It was late.
It was late, and Auguste was not asleep, though he probably should have been. But instead, he was flipping through one of the pamphlets from the Destiny City Ballet Company - or rather, the theater itself, eyes skimming over the glossy pictures. He'd picked it up from the front desk when he'd gone there last, and although both Colin and Nadia had made it clear that they would let him know when the next showing was of the performances they were in, he liked reading up on everything anyway.
Colin, who was currently spending the night again, outside in the living room. Auguste was trying hard not to think too hard about this, but, well, it was hard. It was difficult not to like Colin - or Nadia - or even Lorne, whom he didn't even know as well as the other two. There was just something instinctively pleasant about all three of them altogether, though sometimes Auguste watched their interactions a little enviously, a pang in his chest. He hadn't ever had that sort of camaraderie with anyone before, and seeing it now, how easy it was for the three of them to be together, how comfortable it was...
Well, that was beside the point. Auguste had lovely roommates and lovely new friends, even if he was still awkward and hesitant around them.
He wasn't sure what time it was, exactly, but his throat was dry, and his stomach was rumbling; and after a few seconds of waffling back and forth, deciding what he wanted to do, Auguste slid from the bed. He crept over to his door and opened it as quietly as possible, not wanting to disturb either his actual roommate or their constant guest, tiptoeing towards the kitchen with careful steps.
It was only when he was actually at the sink that he realized the couch was empty.
Frowning a little, Auguste turned around, glancing from side to side, long hair falling freely over his shoulders. The bathroom door was open and the light was off, so Colin wasn't there. And the blankets were tucked neatly to the side, as though someone had just gotten up a moment before.
Well, maybe he was just...Auguste had no idea, but now that he was up, he was antsy, and maybe Colin had taken a walk, or maybe he'd decided to go home. He made his way over to the front door and tugged on his shoes, Auguste easing open the entrance and slipping out, padding down the hallway.
Outside it was cool and breezy and dark - and maybe it probably wasn't the smartest idea to go out on his own, this late at night, especially after the alleyway incident. But Auguste just tugged his coat around him a little further and kept walking, white locks ghosting around his pale face.
Maybe a walk would help him clear his head a little, after all.syrie IF THIS DOESN'T WORK PLS LEMME KNOW

It was late; a time when a goodly number of those living and working in Destiny City would be sleeping...but also a good time for a discreet attack by someone in the Negaverse. Which was likely why they'd chosen it as a good hour to go out on patrol - besides, it was their night on duty in this area. Colin, Ash, and an already transformed Methone were standing in a slightly secluded spot about a block from Nadia's apartment, discussing not only who would take which section for this run, but who should take Ash with. "Honestly, I think Ash should go with you this time, you're a bigger target than I am and might need the back up." He was smiling, henshin pen appearing in one hand from it's subspace pocket. "Besides, If I get in trouble I can always call." Colin knew his friends would protest, but he meant for Ash and Methone to be the ones patrolling this night; he could solo. He was far more used to it...but more than that, he wanted to keep his beloved friends safe as possible with their 'work'. Without any idea that someone might be coming up, the danseur held his pen up and called out the words Faust had given him, "Aegir Planet Power, Make-up!" [insert horribly acrobatic transformation sequence] For a flashing moment, he was nude and then the sparkling, swirling golden magic lifted him up and took over as it always did, covering him up in the trappings of a super senshi. It was nothing new for him, Nadia, or Ash. kuropeco WORKS FOR ME, WORK FOR YOU??

It was easier to meet up with Colin when the dancer choice to stay the night in her loft. Auguste was more comfortable with Colin staying, and didn't seem to protest a lot to either of her boys coming. Added to that, he didn't even seem to mind Ash.
Nadia was eternally grateful her roommate was so understanding, and seemed still oblivious to their nightly activities. She had transformed moments ago, and now took to holding the silver lady in her arms.
"I always take Ash you know." Methone smiled, "She would, I am sure love to venture out with you." She looked down at the cat, "But remember we agreed you couldn't go alone Ash, because well....Amphi." The seashell senshi could pop out of anywhere and she could do terrible things to Ash. That was not okay. "Right Ash? You do want to go with Colin this time right?"
She made a sound as Colin powered up and then let Ash down, so she could slap her hands on her hips.
"Aegir, you foolish Saturn brother." She was saying this with a smile, following him out of the block. Her gaze was for the solider of silence, and not anyone else at the mom
Whimsical Blue Hope this is okay as well!

"I'm not sure why we can't just patrol together." Came the imperious voice of the Seeming-cat in Nadia's arms. It wasn't fair of them to make her chose like this... She wanted them both!
Draped across the senshi's arms like the softest stole in existence, Ash flicked her tail in gentle irritation, more pout than anything.
"There is safety in numbers, you know. And what if something comes to snatch on of you away again, hmm? No one will be around to see it!" She flowed out of Nadia's arms like a grey shadow as she was let down, landing easily on tiny velvet paws. That tail still flickered behind her, twitching a little from one side to the other as she paced away. She wasn't really upset over the whole thing, but she presented them her back anyway in a pointed snub for not getting her way.
Senshi aura washed over her senses in a warm wave to bring comfort and a small sense of completion to the Mauvian. Senshi were why she existed. Without them, her life would be meaningless, wouldn't it? And these were two of the ones she had specifically chosen as 'hers', making the sense of connection so much better than it was with any other senshi. Which just brought her back to the problem of choosing between them which she wanted to tag along with tonight.
Oooooh humph. This is hardly fair. I shouldn't have to choose.

He heard voices coming from around the corner just up ahead, the cool night air brushing at his face as Auguste walked. His pale hair and skin were a stark contrast to the shadowy evening, a sharp beacon, but he fumbled around in the pockets of his coat until he found his beanie, and then he tugged it on, tilted back as was the style.
Auguste had decided to turn the opposite way, away from the voices - but before he could, a familiar voice wafted towards him, and he slowed his steps, coming to a stop just before the corner. That was Colin's gentle voice, right? He knew the prince's tone, which meant that he was up there - but the other voices that replied were not familiar.
Auguste's steps had quickened, just a little, and he peered curiously around the corner, face flushed with the chill, a hand resting along the brick wall. He had a few seconds of spotting Colin's back, a young woman in front of him, holding a strangely familiar cat, and then -
Blinding light surged upwards, golden and glowing, whistling through the air. It surrounded Colin in a gust of wind and glitter, swirling around - well, he was pretty sure it was still Colin, though he had no clothes on, Auguste's mouth falling open. And then, in his place, was someone else, someone who was familiar to him, because he'd met them before.
He stood there stupidly, just staring at them, trying to wrap his mind around everything, in plain sight of all three.

Powered up, he could protest further about taking Ash - not because he didn’t want company on his patrol (he did, but he was less concerned with himself than two of his favorite people. beings?) Nadia was calling him foolish and he couldn’t help giving her a bright grin, low light glinting off the gold and shimmery material almost as much as the white of his teeth. Ash had a point, but did they really want to end up patrolling longer just to stay en masse? “Well, we could, but that’d make it take longer.” Too late, his Silver Lady was sitting with her back to them, snubbing them gently for making her pick between them. “Ash—“ Someone’s watching!? It was just a feeling, but Aegir whipped around in a sharp turn to face whomever the intruder was, ready to deal with whatever the ‘problem’ was. He wasn’t, however, ready to see Auguste staring at him - them with his mouth gaping like a codfish. “ s**t. Guys, we’ve got company.” From his tone - and the lack of flaring aura - they’d probably understand that the curly haired blond didn’t mean bad company. Not the Negaverse. Hopefully. Jesus, it was possible, wasn’t it? Auguste could be part of the enemy team as easily as anyone with a serial killer smile. Catching his wits and realizing that of the magical trio, it was likely that Auguste had only seen his transformation - maybe he’d not heard Ash talking - Methone was already transformed and ready to go, so that wasn’t a worry. Nadia was safe. Ash was safe. “Auguste. Hi.” The senshi of silence stepped forward to try and figure things out. “So um, I guess you saw me transform.” There was no other reason for that expression - if he’d just rounded the corner to see Aegir standing there with present company, he’d not be staring with shock plain on his chill-pinked face. Aegir moved closer slowly, trying to not startle or scare his friend into running; catching Auguste wouldn’t have been hard while powered up, but he’d rather not terrify the guy. “Surprise,” He held his hands up in a gesture he hoped read as harmless though Auguste would know from experience that he wasn’t - at least not really. Colin or his other self, Aegir, were capable of doing damage - mortal damage - to a civilian…but he was hoping that his friend wouldn’t freak out terribly. Shock was one thing - he’d just seen someone he knew magically ******** transform into a another person he knew - it was understandable. “I’m sure you’re wondering what the hell’s going on…but um, don’t freak out.” Please don’t freak out, I don’t want to have to chase you and scare you.

"After current events, I think it'd be better if we did patrol together." Not that Methone had a problem with how Colin...Aegir did his thing. They were a good pair, and had gotten used to the way they had patrolled. Whether it was together or not.
Ash's snubbed earn a relaxed smile, as she knew Ash well and that the Silver Lady was only putting on airs. Ash was very much a precious princess, and Nadia loved her dearly for it.
"Oh, Ash. You are so cute when you get-" Methone stepped out now too and her head turned as she felt the presence of eyes. Eyes she knew.
Her arms crossed gently and she looked over at Ash.
"Aegir." She whispered, "you...." She wanted to say something but she was quite taken aback. She had never been caught as Methone by a civilian, so this...
And by her roommate.
"Hello Auguste." She waved, and the gold coins of her outfit jingled.

Ash was not inclined to relent in her snub, even when both senshi began to coo at her. It was satisfying to see at her disfavor caught both of their attentions, but there wasn't long to truly enjoy the competition for her affection because suddenly something was happening behind her. Triangular ears perked as the silver cat craned her head about, blinking wide green eyes.
It seemed... they were not alone. There was a very small young man staring wide eyed at the trio and Ash felt her ears sink back as she pushed herself to her paws. If he had seen Colin transform, they could be in for some trouble... Especially if he was one of the enemy in disguise. Her heart sank as she slunk away from the open area she had been in to something a bit more covered behind Methone's legs. She wasn't too worried about her own safety, not with both senshi along, but it was better not to court disaster.
The mauvian perked as a name sounded and there was a mixture of relief and renewed dread. Both Methone and Aegir knew this young man and it seemed were close to him. That was always the messiest sort of thing... when someone you cared about turned out to be secretly your enemy. If this Auguste was one such, it would be disastrous for both of them. Her poor Darlings... It just wasn't fair.
She needed to do something... sitting around watching this all unfold was entirely unappealing.
Ash's sleek form was a blur of silver as she streaked out from between Methone's ankles. In a burst of sparkles and light, she leaped forward and landed on dainty bare feet. As her cape fell in a rustle around her form, Ash crowded into the stranger's space, her face set in determined lines as her ears perked forward from long blue hair. Her aura was like a shining star, large and bright, but she felt safe with her senshi at her back. They wouldn't let anything hurt her, whatever form she took, just as she would do her best to protect them.
"Who are you? Are you a Negaverse agent?" She demanded as she set her hand on the curves of her hips, her tail swinging behind her. One hand came up to wave a forefinger under his nose. "I can tell if you're lying, so don't think you can try anything, got it? Now, answer my questions or you'll be in big trouble."

It made no sense, not really. Colin - was it even still Colin? It had been Colin, but this was not quite the same thing, and Auguste's gaze darted from the blond to the dark haired young woman behind him, his chest feeling absurdly tight.
"I - " His voice caught in his throat. Auguste swallowed hard.
"I'm not freaking out," he said, tone a mixture of confusion and wariness - but alongside his feelings of utmost bewilderment, there was also a certain sense of awe - and, strangely enough, of quiet reassurance that stemmed from his previous encounter with the one who was Not Colin.
The young woman called him by name too, but Auguste didn't have time to practice the uncertainty over it, because there was a streak of silver as the cat - wasn't that Nadia's cat? - came leaping forward, a flash of bright, sparkling light, and -
Oh. Oh, it had transformed, just like Colin - except she had ears and a tail, and was most certainly a cat and -
Auguste's head was spinning.
"I'm not - " he managed to get out, his eyes wide, and his hands were up, palms out to face the cat-lady as she glared at him, Auguste's mind seeming to short circuit inside o his head. He didn't know what she was talking about - what on earth was a Negaverse agent? - and the tips of his ears turned pink as Auguste stammered out stumbling words.
"I'm not lying, I just - I was looking for - for Colin, and - I heard - I heard voices and I saw - I'm sorry - I won't say anything, I promise - "
Everything he was saying was coming out too fast, tripping over one another in his haste to get the words out.

Nadia’s whisper and her subsequent greeting of Auguste fell on Aegir’s ears, but he was too busy keeping an eye on his friend to really acknowledge it; being caught transforming was a really big deal and he wasn’t really certain how to handle this - save to hope that Auguste was as good a person as he believed him to be. Surely he’s not a Negaverse agent…could he be, having been attacked by that one? Or maybe they got him after? Ugh, this is all a horrible mess.And then Ash came flying forward, all righteous indignation and rapid-fire questions from a transformed talking cat…all things that clearly flustered his poor friend. Aegir stepped closer, offering a hand to Auguste while trying to put a little space between his beautiful Silver Lady (she was so brave, so amazing) and his friend. “Easy now everyone, slow down with the questions - I think we all just need to take a breath here, Auguste isn't the enemy.” Poor Auguste, he was definitely panicking - and who could blame him? A talking cat, magical transformations…it really was a lot to process, even without people - or Mauvians - up in your face being aggressive (to protect her people). “Auguste? Il est bon, je le promets. Personne ne va te faire de mal.” The blond nodded to Methone, to Ash, hoping they would give him a bit of grace here, to help calm Auguste back down. “Remember when I told you about monsters and people that fight them? We’re those people…and the Negaverse is what spits out monsters.” Yes, he was overly simplifying it, but maybe this would let his friend understand that they were the good guys…and also why Ash was so vehement abut his being truthful about whether or not he fell on that side. “We needed to know…It’s not a good thing to have our identities found out, as you can imagine. “Croyez-moi, Auguste. Je suis encore Colin. Je suis juste aussi Aegir. Et cela est Ash, qui nous aide à guider. Et voilà Methone, elle est comme moi.” He was hoping that speaking in French might help soothe Auguste’s nerves a bit.

Methone reached over to pet the silver guardian and then relax. Colin....Aegir had this right? He just...
"Ash darling, my lovely lady, my dear friend." She chuckled, "Could you tell if he's negaverse? If you touch him?" Or perhaps the cat could reach out and just...sense if Auguste was just a human? That's all she wanted to know really.
Please Auguste, for all of their sakes, be just a human.

The young man began to sputter and fumble, which was entirely what Ash wanted. She wanted him off balance, because it was harder to lie when you were scrambling. Of course, she might feel bad later if he really wasn't a Negaverse agent, but she had to be sure... It was unthinkable that a one of them might find out the identity of not one, but two of her senshi.
Colin stepped in to take charge and Methone stroked her hair, making the silver ears twitch against her fingers. She was soothed, but not distracted. The curly haired senshi was saying something, but it was not a language that Ash understood, drawing out a pout from her. That wasn't fair... Not everyone understood French! You didn't see her talking in Basic, for crying out loud... Even if she could have. Easily. But she didn't. Because that would have been rude.
A twitch of her ear and Ash turned her attention to the young woman beside her, her ears falling back to lay in her hair. She was entirely serious, despite the chuckling from her senshi, her brows drawn together in a sad little frown.
"I.. don't think so? maybe?" She murmured softly, keeping her voice low between them. "But I've never tried. I mean... I've never been close enough to a powered down agent, or someone I knew was an agent, to be able to tell if they felt different."
Green eyes tinted purple flicked back to the boys with a thoughtful look, Ash's tail gently flicking behind her.
"I could try, but if I don't feel anything, that doesn't mean he's not, okay? You still need to be careful."
