Welcome to Gaia! ::

Nirvana had taken to doing patrols after his shifts were over. The long hours he put in seemed to give him a proper alibi when Alec by his mother where he had been. This wad not to say that she was overly protective, oh no, she was perhaps abit too shoft with get eldest child. Though Gabriel was the one that helped out the most when his father was out of town. That alone was a blessing.

Tonight, he had taken off abit earlier than normal. He had had some projects to finish for a class the next morning. But now he rested, patched in the branches of a large oak near the pond. He blended well with the leaves, their changing colors matching the green, crimson, and gold that mark his planet.

He was growing into his role, taking on that responsibility as protector and taking it to heart. He already had one dear friend to protect, as well as family, and that gave him purpose. Purpose...

He shook his head as he tried to get the images of past dreams from his mind. He still needed to take the time to explore them, and he was beginning to think that the answers might lay in Nirvana.

A rustle of the leaves brought him back into his mind. He on alert as he braved himself on the branches. He did not sense any youma, not did he see any from his vantage point, but perhaps this time he was lucky enough to get a true negaverse flunky to battle.

There was a glint in his eye at the thought, something in him burned with disgust for the forces that fought against the light. Something deepest than just the normal hate for them, and he did not know why. Perhaps he would learn in time, learn why these feeling manifested in him now. Sooner rather than later was sounding better all the time.

He kept from the tree in which he was hiding. He landing in one of the many bushes that lay behind the young senshi. He watched her through the branches, his pale blue eyes catching the moonlight just enough to shine. "Who are you? Chaos?" His voice was a soft, deep, whisper

There was still a wariness about him, he had learned not to trust, but all the same, he wanted to believe that this girl before him was good. He reached out, feeling for her signature, not feeling the burning of chaos in her, perhaps, just perhaps he had found another ally.

He moved from the bushes, his tall, thin frame pale against the dark lanes. Once clear, he looked her over, giving the small, young girl a slight bow. "Forgive my wary nature. I have not had much luck in meeting allies."

I'm fact, Camelot and Phact were the only allies that he currently had. It was a good thing, but they are hardly enough to take down the Negaverse. "I am Nirvana, of Pluto. Again i all for your forgiveness, miss Sabine."

It was only on the second request that he went to a knee and smiled. He was a royal knight in his mind, having had years to perfect the act because odd his young sister. So ironic it was that he was destined to hold the title proper.

The young man noted the girl's faint blush, and it amused him. He had never really been considered much more than a nerd or a bad boy, but the idea that this little one found him attractive was certainly a compliment. "Then Sabine it is. I do not have many friends at this time, so to call you one would certainly be an honor."

He rose from his knee, standing a good 6 feet tall in his flats. He looked down to the small girl and offered to take her hand before placing a kiss on it. "You are still too kind for forgiving me this slight. But...I do think if you wish it..I will be your protector on this patrol?" He winked, offering a smile on those dark, painted lips. Even he knew he was a chronic flirt, but in the end, it did little harm, and what was wrong with building up the young woman's self esteem, hmm? All women wanted to feel beautiful, and Gabriel was a knight in shining armor....or rather...silk.

Nirvana was no fool, and when he looked into the young woman's eyes he knew he had over stepped. He lowered his hand and took a step back from the young woman. Perhaps kindness was wasted on the young, and this world had jaded so many that even a kind word set another on edge.

"I did not mean to sound threatening. I have a younger sister myself, and i know that I would not like her roaming about the night alone as you are." He ran a hand through his hair, a blush coming to his cheeks as he tried to regain his composure. He had been accused of many things, but this was certainly new.

He slowly moved back abit more, the some that had been in his eyes note gone. "I leave you to your patrol then. Best of luck to you, young miss Sabine" with haste he took once more to the trees. Leaping higher than before, moving further into the park proper. His pride had been wounded. No, not his pride, his soul. To be accused of such a horrible thing was near heartbreaking, and all he could see was Chantal in that young girl's eyes.

He rested in the branches of one is the tallest trees. His eyes looking up toward the stars as he did his best to calm himself. He could hear the young girl following him. He could hear her cries, but all the same he feared stopping, feared turning around. He let out one shaking breath, his eyes closing as he thought out loud "I am a true knight, a protector and guardian. I am to be that which most men wish they were and yet i sit here, scared of a young woman because she robbed my pride."

He took in another deep breath before falling backward from the branches, falling down what seemed forever before he flipped and landed on all fours before her. His hair covered his face, hiding the pain he still knew to be in them. "You called me, miss Sabine?" His voice was deep like rolling thunder, but the lit of tease was now gone, replaced with a much more somber tone.

The young knight lifted his eyes to look at the young woman that stood before him. He knew that perhaps he was being far too touchy about this, but pride was pride, and the pain in his heart would not be quelled by just her simple words.

"To say that your accusations cut me deeply is an understatement, miss Sabine. Though I understand that my ways of showing kindness and concern might come off to a more modern minded woman, as dangerous. I did not intend any such thing, and frankly, I would sooner feed myself to the Negaverse than harm another such as yourself." He shuddered at the mere idea. The thought ask but sickening to him.

He sighed and feel to one knee before her. His head lowered, the dark hair covering most of his face. "I accept your words, but I do not know if it heals my heart. You dealt quite the blow." His eyes looked up at her, letting her see the pain in them. It was the pain of a big brother. The pain of being told he was a cad.
