A shiver ran up Juno's spine as she awaited Puck's arrival. With the changing time night came so early now, which meant more time to patrol and play around as a senshi. Something she greatly approved of, especially since she didn't always have to spend those long nights alone anymore. But at the same time it brought cooler weather, which she was ill prepared for between her fuku and becoming reaclimated to the more subtle shifts in weather back in Brazil during her time there again.
Sitting on a thick branch, her legs swung, watching as the light motions sent colorful leaves twirling downwards to the ground one by one. She wasn't entirely sure if she liked Destiny City fall or not. But it was hard to dislike the colors of the leaves or the satisfying crunch they made when you stepped on them.
It was the crunch of leaves that alerted her to his approach, paired with the aura of someone obviously of Order, she didn't even wait to see him before calling out playfully. "You were lucky with your fuku Puck."
"If you are not careful though I will try and steal pants." She grinned with amusement. She'd meant to cover her bare legs but she hardly minded if he read other meanings into it.tatterpixie You get a ridiculous/probably unrelated title because she's going to talk about the weather until I figure out something more exciting to talk about. XD

The leaves, piled high on the pavement, presented Puck with the irresistible opportunity for fun as he made his way to the meeting spot he and Juno had chosen for this evening's patrol. Not that patrolling with Juno wasn't fun -- it was immense fun, romping all over Destiny City and occasionally dusting some youma or getting into a fight with a Negaverse agent. And she was a fun patrol partner, someone he was particularly fond of too. But this fun was more of a harkening back to when he was a small child playing on the streets of London. Approaching a nice high pile of leaves, Puck looked around to see if there were any witnesses, then plowed into it with both feet, kicking the leaves around and stomping on those that remained underfoot with a satisfying crunch. He grinned gleefully as he frolicked for a few moments before returning to the mission at hand. He didn't avoid crunching on any other leaves he found, though. At about the same time he detected a familiar Order aura, he heard Juno call out to him. Looking up into the trees, he saw the familiar form of Juno perched on a branch. "What, you're going to nick me trousers off right here in public?" he grinned back, bracing his hands on his hips. "Naughty girl." Iris_virus XDDDD That works for me! heart

'Nick me trousers'. Yet another colorful and amusing phrase that was entirely foreign to the Brazilian. But it was easy enough to catch the meaning of this particular one from the contextual clues. It was actually kind of a fun for her anymore - to try and pick out and figure out strange things he said when one of his British-isms slipped out. It wasn't at all like when people spoke in big words to her, making her feel smaller than them in her lack of vocabulary. So she didn't bat an eye when the weird phrase sounded, instead grinning as she leaned far out from her seat on the branch, teasing him in turn. "If you were gentlemen you would offer them to me I think, I would not have to take."
With a simple scoot her bottom left the edge of the branch and she landed moments later on the ground, sending up a small flurry of leaves around her sandals. It was close enough for her to throw a lazy, and very easily avoidable, playful punch at his shoulder as she mused. "Good thing I do not like gentlemen. Too boring."
Besides, she was a big girl. Being a little cold wasn't the end of the world and by the time they started running around she was quite certain she'd forget all about it. Hell, if they got into enough trouble she might actually be feeling too hot and need to cool down before the night was over. But only time would tell just what the night, and Chaos, would have in store for them tonight.
Sandaled toes kicking through the dried leaves mildly, she took in a deep breath of the crisp night air. "This is so different from fall in Brazil. It mostly just rains much more. Leaves do not fall like this and it does not get so cold." And was completely different months, but that was a weird southern hemisphere thing she'd already gotten used to a long time ago.

Puck grinned at Juno as she leapt down from the branch and playfully punched his arm. "Good thing I'm not a gentleman then, innit?" he replied, rubbing his arm in mock pain. In truth, he really was something of a gentleman, as far as punks went. But he'd never admit it. Not even to her. "Autumn here is pretty similar to autumn back home in London." He kicked a small pile of leaves, which rustled beneath his foot. "The trees are a little bit different here, but the leaves change color and fall just the same. Then everyone rakes them into piles and the kids play in them before they're picked up and recycled as compost." The blond senshi took a deep, nostalgic breath; the smell of the leaves here reminded him so much of the parks he used to play in as a child in the fall. He wondered if there were seasons on his homeworld and if it was fall there. He'd have to visit again soon. Maybe he'd take Juno with him some time, too. He smiled up at her. He really enjoyed hearing her talk about her home. "Yeah, I reckon this is really different than Brazil. Must be taking a bit to get used to." Sliding a hand around her waist, he pulled her hip against him and gave her a little squeeze, partly to warm her from the chill of the night, partly out of pure affection.

"I do not know that they would fit anyway." She mused in response, hazarding a glance down at his 'pants' with a smirk. Atheletically slim or not, she was pretty sure her hips and butt were a little more shapely than his. Without even getting into the length issue.
The words however sparked a sudden thought in the Brazilian and her smirk grew even wider. "Actually, now that I say this.. I should probably tell you that if you lose too much clothing you ahhh.. you become yourself again - not Puck." It was a strange and obscure lesson she'd learned once, thankfully while fighting a youma as opposed to a real enemy. Claws, a lot of shredding fabric, and all of the sudden it was Aitana pounding away at a monster instead of Juno.
Nestling into the arm that slipped around her she gave him a playful nudge. "Maybe sometime we will test how much clothing is too much clothing?" For science of course. No ulterior motives at all.
With any other patrolling partner she'd probably have been shooing them on already. But with Puck she never minded shooting the s**t, listening to him talk was as exciting as hunting down things to beat up. And she listened with soft interest as he talked about autumn in London.
"When I first move here, back in highschool, it was very strange and different. Both fall and winter." She'd had her share of playing in the leaves, acting more like she was 5 than 15. But her first snow had been even more jarring and exciting. Actually the prospect of having snowball fights or rather 'super serious training snowball battles to the death' with Puck almost made her wish the cold would come sooner.
Only cold was cold. So maybe she could wait just a little bit longer, and just enjoy the leaves for now.
Lightly kicking a few of the stray leaves towards his boots, she laughed. "I played in leaves some then, when I first came. But was not as fun as when I was a cat. The piles of leaves were much bigger and more exciting as a cat."tatterpixie Oh hey look, I found two weird things to talk about. XD *pro* cool

Tilting his head at Juno like a dog, Puck raised an eyebrow. "So what you're saying is… if your fuku becomes shredded, you become normal again, is that it?" This whole senshi thing got weirder and weirder almost every day. "That would make the magic be in the outfit then, wouldn't it?" He remembered Eros asking about that, and the only answer he'd been able to provide at the time was the whole 'clean and tidy' aspect of it -- that no matter how dirty or damaged it got, it was always good as new the next time one transformed. Now he'd be able to tell her something else. At her next comment, the other eyebrow went up and he returned her smirk. "Yes, we might just have to find out how much clothing is too much." That would be a fun experiment. He hadn't been intimate with her powered up yet. He wondered if it was any different, or how different it was, from the times they were together as humans. Yeah, definitely a fun experiment. He listened as she described her first fall and winter in the US. It was fun imagining her playing in the leaves like a small child; hell, she was practically playing in them now. Then she laughed and… "Wait, what?" The blond senshi looked up at her like she was nuts. "A… cat? How did you become a cat? D'you mean like a cat cat, or one of those magical talking cats?" Either she was having him on or she'd led a very interesting life as a senshi. Iris_virus Ahahahah weird topics of conversation FTW! XD

"It can get torn up quite a bit." She replied thoughtfully. Certainly she'd been through many a battle where her clothing got torn, ripped, or otherwise greatly messed up. "But when too much is gone then poof." Juno herself didn't seem particularly clear on the details, and after a moment she instead relied on the evidence offering a wide shrug of her broad shoulders. "One time, when I was not super, because of claws my whole top was torn off. And then there I was, in school uniform again." A top didn't really sound like much, but considering how.. lacking her fuku was the complete loss of her collar, brooch, and fuku top had apparently been enough.
"I know for certain, if you get too tired you will become un-power too. But I was not tired that day. So outfit is the only thing that makes sense."
Mysteries about the mechanics were quickly forgotten by Juno however as he agreed to her experiment, offering a low and amused chuckle in delight. Passion and endurance were certainly the things that pleased her the most about Rob, especially when it came to more intimate play. So to see what would become of that when spurred on by the extra strength and stamina of being a senshi. It was almost an enticing enough idea to just drop their planned patrol and put it to the test now. But she had to work early in the morning...
"We will have to find some time to test it out then." She agreed with a wink, as she began to walk forward, expecting he'd follow. There was at least enough time to hunt out some bad guys, find some other was to release the adreneline that was beginning to pulse through her thanks to their conversation and her imagination.
The question of 'how' she became a cat was a clearly logical one. Yet the look she gave him, half laugh and half confusion as she continued to try and drag him along with her as she stared back at him was like he was the illogical one. "I do not know how I became cat. Just one day I was walking and then I am talking cat like Guardians."
"And then after a few weeks I was suddenly human again." She didn't really bother herself with details like 'why' or 'how'. While most of the others affected were searching for help or answers Juno had, unsurprisingly, be playing around with her new form. Catching and eating mice. Climbing trees. Playing in leaf piles and enjoying belly scratches.
"There were handful of others that became cat too. I met senshi, knight, and chibi senshi who were all cats too. This was many years ago though."

Puck tried to imagine Juno getting her top ripped off and suddenly becoming a schoolgirl again in the middle of battle. "That must have been… well, bloody inconvenient," was the only way he could phrase it. Embarrassing? Not for the Brazilian senshi. He was pretty sure she could hold her own in a fight without benefit of the added strength and speed of being powered up. "Yes, we will," he chuckled as he followed her, keeping up with her long strides. The idea of playing with stripping off their fukus while at the same time playing with each other was definitely appealing to him, giving him a bit of an adrenaline rush as well. They would have to be careful to do it in a safe place, or as safe as they could manage, to avoid getting caught out by some youma or Negaverse agent. So many things to be careful of, including apparently getting too tired. Though that was half the fun of it all. As she told him about the time she had become a cat, he found himself growing more and more curious about the strange life he now led. People changing into cats randomly, fighting monsters and Negas, becoming stronger and faster than any normal human, travelling in a blink to another world, and these weird little half-memories he'd experienced there… He never imagined he'd be dealing with all this and more since coming to Destiny City. And the longer he thought about it, the more he realized that he rather enjoyed it. Hell, it was better than moping about the house depressed and homesick and angry. And he rather enjoyed the company he was keeping these days. Between his childhood friend Sidney (who it turned out was also a senshi) to his new friend Juno/Aitana, he had nearly as much of a social life as he'd had back in London. "You got any more interesting stories to tell me, or things I should be careful of now?" he asked Juno with a grin as they walked.

"Yeah, lucky it was just youma." She regarded mildly to accurate choice of words, shrugging with mild amusement.
It was a power walk at best - not really in the mood for a relaxing stroll but by no means a run, and she flashed him another smile as he moved to keep pace with her.
The question about stories brought forth a loud round of giggling from her however, her eyes lifting skyward in momentary thought. "I probably have more stories than there are hours in night. Many things happen in 5 years. Especially when you are busy girl like me."
"There are always weird youmas... like giant cake youma.. or train youma.. or even.. teenage singer youma...?"
After a moment her eyes widened however, a proud and defiant smirk weaseling it's way across his face. "When I was 15, I fought great wrestling champion Don Diablos in large wrestling match of doom." It wasn't like it was a huge secret or anything, with all her pride she'd most certainly blabbed to everyone at school about it for many weeks afterwards. She'd almost won after all. She's almost even gotten her hands on that crystal for Chibimoon....
"I was the Acrobatic Annihilator. There were over two dozen that fought against his, but I was one of the final ones standing when we knocked him out." The information was accompanied of course by some chest puffing and mild punches out into the air in front of her. She didn't even need to ask the next question, her expression clearly conveying the message 'Impressive, no?'.
The question of carefulness had not been ignored however and she thought momentarily about it. She'd warned about starseeds, weapons, teleportation, getting tired and powering down. She was actually surprised, now that she thought back about it how much information she'd been able to give him in their patrols together, never really considering herself much of a teacher.
An arm whipped out reaching in an attempt to hook him within it and draw him up against her (even though it totally knocked her off kilter and made her slow down and almost pause in her gait not to trip), the knuckles of her other hand pressing a soft and playful punch against his chest. "I do not know that I can teach you much more. You already know most important rule. Punch first, ask questions later."
"You do not have to be careful if you do not give enemy chance to trick or get you in first place."

Puck listened as Juno recounted the tale of the Acrobatic Annihilator -- aka her -- defeating wrestling champion Don Diablos, a grin crossing his lips. He wasn't surprised that she'd beaten him; she was a tough fighter, persistent and strong. And acrobatic, couldn't forget that. "That is quite impressive," he beamed at her pleased expression and air-punching. "You should well be proud!" Juno/Aitana was a special one indeed. He'd decided that early on, and every story she told, every new thing he learned about her, only reinforced that opinion. She was strong and passionate, in every sense of the word -- passionate about life, about fighting, about… well, about other things. And he was growing increasingly fond of her for all these reasons. He chuffed softly as he thought; he never imagined he'd fall for anyone, let alone someone like her. Yet that was what it felt like he was doing. He'd have to give this some consideration. Suddenly Puck found himself with an arm hooked around his shoulders, being pulled into Juno's side, and a playful punch delivered to his chest. He reflexively slung his arm around her waist to steady both himself and her as she slowed her gait. Punch first, ask questions later. Those sounded like words to live by. "That is the best advice anyone has ever given me," he grinned, tugging her close. "So you're saying I just about have the hang of all this?"

A lot of that defeat had come at the hands of so many people attacking at once and the eventual debris filled falling apart of the arena they were fighting in. But that didn't mean Juno wouldn't happily take credit for more of it then she'd probably deserved, especially not when he was the one she was trying to impress. Regardless though, it'd been a tough fought battle, especially for a 15 year old girl.
She expected no less then for him to return her playfulness and as his arm locked around her waist and tugged she laughed a little, grappling a bit more to press her knuckles into that mop of dreadlocks, which almost certainly protected him from the mild noogie she attempted.
Playful roughness aside, her free hand fell downward, lingering for a just a moment on his collarbone before it finally retracted. While most would probably disagree that her advice was good or solid she very much believed it, and was happy he seemed to as well.
"You were ahead of the game before you ever start being a senshi." She gushed genuinely. "So is no wonder you would be 'top of the class' and figure it out so quickly."
"Guess we are truly equals now, yes?" Well.. baring the whole 'super' thing. But she had faith that that would come soon enough for Puck too. tatterpixie Whenever you want to work this towards a 'wrap' (sooner or later, I certainly don't mind playing 5ever) I figure we can have them notice a chaotic aura and run off after it. heart Unless you have a different idea/something else comes up.

Laughing, Puck pawed playfully at Juno's arm as she gave him a noogie on the top of his head. "Damn it, woman, you're cheating!" he teased. "You've got height and reach on me!" He felt her fingers linger on him and for a moment contemplated suggesting they scrap their plans to patrol for a cozy night in. But duty took priority, at least for tonight. Slipping his arm from around Juno, he grinned up at her. "I had a good teacher. I honestly don't think I could have got as far as I have without your help." He laughed again. "That includes pounding the crap out of me in sparring sessions. But yeah, you have helped so much. Thank you," he said sincerely. Suddenly he got that slight fur-rubbed-the-wrong-way sensation tingling over him that always meant there was a Chaos agent somewhere nearby. "D'you feel that?" he asked, voice low as he looked around. Iris_virus I think that's a great idea! heart Maybe wrap in a post or two? Then we can start another one, if you like heart

There may have been just a little bit of maniacal laughter that accompanied his struggling and teasing as she'd messed with him, but it had clearly ended and shifted to a more peaceful and amused demeanor. Even more so when he said something very strange. A good teacher.
Never in her life would she have considered herself such a thing. Even in the fields she excelled, like when they'd paired up into small groups for volleyball it hadn't really worked out. She was harsh and unyielding, careless and bored with things like teaching the fundamentals. Maybe she just needed a special kind of 'student'. Yeah, that was probably more like it. He'd taught her plenty too over the months so it seemed it was all about finding the right people. In the back of her mind she wondered if there were others like them out there, fledgling senshi that were worth half a damn and worth offering her special brand of 'training'. It was worth looking at least.
"I still plan to pound the crap out of you." She stated matter of factly, before her grin betrayed her seriousness. "As long as you do same." She was referring to sparring of course, but the double entendre of the statement was simple enough for even her to get and be amused about.
Juno had, in fact, been about to try and goud him into a little half assed sparring when suddenly his demeanor changed and she too looked around, finally noticing the ever slight presence of a chaotic aura in the distance.
Her voice lowered to match his, giving a swift nod, before pivoting to face the direction with her quiet, but cheery taunt before bolting off in the direction of the aura. "But hurry. If I find it first I might not be able to save any left for you." tatterpixie Sounds like a good wrap to me (either my post or with one final one of your own) heart
