Stonehenge walked through the street briskly, eyes focused around him. He'd yet to rn into trouble, yet to meet enemies, but the page didn't really enjoy being cautious. Keen eyes took in his surroundings, feeling out a new section of the city every time he went out, and Stonehenge was fine memorizing an area at a time. There was no sense getting lowt, and he finally paused in front of a book store, musing idly as he glanced in the window. Fascinating. "Mmm. Perhaps I need a journal to record my observations."

She hadn't sensed any Chaos signatures, so Hyakutake was somewhere between relieved and disappointed. Relieved because it meant they were keeping their noses out of the area. Disappointed because it meant she couldn't punch a Nega agent. The small Order signature she felt made her curious, though, and she made her way towards it, raising a brow at the knight as she leaned against a building. "Hello there. You're a new face. Hyakutake, senshi of willows."

Stonehenge looked up from his thinking before looking to Hyakutake. Senshi? Regardless, she seemed an ally, and before he knew it, he flashed a wide grin, turning and bowing deeply to the Senshi with a warm grin and a flair of the theatric. "Stonehenge, Page of my lady Polaris, at your humble service, my dear." He drawled warmly. The page rose, and beamed, offering a hand. "Charmed to meet you, Hyakutake."

Oh. Oh no. He was one of those. One of those she had prayed she'd gotten away from when she stopped going to so many 'high society' things. "Nice to meet you, as well." She took the offered hand, but in a handshake, not giving him a chance to be the 'gallant gentleman'. She was not dealing with one of those that night. "So are you new to this?"

Stonehenge continued without a hitch, the smile not at all wavering. Some ladies weren't so old fashioned, or perhaps she was perhaps more comfortable with a handshake. Regardless, he wasn't offended, offering a hearty handshake warmly, studying her face. Nothing seemed to stand out, but she did seem polite. "Indeed. I'm considering buying a journal to record observatuons, identify trends, and look for ways to ensure things are managed properly for myself." Because damned if he wasn't going to try keeping composed. He wasm truly! HE COULD PLAN, and that was a skill he felt proud of. "And you? Are you new as well Miss Hyakutake?"

"That actually sounds like a good idea." Okay, while he might be one of those, he at least seemed to have his s**t together. That was good. They needed more people with their s**t together in this war. Perhaps she could get him involved with the Blackwatch..."Me? No, I've been doing this about a year now." A year of chaos, madness, and mayhem...it was weird to think about.

"A year?!" Stonehenge was.. Well, invredulous. A year of war, inumum. Really? And how many victories? How many losseds? No, no he was not happy and the page frowned, shaking his head, a look of plain indignance crossing his face. "Are we at least doing well ior is some incompetant letting us flounder? Please tell me we're organized on a large scale." Because he knew his Princess was interested in looking after her knights, but if there was no larger form of organization, he was not going to be pleased. A lack of Organization begged for defeat! Fr loss! He was not letting a bunch of half-wits let him die for baseless reasons! He had sister and cousins to think of gods damnit.

Huh. The kid could think! Good, goooooooood! "There's not a whole lot of organization right now, and if you haven't noticed, the public opinion of us has been skewed thanks to our enemies." She sighed, shaking her head. "There is a group that's trying to bring more organization, but it's been...hard. And not very active for a lot of reasons. I'm going to try getting it more active, though." She really wanted to see the Blackwatch succeed. She really did.

" Really?!" The boy sputtered. "But organization can only help. If only a small group is bothering I can't help but fear that we've been recruiting... Recruiting imbeciles." Stonehenge sputtered. "Present company excluded, but..." Oh, he could not believe this. He needed to form plans. PLANS!

"That's what the Blackwatch is trying to achieve." She smiled slightly. "I can work on getting you in touch with one of the leaders of it? If there's more of us active, there's more chance of us getting organized." Maybe they could finally start working towards getting the rest of Order together...

"But can we be sure these leaders are effective if they are not managing to keep their own members active already?" Stonehenge asked calmly. "Organization requires significant time and dedication, after all. Are they fulfilling their role?" Was he being judgemental? Maybe a lot, but he had GOOD REASON. He wasn't bending over for anyone whom wasn't fulfilling obligations and duties after all.

"They try, but you can only do so much if people don't go along with it." She shrugged. "One of the biggest things that sets us apart from the other side is that while we Awaken without our consent...everything else we do is of our own free will. We choose what we do with our newfound powers and abilities and identities." Hyakutake spread her arms a bit in front of her, palms up. "But if more of us show we are willing to put in the work, are willing to work with the leaders, we'll bring more people into the fold. Inspire more people. As we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same."

"A proper leader wouldn't face such difficulties on a grand scale." Stonehend's brows raised idly. She was cute, but he was beginning to feel talked down on, and his pride would not allow it, the expression on his face becoming unreadable. Why. Why did she seem to thing he was an idiot? Was Order full of idiots? Gods damnit he had a team of morons.

Hyakutake sighed, rubbing a temple. "That's only how it works in stories. Every leader has difficulties, especially when you're dealing with a bunch of folks who are, honestly, mostly teenagers, college kids, and adult children. What they need more of is people who aren't afraid to buckle down and do the work, who care more about keeping people safe or beating down the enemy than avoiding scarring their pretty faces." The Negaverse certainly didn't seem adverse to beating on them! "You seem competent, and interested in doing this right. In actually helping instead of just fawning over the fact you're a magical boy now. So...wanna help get a group back in order and help make the Negaverse wish they never left their dark hole?"

"A leader of any quality also has thr ability to handle the problems of untrained fellows, including those whom cannot possibly seem to behave unsupervised." Like his grandfather, bless the man, or himself. Even Reynard was far more competant, and the page sighed in exasperation. But as far as he knew, he was the only magic person in his family and that left the very adfult responsibility of protection on his shoulders, a load he carried firmly. He did not look at all convinced, instead eyes half-lidded in an expression of one trying to determine how to be polite but craving the ability to point out his thoughts. Like the fact leaders needed a firm hand and a solid foundation - clearly lacking in what Hyakutake's proposal. "It doesn't sound particularly well structured." He said, remaining as polite as able. "And I'd be hard pressed to handle your leader or leaders in truth. I've little tolerance for incompetance. Again, no insult to you, so much as my observations of your descriptions."
