Welcome to Gaia! ::

"So the energy the wraiths gather goes towards this world that's inside mirrors…" Nausikaa repeated back what Lacerta explained to her. She had often wondered what was on the other side of mirrors, ever since she was a little girl. Her child's mind had conjured fantasy worlds where mothers didn't get sick and die and animals lived in peace with people and the airplanes that filled the sky were magical and wondrous. So to learn that there really was a world inside mirrors was amazing. "It's called Mirrorspace?" She sighed wistfully. "I'd love to see it someday…"

She was even more enchanted by the idea of a realm of floating islands. It sounded like something out of a Miyazaki movie. And the fact that a Dark Mirror Senshi could claim one as their own was nothing short of wondrous. Yeah, Lacerta said you had to be a Super to claim one, but that was not a big deal to Nausikaa. She didn't know how ranking up worked, but she was certain she'd be able to get there eventually.

It was so tempting to just say let's do this and switch factions right this minute. But her cautious side demanded she do more research, talk to more Dark Mirror Senshi. Not that she doubted what Lacerta was saying – she had no reason to question her motives at all. No, it was the whole Chaos alignment thing. Her Order senses were screaming at her to do something, to run or fight or do anything but sit here and listen to a Chaos person. She couldn't, though. Not with the bond they shared of both losing their parents far too young.

"I'm… going to have to think about this," she said at last. "Thank you, though, for talking to me about your faction. That alone has shown me you really don't mean any harm. Unlike the Negaverse."

Nausikaa nodded and gave Lacerta a smile in return. "I'd rather sit and talk than fight too, though I'm really good at fighting. Even unprovoked, though it doesn't take much to set me off these days."

This time she gave in to her feelings and, leaning in, gave the Dark Mirror Eternal a brief but heartfelt hug. "I'll definitely give this some thought. A lot of thought. Thank you again for talking to me, Lacerta. I'll never forget you." Releasing her, Nausikaa stood and stretched. "I need to get home – I have work in the morning. See you around?" She left her last words as a question, in the hopes that she would run into Lacerta again someday.

Turning, she leapt down to the next building, then was off into the night.
