At the moment, her attention was upon the task at hand, not so much about who she nearly cut the hands off of. Fortunately, no limbs were lost, but it was mostly thanks to the knight's efforts, not her own. The one thing that did manage to catch her attention was the stumbling manner in which the Captain was attempting to flee.
Her lashing out paused, leaving the rainbow to trail on the ground, any unfortunate plants underneath it getting scorched and dried out from the colored light. Her eyes narrowed in the fleeing Negaverse agent's direction, watching him carefully before he vanished from sight. She was wary about the Negaverse's ability to teleport, thanks to a certain flamingo-wielding Captain. Her body remained tense for several moments, as she continued to try to pay attention for the boy's energy signal.
Only once she was absolutely certain that he was gone, she unclenched her hand, which caused that rainbow of hers to vanish completely.
"...Alright... now that that d**k-face ain't 'round..." The blonde turned to face the knight, stalking over to him. Once she was in front of the spot he had practically collided with the ground, she reached out a gloved hand in his direction. She held it in front of him, as if to help him get back up off the ground.
"What's yer name? Ya look like someone I know..." She was pretty up front with where her mindset was at this very moment.

Seeing the Captain teleport once before made Kailash a little anxious. Did that mean he was going to try and strike from a different place? From behind? He looked behind him for good measure and then started to scan the area. The green haired page was ready to put his hands over his head - really because he had no idea what else to do - until the Eternal Senshi started speaking. Her statement made it seem like an all clear.
Kailash turned his attention back to her, blinking in surprise when there was a gloved hand in front of his face. He took it without hesitation, pulling himself upright with her help - and surprised with how strong she was. "I... what?" This was even more surprising. No matter how hard he looked at Sailor Iris, he couldn't really place a name on her. It was like his mind was messing with his focus, everytime he really tried to look at her it was like his brain was trying to tell him otherwise.
"Sh-" He began, managing to stop himself before he told her his actual name. Something was telling him that would be a good idea. "Kailash. Apparently I'm a Page of Uranus." He told her, unsure of it himself.
"And what do I do with this?" There was still an orb in his hand, and the page held it out to her.

Soon enough this knight was up at her level, and they were facing eye to eye. Once he was at her level, she insistently took the hand that he had connected with her own and shifted it into a handshake. It was a first impression and a proper greeting in her mind, and she made certain her own handshake was firm as it could be.
Mid-shake, he managed to get his name out in the air, which led to the blonde forcing the handshake to stop. "Kailash..." she repeated, looking at him more intently. She eventually released his hand and took a step back to give him a bit more space.
"...well... that explains everythin' fer me..." she managed to utter in a vague manner, definitely not addressing the knight from Uranus. Before he could try to ask the meaning of her words, she then interjected with her own introduction. "...I go by Sailor Iris... if ya didn't figure that out already... Senshi rarely need t'introduce themselves... a lotta their attacks have their names in it already... kinda gay if ya ask me... but... whatever, ya know?" She shrugged as if to vocalize a sort of indifference, but despite her gestures, her eyes still seemed to be on the boy.
When he voiced his question about the object in his hand, the senshi gave an easy reply. "...break th'f*cker open... yer not a baby, I don't need t'hold yer hand so ya can do that, right?" With a pinky, she briefly pointed to the pipe that the Uranus knight possessed.
"...ya could probably use that t'crack a hole in it or somethin'..."

How did his name explain everything about him? Was it the Page part or the Uranus part perhaps? Did he already have a reputation he wasn't aware of? Kailash blinked confused, not even registering that she had turned her aided hand into a hand shake gesture of greeting.
"Iris?" He questioned, a little bit of interest in the name she had given him. "Like the goddess?" True, the page didn't know a lot about mythology but he knew bits and pieces here and there given how many space objects were names after pieces from history. If he remembered right... it was an asteroid?
There was also something else that perked an interest in her mind, her manner of speech ... seemed really familiar. Which was saying a lot given how little interactions he had on a daily basis. The first person he thought of was shot down the instant it floated up. No way, nooo way.
His yellow eyes turned back to the orb in his hands, "Oh, so its not like disastrous to break them?" That was a relief at least, he knew from gaming experience that sometimes breaking things was bad news; rarely good unless it was like Zelda or something.
As she suggested, Kailash lifted up the pipe in his other hand, using the blunt edge to puncture a hole in the side. Slowly the contents filtered out until the orb itself disintegrated before his eyes.

"Iris... yes... Goddess... no..." Her lips stretched out wide, since she wasn't exactly pleased by such a potential label. It probably didn't help that she knew that if she wasn't careful, she had wings that could sprout out of her back like she was a Goddess.
Which was completely overrated.
Eventually her lips opened up to nearly croak out "...named after th'asteroid..." Yes, she knew the asteroid was named after the goddess, but she was going to be stubborn and deny the correlation.
As the Page began to tend to the orb, the senshi pointed out what she felt was obvious. "I just broke a f*ck ton of those... if it was so disastrous, then sh*t woulda already gone down just a bit earlier..."
There was a slight pause before she finally added "...sorry 'bout almost cuttin' yer hand off earlier... didn't think ya were gonna do jack sh*t... since ya kinda... looked like ya didn't know how t'make a fist even if someone bunched up yer fingers for ya."

Oh, so he was right. Kailash pushed his lips upward and nodded, his face akin to the popular 'not bad' meme. Honestly, he hadn't thought much of their names having encountered only a few senshi, but most of their names didn't seem as obvious as hers was; HugBell, Libra and... oh he didn't catch that one girl's name. And he was a knight of Uranus. For a moment, his expression turned a little serious as he was pulled into thought.
Just how much of this dealt with space?
He wanted to ask her. But her insult sent him off the path. Well, it was degrading sure, but it wasn't something the new Page could deny. Kailash shrugged like it was nothing at all, "really didn't plan on it." He admitted. "I was ready to run the other way," he jabbed his thumb behind him, "but that bag kind of seemed important and stuff. I'm really not much for fighting.
"Is there going to be more of this, now that I'm like this?" He asked.

Gold eyes narrowed at the shaggy haired Page's words, not seeming to like what was being said. She'd normally be in some person's face if they had been so spineless, but she seemed to be inexplicably holding back. Instead, in what could be described as an even, serious tone, she gave him some words of advice.
"Yer gonna have t'learn... This sh*t... this sh*t with the Negaverse... and Chaos in general... it ain't goin' away if ya run off and hide."
She looked at him intensely, keeping all of her breath in her chest, almost to the point of hurting as she kept looking at the boy. When she finally let the breath escape her, she stepped forward a few times, walking past the boy before she stopped.
"I'll teach ya how t'fight... I know we'll meet again... but fer now... jus' go home... rest up... clear yer head... Ya just found yer way t'Wonderland, Kailash..."
The Page was now safe. That's all she really needed to worry about for now. Having given her two cents, she crouched down, and soon enough, she bounded off on her way.

Now Kailash was all alone, standing in the open quad of Destiny City University. He could tell she was trying to hold something in when she briefly gave him a few words of advice. Anger? Resentment? Annoyance?
The page wasn't too sure really, but he let her words mull around in his head. Repeating almost as he thought them over. She'd train him, she said. But he'd still have to learn not to run off, he honestly wasn't to sure what he made of all this. He was finding himself in something he had honestly hoped he'd never get involved in.
With a heavy sigh, he finally left. Not in the flourish that Sailor Iris had done, and especially not how the Captain had. Kailash simply walked him, somewhere along the way figuring out how to transform back into ordinary Sheldon Hobbes.
