Welcome to Gaia! ::

The warning didn't go unnoticed by Venice - he heard it. He just, like with Terry, couldn't promise anything so instead he fell silent and nodded his head. He wasn't going to make a promise here when he couldn't be sure he could keep it, in fact he was fairly certain he wouldn't be able to if he were to give it. Though he did wonder, if only for a brief moment, what the other would or even could do that him...then he let it drop as he was certain he didn't want to know. He also didn't want to push his luck.

Nodding his head to the others words, confirming the others question. That was what he meant, and she was creepy in a sense...though it could be worse and he knew that. It was still creepy and he knew it was because of where he was from, there was no way around that. She was one of those people who liked Asians...or rather Japanese people but it had changed to include Koreans, since she was faced with one now.

Dark eyes went wide at the offer before he shook his head. "N-no...she is a civilian...and violence just..." Wasn't right..? But he had been in a few fights now himself, though he still hadn't been too violent even then. He was rather refrained...but still he had tried to help kill someone. Though they weren't a civilian by any means...how did he know she wasn't someone in the negaverse though? How did he know if she wasn't a senshi...? Damn it.

"Don't want to start drama...or attention..." He was trying to keep it as civil as he could, he didn't want, nor like, the attention. He'd only told Terry because he had to and even then it was limited.

"She just...likes Asians...and culture..." At least part of it anyway. He was certain she didn't know even half of his culture or the Japanese culture and were she to move there...she'd have a lot to learn, and would feel it. "Never dealt with such before...is very new to me."

"She caused drama. She is the one causing issues. It's not you starting anything when she already is putting you in this position. Also, don't forget that despit not being something like us, civilians can be just as cruel and dangerous as us. If you don't want me to do that, a simple spook can send her away. It would be pretty easy. I've done it ple-AHH!-"

Gevaudan spun in the hold and was about to face punch whoever was coming up behind him when he held the first back at Hawa, staring back at him with a wide eye and a quick exhale from having his heart go from calm to frantic in seconds.

"Don't DO that!" He said to him as he dropped his first down to take a breath. "I'm going to wind up punching you one day and it will be your fault. Giving me a heart attack. I thought you were staying home." He managed as he tried to compose himself.

He hoped no one else heard him yelp as he didn't like bringing R attention on himself especially with Hawa holding him. He always felt paranoid that someone who pass the information around they were together and someone with an old vendetta against him would hurt Hawa as a result - someone like a blue-clad prince.

"You haven't missed much." He grumbled as he looked anywhere but at the Uranus knight.

Caught up in the talk with Gevaudan he failed to notice someone approaching the other knight. He agreed with the other, he hadn't started things...and right now it was all her with causing drama. But he didn't want to add to it....to garner attention. It simply wasn't how he was, he liked to just pass through life in that way. But he wished she would stop, she made a scene in class when she behaved like that, and it was part of why it was so uncomfortable for him.

"Going to try few things Erebus suggested. Will see if they work." Changing seats at the last minuet and if that failed then telling her he was dating. He didn't want to harm her, or even really scare her. But...was it such a bad idea?

As Gevaudan was talking the other broke over into a startled sound, turning and looked like he might hit whoever was behind him. Being that only knights were here he'd have hit another knight, and as Venice turned around he spotted just who.

Gevaudan's other half, the knight or Uranus.

He wasn't expecting a greeting, or anything, from the knight of Uranus, so wasn't surprised or bothered when nothing was said to him. Instead he turned his focus onto those around them as he let them have their time to each other.

In fact he took the time, when the two seemed distracted, to slip away and head back to where he had come from. They made for quite the pair, you could tell they were close, they looked and felt different than himself and Erebus or other couples he'd seen. Shrugging his shoulders at the thought Venice rejoined his group and settled himself back next to Erebus. "Gevaudan is here and partner. Went to see other Ganymede knight." He explained in a whisper to the Saturn knight.

"Because it was just me and a cake, and only one of those two things might have been there when you got back, depending on how this shin-dig went down," came Hawara's reply with was a mix of dry-humor, and sardonic snark. After all, last time one of these thins went down, it was a rallying cry in to almost certain suicide. But he mostly was referring to the cake. The cake would have been gone.

Still looking over the crowd, he saw very few familiar faces. Likely because he knew so very few. In his tenure with the Negaverse he hadn't really left many survivors.

"If your teammates are so easily scared then maybe you don't have the right teammates." ;P

"And what would the right teammates for me be?" He asked, tugging a bit at the knight's headdress to being his ear closer.

"Or do you just hate sharing my time?"

Falias looked thoughtful as he considered Hercynia's question. "I don't want to speak the whole pledge out in case that's enough to whisk me off to my Wonder" he admitted "And that means that I won't be able to answer any more of your questions - but I can give you the first part and I can write it down in full once this meeting is over and we're back home if you want."

He waited to hear her answer before continuing, his voice soft although loud enough - given their proximity - for Hercynia to hear "It's I pledge my life and loyalty to Earth, and to Falias."

Hercynia's next question was about where to find the knight ring, although it wasn't one that Falias thought he could fully answer, although it didn't stop him from trying to give her answer "I don't know if it's the same for all knights," and given that no two Wonders were the same it probably wasn't "But mine was found in a clearing in the forest" he slipped the wood and stone ring with the mistletoe interwoven crossed circle of earth at its centre from his finger and held it out for her to have a look at "This one's mine.

Hvergelmir offered Erytheia what was, as usual, a politic answer. She didn't like giving incomplete answers -- they tended to erode people's confidence in her information -- but she didn't believe in misleading people, either. They had a right to know what she knew, and not receive a biased version of it. Well -- not too biased, at least. She did her best.

"All knights, as far as we know, are associated with their own unique Wonder, which they protect and serve -- and which, in turn, protects and serves them by lending its power. As we understand it, at one time, all knights shared this province with a royal sailor soldier who also had guardianship over that place -- Prince or Princess Jupiter for Jupiter knights, Princess Polaris for Polaris knights, and so on -- but many of those royal sailor soldiers aren't known to exist today. Only a few royal senshi are currently active among us: Cosmos, Chronos, Castor, Polaris, Iris, and Ganymede. How you choose to work with these individuals is up to you -- your first responsibility is to your Wonder itself, and only you can know what form that takes. But, to answer your question -- "

She looked skyward, imagining Earth's own moon. Mars was different, of course -- it had two moons.

"We don't know. All knights are attached to some kind of celestial body, or to the cosmos itself -- but the same thing's not true in reverse. As far as we know, Princess Iris has no partnered Iris knights. Given the historical political situation between the Earth and the moon, it's very possible that that level of diplomatic connection was considered too extreme. I can't say."

There was so much Erytheia didn't know and it was, strangely, reassuring that there were some things that weren't known my himself or anyone for that matter.

Wandering around in the darkness is always better when you are not quite so alone.

There were so many kinds of knights and he was sure he would meet many more of them, but he was emotionally exhausted. There was so much to take in that he felt this mind falling back to Earth. With that, the page of Cosmos left with more questions to ponder than he had started with.

At least, in that, he was not alone.
