She pretty much hadn't been told where she was going, what they were doing, only that she needed to come with him and to trust him.
Sabine was out in destiny city. This was her first time seeing the huge city with her new eyes, something about the place now that she was here told her Oh... this is ok. I know this. She could be ok here... She was not in her senshi form now. Something that Zinkenite, no... Zac had told her to do, it was second nature to her but she still felt more comfortable in her fuku. Zink had been the one whom teleported the two out of the dark kingdom. Something she wondered if she could do too, she would make a note to ask him later.
She was wearing a simple outfit... a baby blue tshirt and a dark blue skirt. Sandals on her feet, they had to pin her hair back. The mass of red billowed behind her as they approached a door, she looked towards her, slightly, taller brother warily. A restaurant? It smelt good at least... were they here to get food? She had just stuffed herself with food earlier when Schee had visited her. "Um... i'm not all that hungry."

He gave a small nervous edged laugh and shook his head. "No...nono, he lives above this..." He said and lead her around the one side of the building and up a flight of stairs that lead into a small hall way, down at the far end was the 'Casa de Ever' which he had probably mangled beyond reason he was sure.
He walked up to the door and made sure she was still with him before taking a deep breath and lifting a hand to knock on the door. "We just have to get some extra things so you'll be comfortable staying here...but we got a spare bed and I made sure there were clean sheets for BOTH beds...." He said waving his hands like he was checking off a mental list ever bit as detailed as his paper ones.

Extra things, spare bed, clean sheets -- and on top of that, Ever'd cleaned up some, his own belongings mostly confined to his battered only shoulder bag. They usually lived there, so why not return to that state of living. He didn't really gain anything from having clothing sprawled out over the place.
This tidiness made a better impression, anyway. He figured Zac would appreciate it.
He answered the door, and [thank God] he was fully dressed, only his feet bare, his hair rumpled. But his hair was always rumpled, so nothing new there. He blinked at Zac, and then at the girl, and offered a nervous twitch of a smile, teasing. "What's the password?"

"...Uhm. Pasta?" .... Lame reply is laaame but damn if she was NOT smelling something that smelt like it needed to be on top of pasta, and it was making her curious as to what the heck it was.
She looked between the two of them, suddenly blushing and looking away a moment later. "....i was wrong wasn't i."
"..Uhm." Grabbing a chunk of her hair, she moved it forward and played with it nervously. She hadn't been told they were meeting someone else! She looked at Ever with a curious glance, something behind her eyes hinted at her own ignorance.
"...Is he your boyfriend or something?"

Blushing it seemed ran in the family, but at least Ever was mostly dressed this time. "B... S... Sabine!!" He flustered at her off handed comment. Had he told her?! No...no he had defiantly not told her... he hadn't had the time or inclination to!! Lucky guess, it had to be...
"This is Ever He's my lieutenant... Ilmenite... ok? There IS no pass word you knew she was coming over let us in... I already ordered food ok!?"

Ever choked on whatever his reply might have been, his expression a bit stunned for a moment. Watching him kick back into careless mode was likely fascinating: like there was a delay between his mouth and his brain, the words tumbling out of him before his face had time to properly adjust.
"...Zac, have you been talking about me?" Except he didn't grin until after he said it, and his eyes were very dark as they flicked onto his general. Two steps back was enough to let both of them in without really getting out of the way.

"Ohgod did i say something wrong?" She was doing that more recently, looking between them again she shuffled in through the door and off to the side so Zac could come in too. She did her best also to try and hide her total embarrassment. "...No...no.... just a hunch i got from the two of you." It was like something was going on between them... Neither exactly denied it either.
Eyebrows drawn together, she examined Ever a little more. Probably a bit too much for a first meeting... but she was curious. He was the third person she had met since her 'rebirth'. Plus... the man was a damn giant. At the door she had to literally look UP to see him. Not that this was not common for her, she had been looking up at all three men she met. She was wondering if women were just short...
"Hello, Ever.... Ilmenite. Which should i call him? Is it like Zac and Zinkenite? How i dont say one unless im in uniform and you too?" Green eyes looked towards her brother, questions were something he was bombarded with recently. " So many rules...." It looks like ever was not the 'newbie' anymore between them.

"Ever when he's in civilian garb. Ilmenite when in uniform, just like Zac and Zinkenite." He nodded at her satisfied at least with that.
"You didn't do anything wrong, You just surprised me with 'boyfriend', not sure where you came up with that is all." He flustered and scowled at Ever pointing a finger at him. "YOU don't need to make this worse either! Told her about you... Hmph!!"
He followed Sabine in with his normal expression, which basically meant grumpy.

Sabine might have been the newbie, but once they were in uniform -- well. Her energy signature was probably going to be enough to dwarf his. Between Zink and the Senshi, he would certainly get overlooked...
Ever smoothed a hand over his hair, getting long enough now to leave him looking a little shaggy, and reached out to close the door behind them, grinning down at Zac as he passed. Nevermind that he might have been flushing just a little himself....he'd deny it anyway.
"Generally I'd say rules are flexible, but -- " He rolled a hand, now mostly healed, baby pink flesh still smooth enough that he was carefully with it. " -- in this case, please call me Ever out of uniform and Ilmenite out of uniform, so you don't get me killed."
Those could have been threatening or nervous words. He softened them with a smile down at her.

"You both 'ping'." She said at the question, tilting her head at them both. Large green eyes... clearly she might have been 'corrupted' into the negaverse, but outward appearances were deceiving. Inside she had the same dark power the two men held within them. "Its the way you hold yourself..." She looked at Zac for a moment. Even when sabine had been 'beth', she always knew about Zac... or had a hunch for the longest time anyways. Ever on the other hand... "Im not sure about you." She peered at him with narrowed eyes. "But from the fact neither of you denied it is proof enough for me!" She gave a devilish little smile. Clearly, she played the both of them.
Backing up looking rather appauled she shook her head rather enthusiastically causing her hair to whip around her. "Oh lord no! Why would i want to kill you? Killing is bad... you are Zacs Lieutenant! Plus he clearly likes you a lot... so no killing!....unless your senshi right?" Spoken in a small voice, the last part was added on in a whisper.

"I do NOT." He protested. "How I carry myself...what the HELL is that supposed to mean." He flustered "Would you both... I didn't say he WAS you can't just...arrrggh!!" He shook his hands at them at a loss for words. "You are both so...OOOoooohhh..."
He took a moment and a deep breath. "Alright... so... what do we still need to make this more... habitable for, well BOTH of you." He said folding his arms.

To be honest, Ever looked as surprised as Zac that he 'pinged'. Sure, he flirted with anything male -- really, just about anything -- but at a glance, dressed in faded old clothing, his hair not artfully messy but genuinely messy, was he really that obvious? Something about the way he held himself? Or maybe it had been the way he grinned at Zac, and that left him flustered still.
"...uh." He forced himself to focus and shove his hands down into his pockets so he wouldn't do something stupid, turning in place to blink at his apartment. It looked fine to him. He liked it bare as it was. "...I think it's more than habitable..."

Sabine really did not have much to compare his place to. Really, all she had seen before this and a little bit of the city... was the dark kingdom. So, to her? It was better than nothing!
"It doesn't have the pretty purply glassy walls..." She commented, looking around for a better look. It was also small..
"But i think it is fine? It doesn't smell funny or anything..."
At least, not YET it didn't. She had not seen the whole place. Curiously, she went to wander. "So... Ah. Why are we making it more hospitable for me too? This is uhm... Ever? Yes! Evers, place. " She still did not know that she would be living here for a while.

Zac took a deep breath again and let it out "Remember how I said...we were looking for somewhere in the outside world that would be safe for you to stay?" he said carefully. "This is...that place."
He waved his hands around at the sparse apartment. "I figure we could... I don't know hang sheets from the ceiling if we had to to make some privacy. Do you need GROCERIES or... towels or...laundry money."

..privacy. That was a reasonable point. He blinked up at the ceiling, fidgeting and scratching at the back of his neck and trying to come up with a good answer to that. Eventually he puffed out a sigh, eyes resettling onto Zac. Uncomfortable maybe.
"...well. Maybe. I hadn't even thought about that." Nor about the groceries; not something he thought about often, really. His mouth twitched and he moved to adjust the edge of the blankets. At least he'd made the bed, right?
"And. Ah. I am kind of broke at the moment." Which was uncomfortable, not quite sure he wanted to talk about the why just now.
