Welcome to Gaia! ::

The park was a popular scene for members of the Dark Mirror Court. It was where most of the founding members had trained, where they'd done their first patrols and energy gathering. Where alliances and enemies were made. It was significant, and it wasn't unusual for those same founding members to return on occasion. Navi included, though in recent months she'd stopped paying quite so many visits. Ate had made her choice, and Navi hadn't seen or heard from the girl since.

The park was a reminder of that lose, and so she'd begun to avoid it.

But not tonight. Tonight she had made her way to the familiar paths and ponds, senses spread wide for any hint of an aura that was familiar, order or chaos.

One hit her radar, order, at a power level similar to what Ate had been on their last meeting. Hopes foolishly raising, Navi made her way towards it until she found the source leaning up against a tree looking at a phone.

She didn't bother with stealth, the other girl would feel her coming. Instead she kept to the path, hands loose at her sides, and tried to keep the disappointment off her features as she drew near enough to see long, brown curls. It might not have been Ate, but Navi wouldn't ignore a chance to make more allies, to plant more seeds of doubt.

"Good evening."

Navi smiled and gave her head a little shake. "If you're not offering violence, then neither am I." She could, and would, defend herself if need be, but Navi wasn't the bitter, vengeful thing that she'd been when she'd first been christened into the dark mirror court.

Pale eyes took in the senshi before her. The curls, the broach, the twined serpents that coiled around her calves and the band of her tiara. Not all spheres were an easy read. Her own, for example, wasn't obvious by her fuku, but the girl before her? She would have bet money on this being the senshi of snakes.

"We do." She chuckled, shoulders raising in a subtle rolled shrug. "At least the oldest among us do." The park was special. It was where they had trained, where they had patrolled when they were still terribly new. It was familiar. "I'm Sailor Navi, Dark Mirror Senshi of Tumbleweeds."

Navi hummed in amusement as Serpentarius gave her sphere, and flashed the other girl a grin. Dead on. "The pleasure is mine. It's always nice to meet those among the White Moon that would rather talk then attack." It made Navi's job so much easier. Especially when they not only willing, but eager to talk about the Dark Mirror Court. It was the curious ones they had the best chance of luring over. Those seeking answers, or unfulfilled by the less then idly run operations within their own messy court.

One slender hand rose and came to rest lightly on hr own cheek as her had tipped thoughtfully to one side. The picture of harmless patience.

"I wouldn't mind at all. Whatever questions you have I would be more then happy to answer for you." Hazel eyes ventured from lovely features to the dark path that wove around the park, and she gestured mildly. "Would you like to walk and talk?"

Ah, so this was one of the members of the Blood Moon Court she'd heard about. Leto had shared with her some of the ideals and goals of the team, and what it had been like to work for Ares before the birth of the Dark Mirror Court. If This girl was much like the Senshi of Camouflage, then she was fairly sure they'd get along alright.

She was quiet as her new acquaintance rambled on, in no hurry to interrupt her. If she wanted to talk about nonsense than that was fine with the dark senshi. Whatever helped Serpentarius feel safe, secure, open. Navi could even relate, being a college student herself, and she gave a small chuckle, nodding in agreement.

"I've been a part of the court since the battle in the surrounding. Ares found me there, and she saved my life, gave me purpose. Power." Her thin shoulders rose in half a shrug, and she offered the girl beside her a smile.

Her awakening had come with sacrifice. The same sort of sacrifice that any White Moon senshi would have to make if they decided to follow into the darkness within the mirror. In this, Navi was uniquely well informed.

"No, that battle had no winners. Only death and survival. I had been among the civilians that had been brought there by mistake. I would have died if not for Ares." Never mind that all those lost had somehow returned. Navi had never understood what happened, how those that had died had come back. It was a mystery, but one she had been thankful for.

She listened as the other girl explained her old team, her family, and she offered a nod to her question. "The court is my only family," she admitted easily. "I lost everything, and I was taken in, given a home. I gained a sister, a best friend. Everything I have I owe to the Dark Mirror Court." Another small shrug followed.

"Are you looking for a family?" A place to belong? All were welcome within the darkness of the mirror.
