[VO-PRP] The Innocence and a Child (Hypnos/Steven)

[Appeal]

Sailor Chibi Hypnos had been with Cora when they arrived but somewhere along the way the two had separated after they have given the supplies to the Zodiacs for distribution. She hadn't given all of the supplies away though, keeping several things with her that were tucked away in the backpack that she had strapped over her back. It was also likely that somewhere Cora also had some supplies since they had packed them together.

She had her blanket from her own bed with her still, wanting to keep it with her so she could comfort anyone who needed it along the way. She didn't know how they were feeling, but she liked to think she would be able to help someway. Maybe she could help them sleep and if she did she'd have a blanket with her for them. However, she also had a side task of coming here and that involved finding and making sure Princess Chronos, as well as Guardian Cat Zue, were also okay. The thought of them being hurt up here with the civilians was absolutely horrid. She just wanted to pick Zue up into her arms and hug the fluffy purple cat until he was all better again. Against what Zue would likely prefer, this wasn't limited to him being injured.

She didn't see anyone around so she took a moment to follow her side task.

"Zueeeeee," she called, leaning over and looking under things in the process. "Princess Chronos?"

Steven was frolicking around, getting kind of bored with the complete lack of things to do.

Or rather, things he wanted to do. Obviously he could be cleaning or assisting with boring things but that was... well, boring. But during his aimless frolic he spotted a little girl who looked like she'd just gotten out of bed, still in pajamas.

He pursued, hearing her call out several names. Princess Chronos was one he'd heard already. Zue... maybe vaguely and it didn't stick, but either way, she was probably looking for important zodiac thingamajiggers.

"Who's Zue?" He asked, crouching down on the other side of a table she was searching under so they were at the same eye level.

The child let out a squeal from behind startled, her head hitting the bottom of whatever she had been looking under, It was promptly followed by a long, drawn out sound of pain otherwise described as the word ow as she pulled her head out with her hand rubbing the top of it.

"Zue is a cat," she said. "A purple one."

The fact he was purple was a very important fact and she couldn't leave that out.

Who was this person though? Her eyes floundered over him as she slowly brought herself off the ground, brushing away the tinge of pain before it completely disappeared. Was this one of the civilians? Her eyes lit up as she thought about helping him in any way and form, a distraction from the fact she had been unable to find the princess of the guardian cat.

"Hello!" She said, very enthusiastic, a small smile on her face.

"I'm Sailor Chibi Hypnos, Senshi of Sleep." She said with a curtsy. "Are you one of the missing people from Earth?"

She had to be sure!

"Ah! I'm sorry!" Steven spazzed a little when he ended up startling the little girl, to the point he hit his own head immediately after. He made a face and rubbed the bumped area under his shaggy green mop of hair before looking back to Hypnos.

"A cat," He repeated, half for his own memory. "Purple." He had seen two cat people around, but one was kind of a pale blue-gray while the other was more like lavender purple instead of purple purple.

"Okay! I'll keep an eye out," He said with a smile and a little salute.

"Hello, Sailor Chibi Hypnos!" He added, his greeting a little delayed since he'd managed to dive right into conversation before hand. "Well, yeah, but it's kind of hard to be missing when people have found you," He said, making a little face as if the conundrum gave him a headache.

"Thank you," she replied, happy to hear he would keep his eye out for her.

She frowned a bit though. She may have found him but he was certainly still missing from Earth and everyone who may know him there. Certainly he had family and friends who would be wondering where he was at. He'd been gone for days now and although he may have not be lost in space, he was still missing as far as anyone on Earth was concerned. There must be people there who loved him and wanted to bring him back home...

"But no one on Earth knows where you are, someone must be worried about you. You're still missing to them!"

 

[SpaceSalt]

"Well, that's true," Steven had to admit that much. He hadn't given it an especially lot of thought, though, after he got of his paranoia one of his coworkers would steal stuff out of his locker. He had to wonder if there was even anyone who would call his parents and tell them he was gone. The only creature back there otherwise he could feasibly see missing him was a rodent.

"And what about you?" He asked, bringing his focus back to the little girl in front of him. "How many people on earth know you're here?" It was a legitimate question, even if she wasn't technically 'missing' and could go back whenever she wanted. Did senshi run in family units? Did they even live on earth or just hang out there? She looked pretty young to be operating independently.

What about her? Well, she wasn't missing from Earth, at least not in the same sense. She did tend to disappear from her family quite often though, but it wasn't like they couldn't find her when all they had to do was henshin up and latch onto the nearest Zodiac senshi. She never actually stopped to wonder if they went home and found her gone though, or if they were already up here. How could she though when so many people needed her help?

"I am unsure," she admitted. Not that she was unsure on how many people would know she was here, but more or less, if they were still on Earth. It was quite likely that both Bellatrix and Themis were both here in the Surrounding as well, doing their fair share to help out. She hadn't seen either of them though, so she couldn't say for sure. "I brought my cat with me though!" Cats made everything all right, especially of the magic kind. "And Thanatos," she said as she gestured to the bunny plushie.
