Welcome to Gaia! ::

He had just barely caught sight of her golden bow from her behind. It was a lucky break really, him having almost turned a corner to go in a completely different direction. With the knowledge she was trying to get rid of him, Castor decided to circle around and cut her off.

The challenge had been making sure to avoid stepping in slush puddles of icy water and snow, and to not make noise in general. But, after a few hops, Castor had managed to get from point A to point B. Peering around the corner, he watched as Alkaid relaxed, her guard dropping.

"What a night indeed." Stepping into the mouth of the ally he reached out. "Hold up, I just want to talk." He looked serious...ish. "Just talk. Honest." He didn't say he would stop making bad comes ons though. He probably should have.

"All work and no play makes Alkaid a dull girl." He grined before wincing. "s**t, that's not what I wanted to say. What I mean is," he waved a hand in the air, "lighten up. We're not under attack or anything right now. I'm certainly not going to attack you." This was true, he didn't attack with out provocation. He also tried not to attack girls as a general rule. "Okay. Back up. We got off on the wrong foot."

Taking a deep breath, he held out his hand. "Castor, super senshi of hail." This was completed by "Ignore any come ons I make. I don't mean them half the time." Castor, now with disclaimer!

It was going to be a test or patience on Alkaid's part, and a test of self control for Castor. And with his track record, he'd make them both fail. But, there was a first for everything. Wasn't there?

For Castor, it was time to put the cliche saying to the test. "Just promise you won't attack me. Nemesis already did that and I'd not like a repeat of that particular event." he was till bitter about it. But, he didn't hate Nemesis, just the fact she beat him, (even if it was kind of deserved).
Speaking of beatings. "Not to pry but...how did you end up like that? And don't give me any 'I fell down the stairs' crap." Had her even heard that before? Wait, yes he had. he'd used it to explain some of his old wounds and bruises from fights. sadly, the excuse got used up fast. You could only fall down so many stairs so many times before some one got suspicious.
"You may not ever like me, but, we're still senshi. At the very least we've got to look out for each other...Or something like that."

This, coming from one of the worst team players to ever exist.

He laughed. "Don't be so modest. We're senshi. Pretty dangerous in general. I haven't run into many senshi that weren't a threat on some level." Then again, Flora had been kind of lacking. But she was spring. It was winter. That had to do with her powers or something. Not to mention the fact he'd not run into THAT many senshi. At least not wimpy ones, (this was subjective).

"Chloe? Cat Chloe with a star on her head and is pretty awesome for a talking cat? Lucky." This was said in full sincerity. "I got pissed of pussycat Astraea. She's...cool in her own way," she had saved his life after all, "but she's a b***h." This was true, sadly. "Chloe is much more...sweet." Sweet was a good word for it. Then again, he'd only seen her with Lyra aka Liz.

But, purple hair, jumper cables? "Tanzanite? Tanz? Tannypoo?" he looked a bit shocked, despite how they had first met and fought. "No way." Well, actually. "Okay. Well. I guess she could have done that." he looked at the bruises. "Yeah, she probably did." Moving on. he didn't really want the world to know he'd kind of had a party with a supposed enemy, if they hadn't seen the graffiti yet. "Saiph?"

"....s**t." Castor realized his mistake a bit too late. Tanzanite did do this. hell, he knew that she was a fighter. they had fought after all. And she could have beaten him. Thankfully, all they had done was party. Party hard, (he would never look at Coors Light ever again). "Uh...Well...that is to say..." He rubbed the back of his head and forced out a weak laugh. "You see, we started fighting...but then...things...got better?" Another weak laugh.
"We kind of stopped fighting and well..we hung out." Waving his hand, he was trying to dismiss it as irrelevant. "Anyway, long story short, we're not best friends or anything just...good acquaintances." The way he said it seemed like there was more then he let on.

"Anyway, Saiph. Primordial. She, (I assume it's a chick), a good fighter? Know anything about this whole senshi gig?" A smirk. "Is she hott?" Then he frowned. "You can ignore the last part if you want."

And he was back on her bad side, (He considered she must have a good side, but then again...it might all be bad). "Uh....yeah." He was so smooth. The idea od Tanz pulling herself out of rubble made his visibly wince. He liked Tanz. Just not what she stood for. Or the fact she liked to beat s**t up, (he could sort of remember her beat on a guy in a bar...sort of. beer made things hazy). He also didn't like that fact she was beat on senshi, even if it was her job.

But he still liked her.

"Well, if she's a good fighter, and you say you're not, is it just due to magic or...can you not defend yourself?" He raised a brow at the piggybacking. He tended to read way to much into things. A grin broke out. He just couldn't hold back. "I can teach you a few tricks if you like."

As Alkaid explained her powers, or lack of, Castor folded his arms. If she couldn't do anything magically, all that was left was just relying on your physical power...which she probably lacked. "Tracking kinda sucks." There, he said it. "But at least you'll never loose your house keys!" And he said that too. Well, laughed it out really.

"Look, take a self defense class. You'll need it." He walked over and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Like, you need to know how to fight me off. Let along a negaverse agent, at the very least." He gave her shoulder a light squeeze. "Like right now, I could push you down and potentially steal your star seed easy." He gave her shoulder a light push, yet castor's grip remained firm. "You need to be able to react. As in, push my arm down with enough force to break it...but not really. Just push down." He smiled, oddly, it wasn't lecherous.
