Lenka was patrolling again, like she was supposed to. She always wanted to do what she was supposed to do because that made the city a better place, and made it very much less likely that she would get her super hero powers taken away.
A part of her…a very small part mind you…knew that she wouldn’t have her powers taken away, ********* had told her that much when she had helped her get to be a Super Senshi. Still! Just being reassured didn’t mean that she wasn’t going to worry! If you stopped worrying, that’s when the bad things would just attack! Just like when she would let her guard down. That would be when the bad guys would come and attack her!
Bad things and bad guys. Yuck.
The child sat down on a bench and reached into her bag, pulling out one of the Christmas cookies she had grabbed from her kitchen before she left tonight. She really should try to get in contact with Ambrosia or Pomona again sometime soon…she missed her team, and missed patrolling with real people.
It just got lonely by herself! She got tired of being lonely. She had to find more food senshi someday, and have them all join the team! Together…being united they could really beat the bad guys!

Vindemiatrix held the edge of his skirt out in both hands, frowning at the tear in the fabric as he walked carefully from the scene where he had just vanquished a youma. The thing had had entirely too many claws, but at least it was done terrorizing the city. It had just terrorized the Senshi of Wine pretty soundly, leaving behind a hearty fistful of claw marks through his hose on one leg, and the tattered edge of his skirts in the other. Maybe a few scratches on his arms, too, but not nearly as bad on the ones on his legs.
It got easier to walk with a few steps, though it still remained uncomfortable. He would need a bit of time to heal. Vin felt satisfied overall, though - he had really showed that thing who was boss.
His confidence was a bit augmented by the bit of his magic wine that had ended up on his own uniform through the course of the battle, lifting his spirits and (thankfully) dulling the pain a bit, as well. A claret stain on the white fabric of his seifuku over his left side indicated where he had spilled it, and the magic ability of his wine to work on contact left Vin a bit tipsy, but also helped dull his pain.
He just needed a bit more time to walk it all off before he went home.
Vin caught sight of someone on a bench up ahead - a girl? His senshi sense told him it was another powered person, as well, and not one he needed to worry about. At least it was not a civilian he would have to avoid; Vindemiatrix was not sure he quite felt up to jumping onto the nearby buildings at the moment.
He tried to look as casual as possible as he approached her, offering a smile that turned a touch worried as he got close enough to notice just how young she looked.
"Hey, everything okay?" he asked her, pausing by her bench. Even better that he had fought the youma, then than if it had come to find this little girl instead, senshi or not.

Lenka was nibbling on a cookie, so lost in her thoughts, that when she heard someone speak, she jumped half a foot in the air off of her chair. Her brown eyes were wide, and she very nearly choked on the crumbs of cookie that had made their way down the wrong pipe.
When her brain registered that this was a senshi, the whole fear thing stopped and the trying to breathe set in, causing the girl to cough and sputter, until her airway was clear. “Yes! Yes I’m all right. Sorry, I was daydreaming and I didn’t even feel you close!” She wasn’t the least bit afraid, knowing that this was a good senshi, since good senshi wore white tops and were…well. Good.
She beamed, holding out a hand. “Hi! I’m Sailor Chibi Lenka, and I’m fine, I was just lonely and I missed my team a lot. That’s all. I haven’t seen any of them for a long while…so…I got lonely.”
Maybe this senshi would want to hang out with her and help her patrol some tonight! That would be a relief. Plus, she could talk to someone and not feel silly about talking to herself.

"Ah, sorry, sorry," Vin said as the girl choked, striding closer to make sure she was okay. "I thought you would feel me coming or something." Or see him. He still felt kind of bad, though.
He was relieved at her subsequent smile, though, and he took her hand in his own white-gloved one. "Oh, nice to meet you, Miss Lenka," he replied, a grin forming on his own lips again. "I'm Vindemiatrix, senshi of Wine, but you can totally call me Vin, because I know the full name is a bit of a mouthful." The ground swam slightly under him as he continued to suffer the effects of his own wine, but he came across as reasonably together, if a little chatty.
"Who is your team?" Vin asked, brow furrowing. He might recognize some of the names if she mentioned any, though he knew that there were an awful lot of senshi he didn't know. Then, having gotten a good look at the girl's uniform, inquired, "... Is your sphere watermelons?" It seemed like a silly sphere, but then he had just spilled wine all over himself fighting a monster. "Weird" had taken on a whole new realm of meaning since he had become a magical boy, and Vin had learned not to discount any possibilities. And if Lenka's uniform was not the garb of a senshi of watermelons, then the boy had no idea what else she could possibly be.

With a laugh, Lenka nodded. “I’m okay, I’m okay. It was just cookies, that’s all…just cookies.” She giggled once more as he called her Miss. Well, that made her feel very grown up, something she quite liked. He asked about her team too! “I’m the leader of Team Yum Yum! We’re all the food senshi…well. There’s only three of us now, but we’re a good little team…” …Even if they hadn’t all had a meeting yet…she would have to work on that. Meeting one another was important after all!
A thought struck her before she could answer the question about her sphere. “Isn’t…isn’t wine a food? Isn’t that the food that grown ups drink and stuff…you’re a food senshi too!” It was a sudden realization, but one that was very important. Lenka jumped to her feet, pointing at Vindemiatrix. “You have to join my team. You just have to. Yes! I am the one and only watermelon senshi, and I need you to be a part of my team, okay? You’ll love it! We’re the best team ever!”
He just had to accept the offer, it was clearly a good one.

Vin nodded as she told him about her team, then stepped back when she pointed suddenly. He laughed lightly, putting a hand on top of his hat to hold it down as he felt the world tilt slightly at the movement, and shrugged.
"I guess it's kind of a food, but you can't really live on it." Then the Senshi of Wine glanced upwards and frowned for a moment as he considered senshi teams - could he be on more than one? "I'm with the Jovians," he went on after a moment. "So I'm not sure I can join another team at the same time." Lenka seemed so earnest, though, and the older boy did not want to let her down. "We can still definitely patrol sometimes, though?"
Between the confidence of being in his seifuku and the bit of wine in him, Vin's filter was basically off. "My boyfriend is a Jovian, too, so I have to go with him a lot of the time on patrols."
He fumbled for his senshi cellphone, and flipped it open, taking aim at the girl to scan her in. "But if you need help you can call me. And we can be ... Yummy. Sometimes." Maybe Babylon could come, too.

Brown eyes blinked. What was a Jovian? Was…that funny people? Jovial…that was a word, right? It had been on her vocabulary list a month ago or so… “So, there’s a team for happy people? The Jovians? That’s pretty cool! I could join them too! And then we can all help each other out…because that’s what good guys do!”
Wine was food, and food meant Team Yum Yum. Now that brought them to four whole people, Vin…vind…This guy, Pomona and Ambrosia! It was going to be the best team ever.
They should have a picnic. A Yum Yum Picnic…
“You’re invited to the Yum Yum Picnic, Vind…Vindem…Vin! Okay!” She pulled out her cell phone, then snapped his picture as well, hopping up and down with glee. A picnic! It would have to wait until the spring though, when it got warmer…some night, and they could all get to know one another and they could all be best friends after that. “I’m really glad I got to meet you! This is the best idea I’ve had in a long time!”

"Oh, no, they're all from Jupiter," Vin corrected gently. "Although I guess...." He trailed off momentarily as he recalled their last meeting. "Well, most of us are pretty happy."
He brightened at the suggestion of a picnic. "Picnic? I'm sure I could make time for that. When will it be?" Vin liked the idea of picnics with the chibi senshi better than he liked the thought of fighting alongside her, but, well, he felt better knowing that she could contact him if she needed help. He wondered idly how many youma she had fought, and how, exactly, watermelons had factored into their defeat.
His limbs were aching a bit still from his own most recent dust-up, but Vin was still just far enough gone on his magic wine that it did not particularly bother him. Still, though, he also did not quite feel up to patrolling right now. "Glad I met you, too," he told her. "Hopefully you will not meet anyone unfriendly tonight."

“I’m sure that I won’t meet anyone unfriendly! Besides, if I do, I’m a super senshi now, so I’m pretty good at taking care of myself…The bad thing is when I meet that one bad guy and he pushes me over. He’s a jerk. He’s a real mean bully jerk. Watch out for him okay? He’s a sailor senshi too! But a bad one…a Dark Mirror Senshi and his name is Sailor Remarque. I want to warn everyone about him…’cause he’s so yucky…”
She drew in a breath, then darted forward, hugging Vin for a moment, then pulling away. Another team member. Someone else to watch out for and…Ohh she had to tell Ambrosia and Pomona. “You be careful, Vin! I’ll text you soon, I don’t know when I’m going to have the picnic…but it’s going to be when winter’s over…so…don’t get pushed down by Remarque, or you might skin your knees!”
Lenka laughed then bounced once more, her braids flying up in the air. “I’m so excited and I’m going home now to plan the picnic! I’ll see you later and…ahhhh!” She shook her head, then ran, wanting to go home and start on plans for the great Yum Yum picnic. Even if Vinwas one of the Jupiter happy people, he was still a food, and was still on her team.
Full tummies would always keep chaos away.

"Dark Mirror?" Vin repeated, frowning as he nodded. "I'll keep an eye out for him," he replied. "And beat him up if I see him." He would try really hard to remember the name, but it was not a guaranteed thing right now.
He stumbled slightly at the unexpected hug, but stayed on his feet and laughed at himself, patting the girl on the back once he had regained his balance. "Right, I'll be careful. You just have to be careful, too, okay? Promise?
"And have fun planning that picnic," the Senshi of Wine added. "Let me know if you need me to bring anything. I have a mean macaroni salad recipe my mom taught me."
Regardless of team designations, allies were allies. He would try to remember Ambrosia and Pomona, as well, just in case he could render any assistance to them, too. Vin swept off his hat and bowed elaborately as Lenka took off, and then called after her, "Good night!"
