To be fair, it didn't seem like Sinope was eager to run off and tell anybody this information yet, and Minchir unduely found himself relaxing into his shoulders. Just enough to keep the strain out of his neck. "The thing is, I don't know. I have absolutely no way of knowing, because I have no idea what you are," he admitted, "for all I know, that information means nothing to you. Maybe who they are means nothing to you and holds no value to you."

One had to keep such secrets locked up tight when it came to overseas battles against the Negaverse, and he'd seen what had happened to those who failed. Despite the dark uniform, Sinope didn't look as though he was...corrupted.

"You don't wear a uniform of the Negaverse...and you don't have the corruption of Metallia marring you. So without knowing where you fall in all of that, for all I know I'm making enemies where I don't need one." But having entirely unknown parties running about was still a problem.

"That's why I was investigating you instead of enjoying the movie," which he was definitely not going to get his $10 back for.

His expression softened. So he had been given the benefit of the doubt but not trusted entirely because the other sailor scout hadn't automatically judged him based on assumptions. Not on his energy signature and not on the color of his sailor fuku. The brunet had been paying attention to the details. Sinope was impressed. It made him wonder if Minchir had powered up during the movie because he'd seen his mirrorwraith, though, or himself directly.

"I give you my word I won't tell anyone your secret," he said, studying his peer. "So will you let me go?"

Minchir regarded Sinope for a long time as the field of light dropped, finally opening his eyes to blink a few times. Bright sunlight had a way of being a bit over the top and even after not looking directly into it he felt like he could still see it.

"I can agree to that. But if anything happens to any of them, I'll come after your head and I will throw it at the feet of any responsible - your body might not necessarily come with." He'd seen enough murder on both sides to be ready for it. "Are you sure you're not going to finish the movie though?"

He was definitely going to sneak back in to hopefully not miss too much good stuff.

What? He was agreeing to letting him go just like that?

No question about who he was with or what he had been doing powered up in the theater? Maybe he had overestimated this guy's shrewdness after all. Too trusting. The threats were all well and good, but they still rang hollow in Sinope's ears.

"If you went after my head, how did you plan to come find me?" he said before he could think twice about speaking. He was still too shocked that the White Moon Senshi seemed to be taking the situation so lightly. "You don't even know my name or who I am or where I'm from."

Perhaps, just as the other's power had worn off, his own magic had as well and the feeling that he knew some dangerous secret wasn't as strong. Maybe the guy's mind was already too set on returning to his movie for him to care much anymore.

Well, peculiar as it was to go from fearing for people's lives to wanting to finish a movie, Sinope wasn't going to complain. He'd accomplished what he had set out to do.

"Nah - I never meant to watch it in the first place. I hate horror movies," he explained, waving a hand as he turned to go. "Well, then...have fun."

The million dollar question: How did Minchir plan to find Sinope again if it came to that?

"You won't be the first mark I've hunted down, don't you worry." It sounded genuine, and yet Minchir just smiled a friendly smile. Murder with a kind face, perhaps worse in some ways than someone who was straight out threatening. "I mean, yeah, you may have some of that information on my end, but..." he slowly shrugged. "If your first targets are the one located here in Destiny City, all it takes is extra vigilance in my part. The ones located outside of it will be harder to hunt down, and all that takes is an email for a heads-up to keep them on their toes."

Would Sinope travel overseas just to mess with 4 teenagers?

"What? How can you hate horror movies?" he seemed genuinely curious - but not everybody was made out of a lack of fear response.

Sinope cast Minchir a sincerely disturbed look. What kind of nutjob was this guy to be able to smile like that while assuring someone he could hunt them down to lop their head off? "Relax; no need for all that. It'd be a waste of time and effort for both of us. I don't do much unless it benefits me directly and harming other people rarely does."

His tone, which he'd purposely tried to make apathetic, became incredulous at the question regarding horror movies.

"How can you like them? They're awful! I mean come on, don't you have enough reasons to get scared in real life, being a senshi? Why would you ever want to subject yourself to more of that than necessary?"

"I'll have to hope there's no reason for that. I'm trusting you on this," was Minchir a nut job? Probably, but it was how he'd kept him and his in one piece for too long.

He frowned at Sinope's lack of interest (or enjoyment) of horror movies. "What makes them awful? The momentary racing of your heart? That sometimes the victims deserved it? Or that sometimes they mean bad people are that way because they're broken good people?" he shrugged. "Horror movies keep me thankful that my life is a bit more straightforward."

Then, after a moment, "Well, it was before I awoke anyways. Sure keeps my panic responses down - I could have slugged you in the face!"

The fact that he said he was trusting Sinope - and so easily, at that - just proved to him that Minchir was crazy, but hey, wasn't his problem.

Planting his hands on his hips, the redhead's incredulity only grew. "The 'victims' thing depends on the plot of the movie, but I'm talking about what defines horror as a genre. The genre of horror is supposed to frighten, scare, disgust, or startle people. Which one of those are you fond of, exactly?"

Sinope's mouth twisted in distaste. "My heart gets enough of a workout as a senshi without me purposefully trying to give myself a heart attack with a fake scare, thank you very much. To each their own, though, I guess."

At the mention of having possibly been slugged, he shrugged. "I like to think we have those instincts for a reason. And anyway, not like I wouldn't have been used to it." Tilting his head, he asked, "Weren't you eager to get back to that movie?" Why did the White Moon Senshi care what some random person like himself thought of horror films?

Minchir simply grinned. "I dunno," he admitted flatly. It would take a lot of thought to really pin that particular nuance down. "Maybe I just like knowing that when it counts, I won't let fear paralyze me." But it also meant that when it counted, he wouldn't let fear stop him long enough to consider the bad parts as well.

When Sinope reminded him that yes, he was missing his movie, Minchir nodded. "Now I just have to circle back around to the front, so..." he folded his arms behind his head, simply continuing to smile. "Hopefully I won't find you getting into mischief again, yeah? Be careful out there,"

You person from a faction he couldn't place properly. With that, he actually turned his back on the darkly dressed Senshi to start his walk back to the front of the Theater - lord knew the doors they'd just came out of wouldn't let him back in.

Sigh

"Oh." So, basically, it sounded like he liked using horror movies to desensitize himself to fear. That wasn't a bad idea. Not that Sinope thought he himself would have been able to do it, but he didn't really want to since he valued his fear. He felt it made him sharper, kept him on his toes, and more concerned about self-preservation, which allowed him to survive. While Sinope considered courage a synonym for foolishness, however, he knew others valued it. And for those who valued it, that strategy for banishing fear wasn't a bad one. "I guess that's a smart way to get braver if that's what you're trying to do."

The redhead frowned in response to Minchir's sunny smile, puzzled by the Order being, and crossed his arms over his chest. "Yeah...thanks." Threatening him, then warning him to be careful? Sinope really didn't know what to make of this guy. He might have asked him his name, but as he hadn't been asked his own, he didn't want to seem any more invested in the other than his peer and thus held his tongue on the matter. "Enjoy your movie."

What a weird guy. Shaking his head, the younger teen turned the opposite direction and disappeared into the night.
