Welcome to Gaia! ::

It was with a very pronounced spring in her step that one Okolnir, knight of Polaris, more casually known as Lana, stepped off Admiral Driftwood's ship. She had managed to snag another ride from Polaris to the planet Nereid under the false pretense of solidifying trade deals (which actually wasn't wrong, she was), but her one and true purpose for coming to Nereid was the thrill of the hunt. The hunt was for one senshi of Nereid.

Once her booted feet were on the docks, Lana spun, red curls and coat twirling in the gentle breeze to blow kisses to her best friend on the deck of the ship, and to her best friend's driftwood which didn't acknowledge her existence. They'd be gone for quite a while this trip, and Lana wasn't going to waste any time. None at all.

It was with a rather predatory smile that she strode from the docks and towards the port officials to check in, but most importantly, locate the senshi in question. Her inquiry took her to quite a few places, from one person to another who had last seen the senshi, and eventually she located his most recent location.

She stepped into a garden, carefully cultured to the aesthetic style of Nereid's flora and fauna, and there, was her prize.

The woman's steps were casual, like she could just be another casual garden lover. She couldn't hurry her pace---it'd alert him to her presence. The only thing that showed her excitement was the smile on her red painted lips, which he didn't see because his back was to her. Soon enough though, she was there, and her arms wrapped around his waist, and her hands slid under his obi.

"Did you miss me, Hayase?" She purred, her smile wicked as she pressed her cheek against his back and pulled him to her in a hug of sorts.

The game began now.

Lana's smile was wide as the man pulled away from her and then started to walk away. She immediately followed after him. "Oh, I don't think that's true~" She replied. "I bet you were just thinking about me~"

She managed to fall into the same stride as his taller frame, and walked at his side. The knight reached and took his arm, holding onto it. "I just got here not too long ago...and Admiral Driftwood's ship isn't going to be back this way for some time..." Lana trailed off for a moment.

"Isn't that wonderful? Just think of how much time we'll have together, Hayase."

"Oooo~" She squealed, "Hayase, I told you to just call me Lana. We're beyond the formalities." When he tried to brush her off, she just held onto his arm harder, and squeezed it against her bosom.

"Oh good. I'll accompany you. Since your planet and mine are working out a trade deal, I think it'd benefit me to observe and learn your ways and customs. What better way to forge a strong bond between us?" Leave it to Lana to spin blatant harassment as a wise business move. The green eye that wasn't covered by red curls looked up to see him searching, and her lips curled even more.

"She's not coming back anytime soon, to save you, Hayase. Lana whispered lowly. "She left only hours ago."

If Lana's smile could get any wider, it would quite literally split her face apart.

In the name of Polaris, why was he so utterly adorable?

The knight leaned against him, and even stood on her tippy toes so that she could draw her lips closer to his face. "Oh, Hayase." She purred, "The games I want to play with you are in no way, shape, or form childish."

She stopped standing on her tip toes, and instead secured her hold on his arm, very much the picture of someone getting comfortable. "I'm afraid that just won't do~ I want to spend time with the senshi." She smiled at him. "How about we start with getting something to eat?" She offered. "I'm starving."

Though her face said she'd eat him right up too if he was put on the table.

She knew what was coming next by the way he struggled and gasped. Her body was ready. She trekked back and forth down and up the cold, harsh, and unforgiving mountain pass that separated her wonder from Beringia's more times than she could count in her lifetime. A jaunt after a wily senshi on the flat and warm planet of Nereid?

Easy.

The knight immediately took off after him, and had no trouble keeping up.

"You can wander my body, Hayase~" She laughed. "I'll wander your's really good."
