She kept her eyes peeled until Richtersveld made it back to the park. Immediately, her shoulders went lax as the Squire emerged, and Solaris joined the soft laughter. "You didn't get hurt, did you? Sorry, last time I'd gone through that, it hadn't beaten me up this badly, so I didn't realize..." She peered at the other woman, scanning for signs of injuries. But... her brow furrowed as she glanced up at the much taller woman. "...Mirrorspace? What's that?"
She felt like it was familiar. Something Metis and Realta mentioned. Information she shoved out of her mind, probably, overwhelmed with Earth and life here...
Solaris shook her head, chuckling. More questions. More things she needed to learn and understand here.
But those could wait. For now, she brought out her senshi phone, wincing slightly and trying to ignore the throbbing in her hands. They'd heal. "Do you mind if I add you--ah, wait, knights need a special upgrade for their rings... did you get that?" She was still trying to understand how all this worked. "Just... I thought it'd be nice if we could meet up again, if you're alright with that? Talk. Grab a coffee. Whatever works."
Solaris wanted connections. She wanted to understand this world. She wanted friends. Things she'd lost, but... at least here, she had another chance. And broader speaking, if she wanted to understand how to best help Order here against Chaos, she needed to better understand this war, and meet as many people as she could involved in it.

"I'm okay, really," and even if she hadn't been, Richtersveld would likely be the last person to admit it. Something about paying herself so little attention that it truly hurt, sometimes. "I'm just glad you don't seem to be too hurt... Though do you need anything patched up? I have a first aid kit." A kit she was already getting out as she listened to the other questions, not giving Solaris much time to reject any help-- "Ah, we need an upgrade?" Her brows lifted. "That might explain a few things. No, I don't have anything like an upgrade, just the ring..." She ran her thumb under the ring, briefly shifting its position on her finger. "But I can write you a note? Knight notes reach anyone with no interference. I could even send the dark mirror a message if I wanted to." She didn't particularly want to. "Mirrorspace is the home of the dark mirror court, by the way. They're another chaotic faction here. Not as large as the Negaverse." There were an awful lot of things this Solaris wasn't familiar with, and she was beginning to suspect those wings meant something extraterrestrial. The senshi could come from places other than Earth? Like the Velencians? And here she thought they all had passed.

"You can get it from a Mauvian--if you know one, I'd ask them, otherwise I can introduce you to one. I only know about the upgrade cuz I saw her do it with another knight's ring," Solaris explained, feeling the need to be explicit that her knowledge about knight things was solely opportunistic.
She'd been about to wave off any concerns about her injuries, but Richtersveld was already taking out a kit, and... Solaris pocketed the die, unwrapping the now somewhat bloody and dirty cloth from around her hands so the other woman could see the extent. Deep cuts along her palms and slices in her fingers from where sharp rock pierced the skin, abrasions from skidding... nothing that wouldn't heal. The bleeding had stopped, at least.
"I think I can receive the notes, I just can't respond back? Something like that. But it still works." It just put the responsibility of keeping in contact on the knights who didn't have the upgrade--Solaris was again stuck wondering why Order had devices that weren't automatically meshing with one another, at least while they're operating primarily on the same planet...
She listened as Richtersveld briefly explained what Mirrorspace was... and felt herself bristle a bit, feathers fluffing up. "Another group of Chaos agents? I guess I'll need to keep an eye out for them... Do they pose the same threat to civilians?"

Did she know any Mauvians? She had crossed paths with so few senshi, and had somehow crossed paths with even fewer of their guardians. She sheepishly admitted, "Might need your contact," because it would at least grant her a place to get started. It would be better if she could send messages back and forth, anyway, when it came to the senshi. There was likely utility in that, even if it was just in checking up on them. Richtersveld said nothing specific about the state of Solaris' hands, already setting to work on getting them more appropriately wrapped up. Her wrap wasn't ineffective, she just figured she could do more. Plus, she could make sure the cuts were disinfected--"Be prepared, this might sting a little..." And if it stung a lot, she was definitely making the right decision. But perhaps she could offer something more frustrating than the pain in the cuts to keep Solaris distracted. "Yes and no. Unlike the Negaverse, they can't take starseeds. Like the Negaverse, they can drain energy." She fished something else out of her kit before setting it down on the nearest surface. "They don't seem to have youma, but they do have their own thing I think they call wraiths. I'll explain those to you..."
