Yue sat along the wall, in his fluffy pouting feline form. He had a human form as well, he just couldn't seem to get the hang of it yet. As indicated by his pouting features. He rubbed his paws experimentally together without success. Disgusted by the ineffective and useless action, he turned his head, ignoring his previous action. There was too much city distance to cover and too little feline body mass for it. With a wary look at the city lights, he dusted his paws in preparation for a long walk.
With a very disadvantaged start, he began his journey to look for the one person who could give him answers. The only piece of memory he had within his recently awoken blank mind was a blond child, whose face he remembered very well. Unfortunately, there was little else to go on. Being a cautious soul, even with the probability nine lives, he feared inquiring would lead to vague and undesirable results.
He had seen several blond females but he hadn't felt anything. Surely, there would be some sign in this foreign world.. or so, Yue hoped, with a pout.

It was that time again.
And by that, Eve Summers meant that two weeks had passed since her last visit to Flora, her homeworld that lay in the depths of space. In the past year or so, she had decided it was high time she spruced up the place, even as it was pretty abandoned, and started with the Temple of Flora.
The thing was, there were overgrown weeds everywhere, and it had taken forever to locate and pull them all up by the roots. But little by little, she had managed to clear out the place, and it was time to start planting.
She had absolutely no idea if flower seeds from earth would even bloom in space dirt. Or perhaps she should bring some earth dirt, she thought, and decided to try both; bags of flower seeds and a potted jar containing some dirt, along with some fertilizer were in the bag she held tightly in her hands. Work was over for today, and she intended to rush home, so she could henshin up and head straight into space.
She didn't even notice the white cat with the star upon its forehead.

"Ahem." The white cat coughed to get Eve's attention. But apparently she didn't notice anything. Running along the wall a little, he cleared up his throat a bit more. He wasn't sure why, he just felt this inexplicable need to run after this girl.
"A-hem!"
He leapt to the side of Eve, still on the wall with an unnatural agility and precision.
"Would you please wait just a moment?"
He jumped the short distance down to quickly gather at Eve's feet. He gave her a quick stare, assessing her in a brief moment. There was an earthy scent of .. dirt? Not only that, there was a floral scent emitted from the bag.. and the girl herself. It was a different floral scent though, unlike the putrid human scent. An almost nostalgic scent... He quirked his head, the words on the tip of his tongue yet they wouldn't come. His lack of finesse drew from that frustrating blankness and Yue was never not without a sense of poise and finesse.
"I would like to make your acquaintance."

Her mind had been so set on getting back home as fast as possible that she had not even paid attention to someone clearing their throat near her. It wasn't as though she was walking too slow and hindering the path of someone behind her, so she assumed that it was probably directed at someone else.
But apparently not. A cat had leapt off the wall and landed near her feet, and Eve let out a surprised squeak, blue eyes registering the star upon its forehead.
Oh s**t.
What did a guardian cat even want with her? "Um," was the only word that spilled out of her lips in response, as she stared down at him in confusion. She certainly had never seen him before, but it really wouldn't do to be seen talking in broad daylight, or rather, twilight. Still, he evidently needed her, or rather, Sailor Flora, for something.
But she certainly was not going to henshin up in a public place and risk her identity.
"Follow me." She said quietly and began to lead him in the direction of the apartment she and area shared. It didn't take long for her to reach home, and Eve fumbled about in her handbag for a minute before finally producing a set of keys held together by a cheery pink pastel key ring. The house was quiet; Rea was probably out, and Eve made sure there was no one in the hallway before closing the door behind them.
"Alright." Eve breathed. "So um... What can I help you with?" The only thing that came to mind that was of any importance was that she was a pretty accessible point of contact with the Zodiac Court. Was that it then?

Yue stared at everything on the way with a casual curiosity, trying to decipher this sense of nostalgia. He was strangely comforted by it, staring at the blond female's thin back. Walking behind her, he let himself fall into her pace. He flicked his tail idly as the female checked her surroundings, sliding in easily as the door closed behind him.
"Well, Fleur, this would be the first time when you could help me."
He flicked his tail idly once again, pausing as he registered what he just said. It came out so naturally, he was barely aware of it.
"It is Fleur, right?"

W-what?!
Though her memories of the past were meager and vague, she had managed to recall some snippets from her visits to her homeworld. One thing in particular had been the Vernalis (definitely a figure of authority, and someone who took disciplining the handmaiden seriously) calling her by the name, 'Fleur'. Coupled with the fleur-de-lis symbol on the door to what was once her room, she supposed it made sense.
But how would he know that? Perhaps the only other people were Chronos, Zue, and the rest of the Zodiac Court if it was something they managed to remember. And Zephyr too. "It's Eve Summers." She clarified, setting her bags down on the floor. "Or Sailor Flora, Senshi of Spring, really. But you probably figured it out with your cat sense or something, right?"
"...How do you know Fleur?"

"Eve summers.." He repeated after her but the words were foreign on his tongue. He didn't prefer this one but if she insisted.. But he would insist as well. Lifting his ribbon sash in an effort to gather himself and look noble, he perched delicately on the ground. He looked upwards the symbol, a wave of nostalgia washing over his composure. His blue eyes were piercing, as if trying to look at something farther than what was here now.
"Well, Fleur, senshi of spring, I have this distinct but unjustified feeling that you may be the key to my memories."
His pendant had an odd shine, as if reacting to Fleur and his own words.
".. As for our acquaintance, that currently remains a mystery. But for formal introduction's sake, I am Yue."
The statement came with hopeful eyes, as if Fleur could fill in the blanks.

"Sailor Flora," Eve corrected him with a sigh. And her being the key to his memories? It was quite impossible, was it not, considering the time she spent on the Surrounding and that if she had been under any guardian cat's jurisdiction, it was obviously that of the Zodiac cat, Zue. "Yue huh? I... don't think I've heard of that name before." Or at least it didn't seem to ring any bells, even if he was staring at her with a pleading gaze.
With a sigh, she pulled out her henshin pen. "Maybe if you knew Fleur; even if I don't quite know how, you need to visit a place." Maybe it would make him realize that whoever he was looking for was not her. Perhaps some other senshi that had came by Flora during their visits or something. After all, she did know how incomplete... and frustrating too, memories of the past could be."Will you come with me?"

"Well, I am not adverse to coming with you." Yue said plainly, unsurprised at her lack of information. if he has nothing, he surely couldn't expect others to have anything. It seems like it would be a journey to find crumbs, as dissatisfactory as that was. Blinking once, he took a glance to assess the situation. Of course, it seemed like they were in no immediate danger and a short trip wouldn't hurt.
He circled around her legs, his sash trailing after him with a deep indigo blue. Even if this Flora did not feel it, Yue felt a strange comfort in her company. Her company was the only nostalgic feeling he had in this strange world, that was still completely new to him. Perhaps it would be accurate to phrase her as the only certainty in the midst of uncertainties, even if she was uncertain herself.
"What is this aversion you seem to have for the name, Fleur?"

It wasn't as if Eve didn't like cats. Or even guardian cats in particular.
She got along well enough with Chloe, and she supposed Zue would count, in a sense. Yet, she felt slightly awkward around this cat, even as she gripped her henshin pen and uttered the magic phrase.
With a swirl of magic flower petals, Sailor Flora now stood in her full eternal senshi glory, managing to catch Yue's question about the title he seemed fond of using to refer to her. "It is a name of the past." She said, stooping down to scoop him into her arms.
As usual, all she had to do was to press the button on her cellphone and close her eyes and concentrate, reaching out to her homeworld in the dark depths of space.
When she opened her eyes again, they were standing right in front of the Temple of Flora, a large building of white marble that greatly resembled of Ancient Roman Temples of the Earth. "Welcome to Flora."
