There were many things that could be said about Super Sailor Tsui, Senshi of Tigers and a proud warrior of the White Moon Court, both things that were positive and, of course, a few negatives as well. Tsui was strong, she was capable of defending herself and capable of defending others when they obviously needed help. She was a strong, independent young warrior and she took much pride in her ability to hold her own in a fight, even when there seemed to be no possible way to defeat the enemy before her. She hardly ever backed down and when she did, she usually felt confident enough in her ability to escape, whether it be through traditional means (i.e. running) or the more sneaky or non-traditional methods as well (her greatest escape attempt, of course, was her decision to be brutally honest with the most powerful Negaverse officer she had ever had the great misfortune of meeting and that being enough for him to spare her). Yes, Super Sailor Tsui was as powerful and prideful as the beast of her sphere, and none could deny her bravery and strength.

Though, if there could be anything negative to be said about Tsui, the first (of many flaws) that others have pointed out to her was her uncanny desire to do her hunts alone, and this was ever so evident now as she had suited up and took the streets once again, despite her still healing injuries and her lack of a ‘dance’ partner to come along with her. Besides her pride and aggressive nature towards the Negaverse getting her into heaps of trouble, Tsui appeared to have had a little bit of a ‘team player’ problem, as she never really thought of herself as one, despite already being part of a team.

’Not that I’ve seen any of them besides Sailor Draconis, nor have they ever called me, Tsui thought to herself, moving along the rooftops on her patrol routes, keeping her golden eyes pinned on the streets below and her ears alert to any suspicious sounds. She relied more on her sixth sense that came with being a Senshi, however, to detect any Chaos aura, and while she felt a few, they were rather far away. Likely out of her territory, which wouldn’t have been a problem for her, had she not promised Pasiphae that she wouldn’t intentionally go looking for trouble (though, if trouble found her, then she would have no choice but to defend herself). Technically, she shouldn’t even be out of her apartment doing her patrols on her own, but evil did not rest, therefor neither could she! ’Then again, I never really called them...’

Tsui had remembered Camelot’s words well, how it was a two way street, and she paused from her patrol to stand on the parapet of the building that was across from the church. Despite her civilian disgust with the establishment, it was still a beautiful sight to see at night, and surprisingly rather calming to her. Though her senses were still on alert, Tsui’s mind wandered to her previous chat with the knight, as well as her talks with Kallichore and Pasiphae. They all had wanted her to be more of a team player, to reach out or in the very least seek help or guidance, as well as give it in return.

’But the tiger is a solitary hunter, isn’t it?’ Tsui thought bitterly, keeping her eyes pinned on the church and allowing the senses to drop. There were no youma here, no Negaverse agents or Dark Mirror Senshi that came to this area often anymore, perhaps due to her reputation, or perhaps something with the church kept them away. Either way, only now did Tsui allow her defenses to drop, and she took a seat on the edge of the rooftop, her legs dangling over the edge. ’Now, if I was the Senshi of Lions, then maybe I’d be more inclined to work in pairs, but this line of work is dangerous. I walk a rather dangerous path... and better alone, than to risk dragging others down with me.’

That was the reason why Tsui did her patrols alone as well. It wasn’t that she hated her fellow Senshi or the Knight allies, but she had plans, big plans, and she took more risks than most other members of the White Moon Court were willing to take. More dangerous to both herself, her allies, and even her enemies, and she didn’t want to call an ally to accompany her if they were only going to get in the way, or, get hurt. It was a bit of a dilemma for her; should she continue down her planned path, alone, or should she share with her allies and friends the dangers? It was not an easy decision, and one that she wasn’t prepared to make tonight.

“If none of the other members of the Zoo are willing to call me... then obviously they do not need me.” Tsui said aloud to herself, as she only had herself to talk to, to rely on, at this very moment. She had found more companionship with the Jovians, and she found herself to be growing rather envious of them. From what she had seen during the meetings and the ambush, they were a team, a true unite, that openly sought each other out and cared for one another. The Zoo could certainly learn a thing or two from them... would the Jovians allow for the Tiger to join their ranks? Should she abandon the Zoo? “Maybe I should be the one to gather the Zoo... at least check on them, see if this is a team worth salvaging. It can’t hurt to try, right?”

She wasn’t sure who she was asking, besides herself. If that was to be her plan, then she needed to get in contact with Pippin and Draconis, and that would be what she’d do. After her patrol was done for the night. She got back to her feet and got straight to it, turning her senses back on and sharpening her claws for the hunt. “For now, the tiger shall continue her hunts. Alone.”
