Mintaka, surprisingly, was not a very happy camper tonight. Her small quiet time of tea, as for the past week, had been interrupted by the northern lights senshi who came mostly to hit on her, pass her compliments, and sometimes ask questions. The questions were few and far in between the hitting on, thus Mintaka didn't take her seriously.
And as she escaped in a short brush off of the other woman, Methone, as her name was, soon followed after.
"Do you have to stand so close." Mintaka hissed as she landed in the park, taking the path to the deeper middle grassland.
"Of course, how else would I see the pretty lady?" Methone folded her arms together. "Is this your normal patrol spot Mintaka?"
Mintaka scoffed and headed deeper in, "No, I am visiting a friend today." If Methone had been paying attention, she'd've felt the aura of another basic senshi not far from them. But she was too busy wondering why the eternal didn't seem to like her so much.
As they came to the woods, Mintaka stayed at the edge, looking into the open clear space. Her arms crossed and she remained silent as Methone looked over her shoulder.
"What a pretty uniform!" The northern lights senshi strutted herself right into the middle of the area where Antiope was training. Something Mintaka thought very foolish but didn't bother to stop. Teach the senshi a lesson or two or something.
"Hello pretty little thing! Are you really a friend of Mintaka here?" Methone waved.

Now that Thursdays were dedicated to a different style of Wushu, it was far more important to Antiope that her other days were consistently dedicated to Northern Mantis style.
Today was not a form day, but more so a day to practice things at regular speed, in practice to the fullest. Things had potential to get sloppy if she went too fast, but it wasn't like the untrained eye could tell. To them, the Mantis Senshi's speed was probably enough to spin heads.
Antiope had not been expecting company, and in her practice she found herself rather suddenly blindsided by a girl.
Most people would have stopped what they were doing.
Antiope was not most people.
"TSSSSSSSSST!" was the loudly hissed cry as a sleeve covered hand rather suddenly jabbed at the stranger in the ribs on one side, then to compliment it, the ribs on the opposite side of the body. Two strikes in, the small Mantis girl jumped back, still maintaining a defensive stance as she looked the situation over.
"Who's asking?"

It was like watching a martial arts movie in slow motion, Mintaka would like to say. Methone going on the field, Antiopes short and quick jabs and then the slow motion fall of the northern lights senshi.
As politely as she could, with as much regal lady like manners she could muster, Mintaka covered her mouth that was drawn into the widest grin and turned her inside hysterical laughter into a small cough.
Just one small cough.
Methone though didn't seem to think it was funny and crumpled like paper with the wind. She clung to both of her sides and winced with the instant sort of pain.
"her name is Methone, Anti!" Mintaka smiled, "Sorry to interrupt, but she insisted on following me here."

Antiope's head raised up slightly upon her neck as she heard a familiar voice.
"Meth-one?" It was odd, but it was one of the few times that the Mantis Senshi did not feel the need to shorten the name. Rather than take a more casual stance, the senshi remained in place.
"She left herself wide open..." she justified as she remained in place, seemingly unwilling to ease up on the defensive.

"Ah more like Melanie but with a TH." Mintaka corrected, this time moving closer now that Anti was positioned on the defensive then the offensive. "I was coming to how your training was going.." But by the looks of Methone on the ground, it was going pretty well.
The senshi moaned on the ground, then pushed herself up.
"Can you two please stop talking about me like I am not here..." She groaned, rubbing the now tender spots of the mantis senshi jab. Crazy kung fu artist.
"You've got some mad bruce lee skills there Asian chick." Methone tried for a smile again, "Sorry, you were so cute, I didn't think you'd be lethal too."
"First mistake!" Mintaka casually added from her safe spot away from the mantis senshi.

There were ways to compliment Antiope. Ways to win her over!
Usually it involved comparing her to her idols in life.
"I only wish that Bruce Lee would say something like that to me! Alas... some dreams will never come true!" The Mantis senshi's cheeks flushed as she spoke of the man.
However, her defensive stance never wavered as the identified Methone smiled at her.
"...I fail to understand what would make you think I was 'cute' if I am working out at the moment?" Methone may have been forcing a smile, but Antiope did not seem to be returning the favor.

"Oh? That's a shame darling, I could you tell you all the time if you wanted?" Methone moved closer again, "It's the way you move." Methone answered easily, "Plus you've got a smaller frame, pretty hair and I love the way your uniform is."
There was a moment, and Mintaka coughed. "Excuse me Methone but is highly inappropriate to hit on Antiope!"
But there went Methone still was moving closer to Antiope, with all intents of perhaps touching the girl. If she got a touch, whats to say she couldn't...slide a hand around the woman's waist?
Mintaka waited again for the inetivable throw of Methone far away.
"I am going to set up tea." Mintaka mention, and disappeared into the woods. When she returned, it was with a table, and the full workings of tea time. How she did it?
MAGIC!

Countering Methone's movements, the two seemed to move in a circle as Antiope moved in the opposite direction. Her expression was still quite tense.
"You confuse me," was the direct comment.
The moment any sort of appendage seemed to draw too close, the Mantis senshi lashed out, her sleeve covered claws pushing the appendage away, followed by a hook with the other claw to the opposite hand at Methone's leg. With one sweep, she had forced the other senshi to the ground.
Still keeping her distance, the little senshi commented "I agree with Minny in all honesty." Speaking of Minny, it seemed as if the Origami senshi had scurried to get tea set up.
Tempted to fold her sleeves up together, she murmured "Minny better have a nice spread tonight..."

"Oh are you like one of those really innocent girls?" Methone blinked, "You don't get that like...I'd love to get my hands on you."
"My god, you are a horny heathen!" Mintaka started her seeping of the tea, a brew especially meant to hopefully calm the mantis senshi after the poor onslaught that was Methone on her. "Knock her out already Antiope!"
Which was exactly what Anti was attempting, the hook leg claw earned a murmuring approval from the Origami senshi while being rewarded with the fall from Methone and a loud, "OKAY!"
The northern lights senshi just laid there and sighed, it hurt way too much to attempt much more then a couple of comments. "Okay darling, okay, I will just lay here, will that suit better?"
"Hardly any better then what you were doing before." Mintaka said as she took a seat on a fallen tree log, closing her eyes as she inhaled the scent. "Antiope, Tea is ready. Do you want a snack as well?"

"VICTORY!"
It wasn't even slightly discreet when she cried it out for the whole park to hear. With a big grin on her face, she then trotted to the origami senshi at the table setting. Antiope was beaming, even if her opponent was absolutely no challenge.
"Just tea, please! Warmed, no sugar or additives, please!"
From her new place, she asked the girl on the floor "So is there a reason you came here, Methone? Clearly you are not here to train..."

"Congratulations Antiope, another enemy felled by your quick strikes." Mintaka seeped the tea just at the Mantis senshi asked for, pouring the tea for her in a delicate cup, then patting for the mantis to sit with her.
"You speed has been improving admirably. The strikes even seem more precise but I am no expert." Mintaka munched on a little cookie.
Methone though on the ground, rolled and pushed herself up.
"I was following Minny around. Seeing what she could show me. I didn't know she had cute friends like you though!" In fact, she was sure Mintaka was all buddy buddy with the dark mirror court or something.
Dark senshi, pah.
"So what's your senshi path Antiope?" Methone reached over for a cup, only have Mintaka slap her hand and sniff. She frowned and tucked her hand to her side instead.

With tea at hand, or in her case, sleeve, the mantis senshi settled in place, tea cup balancing upon her sleeved hands.
Antiope couldn't help boasting "It is the emphasis on form that helps with precise marksmanship!"
Taking an enthusiastic sip from her cup, she almost choked on her tea as Methone explained her motivations for the evening. With a cough, the Mantis senshi straightened up from her spot and looked at the more unfamiliar senshi as if she had suddenly sprouted a third arm.
"I am not cute." There was no modesty to her tone, just a plain observation on her own part. "Cute" was not a thing she did or worried about being.
It was not a surprise that the Mantis senshi seemed even further confused by Methone's random inquiry. "...Senshi-path-what-now?"

"You have excellent form and marksmanship Antiope, but you have been diligent in your practices. Have you gone back to your planet since our last visit?" Mintaka asked, only to keep the conversation away from Methone as she wanted to keep the two seperated. If Anti talked about things Methone couldn't catch onto, the perhaps she would get bored-
"Thats your own opinion hun, I think you are." Methone winked, powering through Mintaka's talking and rambling. "Senshi path, Castor says a lot of senshi's choose different-" She held up her hands, "paths with dealing with their jobs. You know like, Mintaka talks to people. She's a peacekeeper or whatever. Castor is a straight forward war kind of senshi, and I'd like to consider myself a solider." Methone waited.
"That's hardly appropriate to ask Methone." Mintaka started again, "It's none of your business how we interact with the negaverse-"

Antiope legitimately got lost somewhere in Methone's explanation. Perhaps it had something to do with the fact she didn't understand that there was indeed a need for a bigger role in this Senshi-business.
So instead of offering an answer, she proceeded to respond to Mintaka's inquiry. "You mean my space-rock thing with the skulls? Oh man, it was glorious! I went for a couple days for some training... if we had gone down the other path you would have seen a much nicer place, Minny!"
With a quick puff of air on her tea, then a sip from her carefully balanced cup, she continued.
"There was a huge clearing that was some sort of training grounds... and a palace... and a hot spring! Oh that hot spring was nice... I just had some technical difficulties, so I couldn' thoroughly enjoy it! There were also 3 waterfalls... I plan to go back to try training under them! Strengthening exercise and what-not!"
With a huge grin, she added "Apparently all the warriors were women! Lots of weapons and armor, but the armor was specifically for women! Isn't that wild?!"

Methone was suddenly feeling third wheel with Mintaka and Antiope, so she settled back for listening now, even as Antiope ignored her question to answer the origami's.
"Yes. Your space rock full of skulls Anti." Mintaka snorted, shuddering at the memory of the ones placed on pikes. "Perhaps I can go with you again next time!"
Methone wondered what it was with senshi's too and space. She still had yet to be her planet but by the descriptions that Mintaka and Antiope gave, she didn't think she wanted too.
"A amazon planet? I suppose there is crazier things." Mintaka waited, "Perhaps there were men too? But according to most Amazon cultures, Men were nothing more then studs and workers." She flitted a look to Methone who was starting to drift to sleep, small wonder since the northern lights senshi was now being ignored.
"Hot springs and waterfalls, Antiope your world sounds perfectly made for you!"
