The touch to her side through the see-through part of her dress made Meteora squeak. It wasn't until after the sound left her mouth that she shot Kai a dark look, reached over, and pinched his leg again. "Well, there is basic information levels and more advanced. Then there is also the master classes where it's best to learn on your own. Think of it this way. Our hostess is treating this like a 101 class." Meteora commented, though her eyes were clearly watching Kai for retaliation. "If I didn't have you, most of this info would be new to me as well. Now, I will agree with you that there are some key things that maybe she should mention to keep people from running out there trying to play super hero..." "Or Lone Ranger..." She turned her eyes now back to the Cowboy. Something in how he said things irked her. "Speaking of. Have we met before?" She asked Havasu were a quirked brow clearly catching that the was not at all amused by the teasing between her and Kai. She wouldn't apologize though. It was half the fun and it kept her bull head knight calmer.

"Well it'll have to be lemons, you've got all the sour grapes." Kai pointed out. "Don't be an a** Havasu, you had dinner with her, give her your other name." He could think of a half dozen saltier comments to return fire with, including a joke about limes and tequila, but damnit he wasn't starting fights tonight, even the kind that could be fun for blowing off a little steam. It could wait for the gym if they could arange it. "Gorner here could use some fight training that doesn't leave her black and blue. I kind of imagine some of the others we know wouldn't be hurt by it either. Nice way to touch base, blow off steam... throw a few punches without breaking your fingers. You get the idea right?" He was tempted to throw a mock punch at the air in demonstration, but he just grinned at Lena instead, even though he shifted his leg reflexively away from further pinches. Not far, but a little. "If we can get some people with actual training anyplace other than the dojo of pure-goddamn-spite it wouldn't hurt either." He admitted. "Hell I could take a few lessons there I'm sure. But there's enough negas out there with real weapons that aren't afraid to use them, anything we can do to keep people on their feet is going to help." It didn't matter if they were fighting back or just trying to disrupt things long enough to get away, or let someone else get away, like civilians, it was better to know how to fight and not need it, than vice versa, at least the way he saw it. Quote: So many people I'm gonna be lazy.

Erebus couldn't help but lean over and kiss Venice after the smile he just gave, it had been too cute not to after all. "Yes, flirting with you." He said in a low tone and with a flirty smile. His smile changed into a more excited one at Venice's next question though. "Just a fun little game I've had in mind for a while now. It's not one I plan on releasing or anything, since it does involve the war." He said, being purposefully vague. He would of course show the other man when he was done but until it was finished he would hold off on it.
"Understandable, though you should try to sleep when you get back anyway." Erebus pointed out, ignoring that he would be too wired to sleep himself. Of course if he had known the older man's plan to come over to his house he would be welcoming to it. "I can see that. All healed up then?"
His attention was caught by Kairatos next and he turned to flash an amused smile. "True enough! Here's hoping for a peaceful night." The Squire's eyes next darted over to Havasu. "Hmm, the bubble is nice but there is always room for friends." He said, keeping his tone light.

Gevaudan stood leaning against a pillar with his arms crossed, his one green eye watching the crowd. Despite everything, he couldn't shrug off years of being commanded by te Negaverse to show up for every meeting. It was so ingrained in him to stand at attention that every one came off mandatory to him.
This time around, he was left turning the black, Crystal ring on his finger over and over trying not to think that he didn't have his knight ring after all this time.

Havasu had the grace to looked shamed at Kai's words, Meteora's look, and Erebus' light tone. There really had been no call for his own tone, Kai was right... it was sour grapes. "I'll use it to wash down the humble pie. Sorry." He apologized to the group as a whole, running his hand through his already rumpled hair, his hat left on the bench beside him. Gorner had done a number on his hair, his fingers didn't help any as it went a bit spikey here and there. He nodded in thanks to Gorner for her recap even as he did as Kai asked and gave his other moniker to Meteora. "Quinn. I'm guessing you were the young lady who joined us for that big meeting a little bit ago," he wouldn't say her given name out loud but he studied her, trying to see the civilian under the knight. It was only logical that she was Lena since Kai had said they had dinner together and he had known everyone else who had been at that meeting. Pretty much everyone who had been there was here now actually. "It's been a long week so sorry if the snark gets a little out of control" Again he apologized, this time with a little shrug before focusing on the topic Gorner, AKA Key, had recapped and Kai expounded on. "Some practice fights wouldn't be a bad idea. I know of a gym, it's got fairly standard equipment as well as a ring to fight in. I'll have to talk to the guy running it to see if and when we can swing some time. He might be willing to teach as well but not sure on that." Hav offered, not bothering to explain that the gym was one he was a silent partner in... or that it was Delilah's cousin who was running it and might be the one teaching a few moves. "And next time I'm bringing a bean bag chair." He winked at Gorner even as he shifted restlessly again on the hard benches, "Think it will be easier than a lazy boy?"

While others pointed out that Quinn had been a bit...sour - Venice didn't. Instead he separated from Erebus and standing he approached the blond and moved to embrace him. Petting the others fluffy hair, as it seemed his hair tonight was going to continue to receive various forms of attention, and stepped back then.
"Seems we have idea and maybe a place - very good for us." It would go a long way in helping the group, though it was another thing he had to take on and fit into his schedule. If he didn't suffer from being over tired, and at times over worked, her certainly would now and he knew it. He knew it and yet he didn't complain, didn't say he couldn't do it, he accepted it as something he needed to do and thus it was something he would do. He would push himself further, get less sleep, and do what he needed to do.
Shaking his head, to dis spell the worry and other feelings he felt, Venice took the time to look about the area. So many uniforms and so many colors but none like his ow - wait...there were familiar colors and a familiar owner to them as well. He was surprised they were without the Uranus knight he knew they were with. He was surprised they were tucked away, almost out of sight,.
Looking to Erebus he mouthed a quick 'I'll be back' and headed off toward the only other Ganymede knight here. Moving around people, trying not to hit into anyone, or be walked into, Venice weaved his way around people and finally on the floor of the meeting area he made his way toward the other. The little hidden area they were standing in was rather removed from people - why? Why keep away from everyone else and go unnoticed?
"Gevaudan."
Venice looked tired, nothing like he was sure to be soon enough, with some darkness showing under his eyes. He had changed some since their last run, his hair was no long brown and blond but nearly all black save for a few streaks of dark red. He had redyed it, his natural color by now had time to grow back in under the black dye used, the dark roots showing at the bottom of the red. Right under his eyes, where people put eye liner, was a little puffier and there were two little scars still fresh under each eye. He was smiling at the other though, despite being tired, something that had his eyes turning into small crescents. Really, Venice was ever changing, even if only due to his hair colors, he liked change.

Gevaudan was growing bored and was now playing the game of starseed, injury, insult, and nobody. It was simply a personal, morbid game of glancing at someone, digging through his memories, and trying to remember if he had every interacted with that knight or not. Had he hurt them, had he taken their starseed, did he know them at all or caused them harm. Luckily he had been rather kind to the Knights before purifying but knew many linked arms with senshi he couldn't say the same about.
He continued twisting the ring about his finger until Venice approached and he uncrossed his arms to tilt his chin in silent hello. Once again the man had different hair and once again it was styled differently, longer now. "Hello Venice. How are you taking in this..." He sighed at even calling this gathering that but.."...meeting?"
He slowly leaned back and crossed his arms again. "Have you been taking care of yourself?"

"As well as can be...interesting. Have heard from several now these things turn to fights often." He had yet to see it happen but at least he had warning, he wouldn't be surprised if it happened. Verbal or physical, he'd do his best to avoid it. Brushing his hair from his face he stared down at the other for a few silent moments, watching the other and then pondered how to answer the second question.
That was a loaded question, at least to him it was. So many ways to answer and honesty was not his strong suit, never had been. Should he be honest now? Or maybe mostly honest...that was likely to better way to answer really. "Somewhat...do the best I can." Which could, and did, mean a lot. There had been the bezerker incident, which he still hadn't told Terry about. he'd explained the injury as a fight, which was true, he just didn't say with what. He had landed himself in a hospital not too long ago, for an overnight stay, and were the nights staying up late and not sleeping till early in the morning.
He was now looking to take on ever more as well, time spent at a gym. "Could always do better." He could always do better but never would do much better, it wasn't how he was.
"You? You are well?"

Why are we fighting? It was a question Erytheia had wanted to ask, but he was happy that someone else - the first to speak, no less - had mentioned it before him. His golden eyes looked sad when he thought about fighting. He just couldn't do it. There are no simple answers. Choose what's right for you.He had heard this sentiment before as it was echoed by the Cosmos knight whose name he now knew was Hvergelmir. He knew what his soul wanted. His star seed spoke to him clearly. But was that really what was best for him? He shook at the thought of his barren wonder. What good was he for it? His mind was finally brought back to the meeting by the mention of the queen of the Moon and the origin of their thousand year-old war. "Maybe the Moon Queen had knights in the past and something has prevented her and them from awakening." Erytheia blushed and looked down quite embarrassed by his words. He could hardly believe he had spoken. "Knights of Cosmos have Sailor Cosmos, right?"His voice trembled a bit in both fear and excitement. He had questions, but did he want the answers? "Don't all knights have a planet or moon or star they serve?"✪

He looked at Cenice as he spoke before looking out at the crowd again. "You look like that's not really true. You said you didn't sleep well before which is why you got into the mess. You still look like it. " he could see the bags from here. Still looking out, he started to twist his ring again. "I've been a pretty shitty leader not being around, but that doesn't mean you should be getting better on your own....if you want that help." He wouldn't force it but he also wasn't going to ignore it either.
"You should be taking a break. I could always threaten on of your teachers to give you an A and perfect attendance to get you a month to just take a breath and sleep again. Sort yourself out." He glanced over at him and gave a little smile that said he wasn't joking at all.
As for him, well he was here at the meeting and healed from before. That said enough.

"Too many things to do, more soon." He answered honestly. He had a loaded schedule and there was no way around it, no way to deny it. He was a busy person and always was...just this was more then usual? Or rather it was more strenuous, it wasn't time spent seated at a desk with his nose in a book and a stack next to him. This time it was being a knight, working, and martial arts lessons. All new things as of the last year and it was a lot more for him to handle due to the physical demands.
"You have a life...comes first. For us all it should." Shrugging his shoulders he cast his dark eyes down onto the other again. "Took trips home myself...had things to do." Grandparents to busy, eyes to get...worked on, he'd taken Terry with him before both of those events. Three trips this summer...that was insane. Perhaps it was even a set back of sorts, he missed home even more at times...longed for the smells of familiar foods, the noise and the music...the brightness that just wasn't here to be found. Going back was like a tease to him. Pushing the thoughts away, he didn't need Terry picking up on them while they were both here, and focused on the other knight of Ganymede.
"Been taking martial arts...Kairatos planning on gym time for a group." He was going at some of it on his own, had been going out at night again - on his own. But at least some time was spent with others.
"No...wouldn't be good...wouldn't know what to do with so much time. I don't think I've ever had that much time free..." Something Havasu had even commented on recently, his inability to not be doing something...and his inability to take time to recover, relax, or much else.
"Sounds like Havasu." He found himself saying and shaking his head. "Scolded me almost two weeks ago." He hadn't meant to say it but the words came, he was being honest and wasn't thinking enough to lie - he was still tired and muddled.
"Only problem in school is girl...but I can handle." Or at least he could try, though his tactic was the same and kept failing. She still didn't get it, didn't understand his opinion on her and his feelings toward her. He didn't want to be rude either.

"I thought so." Meteora said, as she listened to the other two also seemed to catch onto his tone. That had been what had given him away to her as well. Only person she knew with a stick up his behind like that was Quinn. It wasn't that she held it against him. Clearly there were some unresolved issues on his part and if her guess was right, it involved a woman that appeared to have moved on. "Well then," With a smile, Meteora rose from the uncomfortable bench and gazed around. What had started as a 'meeting' seemed to have become a break off of groups. Small groups had formed to discuss other things and their hostess seemed otherwise engaged. "Might I propose taking this discussion somewhere more...comfortable?" Chuckling, she made a show of rubbing her behind as if it was sore. "I don't know about you three but it seems the attention is else where..." Her eyes flickered over to a male who had asked about 'moon knights'. Interesting....but there was no 'Sailor Moon' so in her mind, no reason to have them. Though, she would need to ask Kai later how those like Castor got knights. The Royal thing she had to believe was it. So did Camelot have his own? "Anyway, that and I'm afraid I have one heck of some coding I'm putting off right now."

"A lot of people would say not being able to enjoy that free time is the problem. You keep at it and it's going to be that that's going to send you to a early grave then all of this." He said, gesturing vaguely at the meeting.
"Some girl? What's she doing?" He said, looking for something to focus and talk about as he wasn't sure about any gym. What he learned wasn't tactical, just lessons in self-defense and years of working through the Negaverse. Considering how aggressive some of those tactics were, he doubted he would be invited to that kind of training.
"It's good to train with your friends though. You need to learn a better way to keep hands out of your chest when I'm not around."

"Free time rare back home when in school and young." The one day off a week was free time. The rest of the time, generally, was spent in school...after school classes and studying as well as doing homework. Time to yourself wasn't the most common of things. it was in that free time he would go to the gym, sew, and do a few other things but he'd never had much of it. "Was why clinic trips - able to keep going." And work on fumes, but it worked. He got things done.
For a moment he closed his eyes, even reaching up to pinch the bridge of his nose and rub at one tired eye. He was gentle about it though, not wanting to lose a contact or...well he was still somewhat fresh from eye surgery so he was being a bit gentle with the area. "Do you know anime? And fans...called otaku...?" He asked and paused before deciding to continue and give a brief run down. "Taking Japanese 101, Erebus said to take an easy class...am already fluent in Japanese. Came to class first day she calls senpai...decides to sit next to me. Correct her...not Japanese, am Korean.:
Opening his eyes he shifted his weight and found some bit of wall to lean against. "Next day calls oppa...correct term for Korean. Just...odd...not close. Is used by female for older male friend, family member, boyfriend. Or older male...but odd. Told her not to call me that - continued. Sat next to me again, still does, asks out to cafes, or to go out places. keep telling her no, not interested. Now sits with me at lunch, with friends...has started to look into popular culture back home and keeps asking and talking about - like otaku would for anime." He really did hope the other would understand the term...it was hard to describe, in some ways.
"Clings to arm now also...and always with in class and at lunch. Uncomfortable..." Very uncomfortable and he kept a lot, though not all, of it from Terry. He didn't want to start an issue if he could help it...he really didn't want drama or a problem, especially in this class - he enjoyed it.
Laughing he smiled down at the other. "Will do...don't plan to let it happen again...am working on learning more - getting better."

Gev narrowed his eyes. "Was better be it too. If I hear another clinic trip is happening, I'm going to make you wish you were ever knighted." He warned him before letting the conversation resume.
"I know what anime is. It comes on TV at night or pops up on my laptop once in a while. I think Hawa knows more about it maybe." That was about as far as it went, knowing about the most commonplace animes like Pokemon and Naruto only because they were always all over the internet, but he had never watched the shows and could only make general statements about it. However, for the sake of sticking with the conversation, he tried to appear more knowledgeable than he actually was and gave slow nods of fake understanding as Venice talked.
Despite not knowing what otaku or oppa meant, he managed to follow the trail of broken English with a progressive frown as he stared back at him. "You have some lady creeping on you without getting the message that No means No, is that it? That does sound like a big deal. She shouldn't be touching you." While he could ask why Venice hadn't told the girl he was taken, it wasn't Venice's fault some girl was not getting the message once he said no and invading his space. He shouldn't have to tell her anything after saying no and he wasn't interested in her.
Something about some random girl touching Venice caused him to bristle the more and more he thought about it.
"I could break her arm. She can't cling to you if it's in a splint."
