Patrols seemed quiet and as of late, unactive with other senshi. Ash had mentioned looking out for other senshi, finding partners or someone to patrol with and Methone couldn't help the laziness, she didn't want to search too hard.
But she couldn't rely on Castor and Flora to keep protecting her, and she wasn't a child, so it was time to put her big girl panties on she supposed.
"Ahhhhhhh I don't want to be a grown upppppp~" Methone rolled in soft green grass, lightly lit by the street lights of the empty street she HAD been walking on.
"Being an adult suckssssss...." this was complained to no one in particular.

There was plenty of reasons for someone his age to not be out and about at such an hour, but then.... well. The one reason he had for not being at home, in bed, was the only reason he needed to sneak out again. For the third time that week. He felt like such a rebel.
And then partially guilty because he hadn't told his mom. He hadn't lied to her, but still. He wasn't being totally and completely honest with her like usual, and he had to admit it felt a little weird. Not that that stopped him.
With a laugh and a stride in his step, young Urda walked along in relative silence, wondering what he would do this evening. Maybe find another talking cat? Run into someone powered? See an adult rolling around in grass?
...what?
The closer he got the bigger his eyes got, and the more excited his smile. It wasn't long before he was running over and joining in on the woman's rolling spree. "Meeee neeeiiitheerrrr!" he chimed in, rolling right along beside her. "Being a kid rruuuuuulesssss!"

Methone accepted a child rolling in grass with her like water falling into the river. She continued to roll with him and make childish sounds of remorse and agony of the childhood she could never regain.
"Kids get to have all the fuuuuuuuuuuun~" Methone whined before reaching over and circling arms around the boy to tickle him, "What do I have here, a child to remind me of my pain!" She could feel the signature of order, and knew because of the primer that this one...this was one called chibi senshis? She just hadn't realized how young they were. "Hello cutie, did you come out to play tonight?" Methones gaze was lidded with lazy interest. "Certainly you aren't out here to fight anything are you?" She couldn't tell the sort of senshi he was, and rested her chin in the palm of her hand, looking him over.

Urda had to stop in the middle of all the rolling when the woman -- strange woman, but he didn't mind so much -- reached over and started to tickle him. Tickle him. He was deathly ticklish, and so innocent laughter spilled out of him, and he writhed around in that adorable, childlike manner until she finally stopped to ask him a question.
He had yet to catch his breath so he could only nod his answer, but eventually he wasn't quite so winded anymore. His smile was still wide and he rolled over and onto his stomach so he could look at her better, curiosity filling his bright orange eyes. "Not sure what I was about to do, actually. I figure every night I'm out here is a good night for something fun and new and exciting to happen. Y'know, kinda like in Harry Potter."
Yes, he was a Potter fan.
"I've never rolled around on grass with a pretty lady before, though," he went on. "My cousin would soooo be jealous!"Pixie Nyxie Dominic is his cousin, btw. |D;

Yes, Success! She adored torturing children until they laughed! The tickles would cease soon enough and she would sit up, resting her hands behind her to eye the boy carefully.
So young...
"That's a good way of looking at it cutie, but I think our adventures are a little more real?" She smiled, "I mean, you have magic don't you? And you can go to space! I don't think Harry Potter could do that, we're even better!" She blinked, "Oh...but we don't have a chamber of secrets to try and figure out."
She was contemplating on just what to compare for him when he complimented her, which immediately gained her interest and attention again.
"No? You've been missing out cutie!" She reached out to bop him on the nose, "Would he now? We should make your cousin even more jealous, would you like to take a walk around?" it was her way of offering to patrol, explore and keep an eye on a kid walking around the city. "We can do an adventure if you like, I'll be your pretty sidekick tonight okay?"

"I can go to space?!" he interjected, eyes wide and mouth hanging open in an expression of disbelief. He had super power and he could walk on the moon? This really was the coolest thing that ever happened to him! And she was right, they were way cooler than Harry Potter. He didn't even marginally care that they didn't have a Chamber of Secrets; if they could go to space, it was an entire universe of secrets they'd probably have to discover anyway. Much, much bigger than a tiny old chamber under a school.
He was sitting up straight now, and staring right at his new friend with his wide, curious, adventure-seeking eyes. A small smile was still settled on his lips when she bopped him, and when she offered to walk around with him he nodded enthusiastically. "Yeah! We can beat up bad guys or monsters and make sure they don't hurt anyone!" and again, his mind was going back to some book or TV show he'd seen where the good guys virtually do the exact same thing. This was his story though, and he was planning on making things as interesting as possible. So he stood up and dusted himself off, not wanting time to go to waste on her offer.
"Let's go, uh..." and his manners got to him then, and he gave a sheepish smile. "What's your name again?"

"Yes! You can go to space you little cutie!" Methone got up as well, reaching over to brush her hand through his hair. "I'm Methone! Methone of the Aurora Borealis, you know those northern lights?" She smiled, "The really pretty blue and green ones."
She held her hand out for him to hold, taking his smaller one gently and swinging it back and forth. "To you ever meet a guardian cat? They show you how to use your phone to go to space!" She paused, "Oh what's your name? I forgot to ask and it'd be silly to keep calling you sweetling or something!" Plus those were reserved for her little buddies. Buddies with benefits.
"Yes! We can beat them up." Or she would do her best to do all the work and let him get the finishing blow or something! "Where do you think the bad guys could be right now? Do you feel any are nearby?" This adventure? She'd leave it to Urda to lead the way.

He'd heard stories and seen pictures of the Aurora Borealis--ones his sister told and shared with him when he was a bit younger--and the memory softened his excited expression a bit. It still hurt to think about her, he realized, but quickly forced the thoughts to the back of his mind as he pulled her along on their adventure. "I bet you got a pretty power 'cause you're so pretty!" he said as they went, not at all shy about saying that she was definitely pretty. Or at least, he was sure his cousin would think so, so he thought so, too.
Again her question got a light bobble of his head as they went, and he turned and looked up at her. "And I haven't tried using my phone," he said, eyes wide and curious about the contraption now that he remembered he even had it. It looked and felt like a normal phone, after all--nothing super impressive. "A cat did gimme it when I first became Urda, though. That's my name, Urda! Of.. Thornberry or something. I forgot, but it was cool." Or at least he thought so.
With her last question he pointed in some random direction, smile still wide as he looked first at her, then to where he was pointing. "Let's try there!"

Luckily for Urda, Methone's gaze was turned away from him, so she didn't see the hint of sadness. And damn it to all hell, kids were so honest. She actually blushed a little as his observation before squeezing his hand again.
"You're a little flatterer you know." She laughed as she said it, "I hope your cousin isn't teaching you those lines little man." But more seriously, she hoped this cousin wasn't teaching this cutie stuff like that. "You might steal my heart away." She teased.
"Really! I haven't really tried either to be honest. But my friend, He's a prince senshi! He has big wings, and he took me to his planet once!" She spread her arms out, "And my other friend? She is a senshi of spring! She's really cute and has lots of flowers." Methone was of course speaking over her two loves, but since he was a kid, he really didn't need to know about that.
"Urda of the thornberries? Like...Wild thornberries?" Wasn't that a Nickelodeon show? She headed in the direction of where he pointed and then blinked.
"Oh dear." She tugged him to a stop as they happened a particularly nasty looking youma. On it's way back to it's master? And how did she fight it with Urda? "Urda darling, I think you should stand a little closer." Her arm came around his shoulders protectively.

Thoughts of how much he looked up to Dominic ad how he wanted to talk him up to the pretty senshi beside him flew right out the window at mention of her friend with wings. Wings. He bounced excitedly at the idea, his grip on her tightening. "Can he fly, can he fly?" he asked, though he felt he probably already knew the answer. If he could take her to space then he could definitely fly, but he wanted to be sure. Maybe he had some other powers, too. He cared more about that then answering her question about his name, that was for sure. So he kept his eyes on her, waiting for her to answer his question rather than answering the one she'd asked about his name.
He hoped she would answer, too, but when she stopped and suddenly pulled him closer his attention was brought forward. Red eyes landed on a feral looking creature with fierce, blood red eyes. It looked about the size of a large horse, but it seemed more like a porcupine in form, with needles stemming out from all over its body. It seemed as though it was headed in the other direction at first, but it suddenly hissed and turned its attention on them, as though it sensed their approach.
Urda swallowed the lump in his throat, fear taking hold of his vocal chords then. He nodded his response, though his eyes never left the youma.
It stalked toward them slowly at first, but within seconds it was barreling straight for them, its cry a strange, ear-splitting cross between a shrill cry of a dying animal and the bleating of a goat. Disturbing, to say the least, and it froze Urda right where he stood.Pixie Nyxie Porcupine! : D Sorry for the wait~

"He can, He can!" Methone laughed, "He can fly..." Sort of. More like gliding. But her gaze turned and she was facing the large porcupine youma with a much more serious gaze.
The creature started to rush them, intent, she was sure, to skewer them on it's long pikes. She could feel Urda tense under her, and let her arm drop to his waist, circling the boys and lifting him.
"Hold on urda." Methone whispered as she used as much as force as she could to jump away. Her jump pushed them towards a tree, as she jumped to another one, holding the boy still and drawing the creature closer into the woods.
Once it was throughly lost into the woods, she set Urda down quietly, brushing some hair from his face.
"You don't have to fight if you don't want too." She whispered, "I understand okay? It's scary. I'm going to go down there." She brushed her lips against his cheek, "Stay up here okay cutie?"
Then she pushed herself down, landing in front of the youma.
"You're one of the ugliest youma's I've seen to date." Methone casually remarked. "Come on then."

Oh, he held on. Tight. Urda watched their surroundings go by and thought it looked a little like the view did from a car, except not quite so fast. He could still make out details, and particularly of the monster chasing them. He'd practiced so much for this, spent how many nights in alleyways playing make-believe and fighting his version of "monsters" and winning. He thought he'd be ready to face another real one, but no. He'd frozen stiff and someone had to save him.
Again.
When she set him on a branch and asked him to stay put, he nodded his head lightly. She was kind, even giving him a kiss on the cheek before braving the monster that he'd inadvertently directed them towards. She didn't ask him to do anything, and some part of realized that as he was he probably couldn't help even if he joined her, and he might even make the fight harder for her if all he could do was flounder around and put himself in harm's way. So he watched from where he stood as the porcupine-thing approached, another horrifying cry escaping its wide open jaws as it jumped for Methone.
"Watch out!" he cried, then closed his eyes and hoped it would all be over quick and, of course, that Methone would win.Pixie Nyxie Tag! Sorry for the wait. P: Do with the porcupine what you will~

Methone wanted to be cool for Urda, show him how it was being a senshi, but it was dangerous work and she had nothing more to show him then the defeat of the monster.
It opened it's jaws, jumping right at her. She side stepped, moving to punch it and hitting it's giant pointy skin. It didn't quite pierce her skin but it did slice it and she watched a little blood well from the wound. There was a quiet hiss, barely heard from the northern lights senshi as she moved under the tree Urda was in.
"Urda darling, would you mind breaking me a branch from the tree?" She pointed to a already half broken longer thicker branch. "A weapon if you will?"

He blinked down at her, processing the information as quickly as his 9-year-old brain could manage, then glanced around for a vulnerable branch that he could kick off and hand her as a weapon. Soon enough his red gaze landed on one just one branch lower, and a little to his left. "Found one!" he cried, then started hustling to get it.
The young senshi moved carefully--his tree-climbing expertise seemed to escape him under duress (something else he had to practice)--down, dangling first from the branch she'd set him on and glancing down to make sure he didn't lose his footing. When he felt he would land firmly on the branch below, he let go and braced himself. Sure enough, he landed without incident, and he beamed. "Almost got it!" he went on, turning his eyes briefly to Methone, then the monster which was still crying out and aiming its giant quills at his new friend.
With great effort Urda kicked at the already-dangling branch, and finally after a loud snap he watched it fall to the ground beneath, just at Methone's feet. "Sorry!" he called, wincing when he realized how close it had come to actually falling on her head. "Uhm, but there's your weapon!"
He glanced up, eyes wide as the porcupine-thing let out another cry and moved to strike once more.Pixie Nyxie Methone could hear the branch give once under the weight. She was a patient creature and tried to keep the youma’s attention slowly on her. Especially when it looked up at Urda. “No no Darling, he’s not your friend tonight.” Methone picked up a rock, small, only a pebble really and threw it at the beast head, drawing the attention….and anger...back to her. “That’s right big boy, don’t look away.” She could hear Urda trying again, and wanted to shout encouragement to the boy who was doing his best. She moved just in time as she felt the branch drop next to her, felt the small of air as it passed. The creature, sensing the danger most likely, started to charge. Methone didn’t really think about it as her arm reached out, her body twisted a little, drawing as much strength as she could and as the creature roared at her, she shoved the branch deep into its gull, the porcupine’s pikes just a breath away from her. It shuddered, moaned in pain and then fell with a heavy thunk. It gave a little sigh and then started to dissipate, like the chaos creatures often did. She waited just a moment more, before dropping the branch, dusting her hands on her skirt and with her best face to show she wasn’t phased, smiled up at the chibi senshi. “How is that for super heroes Urda?”
Now he wasn't the crying sort, nor was he one to scare easily, but this time...it felt like coming across that youma was his fault. If he maybe hadn't insisted on adventuring or something, they wouldn't have had to deal with it. And she wouldn't have had to face it more or less by herself. It was such a thought that forced tears to well up in his large, red-orange eyes as he jumped down, aiming straight for Methone to give her a big, bear hug.
Or as much of a bear hug as he could get out of his short arms.Pixie Nyxie Methone was no stranger to hugs and enjoyed them very much. So when Urda wrapped his smaller arms around her, she did the same thing. But his hug was tight and he was a child and she understood he had been scared. She bent down to his level and hugged him even tighter. “Don’t worry! I’m okay Urda, really!” Methone reached up to run her hand through his hair. “It wouldn’t have hurt me! I have an amazing hero that helped me too!” She squeezed again. “Should we go home now? I think I’ve had enough adventuring for a day don’t you?”
He gave another sniffle before finally nodding. "Home sounds good. I can train again later on…"
The young senshi reached over and gave his friend another hug before pulling back and pointing in another direction, this time more purposefully. "My house is that way, but it's pretty far. If you wanted to go home and rest since you did all that fighting and stuff, that'd be alright with me. I can make it on my own." He offered up his best smile then, not wanting her to worry about him at all. "I've made the trip a lot of times and if I run super fast I can get there really quick! Like The Flash!"Pixie Nyxie Methone eventually eased Urda’s hugs into holding her hand, before scoffing at him. “Little sir, you are not going home by yourself, what kind of adult do you think I am!” She laughed, especially since he was still apologizing over the monster that was NOT his fault. She had the urge to comfort him until he forgot about it. “I will take you home.” she urged, heading the way he pointed with him in tow. “and tuck you in little handsome hero, and if you should find that you’d like to train-” She pulled out her cellphone with her free hand, snapping a photo of him. “You should call me! Our phones can do that.” She posed for him, still holding his hand with a winky face and kissy lips. “Tell your cousin you got a pretty senshi sidekick too!” She laughed.
"Training with you would be awesome! You were so cool today, I bet I could learn a lot. I bet you could even kick my cousin's butt! Like 'ha-yah!' or 'wha-pa!' and all that stuff again!" And the expressions were done with little karate-chop imitations.
Urda laughed a little and, if it was possible, the boy started to vibrate with the excitement, kind of hop-skipping a little ahead of Methone with his worries about the youma incident all forgotten. All in all it'd been a productive evening; he made a new friend, (sort of) helped kick a youma's butt, and he got to show off to his cousin that he had a pretty senshi sidekick!
Not that his cousin had any idea about senshis or any of that, far as he knew. That doesn't mean he couldn't share, though; chances were Dominic would think of it as another storybook he'd read, anyway.Pixie Nyxie Methone’s smile didn’t waver the whole walk back to his place, and even as he sped forward, she kept a lazy lidded look over him. “Good! I think we can learn a lot from each other, and maybe you can give me some of your kid energy!” She made grabby hands for him, like how they met, to tickle him. “You think so? Well if he’s ever super mean to you too, you can call me and I’ll beat him up for you.” She would never actually beat someone up for no reason, but it was meant to make it clear for Urda that she would! “Okay little handsome, Which house is yours?” She looked around, unfamiliar with the street and houses.
"The one with the motorcycle in front of it!" he said while dodging her tickling hands, laughing all the while. "It's my cousin's. He's staying with us for the weekend to hang out and help me with my project."
And that was all he could say, succumbing to a small fit of laughter before wriggling out of her grasp. "I can make it on my own now," the boy-senshi said once he managed to catch his breath. He reached up and gave her a tight hug before running ahead and making sure he was in the shadows and obscured from view before powering down.
No one else was around, anyway, so it was probably okay.
Cliff turned and waved goodbye, the smile still splitting his face. "Thanks for taking me home. We should train soon. I'll teach you how to be a kid again if you teach me how to kick youma tail!" With that he turned and ran for home, intending to sneak in via scaling the back wall and climbing through his window. But.
She didn't need to see him try and fail and that.~FIN
