Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hum ted um la tidly dee. A prince senshi’s life was the life for him. Castor that is. Chilling out, dusting youma like a boss, tormenting Pollux with joining him for a patrol, occasionally tormenting other senshi lovingly. It was the life. What wasn’t the life was hearing a string of curses coming from one of streets he occasionally patrolled.
Thinking it was probably just somebody having a bad dad, he kept out of sight…until he saw just what a certain civilian was saving. “Well s**t.” Running up, a decisive kick to the youma sent it off the girl. “Been a while since I saw you last.” The youma hissed, getting up, ready for a round two. Glancing over to her, he sighed. “You may hate me for this, but I am not about to just let you die over pride.”

Oh god seriously? SERIOUSLY? This girl must have had a death wish. “Wait- God damn-“ Bitches. Goddamn bitches. Having to try and do everything on their own. “******** wait-“ Before he could stop her the youma was flicking it’s tentacles around in delight. The prey was coming to it! As her fist landed it hissed at reacted with and slap of one slimy appendage.
“s**t-“ Grabbing her before more damage could be done, one hand reached up for his tiara. Pulling it off, the attack was practically hissed. Spinning glowing headgear of death flew at the youma hitting it right on. From darkness to dust, the youma was dead. Thank god. Now to deal with-

“What the ******** were you thinking? That could have killed you!”

Oh my god would he ever get a break? No, probably not. As Ellie fought to get away from him, Castor didn’t bother trying. What did have him curious was the fact she had tried fighting it. She was just a civilian, hell, while some might fight they sure as all hell didn’t know what youma were. They shouldn’t anyway. “That’s a bit odd.” He said, arms crossing. “Most people don’t know that the monsters are called youma.” Blue eyes narrowed. “And for one to know that, as well as just who I am-“ He was betting she either had connections, or, she was way to involved for her own good. “You’re a bit suspicious.”

It might have been blunt, but he didn’t see the point in beating around the bush. “If anything, the youma is dead and you’re alive. Even if you got sent to the hospital, considering? I’d prefer to be alive and in pain than being dead. Death is a little more long term and all that.” His frown was obvious. Save a life and get yelled at. Standard senshi procedure. Not that different from other civilians in that respect.
And hand reached out. “But if you need to go to the hospital I’ll escort you.” Eye flicked to the cast. “I honestly didn’t want to hurt you by accident, but I also didn’t want to see you get killed.”

Ellie was getting on Castor nerves. Pretty easy to do normally, but he was trying not to flip his s**t. He really was. Trying as hard as he could, he couldn’t help but twitch at her sarcasm. “…” Bite his tongue was what he was going to have to do to keep himself from bitching at her. Why did civilians think that they could do it themselves or that senshi wanted to hurt them. Well, he’d take sarcastic girl over screaming woman any day.

Crossing his arms, he walked after her. “How did you know my name, and for that how did you know that was called a youma?” Call him paranoid, but he figured she was one of three things. An ally, an enemy, or a regular girl who was in way to deep. “As for being perfectly fine you didn’t look fine. You looked like a girl in a cast, trying to fight a youma like an idiot. What if I didn’t show up? What if it had others? What if that was just a baby and the mother was nearby? What if a negaverse agent was hanging about? I assume from how you know what a youma is, you know what a negaverse agent is.” A huff. “I am here to protect, but people like you make it ******** hard when they up and think they can do it themselves. I want to keep people safe, even if they know it or not. Act ungrateful if you want, but for ******** sake don’t act like it was nothing. An attack on your life is still an attack on your life Ellie.”
He remembered her name. He also had bitched. WHOOPS.

Another huff. “Hospital or not, I still don’t know if it injured you. You act like it didn’t but I would like a definitive answer.”

"I said your ******** name Ellie. Because I know who you are, even if you don't know who I am. All things considered, it's safer that way. The less you know about me the better." A hand picked at it buttbow. "Besides, I'm not Castor all the time. Everybody is human in the end." True, they were all human, but not everyone was good, just like not everyone was bad. Sadly with the level of violence the negaverse kept at, identities were best hidden for all parties.

Plus she might have hated him even more.
"...." She assurance was still not settling, but with the way she was acting he figured to drop it. "Thank you. I tend to worry, and I am sorry for causing you pain, even if brief. Truthfully I'd rather have not hurt you. We senshi don't need anymore bad press." It was a bitter pill to swallow at times. For all the good they did, the damn negaverse had to go and ******** s**t up. "If it makes you feel better, I haven't seen you since we first met a few years ago."

He kept walking. "From your attitude, you haven't seemed to change much."

“Yes and no.” Her calling him a jackass got him smiling. Hey, he wasn’t going to deny the obvious. “Castor is who I am in truth, but I can’t say who I was before I knew I was Castor was any less real, any less a part of who I am. “ She kept acting like she knew more than she let on. “If you keep acting like this I don’t suppose you’d tell me just how you learned about senshi and youma?” He figured it didn’t hurt to ask.

“As for out of uniform, when we met I was more interested in who’s pants I could get into than much else. Now I like to think I’ve changed. Married and less focused on those types of things, but the a** part?” He laughed. “Yeah, probably still and doubt that will change or go away. You on the other hand I don’t know. But you really should just accept help. Even if you think you didn’t need it, which would you have considered better? Me trying to help or me standing by and watching? “ It was an honest enough question. “Sorry if it comes off as me being a presumptuous jerk, but I’d think people made at me helping is better than having them pissed I didn’t help at all. Now that I think about it-“ He stopped his pace and crossed his arms. “Do you honestly this less of me for try to help?”

“Woof woof.” Was his reply. “Consider yourself lucky if a negaverse officer heard you speaking about them; they would probably kill you. People aren’t supposed to know. Not only is it safer for you, it’s easier for us. Watch your mouth, because these days what you say can get you killed.” He huffed. “And how was that too much information? I didn’t go into detail about my sex life did I? Because that is most definitely too much information. “ He chuckled a bit, not thinking to much into it.

She was much like he remembered her, if a bit less dramatic. Then again he’d been a bit more dramatic and douchy. Oh well, time moved on. “People are never incapable but that doesn’t mean they are invincible. Sometimes we senshi like to think we’re stronger, better than everyone else. We get arrogant, and then we put not just ourselves but everyone who depends on us at risk. Many of us don’t have the experience of having our deaths mere seconds away and surviving. Many of us are lucky that we never had to see someone we love suffer because of what we are. Some of us forget that we as senshi, are not necessarily better than anyone else, we are just lucky enough to have a gift. Regular people are the same in a way. It’s easy to forget that for each time you move alone, you are leaving others behind. You’re forgetting your weakness, and letting pride or arrogance make you weaker for it.” He wasn’t sure if it would make sense, but, it did to him.

“I suppose a bit of myself would prefer you to like me, but I can’t force that. Pretty much the whole city is the same. I wish I could show them just why we fight, but that’s not an option, it’s not something we can do.” Sadness had crept into his voice. Not so much towards her, but towards the general fact. “Sorry. For blabbering at you. This is about as far as I’ll go. If I linger any longer near you I’m bound to attract attention, and none of the good kind.”Scratching the back of his head he smiled. “I’ll hang back for a block before I’ll leave, if anything picked up on me, that would give you enough time to getaway and find somewhere safe. Hopefully that won’t happen, but better safe the sorry.”
