Maia faced flushed a bit when Valhalla questioned about Lassell. She gave a small smile and grinned. "It's still pretty new, but he's a sweetheart," she said softly her eyes wandering over to where Lassell currently stood with three other familiar faces.
She turned back to Valhalla quite happy to hear he was okay. They'd both suffered the same fate, something Maia felt guilty about, but she was extremely grateful to her friends because they'd saved her life. If they hadn't shown up she might be corrupted or dead.
Maia pushed the thoughts away, giving a small at Val's fussing over the name tag. Maia didn't really care where it went, it just needed to be visible, right? She gave Gany a cheeky grin and nodded, "of course. I haven't had the chance to really tell anyone yet. So you get to be the first. It just sort of happened, you know."
She looked to Val her grin turned into a smirk, "you actually already met me before, though he and I weren't dating at the time" she said softly. Not a real confirmation of who he was, but instead, a hint. It was not as thought she would be able to keep it a secret, it would be a little pointless, as she was often out and about with Trevor.
Her eyes roamed the group breifly keeping note of who came in and who grabbed a name tag. Many of the faces were familiar having come to round one, but other's were new. It gave Maia a sense of pride and accomplishment to be able to help other's in this way.
She looked to Ganymede and Valhalla again, "are you two going to participate or would you like to help keep things in order. Zia and Chaonis helped keep things together last time, but it might not be as necessary this time."

"Mm," Alfheim grimaced. He still didn't know the whole shebang on starseeds, but he knew they were kind of important, and getting one taken out of you didn't sound very pleasant.
Luckily Pompeii offered a distraction from his musing, but it wasn't a good one. "I wouldn't know, we're not currently speaking," He said sullenly, crossing his arms. God, he hoped not. "It's not like I hang out with my sister all day. We're capable of existing outside of each other's social lives," He said, defensive for some reason, until he realized this was his first time meeting Pompeii, and she probably didn't know they were siblings. Oops.
"I mean," He cleared his throat. "I don't think we've met, I'm Alfheim, squire of Earth."
"Oh dude, food would be awesome. I could eat shoes," Columba groaned. "I could totally be in charge if my house wasn't full of absolute awfulness to eat. My sister's a s**t cook." Though, now that someone had brought up food she was trying to figure out how much pocket money she had and if it was enough to load up on snacks at the gas station on the way home.
She was just vain enough to snap out of her ponderings when she heard her name and nodded, rubbing her nose on the back of her glove and trying not to disturb the healing bruises on her face. Serpentine had done a number on her, and it wasn't pretty, but she wasn't shy about battle scars, because those were epic."Yah! Chibi sailor of correspondedence. Who're you?"

Lassell, nodded his head at Shang's comment before looking around to see who else he could mingle with. He may have been a social butterfly but half of the people here were complete strangers. He glanced over at Alfheim "pleasure to meet you Alfheim, squire of Earth. I'm Lassell, page of Neptune and um..know Shangri-la through Maia." he said nodding his head.
He decided that he would venture out and see who else he would meet, since it seemed as though the area by the door where Shang was occupying was getting a little too crowded. If he didn't find anyone he would just stick to studying the layout of the gymnasium however boring it was. At the same time keeping an eye on Maia to make sure she didn't push herself too much with this training session.

So this happened before? Okay. Good to file into his mind. "I could try sneaking food sometime... Sandwiches!" Delicious ones. And flan. Mmmmm. When Oberon approached, he felt himself go tense a moment. Oh, more kids his age. Was this a Thing? "Hello." Massalia nodded, slowly. "Massalia is correct, yes." He didn't know him though, and wasn't sure what any customs were, but he slowly offered a handshake. He wondered, though. How many of them were there? How did this fit together?

[If anyone wants to interact with Horatio or Pasiphae,just quote me! <3] A certain candy-goggled kitty was oogling as she ran about hither and thither. There were so many Senshi! And Chibis, the adoreable little Chibis! And, and Knights, and another kitty, and... just so many people! Horatio had shown up as well in order to help protect all the people! She was radiating about 700% of the protective energy, she was positive of it. So how come no one was petting her or giving her praise or saying she was such a good little kitty? It was truly baffling. Maybe if she ran long enough someone would finally take notice? === Pasiphae had come to the training session having been involved in the most recent battle with the Negaverse herself. As ever, she was eager to see that all of her allies and her friends were unharmed. She would spar with anyone who wanted to. She had done as much before. But... in truth, her eyes were seeking out to make sure everyone she saw was alive and well. Many Senshi and Knights she did not know, but if they were healthy and working to become stronger... she would consider their coming together a strength. In the distance, the Eternal saw Valhalla and Ganymede along with Maia, and she eagerly waved to the three of them!

Pompeii was taken aback by the sullen attitude of the squire, she asked a logical question and got snark back. She nearly snapped back when he seemed to correct himself by introducing himself. Still a bit ticked about nearly getting her head bit off Pompeii nodded and while looking out into the crowd said, "I can see why you to aren't talking right now. If you excuse me I see someone I should say hello too." She looked at Shang and gave him an apologetic smile before heading off deeper into the gym. She had spotted a tawny be-feathered feline earlier and Pompeii figured it would be a good idea to say hello.... and it kept her from snarking back at Alfheim too badly. She didn't get too far into the gym before she changed her mind and decided to swing past Maia to grab a name tag before continuing her search for Laoise. With some hesitance Pompeii approached Maia and her two friends, Valhalla and Ganymede.

Athene shook his head at Ida's question "No I haven't heard from Tsui, but I think she may be busy". The Tiger senshi who made up the third part of the PSSG was usually pretty quick to respond to messages and when she hadn't Athene had come to the business assumption - after all in addition to the job she'd mentioned, Tsui had big sister duties now. Athene wasn't sure how his friend kept up with it - he found juggling school and other civvie stuff with senshi duties tough at times, although he guessed school or rather learning stuff kind of wasn't a problem any more given that he'd finished his last year at Meadowview - well at least not for the summer. "The turnout does seem good though" he agreed. "I think I recognise some of the people from last time." Some of the faces were recognisable in a he was pretty sure he'd seen them around sense, although he hadn't really talked to many people last time round.

Alfheim laughed and shrugged at Lassell's awkward introduction to how he knew ever and nodded, "Yeah, same."
Though, his lack of sunshine and smiles got a bit more reaction from the Saturn knight. His brow raised as Pompeii commented on his unknown conflict with his sister and walked away, even giving Shang a look that he could only assume was meant to make him feel like an outsider because whoa man did it. He might've answered her question with a pout, but he didn't think it was enough to drive anyone away. He was half tempted to run after her an apologize, but decided against it.
Conflict was awful, and he was too lazy to pursue it, especially if she had such a reaction to anyone who was a little cold.
But with the group splitting up, he decided to move on too, especially when he noticed a page with an all too familiar color scheme looking a little lost.
"Are you looking for somebody?" He asked, approaching Falias.

"Oh well. I hope she makes it, but it'll be good practice anyway." Ida said as she shrugged, turning to look over the crowd again to see if anyone new had arrived. Still not many she recognized, and no one she had really met personally. "I hope we'll be on the same team, but I don't know how Maia is planning on splitting us up."
The flower senshi was startled when she caught sight of a cat darting around the room, one she hadn't seen before, and she bent down to intercept it with out stretched hands.
"Woah there! What's the hurry?" She said with a laugh. So far she'd had good experiences with guardian cats, but that really only meant she'd met two of them briefly at awakening and upgrade. It was still weird to think of there being talking cats with magical powers...Quicksilver the Archangel

“Oh, well, what does keeping things in order entail?” Ganymede wondered as he proceeded to twist a lock of hair around one of his fingers, feigning interest in it and avoiding any looks his willingness to sit out of the fighting might earn him from Valhalla.
He’d been encouraged along for the battle experience, which both of them were sorely lacking but which Ganymede in particular had a habit of avoiding even more than his pacifistic, morally upright companion did. He didn’t imagine this would be as bad an experience as any of the large scale battles he’d been through, considering tonight’s gathering was comprised only of Senshi, Knights, and cats, but it was not his idea of an evening well spent. If there was some way he could sit out in an official capacity, he was more than happy to give it a go.
The approach of another Knight, a page, distracted Ganymede before he could show further interest, neither in the training session nor on the subject of Maia’s boyfriend. He paused in his hair twirling to get a look at the beruffled young woman, glancing around briefly to make sure she hadn’t meant to approach someone else.
“Um... hi...” he greeted her awkwardly, unsure what behavior would be appropriate when he wasn’t used to being randomly approached in a large gathering of powered folk.
Usually when someone approached him during a meeting it escalated into an argument if one wasn’t occurring already, though he didn’t think he’d said or done anything rude yet.
“I’m, uh...” he continued haltingly, and finally just pointed at his nametag.
He noticed Pasiphae waving and quickly waved back,encouraging her over with an expression of mild discomfort he hoped she would take pity on. He had no idea what to say or what to do amidst a group of powered strangers when all of his previous experiences had taught him he should probably just not open his mouth.Quicksilver the Archangel

Horatio grinned and not only ran straight for the outstretched hands but used the extended arms to her advantage. Like a hotwheels car on a plastic ramp, she zoomed up and eventually settled around the Senshi's shoulders. Her hat... hood... thingie extended to her shoulders and made a perfect perching place. The flamepoint felt she would make an excellent living boa and flopped there in order to purr in the nice lady's ear. "Hi! I'm just so excited to be meeting everyone--there are so many! I mean, there's you, and another kitty and all those knights and ooooooo." Her speech broke off only because she had spotted the bead-bedazzled Senshi that Ida had been speaking with, and her attention was instantly on all the hair decorations. They could play so many games with those. She remained in her drapped state, but a paw reached out to half-bat at the male Senshi. "You have lots and lots of shinies in your hair, and they're very pretty and I want to play with them sometime, okay?" Glancing back and forth between the two, the friendly guardian mewled, "Oh, I'm Horatio, by the way. Hi! What can I do to help, besides dampen shields?" === Pasiphae might not have fully understood the emotion she saw in Ganymede's expression, but any sign of distress was enough for the warm-hearted girl to walk over. She smiled at the other participants, a soft, almost apologetic expression, "Sorry to interupt but... I just wanted to see if there was anything I could do to help? I don't mind sparring or supervising or... anything." To initiate contact in this manner was a large step forward for the demure Senshi and a clear sign of her maturity since first awakening--far more, in many ways, than the wings that adorned her now, as they had Ganymede, Maia, and Valhalla for some time.

While Valhalla was unsure of what Maia meant by her comment on him meeting Lassell before, he made sure to store that bit of information in the back of his mind for another time.
“I don’t mind helping out,” he agreed, sensing the tension from Ganymede, knowing full well that gatherings like this set him on edge. It wasn’t his intention to make him uncomfortable, but he had wanted to show his support for his friend’s attempt at organizing this training session.
“Just tell us what to do,” he said with a nod, before smiling in welcome at the Page who made her way over to them. “Valhalla,” he introduced himself as he lifted a hand to affectionately pet at the back of Ganymede’s head, doing his best to hold back a larger grin of amusement at Ganymede’s awkward introduction. Large groups left him feeling uncomfortable as well, but at least it was a much more casual gathering than some meetings have been in the past.
The added presence of Pasiphae brightened his smile even more, and he broke away from Ganymede so he could embrace his friend, pulling her close. “You’re not interrupting. Maia, you know Pasiphae, right?” he all but beamed, turning enough to let her breathe and for Maia and the Page to see her. “You look amazing! You didn’t tell us you got your wings!” Maybe it was weird for him to be practically gushing over her, but she meant a lot to him, regardless of how often they were able to cross paths.

”Can’t stay away from these things, can you?” Sessrumnir asked the Page of Venus, approaching her with his arms crossed as he took in the view of people mingling and greeting each other. They all seemed so civilized for now, but the smallest of disagreements could throw that dynamic into complete chaos.
It was a shame, really. They were all so young with so much potential. Unfortunately, they had all been dragged into this conflict and needed to learn how to adapt to their new found powers.
“Wonder Woman, Babydoll,” Sessrumnir grinned and winked at both Pasiphae and Ganymede in turn, before flashing a mischievous grin at Valhalla’s look of bemusement and small grimace of disgust for the nicknames. “Babysitting duty, I see,” he observed before picking up a name tag and sharpie, writing “Sess” and that was all. He thought about making another joke about how he had no idea how to spell his full name, but apparently people took him too seriously.
“Come on, let’s go find the old people group,” he said to Palatine, directing her away from the group that had been forming. He definitely didn’t want to get drawn into any transfer of responsibility. Quicksilver the Archangel

”Senshi of Adventure!” he added, seeing as Columba was offering her sphere, although he did grimace now that he was looking at her face. “Did... you get hurt at the Carnival...?” he asked, lowering his voice sympathetically, and a little guiltily. There was a perfectly good chance that she had been hurt elsewhere, but after what he’d heard about what had happened, he was surprised there were so many senshi and knights looking, well... fit.
“I wasn’t there...” he admitted, glancing to the floor in shame, hoping it would hide the underlying fear in his voice. “I wish I could have helped.” Even if she hadn’t been there, she could at least understand his desire... right?
“Were you there too...?” he wondered as he glanced to Massalia, hoping he wasn’t being super weird and depressing, but it had been weighing heavily on his mind. “I’m not really good at fighting, but hopefully I’ll learn enough here to help next time... although I hope there isn’t one...”
Realizing that he really was being a Debby Downer, he looked up to grin at the two of them. “We’ll win in the end!” he assured them, hoping he sounded more confident than he felt.

Pompeii felt so out of her league when she realized that she had stumbled upon a group that were just as powerful as Maia. She nodded to Ganymede and watched as yet another eternal joined the group only to be pulled away by Squire, one that she had seen at the last training session. Unsure of what she should do Pompeii decided to grab a name tag and find a corner somewhere out of the way, "Um, Hi... Let me just grab..." She motioned for a name tag after writing her name, Pompeii, page of Saturn, placed it on her top. "I'll... Let me just go... over there somewhere." She gestured to the far wall and started to edge away. "Sorry for interrupting." Quicksilver the Archangel
