"Takes about 5 seconds to go off if nothing hits me." He knew this part of pure instinct, now. "Then about 10 seconds of being invisible. I kind of wish it lasted longer, but it's enough to get the hell out or land a good hit in, I guess ?"
But still, in a team full of physical fighters, more or less, that might one day come in very useful indeed.

"One shot, like the teleporting." Oh, yes, Ilmenite got it entirely, and pulled a little face at Alunite -- definitely sympathetic. It'd be nice if he could do that more often. It'd be more useful. He quick twitched a shrug.
"Gives you time to power down, too, out of sight. And then they'll never find you." He didn't expect an answer. Instead he shifted, gesture Alunite to the scene below, sending him off toward the solitary girl who didn't quite seem able to walk a straight line. She was disappearing down a side-alley, now, retreating as they chattered.
"All about taking advantage of opportunity."

"True." While they were chattering, their target was getting away. And apparently it was his job to catch it.
Alunite frowned a bit, but jumped down as quietly as he was able to - it wasn't hard to catch up on her, then catch her proper - she did manage a scream before one of Alunite's gloved hands clamped on her mouth.
Whoops. A little sloppy, there. "So what... do I do now ?"

Ilmenite had followed more quietly, along the top of the buildings, lurking behind to watch instead of interfering too much. If all had gone well, he would have left Alunite to his prospective victim and let him take care of the rest of it on his own. AS it was, though, things definitely didn't go well.
It was with a sigh that he dropped down next to Alunite, offering the girl a twitch of a smile meant to calm. It failed. She looked panicked by the attack of two strange men, the whites of her eyes showing around the edges.
"Be nice, ah, Alunite. Just take her hand." His voice was soothing but failed to sooth. "Not going to hurt her, just borrow a little energy."

Take her hand ? What did taking her hand had to do with anything ?
Nonetheless, he complied. The girl didn't like this, but was unable to fend him off. Uh. This was definitively new.
Just think of pulling the energy to you. Fluorite had told him. It looked so easy while she was doing it.
"Hm." He tried visualizing just that. It... didn't do much. "I don't think it's..."
Well. It was working. There was something in his hand, suddenly. The girl drooped a bit in his hold. "Oh, I think I got it." Why was it so hard ? He frowned a bit.

"Not hard at all." Like Ilmenite was echoing the thought. He stepped in easily to settle a hand under the girl's head, to catch her about the waist, so she could ease more gently to the ground. He had no problem with this one, there was no need to let her slam to the earth and injure herself. Perhaps his attitude of 'help them when they don't piss you off' was a little bit like playing judge, but it made sense in the moment.
"She won't feel great in the morning, but she'll be fine." He shot a look up at the senshi, with that, shrugging a little bit. "I mean, it sucks, but she'll recover."

Not had for who was the question, really, through he did not speak of it out loud. Instead, he helped lowering the woman on the ground carefully as she lost conciousness. He also seemed to see no need to injure her needlessly.
After that was done, he spend a moment looking at the small orb in his hand. It seemed so small, so fragile. And yet... it was the secret of their victory, apparently.
"Ah... Thank you." He nodded. "I should probably get going soon, though. Fluorite must be looking for me..." He dropped the name without thinking much about it.

"Oh, hah." He blinked, coming into focus, Ilmenite himself not one bit concerned about the poor unconscious girl. She'd live. She'd had friends. Drunk friends, yes, and probably irresponsible, but they always came looking eventually. Frequently they milked the drama, great crocodile tears trickling down their faces as they frantically called out the search...
"Yeah. The hair." That made him grin, suddenly, his eyebrows raised and shoulders rolling as he eased back a step. "Tell her I helped. And that I said hi, and we should go out together again at some point. Worked out pretty well before..."

Uh ? He had missed something here, apparently. Did they know each other ?
Uh.
"I'll do that." He would gave to grill his sister for info, through. He nodded, then worked his way back on the rooftops.
