Failyn was feeling all antsy and cooped in the house. She loved working on it, loved being in it with Magiore, and talking to all the residents. But she wanted to walk, and was sorely missing the freedom that Mintaka had here. She wasn't a super powered hero, and was trying for modesty, but some days, she really missed powering up and just...flying.
She managed to harass Magiore into powering up though for a patrol walk of their own. Her as a civilian, him as his negaverse form. She had warned all the residents the chaos aura that would be felt was her dearly beloved husband and with that, took Aurostibites hand out into the woods.
"You know, you keep acting as if a walk through the woods would be particularly dangerous for us." She smiled over at Auro, "But there hasn't been much action now that we're both out here. I like to think of this as a romantic date in the woods." She jumped though as she heard animals scurrying around, "Cheeze its. It was just a rabbit. Should be more relaxed." Maybe she was trying to comfort herself here.

He was still adjusting.
It was taking some time; his apartment now abandoned, left exactly the way it had been as though he'd just taken a step out (there had been little point in packing things up entirely, and he wasn't particularly materialistic). Most of his belongings still remained in the deserted loft, though Magiore had brought his brazing materials and his books, as well as several different flavors of tea that he'd stuck in baggies at the bottom of his duffle. The duffle in question was currently stowed in one of the upper bedrooms, at the foot of a bed he shared with Failyn, his brazing supplies stuffed into a closet.
Sometimes, when he woke up, he forgot where he was, caught in the space between dreaming and wakefulness, stuck in the mires of yet another nightmare in which blood tainted his mind. Failyn's soft and gentle voice soothed him back to sleep most nights, but there were times when he tried very hard not to wake her.
He couldn't help but wonder what the Negaverse would do to him should they find out what had happened. He was not exactly a traitor; he was still loyal to the Negaverse, still believed in their goals and ideals, but his life with Failyn and the life within her was much more important. And he found he quite liked being able to spend all of his time in a place so clearly meant to be neutral, a place where he could be with his wife without recompense or secrecy.
Still, the nagging, awful apprehension and lingering fear refused to leave him, but Magiore pushed all of those away, tamped down on the emotions so that he could focus on other things instead.
Now, as they walked through the woods - Magiore not as himself, but as Aurostibite, gloved fingers laced through Failyn's (it still pained him to see just how powerless she was without Mintaka, but the reason for that sent happy thrills through his stomach, making his emotions a terrible roller coaster ride), he found he was almost relaxed.
Almost.
"Force of habit," he replied, giving Failyn's hand a squeeze. A branch brushed at the brim of his hat, and Aurostibite's eyes cut sideways briefly before they returned to his wife's. "I have been automatically trained to be a hound when it comes to being cautious," he said, with some apology in his voice. He squeezed her hand again.
"We will be all right. I will protect you...the both of you."

Getting out of the main parts of the city had been easy enough, he knew how to deal with such matters. No one really looked twice at him as Sheldon Hobbes; he still looked largely unkept even in a suit but for the most part he looked ordinary and harmless which really was the advantage.
Further out from the city was the challenge, especially when he wanted to make up some of that lost time with his strolling. Which meant powering up and making himself a target. Kailash didn't like make himself a target, especially when he was still simply a Squire. (This was at least a little less annoying to do than it was five years ago, he had grown into his roll. Kind of.)
It wasn't like his delivery or destination were time sensitive. But he still was, what with work in the morning and there was a curfew (and he didn't want to get into any fights!)
For the most part, everything seemed to be in the clear while he made it through the woods - a place he rarely went through for reasons but was finding rather nice at the moment. But no, of course that didn't last and Kailash was once again returning to hating the woods when he felt a presence bordering on the edge of his senses. The knight cursed under his breath and attempted to veer another way.kuroopu wow, look at this super late lame tag! nyxtsuki moon like, its so late..... urg, I'm sorry

"Yes Yes, not just the negaverse but our little hidden meetings." She laughed, "We've been long paranoid, I suppose it's hard to break that behavior. Please don't apologize." She squeezed his hand in return, "We thank you for your brilliant protection, as we can no longer it do yourself." She swung their hands together a little.
"If for some reason, we were to live happily ever after Aurostibite, would you want to stay in the house? In safe Haven?" She thought of Jett's words, "With just our family? Do you want that?" She was curious because she had never really asked him. His opinion and heart mattered the most to her, and she realized that she never really had asked him just what he wanted. Everything was her pace and never his.
She wanted to keep talking but a sudden stillness in the woods made her stop, her hand squeezing on his. "The animals are so quiet." She didn't have to be a senshi to know something was up, her face searching Aurostibites. "I can't feel auras, Is something here?"
