Tonight was a light night, he wasn't out collecting from a load of people. He'd actually decided tonight he'd go light on the energy collecting and then start his plotting for some new place to grab energy from. He'd form some idea and bring it to Painite and see what she thought. Maybe they could drain the workers of a shop and take over for the day? He really wasn't sure. They needed something they could pull off and no get caught doing. He didn't want to risk some big battle or anything coming from his plan, if it was put in to action.
A few orbs of energy tucked in his pocket he jotted down notes and plans. He stayed on a building roof for over an hour making his plans before he came down to ground level, his notebook gone to wherever his weapon went to. Time to just be himself....which meant eying the latest in fashion displayed in the store front windows.
Down on the sidewalk, it took him some time to get down to ground level, he had to take a back fire escape to the back alley of the store roof he'd been on. From the back alley he moved to the side of the building where the alley was well paved and kept nice. Out onto the side walk, heels clicked as he moved. His coat moved out behind him as he moved down the street toward Guuci.
Stopped in front of the store window he cast his slate colored eyes on the mannequins on display, the fashion wasn't too bad. He really did need to do some more shopping, soon, he had a need to get new clothing for the trip to Lily's log cabin in the woods. Sticking a hand in his pocket, rolling the orbs of energy about he stood, staring, he didn't have anything to worry over. It was midnight and no one was walking down the sidewalks, and cars were scarce.

He'd been following the little Negaverser for a while hoping he'd leave a youma lurking around somewhere or at least lead him to one. It wasn't looking like that was going to be the case though and it was almost depressing.
No actually it was really depressing. Things would be so much more fun if he had a youma to dust. They were disappointing him. Plus the little cutie hadn't even noticed he was there.
He'd almost decided to give it up and go looking elsewhere when he noticed the other looking in the store windows. Smirking he slipped out of his hiding place and looked at their reflections in the glass.
"Horrible taste this year. No one looks good in poncho's, ever."

He'd sensed the senshi, but nothing had happened yet so Benitoite had figured he was safe. At least for the moment he figured he was safe to continue on his way, if something came up he'd be ready. Not to say he'd win in a fight, he didn't have such luck, but at least he'd be able to do something to defend himself.
Focusing on the reflection in the window, next to himself. "Indeed, truly horrible and tacky." He spoke turning his head slowly. Slate eyes focused on red eyes. "A senshi with some fashion sense, a wonder truly." Smirking lightly as he moved to fully turn and face the other, his back pressing against the window.
"I'd rather they had something more tasteful in there window. The only good things are the shoes and the bag."
Why was this senshi talking to him? It had happened before but it was a rare thing. This senshi wasn't insulting him, but rather the clothing in the windows. They even had a sense of fashion, judging by what they were wearing at present.

"Shoes maybe that bag is just an cheap excuse for something you could get properly made from an actual designer." He almost sneered at the idea of non designer clothes. "There's nothing really tasteful about this seasons new stuff. It's depressing."
He looked past the lieutenant and into the window for a moment. "Lucky there isn't too much more of it since the new season should come out in a month or so. Then i can hope they get their brains back for long enough to make something nice."
He looked back at the other guy and grinned. "Wouldn't have expected to find one of you window shopping though."

"The bag could indeed be made properly, and by a far better designer. But it isn't all that bad style wise, especially when compared to the actual clothing. If given the choice I'd use the bag as clothing and wear the shoes, as opposed to the actual clothing." Honestly he preferred most fall and winter fashions anyway, summer fashion was rarely ever likeable and spring was iffy at best for the most part. Not to mention his dislike for going out in the summer and dealing with the heat anyway.
"Oh? And why is that, do we all have bad sense of fashion? Or because I'm not off being the big bad evil so many seem to assume I am?" He questioned, giving a slight tilting of his head, blond bangs scattering across his face gently.
"Because if that's the case. I'd like to say that I do have a life, beyond this." Motioning to his currant clothing, which he found quite likeable and comfortable even if it a was hot. "And shopping is one of the ways in which I spend my time." School was another thing, and tending to his plants, and painting. He had his life outside of this.

"Well when you get told you're suppose to fight the big bad evil you don't expect to find them window shopping and contemplating the downfall of summer fashion." His grin widened as he watched the other. The last Negaverser he'd met had tried to stab him so this was a welcome change.
"I've only met three of you, you included, so from personal experience i don't know what to expect." He shrugged and shifted his weight slightly. Heels were still a b***h.

"Perhaps that is true, or perhaps like you pointed out; it's a simple lack of meeting many of us. I can say the same about senshi. Only one has really...talked and not fought me. So this is new for myself as well, and as I said it's new to see one who has a sense of fashion."
It seemed that he'd met more senshi than the other had met negaverse agents, and yet they were in the same boat. This was not the normal experience with the other side. His own heels he'd become used to, he'd had to. Though they weren't all that bad to be honest, he rather liked them actually.
This was odd, he wasn't being attacked or insulted. He wasn't being told he was wrong or evil. Nothing like that and no demands for what he'd been doing tonight. It was...he liked it somehow. It was new, the meeting with that Eternal senshi had been a verbal spar of sorts. This wasn't, it was different from that even if then no violence had ensued.
Slowly he was learning, he had one night instigated a fight when the senshi had not wanted to fight same for a Page. Though the second was due to the Page attacking and killing something which was not of the good side. The first though had been wanting to remove the senshi from the park so he could work, he wanted to get them to leave via fighting them and making them run or leave injured.

"I do know this really cute blond one. He's adorable, yells a lot though." He grinned as he thought about the Captain that he'd handcuffed to a bench. He did like that one and he never seemed interested in trying to kill him or anything.
He liked this one too for the same reason. He wasn't bad looking either. "What would be the point of fighting you? I could kick your a**, lay you out for a week or so then you'd just go right back to doing whatever it is you do. I'd have to kill you to stop you and honestly i don't have any desire to murder anyone." He shrugged and shifted to lean against the building. "I'll stick with dusting things that aren't actually alive in the first place"
At least if he thought about youma that way it was easier. Nothing actually alive just turned into dust when they died.

Raising a slender brow, turning his eyes on the other. "A cute blond...?" He didn't know any blonds, but he didn't know many other agents. "Wait...male." Now that had him and he turned away to continue speaking, and listening to the other.
"While I agree on the murdering part I think your assuming too much in thinking you could kick my a**. You haven't a clue as to what weapon I posses, skills or training I've had. It's really not wise to underestimate a possible opponent." Shaking his head he gave a bit of a wicked smile to the other. "And you don't even know what we do, or what youma are....really. You never asked?" He questioned staring at the other.
"We borrow energy, the people gain it back. And we need the energy, not we ourselves. But the energy is needed. The youma...they were once humans...they are what's left." Remembering what Painie had told him.

"Yea, cute blond boy. I forget his name ... starts with an S i think." He shrugged slightly. "havent' run into him in a while, pitty really." He did like the blond. He made things interesting and so far hadn't tried to kill him on the spot.
He tilted his head slightly at the rest of what the other boy said. "So youma are people you've drained to the point of not existing anymore? Interesting." He'd have to think about that. He liked taking down the youma down but knowing they were once people? That was ... odd.
"Do you know why you need the energy? Or are you just collecting it because someone told you to?"

Interesting, someone who was freely speaking of their gender preference. Not something he'd often seen in other people. But nothing which did more than interest him in a slight way. This one was still a senshi
"No, the youma were people. The Moon Queen turned them in to youma. They take energy to remain alive...as alive as they are anyway." He spoke giving a bit of a shrug. "I haven't met this agent your speaking of, though if they are cute...perhaps they are worth meeting."
A shake of his blond head. "I was told by someone to gather energy, but I was not told to do so with out knowing to what the energy goes to. I'm not some blind sheep being lead about by my nose." There was a certain amount of dislike in his voice, dislike not for the other but for those who were blind sheep.
"Tell me, I find it disconcerting myself, but why even begin to think of someone on the opposite side of this war in such terms? A simple comment or is it something you would venture to pursue?" Benitoite himself was not about to give voice to such thoughts, it would give those thoughts power. And he couldn't picture having anything with someone n the other side of the fence.

"So you know what you're doing this for and still think it's alright to drain people of their energy?" He tilted his head slightly. "Which makes me think the ultimate goal can't be all that good. Otherwise i'd think you could just tell people what you were doing and they'd offer their energy freely."
That seemed like it would be the better way to do things if you needed energy for something good for the world.
He didn't know who the Moon Queen was either but he honestly didn't care. If she was important someone would have mentioned her before.
"Think of someone in what way? That they're cute?" He blinked. "I don't have anything against your kind so far. Other than one who attacked me without provocation, so i don't know what all the fuss is about. All i'm interested in for now is keeping the youma from multiplying like cockroaches." He tucked a piece of hair behind his ear as he watched the other boy. "So, honestly, I don't even know what 'sides' there are. I know what i am and i know the senshi seem to hate all of you but so far i haven't found anything truly revolting. I just think the whole energy draining thing is pointless."

"It's borrowing really, they regain their energy after all." He spoke, pushing off the window he'd been leaning against. "Perhaps, but do you know what your fighting for?" He questioned. Did he know? Did he know what he fought for and continue to fight? If he were a senshi and found out what he knew, what he'd been told by not one but two General's, he'd give up fighting.
"They seem to think were stealing and killing people. While I did hear it happened in the past I was also told it was something of the past, not that I can speak for everyone. But, I would say the senshi, at least many, have an issue with the borrowing of energy; treating it as though it's something truly horrendous." He didn't see it as such, how could he? People gained it back, and it was being put to a good use. It was working to help them keep their freedom.
"You are the second senshi I've met, not to say I've met many, who doesn't see fit to judge me simply by what uniform I wear." Something admirable. Listening he gave a small smile. "I simply can't see anyone, on either side, finding someone on the opposite side attractive; at least not where they'd speak it aloud. I know I wouldn't, though you are the first male senshi I've set eyes on."

"I told you what -I- fight for. I enjoy dusting youma so that's what I do. It's fun." He shrugged again. "If there was some grand plan for the Senshi i would think we'd be told when we awaken and wouldn't be left on our own." If there was some grander plan he'd figure it out later. For now he didn't care.
"You're not borrowing it though. Borrowing it implies that you're asking the people and then returning it later. So by definition you are stealing the energy. That's all i have a problem with. I think if you're going to do it then you should ask and take energy from people who are willing to donate to your cause. It doesn't matter if they get it back. By that same logic you could justify robbing someone of all their money which i think we can all agree is bad."
He watched the other for a moment and tried not to laugh at his last statement. "Physical attraction is just that. I mean it's not like i'm finding dark corners to snog your side in or anything. I can appreciate a good looking person either way." He smirked when the other commented on him being the first male senshi. "At least you got to see the best the Senshi have to offer in terms of looks first."

"I was wondering if you had some grander reason. I doubt your reason is the same as everyone elses." He was searching for what drove them all, why? It wasn't just youma, and were these senshi not told anything when awakened? Were they really just sent out to fight with no knowledge of hat big reason there was? How...odd and unfair. Those thoughts were pushed away as the other continued.
"I will agree with the part about robbery. But those who are robbed, and would benefit from that robbery not happening, are hurt. No one is hurt from this, so either way it is still different." He still couldn't shake the idea of it being borrowing. No harm was done and people regained the energy taken. Though there was like the other said, a correlation between that and robbing a bank or something. The bank would regain that money, though there was still something telling him that it was different. But it wasn't something he could put words to. "At least to me. I cannot put words to the difference I feel toward both situations. But it is there."
"To be completely honest, and to break from my usual self, I will say that I'm not sure if I should find it offensive or be glad that your not finding some dark place..." Trailing off the blond wished right now for darker skin, as he felt his cheeks warming. As blunt as he was there were was one area he didn't speak much of. He would freely speak of his sexuality but speaking further down that path he didn't tread.
It was witha a smile that he laughed softly. "Not lacking in modesty, are you." He spoke, shaking his head slightly. He didn't go in to the others comments on attraction being just that. It was something he kept in check with himself, didn't voice or anything. Though he just had, he didn't know why he'd done so.
