Welcome to Gaia! ::

Navi had been checking the large tree in the park periodically since her run in with Atë, and never once had the other girl returned. Until now. Navi could feel her as she approached, and that familiar aura brought a satisfied smile to soft, pink lips. She knew the other would return, eventually, and now here she was, and apparently stronger.

No matter, Navi herself had reached a new plateau of power. No longer the baby warrior that had happened upon Atë in her tree. She was far more experienced, a super, and that new confidence seemed to radiate off her in waves as she strolled up silently behind the waiting girl. "Are you waiting for me?" She sounded pleased, but there was no bite to her tone. She had no want to needle and prod at Atë. The Senshi of Pollution would one day belong to the Dark Mirror Court, and you did not treat future allies so rudely.

"A Super yourself? Congratulations are in order." She approached until there was only a yard between them, the delicate point of her chin tipping gently to one side as she smiled down at the woman.

She was still beautiful, voluptuous and lovely. Navi's eyes still roamed despite her general penchant for men.

"Have you thought more about my offer, if that why you're here?" Dark clad arms moved to fold lightly across her stomach, and she tapped a bare finger against the crook of her elbow.

There was a silver of satisfaction for having managed to sneak up on the other senshi, but she kept it from showing on delicate features, and instead merely smiled benignly as Atë threw out her defensive retort. "Of course not," she agreed, intent on placating her target's frayed nerves, rather then needle any further. It might have been fun, baiting Atë, if she hadn't already made up her mind that the Senshi of Pollution would belong to the Dark Mirror Court. Besides, white moon or not, Navi could admit having formed an attachment to the girl.

When congratulated herself the dark senshi ducked her head in a bow, grinning proudly. "Thank you." The compliments were nice, but the tail of Atë's statement was the more important bit. "If it's information you want, I can give it to you." Bare fingers had paused in their gentle tapping, but they started up again, a slow and steady rhythm as she watched Atë pace.

She listened intently as the other girl lay out the complicated thoughts that had been on her mind lately, patiently waiting for her to finish before so much as moving. A sympathetic smile was offered as she passed Atë and moved towards the bench to take a seat, hands lowering to either side to curl loose around the edge. "Your perceptions of chaos are still so very clouded." She almost sounded sad, as if it hurt that Atë would imagine her a killer. It might even have been true.

One half gloved hand lifted, beckoning the order aligned senshi to come sit beside her. Fingers curling loosely around her wrist. It was a comforting gesture, as well as show that she meant the other girl no harm.

"You assume that Order is here to help, and all that follow your queen," she actually managed to keep the venom from her voice when talking of serenity, it was impressive. "Are good, and just." She shook her head. "I have seen my share of wickedness from the side of good. They attack without provocation, sling blame and bias thoughtlessly." Her expression darkened, disgusted with hypocrisy of the white moon, but she pushed it away after a moment, looking up with a soft smile.

The hand not currently holding Atë's rose, and she touched the other girl's chin ever so lightly. "Do I seem a mindless killer to you?" Her head tilted, and she searched the that pretty face for an answer. "I have killed no one, I hunt only those that would hurt others. Thugs, perverts, and thieves, but they're still alive, and perhaps now they will think twice before harming anyone else again. Is that bad?" She was very careful with whom she chose to steal energy from, more so then most in her court, she never took those she saw as innocent.

As for not being a killer? Well, it was true enough. She had not yet managed to snuff out Camelot's insufferable flame, though she would give much to do so. Atë didn't need to know that though, that was grudge beyond just order and chaos, personal.

As bad guys went, Navi was fairly tame. Least until you managed to get on her bad side, like those god forsaken knights, then she could be just as vindictive and petty as the whole of her alliance was meant to be. She didn't see herself a villain though. Surely chaotic, there was no denying that, but the ideals she fought for, the duty she upheld, all of it was in the name of something she felt was indeed the greater good.

She listened to Atë talk, soaked it all in and filed it carefully away. Every self doubt, ever ounce of confusion could be the key to winning the senshi over and bringing her to the dark light of their noble court.

Honestly, Navi expected it to be more of a challenge, but the way Atë was talking, it seemed the dark senshi really had only needed to lay the seeds and watch them grow.

There was no offense taken when that pretty face had jerked away from her, confident it hadn't been the touch of chaos, but her own self doubt. She did reach out to lay her hand on one stocking clad knee though, maintaining that air of comfort. Both for the sake of earning Atë's trust, and because she honestly wanted to make her feel better.

"I'm neither good, nor evil. I'm a soldier fighting for what I believe in, and holding onto my own morals, that which they are." There, a subtle admission that she wasn't quite as squeaky clean as she came off as. Still, she liked to think of herself as a little more righteous then her negaverse allies.

The smile returned as Atë asked about her queen. "Our Ares designs to rebuild our court, once the parallels, but now the dark mirror. We will grow in number, and we will return this planet to the humans, it's rightful owner.' Her thumb moved along the other girl's knee. Slow soothing circles. "Our queen seeks to regain that which Serenity has cut off from us."

"There is no clean cut line dividing good from evil, order and chaos. It's a muddied, blurred division, and nigh impossible to distinguish which side is truly good. Who knows, perhaps neither, or perhaps even both, though their methods certainly differ. Who's to say who is right though? Is the negaverse wrong for fighting to reclaim their home world? They can be barbaric, but are they unjusitfied?" Freckle kissed shoulders rose in a shrug, and it was clear by her expression she didn't have an answer that that question. She didn't need one though. "It doesn't matter though, I know what I'm fighting for, what my queen is fighting for."

There was definitely one thing the Dark Mirror had that the White Moon did not. Ares. Not just some name whispered in the dark, not some figure head hiding in the shadows and delivering orders. The senshi of the Dark Mirror knew their queen, talked to her, each and every one. She had even made an appearance at a holiday party for the whole of their court. "I will follow her through hell to see her vision made truth." The smile she wore was proud, peaceful. Loyalty, thy name is Navi.

Atë's question on what she should do made the dark senshi blink, soft gaze returning from the park to rest once again on that pretty face. She looked so vulnerable, but there was no easy answer. "Would you take me at my word, our relationship as it is now?" Ginger curls moved along her shoulders as she shook her head. "I would love nothing more to give you clarity, but any answer I give now would only ruin things in the future, not just that of my court, but yours." She reached up again, cradling Atë's cheeks as she leaned closer. "You won't believe me now, and I won't give you fuel to base a hasty decision on." Her thumbs stroked along soft skin.

Navi frowned. "I do want what's best for you." What little gap that remained between them was closed, and soft pink lips brushed delicately against berry red before offering a firmer kiss to her cheek. There was something about this girl, some quality to her temper, her personality, that just attracted the dark senshi. It wasn't exactly sexual, but there was some manner of spark there that made her seek to comfort her.

Surprises were one thing the dark senshi had in abundance. So long as Atë continued to share her company, she would have to get used to Navi doing unexpected things.

She was smiling when the other girl drew away from their chaste little kiss, and she chuckled at being referred to as tuts, a faint smirk twitching into view along pink lips. "Does that mean I could have gone for more?" Was she really flirting with Atë? Apparently the surprises applied to the pair of them, and not just the order aligned soldier. When the other girl moved to hug her, Navi leaned in and returned it, squeezing in what she hoped was a reassuring manner. "No one has all the answers, it would be arrogant to assume otherwise."

When they parted the second time Navi reached up to touch Atë's chin again just as she had moved to brush a curl from freckled features. "I'll be here," she assured her softly, letting her hand fall back to her own lap. "And I'll try not to sneak up on you anymore." She grinned at her own little joke, but she did mean it.

"You're welcome." Navi stood, smoothing her fuku down neatly before folding her arms across the exposed oval of her stomach. "I mean it you know," she offered after a second. "Everything I said, everything I offered." She really hoped Atë was coming to trust her, not just for her court, but because it also mattered to her on a personal level now. She was beginning to see the white senshi as more then just a mark, perhaps even as a friend.

"Be caureful," she urged as she turned, glancing over her shoulder once as she started walking before disappearing into the shadows of the park.
