After sneaking out of the artifact room, Draconis had returned to her senshi duties. She had seen a few civilians talking with each other about a lost brother. That was a little sad. Draconis didn't want to think about being separated from her mother, or even her father if she was honest with herself.
She had been running back and forth from the various outposts, though most of her time had been spent in the Virgo Outpost. All of the civilians with broken things from the space whale hadn't exactly been easy to deal with, but the senshi and knights seemed to be doing their best. It was tough, but moral was high. At least from Draconis' standpoint.
So when she bumped into a knight, she was actually in a surprisingly kind mood. For Draconis anyways.
"Uhhh sorry!" was all she could mumble as she picked up the box she had been carrying. A few bottles rattled inside, but it seemed as though nothing was broken. That was always good, right?

The Virgo outpost was the one that Celsus had already begun to spend the most time in. At first it had been the Leo outpost, merely for its architectural beauty and wondrous, elaborate tapestries and fixtures, but since his awakening, he had felt much more inclination to reserve his free moments for the outposts of his temporary Captain and the one belonging to the Princess.
Not to mention that it was the one where he had been sleeping since getting stuck out in the Surrounding in the first place. He felt comfortable here, and welcome, despite the oddity of the situation.
This particular morning, he had been merely roaming the halls, lost in thought. A good chunk of his musings had been spent contemplating the slight strangeness to his outfit - most specifically the heeled shoes - but he could not really complain. It was comfortable and easy to move around in, and he rather liked it on a whole.
It was just those shoes....
"Oof!"
He had run into something. Or rather, something had run into him - a girl, a senshi by the looks of it, with long dark hair and carrying a rather large, cardboard box.
Or at least, she had been carrying it, before she'd toppled into him.
"Here, let me help you - "
Ducking down, Celsus gathered the box in his arms and stood, looking at her expectantly.
"Well?" he said. "Where are you headed? I can carry this for you."

Draconis smiled sweetly at Celsus, thankful he at least had the dignity to pick up the box. What she did not like was that he offered to carry it for her. Draconis may have been a lady, but she wasn't about to let anyone do ANYTHING for her. It was a sign of weakness to let others do what you could do for yourself after all.
"Thank you," she said briksly, "But I can take the box on my own, thank you." It was clear from her tone that she wasn't joking around in the least. It wasn't so much of a "let me do this" as it was "you will give that box to me NOW" sort of tone.
She looked up for a moment and tapped her shoes while answering his question. "I'm headed to the Virgo Outpost, with supplies." She thought for a moment then added, "Or at least, I was."

Celsus had never met this senshi before.
That was not unusual, however - he had never met quite a bit of the senshi, anybody other than the little girls and the cats, practically. But this particular senshi he had not even seen around before, in all his time in the Surrounding.
He blinked at her owlishly behind wire-rimmed spectacles, giving her a curious look. The tone of her voice, which at first had been a little sweet, was now forceful and almost commanding.
Oh. She's one of THOSE girls.
A small smile tugged at Celsus' lips, but he fought the urge, remaining stoically calm.
"Of course, of course," he responded breezily, and deposited the box into her waiting arms, perhaps a little heavier than he should have. He hid the amusement in his eyes, instead adopting an innocent look as he folded his arms behind his back, rocking back on his heels.
"You were? Oh please, do not let me get in the way your supply giving," Celsus said, and gestured for the young senshi to pass him. "By all means, keep on your way."

Draconis sagged a bit under the weight of the box, as she had been before, but she wasn't about to hand the box back to him. After all, who says "oh nevermind, take it back and carry it for me." Now that would just look weird.
There was something in his tone that both intrigued and irked her. He was laidback, remarkably so, but it was like he was mocking her. Maybe he just talked weirdly, but somehow she still managed to take offense (but then, she took offense at a lot of things). His tone quickly changed from that of sincere concern to mocking playfulness.
He was one of THOSE boys.
So instead, she narrowed her eyes and asked, "And where are you headed Mr..." She searched for a name vacantly. He didn't look like a senshi, and he gave off the knight aura that she had caught from Bimini back on Earth, and so she jumped to conclusions. These knights certainly had interesting outfits, that was for sure.
