Welcome to Gaia! ::

Phact watched his back, not following as she crossed her arms under her chest and shrugged. "So not even her devoted followers know what she is up to. I don't know if that's reassuring or not..." Following someone blindly was a terrifying thought. It really meant you never knew what was to come next.

"You gave up that life Gev." Phact finally said. "You chose willingly for what reason I do not know but you did." Finally now, she walked behind him. "But it isn't worth lingering anymore. Unless you want to go back that badly..."

She watched his shoulders. How Kai and him differed. If she had said the same thing to the Mars Knight, he would have gone on a tangent about how horrible they were and selfish.

"But as for what Kai is planning, why don't you ask him yourself?" Casting a smile she continued. "I have a feeling he would always welcome more help. Besides, you might enjoy yourself more with him."

Red eyes gazed at the scar on his hand. It almost reminded her of a brand more so than a burn mark the way it took shape.

"You make it more sound like a bee hive working for a queen. Good what is due for the whole. If you don't, a solider bee takes you out back and has you put down." There was a small bit of softness in her voice. Just a hint as she worried he would turn angry she felt that way when clearly something about it still attracted him. She had to wonder if it was the sense of fear her used to strike into people.

Now, he walked as a knight who seemed...unsatisfied.

Surprisingly, that she could understand.

"Look, it isn't much but if you ever do need anything, or just someone who enjoys chatting over..." Her eyes looked at the tote "Coffee, let me know. As for getting in touch with Kairatos, don't you have one of those fancy rings knights use to send messages?"

The glare made her pull back slightly, allowing the space between them to expand. For a long moment, Phact closed her eyes and let it all sink in before she took a deep breath and pushed on.

"I can offer you a pair of ears to listen when you are angry." which, she guessed, was often by how he stormed off.

Heels clicked now as the bird hit her stubborn point. "Think about it. You may not like me very much but I'm not asking you to. Though I promise, I'm not that bad...even for a senshi."

A shrug, she let him walk on. "I'll mention it to Kai for you if that is what you wish. After that, ball is in your court. Though realize, everything you just spoke to me about was my questioning. Kai doesn't even know I was looking for you."

Did he really just decide to yell that down the alley way? Phact could have sworn she heard a cat run away from the half echo.

Standing there, one arm back on her hip, the senshi shook her head. He had made such a point to walk away that this seemed to be defeating that point.

Remaining silent, she let her heels click against the ground. The distance needed to be closed so this didn't become a screaming match. "Did I ever ask you to trust me?" Phact spoke slightly loader than a normal voice. "Either you will or you won't. But I wanted to be honest with you that he did not give me a list of questions and say 'go! Find this knight and pick his brain'. The information will help in the long run but it was my idea to come to you because in my mind, you have alot to offer. Even if others do not see it. Even if you don't see it yourself."

Though she was closer, Phact still kept a small distance. Something about his eyes....eye...

"This is your world now as much as it is mine. No one is going to tell you what to do or who to be anymore. You have to find your own path."

Now though, she did smile. "And I have to thank you too. Back some time, you asked me what I fought for. Others had asked me as well but your words stuck with me. So I hope you don't mind if I beat the tar out of your old partners."

Down she went...hard.

The reaction was a surprise and came in hard. It was her mistake for being somewhat trusting. Her mistake for not at least having some guard up. Otherwise, maybe she could have countered and at least kept her her feet.

Now, she was on her back, gazing up at the one eyed man in surprise. But that surprise quickly switched. All signs of anything worth talking to were gone as those red eyes narrowed.

"I see. So either you don't like being thanked or..." Phact used a moment to roll away from a direct line to him and find her feet. "You have a stronger tie holding you to them." Now, even as she found herself on guard, she had to wonder...where did his loyalty rest. Her guess...to himself.

"A threat?" Phact shook her head as her eyes glanced towards the weapon. She knew knight weapons had limits but that was not a limit she wanted to test. He was a known killer at one...

"So then, are you just a wolf in sheep's clothing then?" Phact slipped her foot back to balance her weight. "A loyal to their cause agent dressed in white now?" She knew distance was needed to avoid his strikes but how much length did he have on that chain?

"Because they pledged their lives to lies and tricks. They made a choice to serve chaos and now they get what they chose. Most of us did not have a choice but we have a destiny to prevent them from ruling this planet and all others. If I see an agent harming life, I will go after them. " Phact admitted, her own eyes glaring.

"Snap my neck, Black Knight. But you will have more than one seek you out for revenge. So I do hope you enjoy." Phact's innocence she had ages ago was leaving her. When her choice was made, when she had stepped on her planet, she knew what she needed to do. "But I will not allow them to the life on this world. Energy draining or not, death of innocence is not needed."

"I'm still not worried, oh great wolf." Phact half smiled a half sneer. "Your bite is painful, I am sure, but I've come back from pain before."

"You do have a pretty speech though. Sadly, you are now dealing with people who have seen those same you want to 'save' act on their own free will without the master pulling the chain. Always for the Negaverus but how many have to die just because they had a pretty starseed and you needed an energy boost. You want to 'save' them? How noble. Countless don't want to be though and you need to see that as well. They aren't the same as they once were when you walked with them as the great man you claim to be."

"Though I do see you serve yourself. You were Gany's colors but I can tell you would never listen to her." Her eyes scanned them. To be honest, she didn't fault him for that bit. "But tell me this then, oh protector, who do you kill then? If not the agents, how do you curb that blood lust? Should I tell my fellow senshi to stand guard...."

When the weapon disappeared, Phact took the chance to slip back several more feet.

She said nothing to him as he picked up the tote and turned from her. But watched the lines of his body. One thing was clear...whatever she said to him...nothing would change in this man. It would take erasing things that no one could erase. Changing things no one could...

"Take a look at what you have now. You lost the powers of an agent but gained the abilities of a knight. Maybe what you seek isn't here." How many of them had found their answers elsewhere...

A hand went to her heart as she pictured that sand covered world.

She had.

"I'll let Kairatos of Mars know if he ever wants to speak to you, to seek you out himself. That way, you won't have to deal with his messenger bird." The words held annoyance as she too turned from him. But not to walk. She would make use of her added skill in jumping to take to the roof line.

The open air gave her freedom.
