptolemaeus, Dark Mirror Senshi of Change. And I guess you can go if you really must, but before you do, you could at least give me your name."

Takama almost felt inclined to touch the curve of his lips to make sure what he felt was right; his smile now felt genuine. Should it have been this satisfying to finally hear his name? Smoothly, the page's geta slid against the rooftop as he fixed himself to something more composed; the sharp draw of his neck and face muscles falling slack. It was but a moment for Takama to return to his competent train of thought and for his anger to diminish. At least, now, he could leave.
"I wonder if I should tell you, Ptolemaeus," he said, folding arms across his chest again. "As I'd rather not be known by someone who ruffled my feathers so. You might seek me out for more of these "games"."
As he let his words hang in the air, the page turned, and dismissed himself from the dark mirror's company. With his back turned, he contemplated the matter, and finally gave in to his reluctant decision.
Regarding Ptolemaeus with just the corner of her eye after shifting his chin over his shoulder, he said in a gentle, more teasing fashion, "I'm Takama-Ga-Hara, page of Cosmos. If you ever feel inclined, I would love to "play" just"—he pulled out his kiseru and held it up—"not with this, all right? It really isn't a toy." Then, kissing the tip of it and giving a backhand wave, he bid him goodbye with a "Ciao" and descended to the next rooftop and for home.

"Well it's not like I wouldn't know you if I saw you again, you tease," Ptolemy chuckled softly, attempting to push himself back up onto his feet. "That skimpy outfit and body of yours would probably be recognizable from a mile away." He smiled. "But it's no fun playing games if you're in such a hurry to go about your own business."
Ptolemy watched the page turn to go, not expecting him to respond further, when the other male looked back over his shoulder and glanced at him out the corner of his eye before finally introducing himself. "Hehehe...alright," the senshi agreed. "Perhaps with time you'll remember why it was so important to you - and maybe if there are other uses for it."
Chuckling, he put two fingers to his brow in a casual salute as he followed Takama-Ga-Hara's figure with his gaze until it disappeared into the distance. He still couldn't recall what was so darn familiar about him, but perhaps that was for the best. Turning toward his own school, Ptolemaeus bounded off to try to slip into class if he could still manage to do so without getting caught.Unoderi ((Seems good to me! ^_^ Thanks so much!))
