Her visit with Chaonis the other night made Castille feel much better about her Eternal attack. Granted, she still wanted to avoid it as much as possible, but now she wouldn't feel too terrible for using it. So the next night she was out again with a lighter step, black beads clacking together while the feathers on the ends remained silent. This time she chose to send a message to Polaris. Of all the people she knew, she was most excited to tell Polaris about her power up. Now the other girl wouldn't have to look after the senshi of feathers!
So she sat on a bench outside of the park grounds, a cone of lamplight offering comfort despite the chilly darkness. Within that light she was safe. Her fuku was keeping her warm enough, though the space between skirt hem and boots had an array of goosebumps across it. Come summer she figured she would be too warm, but for now she was one of the luckier ones.
The white wings that came with the upgrade were pretty, but uncomfortable. The girl switched up her seating arrangement, leaning forward with her elbows on her knees, head in hands. This made her back ache, but at least she wasn't leaning sideways or something to accommodate the dang things.

When Polaris got the phone call, and the familiar name appeared, she couldn't help but feel momentarily surprised. Not that the senshi of feathers had called her, no that was expected enough. It was more the fact that SHE hadn't hunted down the other senshi before now. It had clearly been on her mind, she'd wanted to congratulate Grus personally about how well she'd done during the gladiators battles and ask her what she'd thought of them. Not to mention checking on her like a good friend did. How had literal months passed since they'd last seen each other!?
A lot of stuff had happened.. discovering she was a princess. The stress of thanksgiving and Azzo's sudden change in lifestyle. Heck.. Azzo's sudden physical change to a cat. And then Christmas and the winter charity drive. She had a lot of excuses but in the end... they were excuses. As a friend she'd let Grus down, and it was about time she made up for it. Even if Grus' message hadn't seemed particularly upset.
It was easy enough to pick up the difference and surprise as Polaris drew closer to their meeting point, sensing not a super but an eternal senshi. As she drew nearer and confirmed by sight that the power was indeed coming for the senshi of feathers she couldn't help but make a feminine sound of delight. "Grus!!"
Quickly bracing the distance she was already trying to make out the other girl's new threads. "It's been quite awhile. Did you have a good holiday?"

Grus felt Polaris approach, rising to meet the other senshi in a warm hug. It HAD been a very long time since she had seen Polaris. Not since the gladiator battles, and so much had happened since then. She was glad to see her friend well and when she leaned away from the hug she said "I know! It's been way too long!"
As for her holiday... "My holidays were...interesting." She let the teaser hang in the air for a moment before saying "Most interesting is that I'm eternal now!" She spun on the spot, letting the white wings swirl around once before coming back to flat feet.
Her finger went to her lips and then to the other hand as she ticked off the various adventures she had since winter had started. "Lets see...I was beat up, and then turned into a cat. And then I almost died but became Eternal instead." Certainly Polaris would not be happy to hear that she was put in quite a bit of peril since they had last met. But each of those things had a good thing come of them, and she was going to be sure and let her know that they had all come out alright.

Grus' standing had assisted her in trying to view the feathery fuku, but the hug put a stop to that. Not that Polaris would have had it any other way. Giving a gentle squeeze, she stepped back as Grus did, admiring the feather senshi as she gave her improptu fashion spin.
It was a lovely new fuku, the eternal feathers meshed quite beautifully with the other feathers, comfortable and modest. And the clothing wasn't the only change. There was a soft aire of confidence and happiness that exude from the senshi and her words. Maybe it was just excitement, but Polaris hoped not, it was a very good look on her. "You look just lovely."
"Congratulations, I'm so proud of you! I should have known though with all that butt you kicked during my contest." She teased a little softly, nodding as she listed to the list of holiday excitement.
As if on cue, there was a momentarily concerned pout as Grus listed things, but Polaris tried her best to shove the worries away. After all things had turned out well. "My boyfriend became a cat too. And that other thing.. unfortunately seems to happen a little too often." It took her being on the brink of death.. or rather.. willing to die to protect others to unlock the powers within her.
"I guess we should be happy that things always seem to turn out alright in the end. It's like they say, good will always prevail."

Grus blushed slightly, pink creeping over her face and neck at the compliment. She was pleased. "Thank you!"
What Polaris felt was indeed an increase in confidence. Her battle with General Painite had shown that she could fight on her own, and do a damn good job of it too. She no longer felt like there needed to be someone at her side at all times in case things got sour. The settling feeling of experience also seemed to wrap around the new eternal senshi. She was high enough now power wise that other senshi were asking her questions. Being helpful was something she was definitely comfortable with.
"That contest definitely helped me out of a couple tight spots." she remarked, thinking back to the battles. It was true; some of the moves she witnessed came in handy when dealing with youma that had say, five arms.
She shivered. Never again.
"It was a bit bizarre being a cat." She said, scratching her arm. "I mean, when you are little you always think being able to turn into animals would be a cool power..." The feather senshi certainly didn't think that anymore.
"I think not having thumbs was the hardest part."
She nodded, agreeing with Polaris's comment. Taking the other senshi's hands, she asked "Other than your boyfriend turning into a cat, what has happened to you? Anything fun?"

Niflhel had been fairly uncomfortable as a cat and Polaris had therefore tried her best to avoid talking about it as much as possible. So she listened with soft interest at Grus' opinion of the whole thing, nodding with a bit of thoughtful whimsy. "I can imagine you'd have felt helpless. No thumbs, very small, and not many people to turn to. Probably not worth being cute and fluffy."
Her hands were scooped up in that friendly way, the question rattling in her head. She didn't know if 'fun' was what it was, but some stuff had definately happened since the last time she'd seen her friend, and she had to bite her tongue to keep from just letting it spill out immediately.
Gloved fingers squeezed Grus' own affectionately as Polaris leaned in a little, lowering her voice cryptically as if the two were about to share some secret. "Actually something pretty cool did happen. But before that I wanted to ask you about something else."
"I've really missed being in my old team, so I've been thinking a lot lately about trying to start up one of my own. Nothing hugely structured. Just friends that you can rely on when you need them."
"I've met others that seem dedicated to helping people. You know allies and civilians. I mean did you hear about all the stuff that we donated towards that Christmas fundraiser? I'm sure we could find a lot of people who would join. But.."
"Would you join me?" Teal eyes focused, silently begging the other girl just in case her words hadn't been inticing enough. "I'd really really love to have you with us. Me, and you, and Nysa. Celestial Shepherds. And I'm sure many more to come!"

Grus was the type of person who chose words that really didn't makes sense. She had used the word 'fun' in place of interesting, and sometimes it confused folks as to what she meant exactly.
"I gotta say I was an adorable cat." she said, grinning a silly smile. She too leaned forward, excitement bubbling up slowly somewhere near her stomach. A secret? Oh she did love secrets! Her excitement was increased with the vagueness of it all.
Her blue eyes blinked a couple times, hearing the word 'team'. Senshi had teams? Those same eyes widened. And Polaris wanted her to join!? She waited eagerly for Polaris to stop talking, not wanting to interrupt her. As soon as her mouth closed, Grus's opened with an enthusiastic "Of course!" She bounced in place, careful not to hit the other senshi's head with her own bobbing one.
Her own team!

There was a legitimate squeal at Grus' quick response, her hands giving a tight momentary squeeze. Why had she been so worried? She should have known better that the feather senshi would be so sweet.
"It's going to be so much fun!" She mused happily. Polaris was probably already imagining meetings with cookies and tea. The friendly chatter that she just didn't really get anywhere else.
"Okay, then. I guess it's time to show off my new wings." After a few matched and happy bounces, the senshi of magnetism released the new eternal's hands with about as playful a smile as she could manage.
She did not leave Grus in the dark for very long. With a quick flash of light and sparkles that usually denoted a henshining or dehenshining the eternal senshi dissapeared, leaving in her place someone who looked familiar, but also very different.
Grasping the fabric of her dress, she gave it a slight swish, flaring out her large wings to give Grus a better look. It was probably a lot more impressive then the uncertain "Tada" that Princess Polaris offered as she watched her friend for her reaction.

A team! A team! Grus was over the moon. Her excitement was mirrored in Polaris's face. She couldn't wait to get started!
What did teams do anyway?
Her head tilted. New wings? What.....?
Her question was quickly answered. There was a flash, and a massive wave of power. Her head pounded for a heartbeat or two before returning to normal, content with the warm power that enveloped it. The feather senshi blinked for a minute, colored spots appearing in her eyes. When she spots cleared, she was left standing in stunned silence, eyes as wide as saucers.
It was Polaris, but not Polaris. Instead of the fuku, there was a long gorgeous dress. And real wings! That moved! Not the plastic ones that were stuck to the back of her fuku like a cosplay outfit. Grus was floored. What had Polaris become!?
"Wha..? How? What...wings?" She finally let out a squeal "OHMYGOSHOHMYGOSH! What happened? You're beautiful!"
Somewhere nearby there was a dog or two that had gone deaf.

Grus' excitement was infectious, quickly shoving away any and all of those pesky 'uncertain' feelings Polaris might have had. The high pitched squeal drew forth an absolutely brilliant grin from the Princess of magnetism, giving her dress another little playful swish.
"Not long after the whole Gladiator thing, I well.... I became a princess I guess."
"I don't know exactly how to explain it but I needed the power and something somewhere.. my star I guess gave it to me."
It wasn't a great idea to stay in this form for long, not with the large and radiating aura she was giving off, but Polaris lingered in it just a little longer. "I meant to show you right away, but with the holidays and everything. I still can't believe how quickly time flies!"
An eternal and a princess. Things were looking up for the White moon senshi.

She practically danced over to grasp Polaris's hands, eyes shining. "Oh it's so okay! I am so glad you told me in the first place!" Her friend was a real live princess, like in the movies! The power that radiated off of the magnet senshi was like a blanket that covered Grus with comfort.
The part about her star confused the feather senshi for a moment. Did all senshi have the chance to become princesses or princes? She voiced this question to Polaris, eyeing her dress with a bit of envy. "Could I someday be a Princess?"
