Welcome to Gaia! ::

How much about Lesath's personal feelings on her departure did Navi feel comfortable sharing? How much did Lesath want to put behind her? She was going to have to tread carefully through this answer. "Because she's one of my best friends. She understood what I was going through, and she knew how much Chaonis and I loved each other. She was there, helping to rescue me from Painite." Her lips pressed into a thin line, musing for a moment, her memories twisted and disconnected. Gaps that didn't align with what she remembered of her civilian life. Two halves of a whole that didn't fit together anymore.

Trying to piece them together always gave her a bit of a headache, because the more she tried to arrange the timeline of events, the harder it got to recall specifics, and no one matched from powered to civilian life anymore, not like Chaonis and his family did now. She got to keep her memories, all of them, but they were scattered and confusing.

Focusing on the Negaverse was a little easier. Navi nodded to the question. "After Ares gathered enough of us to make a proper court an alliance as struck up between us and the Negaverse. Essentially, we were o the same side, they were supposed to leave us be, and we we meant to stay out of their way. For a while it worked out, though there were a small handful of people on either side that didn't follow those rules." She shifted her head, hand coming up to sweep her hair over her shoulder to show off the long scar on the side of her neck. "Painite, for one, is just crazy and violent." She let the hair fall back into place. She had numerous other scars from the general, but they'd been made after the alliance had been broken, and really, Navi didn't feel like going over all of it again.

"I think it all fell apart when some of our wraiths escaped our control and ran a muck, but I'm not positive on that. It was a while ago, and I was dealing with my own issues at the time."

She couldn't say she was entirely surprised that the royalty and more senior members of the court hadn't mentioned her much if at all to the newly awakened. Thy might not have harbored her ill-will, and still counted her as a friend and ally, but she was a cautionary tale, and the idea of senshi shedding their dark mirror lives for new ones frightened them. "I'm sure it's still hard on her. We were very close, and even though she supported my choices, It can't be easy on her."

They might have all been unwitting soldiers in this celestial war, but that didn't negate their very human thoughts and feelings.

"I can give the names and basic descriptions of a few others I know to be non-confrontational to your court, if you'd like." Her entire new family, to start.

Lips pressing again, Navi tried to keep herself from frowning too severely at just the mention of Painite. She'd brought the general up, and knowing to avoid her was certainly a good idea, but she still hated the woman with every fiber of her small being. "She's not physically imposing. A smaller woman, almost petite, with short brown hair and a brown and cream uniform. She carries a spear as a weapon. If you see someone like that, do yourself a favor and run to the nearest mirror. She is crazy, and violent." An understatement, in her opinion.

"And Chaonis..." her features softened as the conversation slid in his direction. A small smile blooming on soft lips. "He's tall, fit. Brown hair, dark eyes, trimmed facial hair. His fuku is plastic armor and caution tape. Ally might be a strong word, but he won't harm anyone from the court so long as they don't initiate violence towards him." There was a small thoughtful pause before she continued. "If you're in trouble, and happen to cross his path, mention me and I think he would protect you."

This was better. Logos might not have been exactly comfortable sitting beside her, but she was sitting, and they were talking. It was infinitely preferable to the apprehension and fear that had been rolling off the younger senshi in waves up to this point.

Navi nodded, an odd little smile playing over her lips. "I don't really interact with her much by the time she'd joined us, there was too much going on..." Her life had been so chaotic. "But I knew Acubens before she joined the court. We crossed paths on occasion, I kept trying to talk her into joining. Eventually one of us got through to her."

The smile faded at that odd bit of twisted logic, and the eternal shook her head. "You're never above the need for protection, not in this life. I was an eternal when Painite took me. It's not always about skill or training, anyone can be ambushed or out numbered."

Navi shook her head in confirmation, wondering if Acubens wasn't in the habit of discussing her roots with the newer members of her own court. And if she wasn't, why? It seemed like a good story of experience that spoke to the merits of joining the Dark Mirror.

How large had it grown since she'd started distancing herself from them? How large was it now? The redhead remembered when there was only a small handful of them. When they'd truly been a family. At a certian point that feeling had begun to fade, even if she still held onto her love for those original few. It just wasn't as close knit and intimate as it used to be. How could it be?

"Maybe, but she's crazy, and not afraid of getting hurt if it means getting in close." Navi shuddered. "Please don't under estimate her. If you see her, run for the nearest mirror."

Navi rose to her feet a moment after Logos did, palms moving automatically to her skirts to pluck them back into place, settling ruffled fabric into pretty lines once again.

She smiled at the dark mirror as she looked back at her again. "You're welcome. I hope it comes in handy." She really did. Logos seemed like a sweet girl, if a bit overly confident and ambitious. Navi remembered being that young and eager to please, and she also remembered getting herself into any number of stupidly dangerous situations as she tried to prove herself.

"Please take care of your," she called after the departing senshi, lifting a hand to wave as she melded back into the darkness.
