If Cyllene was being honest with herself, she'd admit that she really didn't know why she was even powering up anymore. Was it worth it, going out all the time and getting her a** kicked? To be completely misunderstood by her own faction?
This entire thing made absolutely no sense to her.
Her mind was running a mile a minute with questions that she was sure no one could possibly answer, when she felt the strong Chaos power signature near-by. ******** stopped, closed her eyes, took a deep breath, then opened her eyes and kept moving. If the power signature decided to interrupt her walk? Well... So be it. Cyllene just didn't have the energy to fight it anymore.

It was cold but his uniform was warm and yet he was still cold. The only thing that helped he found was what he had held in his hands, he wasn't aboutto set it down and let the heat leave his hands. A steaming cup of espresso was held tightly, and yet gently, between his hands which were just now lifting the contained to his lips. Sipping gently he let his eyes drift closed.
Someone was coming..someone weak but someone of the white moon. They weren't a worry though so he didn't open his eyes, didn't put his drink down, he didn't even really wake his mind up from the heat induced haze it had been drifting in and out of since he'd sat himself up on the roof top with his drink. The store below was some small boutique and was still open if the jangling of a bell below was anything to go by; if not than the voices drifting from down below him surely was something to go by. "I do wonder if they'll seek me out..." Musing in a whisper to himself.
"Mmmm...I have had bad luck recently, they keep coming for me. I suppose tonight won't be any different..." He whispered again.

It wasn't that Cyllene was seeking him out- she was just young, dumb and inexperienced. And apparently really bad at avoiding power signatures of Chaos agents that were much stronger than she was. She hopped from one roof to the next, deciding to make her walk a little more interesting. It still amazed her every single time that she powered up that she could do this with such ease! She picked up the pace now, her legs pushing her into a run as she moved across the buildings. That was when it slammed into her- both the power signature and the Negaverse agent that it belonged to. Or, to be more specific, that's when she slammed into him. And spill his hot espresso all over himself. Whoops! Bad luck indeed.

He had felt her coming; even lifted his head from where he'd been bent over letting the steam from his drink warm his face. It was just his luck that when she slammed into him that his drink didn't wind up on his face. Instead his lap and coat were wet by the hot drink. A yelp of surprise as he fell over backward and onto the boutique's rooftop.
What the hell?! Now senshi were attacking by just plowing into people? He'd have shouted something at her had he not been worried over the liquid on his clothing, it was cold out and wet spots on his clothing would make him cold. Standing up from the ground he turned his narrowed eyes on the senshi who had attacked him, whether they had planned to or not. The cup, now empty, was left on the ground when he'd stood up. He'd properly dispose of the cup later, right now he had a senshi to deal with.
"Good evening..." It was a senshi he'd seen before, along time ago, and was surprised to note that it appeared she hadn't advanced at all. "Have you been keeping out of the fighting?" He questioned a little more gently that the icy given greeting.

Cyllene stumbled backwards a few steps with the impact of her slamming into the other person. Her hands raised in front of her as she took a few more steps backwards. "I'm sorry! It was an accident!" She cringed, shut her eyes and waited, as if expecting him to take a swing at her. Instead, there were only words. Good evening? Really? She peaked one eye open to take a look at the Negaverse agent who.... Seemed awfully familiar? Her other eye opened and she squinted, peering at him. Was this really the same guy? Blue coat. Long hair. Andddd he was a General. While she remained a first stage Senshi. How embarassing. Nodding slowly, Cyllene was almost dumb-founded. "Yeah... I try, at least. Some of you guys aren't quite so tolerant."

"Yes, we are each as different as any other people are." Shrugging lightly as he watched the blond haired senshi. She hadn't changed a bit from what he could tell, surprising really. He'd have expected her to have progressed and become something stronger - a super senshi or eternal. But it appeared, so obviously, to be wrong.
"Why is it that you've been avoiding things? Not to say I'm displeased. It is one less enemy of the people, one less enemy to fight." And oneless person out there killing youma and fighting, injuring, those he personally knew as well as other fellow agents. It was all good in his opinion but he wished to know, to have an answer.
"Tell me, if you're not fighting then what are you doing? Avoiding this?" Motioning around them to indication what he meant.

It had been two years since she was awakened into this war, and in those two years she was probably the only Senshi in the world that hadn't upgraded yet. New Senshi were awakening every day and even they were getting to their second and third stages before she was. Something about that was incredibly discouraging. Then again, it seemed as if everything about being Order rather than Chaos was discouraging and frustrating. Cyllene scratched the back of her head while she pondered his question. "I just... I can't fight for something that I don't believe in or agree with. The side that I'm on, it doesn't make sense to me. We bicker constantly and really, what the ********. It's been two years and I'm still a lame first stage useless ********. It's frustrating and I don't want to fight people that keep getting stronger than me while I stay the same. I mostly just try to save youma, if I can. I mean, I get hurt doing it but... I try?" Youma were another story all-together. Cyllene was hellbent on figuring them out, damnit.

Ah! That had his attention like little else could. She was displeased with the side of order, that was the first step to turning someone to the other side. "Indeed. I would say that our side has some bickering, as all groups of people do, but we also do get along quite well. I know that I personally have one member living with me, as I will not allow him to go elsewhere." Never mind that Johnathan had been sent to him. He would have offered to take him in, he'd wanted to take the other agent in.
"Would you prefer to train with those who have gained rank, while you have not, as opposed to fighting them?" Asking if she would train with those on the side of chaos who had gained rank, while she had remained and stagnated. "If so, and if you are not against taking orders, I could assist you in a change. As it sounds very much like a change in sides is what you need." Was she the sort of handle orders, the ranking and more held to lines within the Negaverse. It sounded like the senshi were a mess of bickering people with magic and little structure.
Smiling as he thought of her helping the youma he felt a constricting in his gut before it released and he felt all...warm inside. "I see. That pleases me, although I wish you were not hurt for your good deeds. I'm sure they go unappreciated but I appreciate knowing you have stood up for the youma." Sincerity dripped from his words as he spoke. Moving to stand before the blond haired senshi of acid. "If you wish a change in sides I can help - I cannot bring you to our side. I will help you if you want it." Could he finally help in bringing someone over to the right side? He hoped so. He would like to help his side further, and to bring someone away from the wrong side in the war.

"In... A change?" What the sweet ******** was this guy talking about? "You can do that? Switch sides? How? I... I didn't know that was possible." Apparently Cyllene was the most sheltered Senshi in the history of ever. Suddenly, Cyllene's world was flipped upsidedown. She sort of just stared at Benitoite for a few silent seconds as she thought things over. "Tell me about switching. Will the youma still attack me? Maybe I can be more helpful...." It was like there was a lightswitch flipped inside her mind, and for the first time Cyllene had a little bit of hope and a little bit of clarity. Something that she needed to do, her own personal calling. Maybe she needed to make a change in order to achieve her goals.

"I don't know how. I haven't looked into just how it's done. But I do know it can be done. I've heard of it happening." It was something to look into further. He knew senshi and knights could change sides, just like agents of the Negaverse could. And he'd told himself he would convince that senshi of spiders to change sides. But this was a chance to actually help a senshi onto the right side! He knew trying to get those of order to change sides was something some of them did, something he'd tried before. So he knew it could happen...but the how he didn't know. He did suppose it happened in a similar manner to joining the war for the first time (for the Negaverse side).
"They won't be as aggressive as they are now. But with senshi, even those on our side, they aren't as friendly as they are with us agents of the Negaverse. I believe it's due to you still being a senshi. But you'll be able to see where they live and go down there, among other things." He spoke softly.
"You would certainly be helpful to our side. If you decide to change sides I could point you in a direction I think could assist you best." Thinking of Zinkenite, whom he only knew slightly but he did know the General King to be smart, he was likely to be able to help her and have any answers for her which he may not.

Sleet Tempest Snape We can probably wrap this in a post or two? Cyllene nodded slowly as she took in the information that Benitoite offered to her. A chance to see where youma live! The idea was absolutely incredible to her and it needed to happen. But what were the reprocussions? Benitoite obviously knew that it was something that was possible, but evidently there was more to it. Cyllene needed more information before making that decision. "I... I need to think about it. And get more information, I think. Is there someone higher up that I can talk to about this? Whoever it is that actually does the side-switching shenanigans? If you give me a name, I'll seek them out, or ask other agents some questions too." She poked her index fingers together as she watched him nervously. She couldn't believe that this was something that she was considering.

"Of course. A choice this big is something you should think on. I wouldn't force it on you - it would be bad for all of us." Never once would he consider forcing someone to his side, he would manipulate them into changing sides though, as they would be useless if forced into changing sides and that helped no one. But she seemed so close to it, and mostly on her own. He didn't even need to manipulate her.
"The person who I think you should talk to is General King Zinkenite. He's likely to know all about it and be able to help you change sides should you wish to. If you need a place to stay - ever - I can offer a couch to you or help you find a place to stay." If his home were full he would help her in finding somewhere to stay. "If you find him, or he finds you, ask him whatever questions you have and he should help you. He answered all mine when I first joined." Smiling at her he tilted his head a bit.
"I hope to see you again soon. But I believe I should let you continue on with your night. I think I've left you with much to think about." And with decisions to make, as well as people to seek out.I think you can close this if you'd like. I hope this helped you. ^__^

"Thank you," she said with a sincere smile. Zinkenite, she'd have to remember that name. "Tell him Cyllene, Senshi of Acid is seeking him out, okay? Maybe he'll find me before I find him," she laughed.
"I think this meeting was a lot better and smoother than the first time we met!" She began to take a few steps away fro him. "I'll give this a lot of thought. Goodnight! Oh, and congrats on the whole getting-to-General thing!"
She quickly waved before hopping onto the fire escape and making her way through the shadows until she was far enough from their meeting place that she could power down to avoid any other interactions for the night.
She had a lot to think about.
