Welcome to Gaia! ::

Same night as Luna Bay.

Ferris didn't stop, using all of her strength to carry Callisto away, away from the battleground, away from the noise, away from everyone to her - their apartment. Erika had spent so much time there, Ferris didn't know that she shouldn't invite Erika to move in - she ertainly wouldn't mind, but right now the most important person in her life was hurt and scared, and she was going to shower her in kisses, nuzzling and holding her.

She almost powered down, except the moonlight was cut off by the tall, lithe frame of Sailor Elpis, the senshi peering in from the sliding flass door with concerned eyes, senshi frowning faintly.

"Is she alright?" Elpis asked softly. Ferris pulled her to her chest, pulling Callisto in tight and secure, and snuffled, Elpis looking worried in the dark.

"Physically.... Emotionally..." Ferris wasn't sure, and instead, kissed Callisto again, softly and tenderly. "I hope so. Love her. Stupid.... She might not like me too..."

"Not stupid." Elpis said, and took it as in invitation to walk in, reaching to pet Callisto's hair.

"Hey, you. You alright? Your messy friend is crying." She finally addressed Callisto with a weak joke.

Ferris rocked Callisto, crying releif as she nuzzled and kissed the top of her head, and kissed her face, nuzzling and cuddling her.

"Not angry, Callie." Ferris soothed. "Only love here. I love you, okay? Tonight-" Ferris paused shyly. "Tonight just proved it. I love you." And she smiled, kissing Callisto's head again as she wrapped her in her arms to hide. Elpis tilted her head, and finally smiled, remembering Callisto after seeing her outside a fight.

"Hey." Elpis finally said. Ferris eyed her, but Elpis was smiling softly.

"Hey, now, you did some pretty good stuff. Not your fault you had a streak of bad luc. You might just - need some extra help. Nothing wrong with that. And you have someone who was ready to risk themself to protect you. That's-" Elpis chuckled awkwardly. "I'd call that a damn good senshi to get that loyalty. As for liability, who fed you that line of horseshit? C'mon. You just need to find your niche."

"I need you." Ferris protested, and wrapped Callisto in her arms, holding her close to her chest. "I need you. You help me find a reason to want to power. I mean - it's not Jem, but. We're the Holograms, you, and me. We're in it together."Ferris pressed a kiss to Callisto's forehead, clinging and hiding her and nuzzled her, trying to look her in the eyes.

"You're beautiful to me, Callisto. Don't need to be great to be amazing to me." Ferris sniffed a bit, and smiled. "Love you. All I want is you and you happy."

And Ferris bent, kissing her lightly. Elpis blinked, thinking as she listened.

She let Callisto speak, thinking before sitting on the carpet, crossing her legs as she thought, finally looking up, then grinned.

"I think - you might be right, but, only about protecting people. Maybe - you should try some self defense classes. I know half my knowing to scrap is because my twin brother and I do it for fun. And me and some of my cousins. And they'll help when you aren't powered too. They'll let you learn to fight without street fighting." Elpis smiled gently. "Maybe you can heal. Healing is protection too. It keeps injuries from being too much - you can take a first aid course, carry supplies."

Elpis paused, then studied Ferris, and looked to her feet, to the cieling, then shut her eyes, swallowing.

"You can - You've got to be in this longer than me. Ferris here is. Teach. You can teach others, even just a little. I know most of this I've been pulling out my a**. But teaching... We always need that and I bet you'd be great at it."

Ferris paused, and smiled, kissing Callisto again and looked to her.

"Callisto is good at teaching me." She said softly. "If she hadn't, I might've given the wrong person my identity before."

Ferrois' tone was soft, and she held Callisto to her close.

"I'd do anything for her. She's taught me so much, more than some - and - she's good company,and fun, and has an amazing smile."
