Tian covered her mouth as she let out a yawn. There was still a few hours before morning, but she needed to get home, both to sleep and to make sure her dog didn't flip out to why she wasn't home. "There's only so long Cotton is willing to be alone before she gives in to barking like crazy." She giggled just a little.
Every night after her patrols, Tian would always try to find another way home. She didn't want to put herself or others that she knew in jeopardy. It took her longer than she wanted to get home, but it didn't really matter to her. It also gave her a little bit more of a patrol time.
It didn't take long before she sensed someone Chaos aligned nearby. The feeling was strong, so whomever was there was definitely stronger than her. Tian was scared, but she'd rather get attacked than let someone else be suffering. Carefully and quietly, she made her way to where the energy was being emitted, hoping that she might be able to sneak up on them.

He'd stayed out longer than he'd been planning to, he'd had a run in with one of the youma that was busy and ignoring an incoming senshi. After ordering the youma off, which it had complied with, he'd left as well as he really didn't want to deal with any senshi right now. Whoever it was though had followed him for a while, not close enough to likely see him, but it still felt like running away. He was really just hoping to call it a night, it was why he'd teleported out of the area. He'd been hoping to teleport close to home, hide and power down in some alley, and walk the rest of the short distance home and curl up in bed for a few hours sleep.
It seemed his night was about to get longer for as soon as he'd appeared in the new location, only blocks from home, he felt it. Someone white moon aligned and close and worse yet they were getting closer. Joy, this wasn't what he wanted. For a moment he considered running and seeing if they could keep up, or just powering down and risking them seeing him, but both thoughts were banished quickly as both were risks he wasn't willing to take (them seeing where he lived or them seeing him power down).
"Well, they are weak. Hopefully this'll end fast, whatever this is going to become." And he stood in the alley way bracing himself for some attack, from above, behind, or in front, he didn't know but he was ready as he stood his ground.

(( Randomizing before posting... (1) attack lands on Tian, (2) attack lands on Benitoite ))
Unsure of what to do and if the Chaos member was causing problems, Tian saw the person and concentrated on watching him. He was definitely a more than worth opponent, and she was really hoping that her along with her attack would do some damage to him. "If I had my rapier I could probably do more damage... But I don't."
Tian stifled a sigh as she called out for her attack. "TianGuan, Mask Mixup!" She closed her eyes as her tiara glowed a bright white. It was without a doubt the Chaos member would notice her now, but hopefully, the mask would help. The energy mask lifted itself into the air and it spun until it decided whom to land on.
She was happy that the mask chose her opponent. "This distraction will help so much... Hopefully seeing three of me gives me some sort of an advantage!" Once the mask landed on the Chaos member, she made a quick dive, aiming to kick the person's leg. Male or female, it would weaken them at least a little bit more.

He really wasn't surprised with being attacked, when he was doing nothing but standing and waiting (although he did look like he was ready for a fight), he wasn't however aware of what this attack was or where it came from and with nothing in the alley to get behind he was struck. Caught by surprise he stumbled back, away from what had come at him but found that when he looked up and found the senshi he found...three and they were all the same. No no, it wasn't three senshi who all looked the same, it was impossible, he was under the effects of their attack.
Taken so by surprise, and taking the time to decide which one must be real and thus which to attack, he found himself landing on the ground with one leg kicked rather harshly. Maybe they hadn't intended to knock him to the ground, though considering they'd just attacked him without provocation, he didn't care though.
As he climbed to his feet he summoned his weapon into his hands, it looked like tonight was going to end with a fight. Gripping his weapon tighter he headed right for one of the three, picking the one all the way on the left and lashed out with the spear like weapon.

Tian had been glad that her magic attack had landed on the stranger. She was even happier when her physical attack landed and caused the guy to land on the floor. Her excitement was short-lived when the guy summed a weapon to his hand. It was the first time Tian had seen something like that and gasped.
She stood in a stance that was ready to strike again, but Tian couldn't help but ask the figure. "Who, and... What are you?" Tian knew that he wasn't another Senshi like her (Order or Chaos), nor was he a page like Sutai... But then what was he?
There was only one thing that she could barely remember that might make sense. That one time she was attacked and Remarque had saved her... That man. Her memory was fuzzy because Tian had been really tired that night. Tonight however, Tian had to pay attention. The weapon could do a lot of damage to her.

Watching as it seemed his weapon went through the senshi he would have been happy had it not been for the senshi vanishing. Ah, so that's what this magic was! He was seeing more of the senshi than there was and they were just images which he could cut down. Well, that made things interesting but also rather simple. At least it wasn't solid and able to attack him back, as far as he could gather.
He could understand her not knowing who he was, that didn't take him by surprise, but this senshi didn't even know what he was? He'd seen some senshi, and knights, who seemed clueless; those cats were really slacking off. But to not know what he was...those cats really were slipping in whatever duties they had for the order side of things.
Another swing of his weapon was taken toward one of the two remaining senshi, he'd know which one was her in a moment. The attack would either let him go from it's hold or the last image of the senshi would vanish, or he'd get the right one. "You shouldn't go attacking those whom you know nothing about - it can be detrimental to your health. Foolish."

Tian watched as the man's weapon went straight towards her, flying by her side. "Well, one down, one to go..." Her advantage wasn't much of one and she knew that. But at least there was one more that he could hit before hitting her. "Yay for 50/50 chance...? Ahaha."
She didn't fancy being talked down upon, but she accepted it; Tian was new at this and still meeting a lot of people, both Chaos and Order aligned. There seemed to be more groups than she had first imagined though. When she first came back from the Surrounding, all she thought was that existed was a 'good' and 'bad'. But Tian would rather get herself into trouble than letting him to do worse on someone that was defenseless.
"I'd rather put myself into danger than let you attack someone else that is defenseless," Tian said resolutely. It made her feel better since, even if she got her, Tian had experience tending to the wounded and would tend to herself if needed. "I can take care of myself, thank you very much."
Before he managed to hit another freebie illusion, Tian made another go for him, hoping to duck the charging spear and then hit the man as he was without his weapon. Even if it came to him magically, it would give her some time to at least kick him in the chest. "Well, let's hope all the dodging in fencing comes in handy..."
Tian managed to dodge the first swing of the spear and went to aim a kick, but she was unsure of if it would land or not...

Laughing he shook his head, even as he covered up his laughter. "How assuming you are! I wasn't going after anyone, in fact I had just finished my evening when you decided to come along!" Smiling as he lowered his hand, his laughter having subsided. This fight wasn't needed, didn't need to be taking place, if she hadn't come after him. But she had and she had simply attacked and so she was going to learn not to cross swords with just anyone.
"I don't think you can handle yourself, not in this case. You've gone and gotten yourself in deep. I've killed senshi at your level. I've no qualms in doing so again." He stated, hoping the message would sink in - she was in trouble. He really wanted to see this naive senshi realize the hole she'd dug herself into, and that it could always wind up being her grave. Someone this stupid should not be out fighting. "You should turn around and go home." He added though he doubted the advice would be taken, senshi didn't tend to listen to such words nor did knights.
This time when the kick came at him he jumped back, putting some distance between himself and the senshi, when he landed he took a moment for himself before he launched himself at her, weapon coming down in a sweeping arch toward her.
"To answer your question, since I feel like you should be aware of just what you've decided to prod into a fight tonight, I am a Negaverse officer - a General. Benitoite."

Tian rolled her eyes before she realized it. There was a slight anger that was building inside of her that she didn't want to lose control of. She hated how the man talked to her like she didn't know she was getting herself into more trouble. "How do you know you were not going to go after someone on the way home, huh?"
She wanted to beat him down so bad. Her chances were next to none, but beating one of them to a pulp meant that they were less likely to follow anyone even after they parted. Even if she was beat to a pulp, at least Tian would know that she tried to defend herself and others.
"You talk like you wouldn't attack someone if you felt like the night was over, but I personally don't think you would." She knew she shouldn't judge, but it wasn't her fault that the man was judging her. "I dislike how you talk to me like I don't know what I'm getting myself into. It's not like I can't feel your energy signature like you can feel mine. I am TianGuan. As you've experienced, my powers revolve around masks."
Tian was glad that his weapon was a spear when she saw him attack her; she was more used to moving around something like that more than if it was something like a whip. She managed to get away from it for the most part, but the head of it cut her on the upper arm. "s**t. At least this isn't deep..." She managed to kick the spear after the cut, hoping that it would knock it out of his hands.
"Ugh... How disgusting. I would never think of killing someone... Just... Give others time to get to safety." It bugged Tian that someone that would be considered a human could kill so easily. Then again, there was those murders in prison. "If only prison bars could hold these 'Negaverse officers'..."

"Why would I go after someone when my plans were not to do so? I wouldn't deviate from my plans. It's a choice to go and take energy or not and I'd decided I wouldn't. You make it seem like a vampire from some movie, not knowing how safe they are where their hunger controls them. I assure you it's a matter of choice and I'd had all intentions of going home to rest." She honestly made it sound like he had no control over his actions and who or when he grabbed energy - it was insulting! Not to mention absolutely ridiculous and stupid.
"You think this and y ou think that. You aren't me so I'd suggest not assuming you know my thoughts nor how I operate. It's not polite at all - in fact it's quite rude to make assumptions about others." Raising a brow as he spoke, his head lifting and his nose going into the air. His eyes then drifted down to a narrowed sort of lazy appearance as he looked at her, rather funny considering he stood at only three inches over five foot. But the message was clear - he was better than the senshi he spoke to and clearly disliked her.
"You clearly don't know. You sense my power and yet you ask who and what I am. So you may know my energy signature and it's power but as for the rest of knowing me you fail there. So really I was correct in speaking to you as such - since you don't know. It's rather stupid to cross swords with what you don't know." Not like he hadn't done it himself but at least he'd always known when eh was going after a senshi that it was a senshi, or that the signature he was going for was a knights. He'd never gone after one and not known which faction it belonged to. So while he may not know just which senshi he did have a guess, in the beginning and when dealing with that royal, at the power level and he certainly knew the faction, aside from the first knight he'd crossed paths with. He didn't go seeking out more powerful signatures to an unknown faction. He would accept that he might die but he wouldn't go looking for it to dance, unlike this senshi had done.
His hold on his weapon broken as it went flying, clattering to the ground, he didn't go to retrieve it instead he went right for the senshi and aimed a gloved first for her face. He might have a weapon but he could also fight with his hands and feet, he'd had to learn and was still learning. It wasn't anything he took lessons for, unless fighting senshi and knights counted as lessons as well as training sessions with other agents of chaos. But he knew he could hold his own and this was a simple senshi, he could handle her just fine.
"I see, so the senshi of masks. An interesting power." And since it was down to just her he didn't have to worry about her power for now. She was down to hand to hand.

There's only so much she wanted to listen to him. Tian knew that she judged him because that's what the stereotype was. Just there were people that proved the stereotype wrong, it doesn't mean that it doesn't hold true for people. She didn't know if the officer just didn't understand that or just thought so highly of himself that he didn't want to. Either way, it was annoying.
Tian also didn't want to argue. "You're pretty much judging as much as I did. And I know we're not going to agree on our views, so I don't understand why you're going on so much about it." How highly could a person think about himself? "I can openly admit to myself, but he can't? Sheesh..."
"So you want me just to classify you as 'Chaos' and not a 'Negaverse officer?" Tian wanted to understand the different parts of Chaos and Order since she knew that it was not as black and white as he was making it appear to be. It was a slow and learning process, but she'd do it her way and he could keep to his. Not like Tian wanted to be taught by someone that killed others. "I'd rather cross swords with what I don't know at least once so I'm not going to lose to them later. I'd rather learn and fight than sit there and be picked on."
Tian was glad she managed to kick the spear out of his hand, but was too late for the punch. She was lucky it missed her face, where she would not be able to hide her wounds, but on the same place that the cut was. The pain was unbearable as she flew back just slightly. She sat there with pain in her face and her good arm keeping her sitting up.
"Just because I'm new at this doesn't mean I don't know what I'm getting myself into." Tian wanted to charge again, but her arm hurt more and would need to nurse it soon if she wanted it to heal quickly. "I know I can be reckless but I will keep going. I might get hurt, but fighting the more powerful and losing will be better than winning against the weak."

"I am of course judging you but not based on you being a senshi, that would be the difference between you and I. You have passed judgement on me based on what side in this war I'm on. I've based my judgement on your lack of knowledge and apparent newness which is based on your lack of knowledge and questions. Far more reliable than going by the simple fact that I'm a Negaverse officer thus I must be up to no good, despite what I've previously said." He stated while leveling a glare at the blond haired senshi. "I make a deal out of it because you are passing judgement based on my side, and not me. It's rather insulting and offensive." And by the way he spoke he was offended by the fact she thought him simply up to no good due to his side, due to being a Negaverse officer.
"You can classify me however you wish, Chaos, Negaverse officer, General. It's all the same side in this war." Just a matter of factions as far as he was concerned. And the corrupt senshi, negaverse officers and dark mirror senshi all worked together for the chaos side of things. "Those who serve chaos work together - Dark mirror senshi, corrupted senshi, and the Negaverse's officers." He was glad for that, it added to their numbers, they worked well together and as civilians he'd come away with some friends. So it was all good in his opinion. Whatever bad blood, and he knew there was some, that had been in the past wasn't a concern to him. He didn't know it, hadn't lived through it, and so it didn't dictate things for him such as his alliance and opinion on those members who'd been involved. Plus when he'd met Leto, all those months ago, she had not seemed proud of those past indiscretions and had even worried over whether he'd hold it against her in some way.
Looking down at her he shook his head making a tsking noise. "To do that may just get you killed one day and I'm afraid that your not like a cat - in possession of nine lives. Crossing swords with the wrong person might just end in your death." By himself, tonight, or someone else at a later point in time. He knew he'd done stupid things, crossed swords he shouldn't have and let his curiosity get ahead of him. But he'd learned, for the most part anyway, and he wasn't quite so rash anymore.
Looking down at her as he approached, slowly, he kept his pace casual with his arms crossing loosely over his chest. "Really...now? Are you sure of this?" He questioned mockingly while reaching out with one hand and calling his weapon to himself. Grasping it in one gloved hand he pointed it at her. "You should leave...this is a one time offer. I'd rather turn in for the night but I will finish this if you don't take my offer." He really did want some sleep, he needed it. He wouldn't normally do such a thing but he needed some sleep!

Tian just sat on the ground listening to Benitoite. She understood what he said, but she never said she wasn't new. It still irritated her since he seemed to be judging on the fact that he felt she didn't accept that. Everything for her right now was a learning experience, and if she got hurt while doing it... Well, then she'd just have to improve! She chose to say nothing, because she knew how she felt, and he clearly knew how he felt.
"He was the one that said he killed Senshi... Even if it wasn't tonight... He still said he did it!" They wanted to put an end to people like her, and she was supposed to do the same. Tian knew she had yet to really kill someone, but eventually she'd have to. For the sake of others she'd do it, not for herself.
She didn't really know if she should point it out, but what she was hearing was, well, flippant. "You don't want me judging you personally because of what side you are on, yet you say I can classify you however I wish in the war. Which is it that you want? Even if I learned about you as a person, you've still killed others like me. Why wouldn't I judge you negatively?"
"I will not get myself killed," Tian said resolutely. "A loss is a loss, but I will learn and I will grow." She stood up and turned around, not looking at him. "I thank you for your... pity, but I promise that I'll be better next time."
Tian paused before she started to walk away. "You defended yourself a lot, but I personally feel like your ideas conflicted. I don't know you, and I'd rather not, but if you'd rather not be judge negatively because of what side you're on, then it's not all just black and white in this war, is it?"
She didn't wait for a response from him. There was nothing more to be said because it would most likely be the same things coming from the both of them.
Plus, she had to tend to her wound before it got infected.Sleet Tempest Snape (( I think this might be her last post XD ))

"I mean you can classify me by me, not by my side. You can classify me by rank or that I'm on the opposte side, or say I'm a Negaverse agent. Two different things." Sort of. For a moment he did consider banging his head on something. How best to explain something so simply, at least it was simple to him. Judging him, and what to make of him, was based (or should be) on personality. She didn't need to know his rank, or which faction he was on, she should only need to know he was on the opposite side as her. It was two different things in his opinion. He didn't go further into things since it seemed she would be leaving, smart senshi - finally.
"No, this war isn't black and white." He admitted, not that it was hard for him to say it. It was an easy thing to say, something he'd known for a while. Though it was hard for him to act on it when it came to senshi - he really didn't like them and knights. "I would say this could be said for any and all wars." He spoke gently with a lazily made shrug.
"You should get on your way and next time watch who you attack." Next time she shouldn't just jump a General - it wasn't smart. (Yeah I think we can call this done. And Beni got caught up in trying to explain himself. lol.)
