Mintaka's patrols regulated themselves into following Youma and generally avoiding the Chaos orientated signatures. Since her meetings with both Chariklo and Zinkenite, she had been plagued with thoughts. Plagued with questions and finding no answers within herself.
She had yet to find a Senshi that could tell her what she really was about. Did they have a moon princess that seduced the Earth prince? Just to rule two kingdoms?
Or was it really a romance? Perhaps the Negaverse had a goal, it just had been wrapped around in fine clothing of anothers.
At one point it didn't matter how much thinking she did, since there was never an answer. And while she was internally debating, she felt the small chill of a Negaverse power nearby.
"Oh dear..." If she could feel it, then the negaverse would. It'd be better to see if she could talk her way out of it or...fight enough to escape.

Erythrite felt the White Moon aura, and a grin worked its way across the Lieutenant's face. She had discovered that she really, really liked beating the s**t out of Senshi - it was relaxing, in a way, and let her vent her nasty pent-up aggression on someone other than drunk handsy obnoxious dudes.
At least Senshi generally fought back.
She approached quickly, by rooftop, and dropped down near the girl. "How's your evening going so far, sweetheart?"
Kind words before a fist to the face.

Mintaka jumped as the Negaverse plopped right down across from her, looking around.
Politeness dictated that she offer words before escaping. She was no fighter after all.
"It was going quite well, except for patrolling." She laced her hands together. "Negaverse?" She looked over the girl's attire. "I do not believe you are one from the Dark Mirror Court."

Erythrite smiled a very unpleasant, unfriendly sort of smile. "Negaverse, yes, and unfortunately I've been having a pretty bad week and you're wearing white." She gestured at he girl's bodice with one of her fans, which she then quickly dismissed because they got in the way more than anything.
As soon as they were out of her hands, she swung her fist, aiming for the Senshi's face.

Well, this wasn't good. Mintaka didn't even get a chance to plead a case to the Negaverse girl, her fist swinging and connecting solidly with her cheek.
"Bloody..." She muttered as she stumbled back, pain exploded along her cheek in a nice blossom. "You just go right for it don't you?" Mintaka stiffened, "It's not very lady like to go bull headed in first." Mintaka brought her fist up again, ready to defend herself.
As she told Zinkenite, she would at least attempt some kind of words before throwing a punch herself. She wasn't here to hurt unless she had too.
"It seems a lot of you that I've met have a bad week." She sniffed, "But I would prefer that if you are going to take it out on me, to at least exchange names as properly as possibly."
"I am Mintaka, Senshi of Origami." With that, she dropped her body low and aimed a kick at the other girls, not to painful but to at least stop her from another blow to the face. "Do you know someone in your chaos faction named Zinkenite?"

Erythrite opened and closed her fist. What the hell was this? Why was this girl insisting on chitchat and introductions after punches had already been thrown? She took a step back, crossing her arms and growling quietly.
"Why does it matter to you whether I'm acting like a lady or not? Or what my name is?" She certainly didn't care to know who she was fighting right then, but alright, whatever, she'd play along a little.
"Erythrite. And yes, I know Zinkenite - by reputation at least. I'd be a pretty bad soldier if I didn't know my ultimate commanding officer."

"We are in the middle of war, only brutish warriors go bullheaded in first before getting information on their enemy." Mintaka stood back up, dusting herself off and giving the girl a peeved stare. "We are a more dignified species who act with calm, grace and cunning tactics." She blinked, "Well...It's just polite to exchange names."
She hadn't met others that didn't...not exchange names. It just seemed right improper.
"A pretty name." She nodded, relaxing a little. "Have you thought about talking to him more? he seems very....head on his shoulder type. Have you ever thought we'd gain more from talking then fighting?" She cocked her head. "Your more beneficial to me for learning about the Negaverse then beting them up..." She looked around, waiting to see if any senshi would come out and attempt to correct her thinking.
Die Fluegel der Freiheit Omg she's a terrible fighter. Terrible.

Erythrite shifted from foot to foot, nervous energy bubbling out of her. "Seriously? I punched you in the face, and you're worried about being polite?" She stared, shaking her head slowly. It was absolutely ridiculous, as far as Erythrite was concerned, but then a few months ago she probably would've contentedly chatted the Senshi up. But that had been before she scooped Serenity out from under a bridge, and before...well, before Persephone.
"I think, girlie, that someone very, very dear to me was one of you, and whatever goes on in your Court was so bad, she decided to turn tail and get Zink to stick his hand in her chest and make her one of us. And because of that, she doesn't remember who I am. So dearheart, I think that talking is great and all, but I'd really rather just punch in every Order face I see." Erythrite said sharply. "But sure, chat all you want, it might get you somewhere and it might not."

"Well, A lady has priorities." she sniffed, "Properness is one of them." Stupidly, but if she gave that up, then she gave up who she wanted to be in the future. She would not lower herself to a crude barbarian.
"I see." She laced her hands together. "It is a common theme among either Negaverse, Dark mirror court or Senshi to have ones they care about hurt." She studied the girl quietly, "It's easier to give yourself to something that promises better. I have nothing against the Chaos side, and in fact, quite enjoy your general king, as he's a true gentleman. but I do not know much about my side." She offered sadly, "It's rare to find a senshi long enough to teach you, much less talk to you."
It must hurt though, in Mintaka's mind, not to be remembered. "If the chaos has taken your friend, then why do you not blame them for what has happened?" She only wanted to understand, but her hands came up to defend herself in case the girl punched again.
"Well...if talking is not your thing, then come at me again." she wouldn't hurt Erythrite intentionally, but if the girl didn't want to talk, then she wouldn't stay around anymore.

Erythrite exhaled and crossed her arms, finally stilling her movements for a moment. This was more serious than she'd intended to get with a Senshi, but...well, maybe she could knock some sense into this girl's pretty little head, whether it was with her words or with her fists.
"I don't blame Chaos because...in the end, it was her choice, you know? She's the one that said 'hey, Order is so shitty I'm gonna abandon my entire life because I have to get out. And I've known her long enough to know that she wouldn't have done it unless things were really, really bad."
But given the invitation, she thrw another punch. "We can fight and talk, can't we?" She was tempted to slip in a taunt, but it wouldn't really accomplish anything.

"I see." Mintaka still the comments she really wanted to make...the questions she wanted to ask. If order was so bad, why would she leave a friend like this one? if Order was so bad, why would she give up everything she was and could be. Their side didn't have to dictate fighting.
She hoped they didn't.
The punch hit her forearm shield, sending small painful vibrations down, but the girl just moved back another step.
"Fight and talk, Talk and fight. Both of best worlds." She shook her head, "You cannot do one without losing the meaning of the other. You've got a vendetta, and I can't help you fulfill it." Mintaka dropped her hands, forming a small paper crane...and then more...."I'm sorry, but I'm not much of a fighter after all Erythrite. And I am taking a tactful retreat." The origami grew heavier, like a snowfall around the Negaverse girl. "Origami flurry*." She quietly stated, and once the girl was surrounded by the paper cranes and stars, made her way away from the battlefield. "If you decided that you value talking more then fighting, come find me." *Mintaka summons over 250 small paper cranes and paper stars that blind in a flurry, lasting less than 20 seconds but can be pretty annoying. It acts more as a defensive distraction, by blinding an opponent, Think of snow as it falls, it gets quiet and heavy and as it starts...it builds and builds until all you can see is paper cranes and stars. (Occasionally there is a paper cut or too but overall its meant to blind rather than hurt.) Her range though is max 10ft from herself and can be deflected by air currents, gust of wind and covering her eyes. It's also ineffective if the enemy is out of range or moves out of range.

Mintaka had warned her that she was the Senshi of Origami. She knew that much, and so she should've been prepared for that.
And yet somehow, a flurry of little birds and stars made of paper flying at her was enough of a surprise to send her several steps away and make her throw up her hands to protect herself, even if it wasn't really much of a frightening "assault." She let Mintaka flee, urge to chase her down or really to do her any real damage long gone.
When the torrent stopped, she brushed her arms off and sighed. "Maybe another day, sweetheart," she said, even though she knew the white-haired Senshi couldn't hear.
And then, it was off into the night, in the opposite direction.
