The wind whipped passed her face as Diana stared forward, a twinge of excitement as the civilian form of Sailor Merope zipped her along on his skateboard. She did her best to contain any verbal joy she felt, best not to alarm the other civilians. There seemed to be a fair amount of people bustling through the streets, a couple seemed to snap at the teenager as he made his way through the crowds towards his destination. She caught something about respect and generations. She wasn't sure she followed.
It didn't stick in her mind for too long though as they began to approach a larger building, full of windows that showed no amount of dedication to making sure that the decor matched well. She began to wiggle in the boy's arms as they came closer, and the ride began to slow down. This must be where he lived. Where this other cat lived as well. She was looking forward to meeting another guardian. Indeed she was quite curious about the entire situation.
"Is this where you live, Merope?" she could, of course, be wrong, and it was just best to make sure.

Carter was oblivious to what other people said. It was the same old, same old with him: people expected him to get out of the way despite the fact that he would dart on and off the sidewalk and around people. He knew where he was going -- it was everyone else who didn't, preoccupied as they were on their cellphones. The kitten even had to suffer the occasional jarring as he dropped off the curb only to hop back onto it.
At the very least, there were no accidents. "Call me Carter," he replied, shifting so that one foot landed on the pavement. The skateboard stopped, and the boy stomped down on its tail to pop the board's nose into his waiting hand. "But yeah, I live here with my teammate and our guardian cat. We only recently found him yesterday, but... ah, here. Can you perch on my shoulder for a sec? Thanks." Carter shuffled the kitten up and onto his shoulder, allowing him to dig through his pockets. He withdrew his key and unlocked the door, walking in. "Hey! Damian? Po? Either of you here? I've got something to show you~" There was a note of mischief in his voice, and a wide grin on his face to go along with it. "You'll never guess what I ran into!"

Poseidon had found that he enjoyed being a house cat. Sleeping on a bed was much preferable than under cars, and he had convinced Damian to rig up a tug rope so Po could open the fridge even in his cat form. There wasn't a lot more he could ask for when it came to creature comforts.
When Carter had come home the Mau had been napping on top of the fridge, one paw hanging off the edge. Hearing Carter's voice his ears twitched, but he didn't move immediately. First one eye opened and then the other, the green orbs turning in the bluenette's direction. "Who is that ball of fur on your shoulder?" Of course Poseidon knew it was a cat, but he wasn't completely sure if it was another guardian cat or not. He'd never ran into one before.
Pushing himself to his paws languidly he jumped down from the fridge landing gracefully on his paws. He padded over to Carter as if he had all the time in the world, twining around his feet, his fluffy tail batting at his shins. "And we're out of tuna."
"No we're not," Damian walked up to the apartment right then, carrying brown grocery bags in either arm. "I noticed you scarfed it all down this morning so I went out and picked up some things." One bag was full of food, a big bag of dry cat food and several cans of wet, along with a few cans of tuna. The other bag had supplies: a litter box, litter, a collar, food and water bowls, and a brush amongst other odds and ends.
Slipping around his roommate he smiled at him, he was still a bit awkward about the boyfriend thing, but he was getting better. More natural, less oh s**t I might ruin everything by doing the wrong thing. It wasn't until he had put the bags on the table that he was able to get a good look at Carter and noticed the extra feline. He quirked a brow glancing from kitten to Carter. "Who's that?"

"Carter? Alright then." she grinned. "I like that name!" As they entered the apartment, her nose was assaulted with some strange smells. Raising a paw to cover it for a moment, she did her best not to openly insult her new companion. After all, it was still better than nasty ol' dogs and angry fat men with brooms. Carter called off in the house, and she pulled her paw down, her head zipping around as she looked the place over, momentarily distracted from the smells.
Another voice, followed by a soft plop on the floor, Diana's eyes were met with the sight of a large, fluffy cat. That must be Poseidon, she mused to herself. Before she could say anything, her attention was dragged to a red headed, pale boy. Taller than Carter. That must be Damian.
Master of the obvious.
Taking a deep breath, the kitten jumped down from Carter's shoulder and landed in front of Poseidon and the other boy. Before the bluenette had a chance to explain himself, Diana began piping in on her own behalf.
"My name is Diana, I am guardian to Small Lady." she offered in her chirpy, cheery tone. "Though," her face made a bit of a frown, "I seem to have lost track of her." her gaze turned to the fluffier, larger cat.
"Carter says you may be able to help me though? I hope so. I'm terribly worried." she glanced up to the the maine coon's forehead, her eyes focusing in on the star mark, her current train of thought taking a crash course off the nearest track.
"Huh."

"This is --" Carter began, cutting himself off as Diana hopped off of his shoulder to introduce herself. He shrugged, grinning down at Poseidon before closing the door behind Damian. He followed him towards the table where the bags were set down and began to empty them, stopping to stare at the collar Damian bought. Would a guardian cat really tolerate wearing one? He quietly put it down -- Damian could handle that.
"Small Lady is that princess we saw at one of the senshi meetings," he explained to Damian. "The one with pink hair? Part of it sticks up like this -" He held up his hands as if he were miming moose antlers, but instead he kept his fingers together and straight. He even wiggled them, trying to make them look like a rabbit's. "She had a leopard with her when Elysion's battle began?"

Damian paused taking things out of the bag when the kitten spoke. He stared down at her listening, but wasn't sure if he knew who the cat was talking about. He looked to Carter questioningly as he pulled a bag of food out of the brown bag.
When his roommate spoke the lights clicked on upstairs and the redhead nodded. "Oh yeah, her, uh" He paused trying to think of her name. He had heard it in passing. "Chibimoon! Yeah, I dunno where she is, sorry." He frowned a little, feeling bad that he couldn't help more. But maybe Poseidon would know. He looked down at the fluffy cat, "Po?"
The Mau had been staring at the little cat as she went off about Small Lady and racking his brain to try and see if he knew anything about her. While the name did sound familiar he didn't remember seeing anyone by that description. Poseidon had spent most of the last year or so searching for his team and surviving on the streets. It wasn't easy the life of a stray.
Moving out from underfoot Poseidon sat in front Diana, bending down to look at her. She was the first guardian cat he'd seen, other than himself of course. "I am sorry, little one, but I haven't seen her." He paused for a moment and then without consulting either human volunteered their help as well. "But we can help you find her, if you'd like us to?"

Diana's head zipped back and forth as she listened to everyone speak. She was still, more than relieved to hear that these people knew of Small Lady, and that they had seen her. It was wonderful to hear that she had been alright as well. What was discouraging was that none of them seemed to know where she was. Her face fell as Po said he'd not seen her, but it lit up like the holidays when he offered their assistance to help find her.
"I'd love that! Thank you so much!" For a moment she forgot her place and trotted right over, giving the fluffier cat a nuzzle before looking from him to the boys as well.
"Thank you, all of you. Your help will not go unappreciated." she grinned as well as a kitty could and plopped back down to a seated position.
"Perhaps we could start by knowing where it was you boys saw her last?"
