"Endymion" had not been seen since Elysion, and for good reason. He was keeping low, and looking out for a special little girl, but it seemed appearances were necessary, and he needed to take on a new tactic. Failure was not an option and Beryl was watching even more closely after the gem was stolen from him that day. Right now was the time to change his appearance and reputation from the mixup during Elysion, and that meant going out - in the cold - and doing some legwork.
It was only good that he grew up doing sports that he could even tolerate it, and he adjusted his attire as he stood in the nicer part of town. Why? Well, he wasn't about to be caught dead in the slums. There were other officers for that sort of trash, and he doubted his little lady would be around those parts. No. He sticked uptown, near the entertainment district, where 5-star restaurants and theaters rubbed elbows, sticking to the shadows and moving from roof to roof and keeping his eyes peels for any sign of rose pink.

“Well, Hello there ‘your majesty’” the voice rolled the words over a glib tongue. A pervasive sarcasm that turned the words that might have been polite or respectful into fine razors “It’s been a while, since Elision actually.” He moved, cat like, a rolling gate that was at once casual and predatory. Not a hungry one, but one as interested in toying with his ‘food’ as he was in capturing it and killing it. Sated enough to turn it into something more of a sadistic game than the bloodbath one might expect.
“I noticed the last time I saw you that you seemed to like to give orders, I’m going to advise you not to try that now. I will also call to your attention that there is no one else to throw into your place should I chose to become violent, and it’s likely that you will be one of those I make an exception for. I do hope I’ve made myself clear on the issue.”
He spoke with great civility, like an invitation to sit down over tea and biscuits sans the British accent, but the look in his eyes was dark; like deep water, glassy stillness that belied a danger and a depth, the promise of slowly drowning in every scrap of knowledge that glittered behind those pale blue eyes.

It was the energy signature that caught his attention before the voice. A wave that mimicked his own, but was far more powerful. He half wondered if Beryl had decided to let herself breath from her dusty tomb of a throne room to speak with him about his progress, and was in no way prepared to tango with her at the moment. As it was, it wasn't her, but a man in a heavy coat and what looked like a germ protecting mask. That or he wished to be a ninja. Either way, it made a well-trimmed eyebrow raise as the man - no, a boy, addressed him in a manner he wasn't in the least bit willing to take.
The mention of Elysion had him trying to remember anyone with the sort of signature that this boy processed, but he only remembered the woman with the purple hair. He was new, and from the sound of it, not at all happy to see him here. He wondered if he was trying to have some fun despite Beryl's update on the matter at hand.
"You make a lot of assumptions. While you may think you know me, let me be straight in that I didn't get the memo on who you may be or what makes you think I take advice from you." He wasn't exactly shaking in his boots here. He felt rather immune to any violence the boy might want to throw his way.

((TY for the update via pm MK <3))
“I know you’re as authentic as I would be if I decided to make myself appear as a member of senshi royalty.” He replied with a dark glitter in his eyes. “If you’re too ignorant of rank to take the advice I can only be sure to educate you, I wouldn’t put too much faith in Her to save you if you choose to be arrogant to the wrong people given how ‘successful’ you’ve been so far.”
The words took a darker turn, the idea that the man had been at best a captain trying to order around a general, as well as someone whom had been utterly unknown to the body of the dark kingdom still grated nearly as much as the behavior he’d shown.
“Perhaps I should offer you help in regards to being more ‘convincing’ as far as the Senshi are concerned. You’re last impression made upon them was memorable, but certainly not to your advantage.”

Endymion gathered a lot from just these few minutes. Someone had been briefed, and on that, he was wondering if junior came over to show who the Alpha dog was. Impressed? He wasn't.
Instead, he crossed his arms about his chest. "I think I know a little bit more about how to appear like royalty than you.." He said with a smile. ".. but if you are offering backup, then throw your resources my way. I'm not objecting." Free manpower was free manpower, and he would always be willing to accept the officers under the officer's powers with open arms. As it stood, he was just one person on a very important mission, and as shown through Elysion, he had been very much alone when he showed up to the party. He could let the boy ramble on his own ingenious plots and take what he needed.

“Apparently you do think that, unfortunately that’s not the manner you’re being received. Not that you’d need that kind of information at –all-“ He waved his hand casually. “You may request assistance, but that may be somehow beneath you for the time being.”
“It’s well and good to fling yourself out here at the Queen’s behest, but surely, it would be noble of you, wise of you to request the resources available to you to turn your rather grievous faux pa into something that might lure the bait into your trap.”
He arched an eyebrow, what else was there to expect when most respected only the Physical Violence of Tanzanite, or the madness of the ‘Queen’, they would be ill prepared at best to deal with someone who thought more than he struck. After all the backlashes of dealing with him had always been indirect at best, leaving his civilian victims at least paranoid and edgy in regards to strings of bad luck.

The prince stared as the other talked, and waited, and waited, and really wished he had a watch just for the novelty of looking at it. Instead, he tried not to yawn, and waited until the other agent finished.
He was about to be snarky, but paused. Resources and an offered plan. If the boy was going to give him manpower or whatever else he might have in his arsenal and also offer a means as to how to accomplish his goal, then he would take it. There was no point in continuing this wild goose chase in the dark longer than needed. He didn't have that sort of time to waste.
"And what resources and plan did you have in mind?" He was wary at what cost this would come down to, but remained open to at least hear what the other was putting on the table.

“You –pang- of the same energy I do, a lesser level true but have you considered how to explain that? It is not perhaps so unusual to see me speaking even to members of the side of order but you’ll need to appear as our enemy, not simply be seen standing without us. Are you willing to consider hearing what I have to say of the former if nothing else?”
He tilted his head watching the haughty young man, so arrogant and proud. He found it remarkable that no one on the side of Chaos hadn’t at least marred that pretty face let alone not found and tried to kill him again. The aura would have been confusing if nothing else but just a few words would likely have set the more aggressive officers off.

Any mention of 'lesser' bothered his, and his trimmed eyebrow twitched at the word. He was, by no degree or level, lesser than this boy. However, the Negaverser was willing to talk, and he wasn't going to let information slip by due to corrections. He'd get his mark against him later.
Maybe make him polish his throne or tend to some minor task like shinning his shoes.
"Oh, don't let me stop you. Go on." He said, hands crossed and one hand gesturing for the General King to lead to where he was going.

“No.” He replied with a casual blink. “If you haven’t the capability to complete the thought on your own, there is no reason to help you. You will have proven to have no redeeming value, no worth beyond your appearance, which I can easily duplicate…and that would leave you as an insufferable, arrogant swaggering OFFICER, who…when we kill Beryl, I will personally find, and show you what should have become of the man you happen to look like.”

He looked at the boy, expression flat and displeased. "You've wasted my time to talk about things I've already know and considered, and then openly stating that you would help yet think little of me. There was no point in us discussing anything if you were simply here to say you didn't like me like some teenager. As for Beryl..." He paused and then smiled. "...no. She's a big girl. She has plenty of information up her own sleeve. Let her play her own cards." He could play his own deck after all, but this officer openly stating he was against her. To be in the Negaverse and then openly admit you were intending to kill the old monarchy? He knew what sort of officer he was then, and if he was this powerful, that meant Beryl was on the decline of her rule. If that was the case, he'd need to secure his spot on both sides in order not to be taken down with either one.
He'd have to give a little to gain.
"If you wanted a report, then ask directly. I don't like beating around the bush as you've done." It was hardly entertaining speech and rather bland. He found Zink a poor speaker.
He adjusted his stance. "As of now, most of the Negaverse dislikes me. As you've seen. My information wasn't up to par when given to me during Elysion. I improvised. To excuse that behavior, I just need to continue to act and excuse everything under the haze of being uninformed, new to this world, and not knowing any better. A mistake in the heat of battle and I the lost victim. My memory simply isn't what is was." He paused to touch his brow in a pained, sad expression to mock the image of being the poor prince in all this mess.
"As of now, I just need a select few to believe my story and to avoid Chronos at all cost. My dearest child is still confused due to that loyalty. Right now, I need a moment of supreme sacrifice against the Negaverse with a captive audience. Even smaller moments of good will that, despite what a little pang of energy might say, will make them overlook it. They are all rather sensitive to such a signal. I've already noted such a case."
He crossed his arms about his chest. He felt that, given the situation, Beryl might be overthrown before he had time to make that act. He needed protection and in that case, he either needed it by being on the side of the General King or against him with the senshi. All until he could assume the throne.

“Remember one thing, you are, a captain. Regardless of your face, your origins, or the attitude you would LIKE to keep. You ARE a captain.” His voice was quiet, dangerously so in the way that crept over skin like the blade of a knife. “And you made your opinions of the rest of us very clear before I just informed you of where your Lady stands.” He murmured. “You will have to do a lot of back tracking to a lot of people if you want people to help you. Ask even the senshi I keep… I am not unreasonable.”
A truce, or as close as they might come perhaps given how the conversation had started, eyes, the window to the soul had at least shown some calculation on the part of the ‘Prince’. He might not trust the young man but they would listen to each other now he thought.
“Endymion was prince of the Earth, you could I believe, argue… that unlike the knights he might, reasonably gain the feel of Chaos, because most of the world lies IN chaos. Why not tell ‘your’ sweet princess, that your energy is that of the world, but your nature is your own.” He waved a hand as though to present the idea for consideration.
