Listening to the Captain he did as she did. His back pressing to the brick wall, while slate eyes peered out at the street. People walking past seemed to not notice, which was good. He knew his own clothing would stand out, normally he wouldn't care but when trying to hide he did.
It seemed she didn't like waiting, he didn't mind it so much. There was a reason for it, thus it was tolerable. He could let his mind wander anyway, partially at least. "Of course and I'm ready to try it." He said nodding his head, eager to try and get this lesson down. He wasn't one for slacking off on things.
"Would the energy help with my being tired and sick?" He questioned, wondering if it would aid him, if so he'd help himself and gather for the negaverse. "That I think is a big question I have right now. As I can't properly serve while tired and sick." And he didn't like that, it also made normal mundane things difficult.

"Well... It helps with making wounds close up and heal, so I guess it might help with being sick... Through you shouldn't eat up too much of it. Not only does that mean less energy you can turn in... Well, I doubt you fancy turning into one of the 'monsters' that cover the news, don't you ?"
Fluorite looked completely serious.
"This one looks like an easy one." The man was obviously swaying back and forth a bit. Not much in term of coordination left there.

"No, I wouldn't want to. But a little would work, if it'll allow me to properly operate. I wouldn't like to faulter and put myself or anyone else at some risk." He said honestly. At least now he knew, he could take a little energy himself.
"You'll have to tell me, after this, how to turn energy in." That said he moved forward as fast as he could, grabbing from behind, though he was on tip toes to do so, hand over the mouth tightly as he dragged him back into the alley. Sort of like one of those spiders he hated so much, a trap door spider. God, it was another reason to hate spiders, you could just be walking by and the thing turn up and bite you.
The man in his hold as he looked back to Flourite, recalling her words of picturing the energy draining away he held on as he concentrated on what he wanted, energy.

Fluorite only nodded her approval, remaining silent and mostly hidden as the blonde moved in for the strike. She knew how hard it could be before you got the hang of it, through energy gathering had been one of the things she had mastered rather easily.
The auras had been the most troublesome thing for her.
She watched him, and couldn't help but be impressed. He was doing well for his first time, and didn't seem to struggle too much with the height problem. Boy did she know about that !
Slowly, a small orb was forming in his hand. "Good, good, you got it..."

He had a little more height than her, so that helped a lot. Not to mention the guy was drunk, that helped immensely he was sure. He might stick to this and terrifying people at night who were jogging and such. Hope the act of surprise allowed him the time to do what he needed, he could afford to let someone get the upper hand, given his height or rather the lack of it.
"Glad to know." A smile flashed in her direction. "Just let me know when I've gotten enough." He didn't know if this could kill, and he'd prefer not racking up dead bodies. Not only for the guilt factor but the idea of it being a crime and not wanting to somehow be caught.
Auras might be troublesome, keeping track of what feeling for what. It seemed like a lot to keep track of, though he'd work on organizing it in his mind as good and bad; for now.

Fluorite kept close attention as the orb continued to grow in size. "About now is good. You can can further but then they pass out." Truth to be told, even she didn't know if you could kill someone while draining energy. It had never happened to her, as far as she knew, and neither had she heard of anyone doing that.
So she assumed not, unless if you were clearly going for it.
"Throw him back toward the road." She said. "And back up further in. Usually they're confused enough to not backtrack or realize what happened, but better safe than sorry. Also, energy itself has an aura, so be careful. If the orb breaks, you lose it."

It would be interesting if you could kill someone this way, a very good thing to know so it could be avoided. But he didn't think on that right now, right now he was focusing to cut the flow of energy and take the orb into his hand fully.
Nodding to her words the orb was slipped into a pocket before the drunk was handled, pushed out of the alley they were in. "Now how do I...turn these in?" He asked, indicating his pocket and what was in it.
"I assume I don't just shift to civilian and it goes to where it's needed." If that was the case though it was easy, easier than he'd thought it would be. "Is there a certain amount of energy, or orbs, we need to collect in a certain amount of time?" Since he really was a bit clueless it was best to ask, rather than find out later on.

"You give them to a captain, or a general, and they'll transport it to subspace for you." She said with a nod. Hell, he could just give it to her right now if he wanted !
"We do have a quota to respect, but it varies a little depending on the needs for energy at the time. Usually just keep a decent stream going in and you're doing good." She nodded.

"Makes sense, easy and it gets there hand delivered." He said with a small smile. "Then we can continue and when the night ends I'll unload whatever I gather, and give it to you." A bit more of a smile.
"That's good to know. If the need goes up I'll know some how on my own, I assume." While he spoke he was watching for more people. It seemed either this was a good bar to go to, or a night where people liked to get particularly drunk, as yet another person stumbled out. This time a pair, a male and a female.
"Take one and I'll take the other?" He didn't want to waste too much time, and let them go.

Man, there were indeed lots of drunks tonight. But then, Fluorite had gotten pretty knowledgeable about people's stupidity since she started this.
Getting shitface drunk in a town full of monsters and, most stupidly, not doing it in your home, but it a bar which you then walked out of ?
Duuuumb.
"Let's get at 'em, then." The true question was, should she show off or not ? On one hand, it might give him an edge from when he ranked up - yes, she was convinced this was a 'when' on this one - but on the other hand, it could be a little dicky, depending on how much trouble the other decided to give him.
"Wanna see something cool ?" Well, she'll let him decide.

"Sure." bobbing of his head as he turned his eyes on Flourite. "Anything I can see, and possibly learn, I want to see." He spoke honestly. He needed to learn whatever he could, from who ever he could.
It was good to learn everything he could now, before he was more on his own and had to focus on helping others. As he was sure if he gained rank he'd be helping the newest members to the Negaverse.
"It's something I'll be able to do as well?"

"Not until you're a captain." She said. "And even then, i'lt take some practice before you can get it down..."
She figured that if she was going to show off, she might as well do it without anything distracting him. She leaned against the wall, and it looked like nothing was happening, the couple getting away, followed by others...
But eventually, it became clear what she was doing - there was an orb slowly growing in her own hand as she remotely snatched just a bit of energy from everyone that passed by.

He hadn't seen anything, they'd gotten away as had many other people. Finally he turned to Flourite, to question her, but stopped short. His mouth open, just ready to issue hus question, when he saw that energy gathering. "Oh."
Snapping his mouth shut then as he watched. "That makes things easier." A lot easier, he couldn't wait till he could do that. It kept him from ducking in and out of an alley and fighting people. Less risk of being seen while grabbing people, weather by people or senshi. It would make things safer, which was better for all involved. "When I get to Captain I'll have to ask you how to do that." Maybe he wouldn't, but he might have to. Best to let her know he'd be asking her now, just in case he did have to ask her, rather than later.
"A safe way to collect energy, I like it."

"It's not as easy as I make it look." Countless hours of practice to get to this point, yes. "It's actually really hard at first, but yeah, it's so much easier once you finally get it down. Takes a bit longer, but attracts less attention so you can stay in one spot a little longer. It kinds of balances out."
She moved then, letting the orb slide down in his open palm. "You can have this one to help with that sickness of yours, but you should probably still sleep. I'd say go back home and sleep, then take it in the morning. You won't be able to sleep with energy, I don't think." She didn't really know - she'd never had to consume any herself.

Surprise etched itself over his features. She was giving it to him, he could earn his own and he was sure she could use it for quota. "Your sure? I can earn my own." The blond questioned, though he was very grateful. It meant something to him, he wasn't one who got a lot from other people he'd only just met. Seeing as most people he just met he found some way to upset, insult, or what have you.
"I think I have what's going around, that flu strain. Same symptoms, my friends brother is a doctor. He's told me it's the same thing, inability to sleep and now everything else." He didn't like that, and the flu...wasn't that something which didn't go around in the summer? "Not to sound like I should be in a padded room but I keep hearing sounds, there keeping me awake." He honestly hadn't a clue, and no one else seemed to hear the sounds which kept him up, and half paranoid as he wandered about Lily's home in the same fashion he'd wandered his own.
"I'll try to sleep though, and take it in the morning. And when I'm able to learn this trick I will, it will come in useful. Especially if I get a weapon similar to my currant one." The risk of being seen and getting into a fight, due to gathering energy as he was now, was great and with a little weapon it would be hard to fight. So anything to avoid a fight was good.
