Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I think it may be a good idea to stop for the night" Athene admitted as he closed the book he had and carefully slid it back into an empty space on one of the shelves, hoping as he did so that he had slipped it back in the right place.

"We can always try coming back to the Moon again" he continued as he looked over to see whether Thraen needed a hand with the books he was putting away, adding "And I can study the pearl in the meantime and try to work out when it next glows and send you a message via the senshi phone."

Once the books were all back in place Athene stepped back into the hallway and took the opportunity to unwrap the sash mask from his face and wind it back in place as he waited for Thraen, adding to the other once the door was shut on the library, sitting room or whatever the book-laden room was. "I'm not sure whether we need to be outside for the pearl to transport us back, since I think I was outside last time round" and the first time had been sort of different. He summoned his senshi phone and held out his other hand as he continued "I'm happy to try it here and see what happens though."

After all if it didn't work then they could always walk back outside.

"True" Athene agreed with a nod, waiting for Thraen to take his offered hand before concentrating on the pearl for the second time that night.

As with earlier, it again took a moment (mayhaps two) for the shift to happen, but then as suddenly as they had been on the Moon, so were they back in Destiny City - on the same street that they had left from no less.

Athene blinked, the night time sounds of the City suddenly feeling jarring given the earlier silence but eventually he quirked a slight smile at Thraen "Well I guess that answers one question" he said as he banished his senshi phone to wherever it seemed to disappear from.

There was a sincere note to his quiet voice as he added "And thank you for agreeing to travel with me - I appreciated having the company."

Athene nodded at Thraen's many hands comment. "You keep well too Thraen" he said quietly, giving the taller blond a slight wave of his own before turning and starting to walk for home and tried not to think too hard on the empty apartment that was waiting for him or the first thing in the morning class that he, well rather Arian had.
