Caia was still getting used to the whole Senshi thing, but he was starting to get a little more confidence. Being powered up meant more danger, but it also meant he had more power to defend himself. It was sort of win-win, lose-lose. Kind of a little more 'lose' right now because he wasn't really a very good hero and so, hadn't really done anything good--plus, he was sneaking around and hoping desperately that his brother wouldn't notice.
Jeremy had already spent the past week fretting over his younger brother after he was sick from that bat bite, so now that he was better he was hoping Jeremy might enjoy some time to himself--and not be terribly suspicious if Myles was out late.
Caia was getting a little better with powering up, but he was still fairly oblivious to energy signatures. He was getting used to feeling energy signatures but was still having trouble telling who was who, so when he realized there was someone else in the park with him, it didn't even click that it wasn't a Senshi or Knight.
Which is how he wound up jumping over a bush, right in front of a Negaverse agent. He had been in the forested area and moved to the sidewalk when he felt something but paused when he saw her. "Oh," he said after a second of scrutinizing. "...You are...a Negaverse agent, aren't you?"

Tinaksite wasn’t nearly as skilled as Caia in the art of sensing other signatures nearby, though maybe that was because she simply didn’t care all that much. When the senshi landed in front of her, her eyes narrowed and a frown crossed her face.
Ah! So he thought he had a leg up on her by knowing she was a Negaverse Agent…or whatever. Well, two could play at that game, and she would.
Quietly, she summoned her weapon and let it hang loosely in her hand while nodding. “Yes. And you are a senshi. I am not stupid. I know what you are.”
There. Now she clearly had the upper hand in all of this, now she was the winner by default! That was how it should always be. For she was mighty. She was ferocious. She was…
…Actually she was kind of hungry.

Caia blinked, seeming surprised. "What?" he asked blankly--not at her accurately identifying him, but instead at the weapon she had just summoned. He blinked his eyes and then promptly rubbed a them. When he lowered his hands, his eyes were still trained on her weapon.
"Where were you hiding that? --Was that a magic trick?" he asked, as if he had forgotten they were fighting on opposite sides in this war. He didn't seem condescending--he seemed truly impressed at that ability and looked up at her, eager for an answer.

Tinaksites eyebrows furrowed and she scoffed. He was mocking her, completely mocking her. “It is not a magic trick, senshi. It is my weapon, fear it, it is dangerous.”
It wasn’t really dangerous at all…but he didn’t have to know that…and if he thought it was so neat, well…
She could show him how ‘neat’ it was. Quickly she moved closer and smacked the senshi in the face with the dumb little tissue ghost. “You see? Fear it. I do not fear you, I will never fear you, Senshi. I wasn’t hiding it either…it just wasn’t here. I made it come here. It is my weapon so I may defeat you.”
The lieutenant made to hit him with the dumb little weapon again, and seemed quite pleased with her own cunning.

Caia didn’t know what he was expecting when she hit him--bright lights? An explosion? Pain?
He braced for the worst but wound up confused. He didn’t even pull away when she hit him again, instead staring sort of blankly at her and then the weapon.
“...Oh,” he said.
His eyes flicked to hers and then the weapon and he finally reached up a hand to rub at the area. “That’s an interesting weapon,” he said after a few seconds. Unwilling for an awkward silence to develop, and yet completely honestly, he continued, “Did you make it yourself? He has a very cute face.”
He seemed like he was trying to forgive the fact that she just hit him with a ghost she called a weapon; it seemed to be working, since he was even smiling.

Tinaksites eyebrows furrowed and she looked absolutely unhappy. He was mocking her. Again. How…how dare he? Didn’t he know anything?
“I did not make this. It was bestowed upon me by the pirate. The pirate that gave me the invitation to the big party, and you are not invited to the party, you are the enemy that must be eliminated so that we may all party. You know nothing, senshi. Clearly you know absolutely nothing!”
The lieutenant held the stupid weapon close to her chest, as though protecting it from his mocking words. It wasn’t cute. Well, maybe it was a little cute but that was besides the point. It was a weapon that would one day be mighty, the Pirate had said so, hadn’t he?
Well. Maybe she should stop relying on the weapon, and instead rely on her own strength.
Before saying another word, Tinaksite curled her hand into a fist and brought it right into the senshis stomach.
See if he smiled now.

Caia immediately 'Oof'-ed at the blow to his stomach; he had instinctively reached out his hands to grab hers, and while it lessened impact, it didn't stop it from hurting.
"A pirate gave you a ghost and invited you to a party?" he asked, and while he was somewhat skeptical, he still pried her hand out of his gut and rubbed his stomach gingerly. "All I got was a talking cat and a pen that doesn't write. Can we not fight? I don't want to stop your party, and if you try and hit me one more time, I'm going to have to use my magic on you. And I don't want to do that, you might get hurt"
Though, truthfully, he had no idea what his magic even did. He was barely threatening; he was still wearing a sheepishly smile and kept rubbing at his stomach as if that would dispel the pain.

A triumphant grin spread across Tinaksite’s face when the senshi made the oof sound, and she thought for sure that she won, that he would run home crying now and that would be one more step towards the best party…but then he grabbed her hand and insulted her again! And threatened her! And kept smiling!
She was getting very, very tired of his smiling.
“You…you have nothing to smile about! You have no right to threaten me. You are annoying and rude and ugly! I will make sure you are destroyed and that you never come back again! I will hit you until you turn to mush!”
Her voice grew higher in pitch and she stamped her foot, hand going out to hit him around the face this time.
“Just give up! I will win, Senshi!”

"What!" Caia exclaimed, immediately jerking his hand up to swat at hers. It didn't do damage, but it was enough to prevent her from hitting him in the face.
"You are not nice! I am not annoying or rude or ugly! And I certainly won't let you make me mush! And I'm not giving up, but I am not going to let you ruin my evening! I'll talk to you again when you learn some manners! --And I wasn't insulting your ghost, I think he's really cute!"
But Caia wasn't going to have a productive night if he stayed out fighting. He needed a distraction--or to buy some time. "Caia Cardinal Aid!" he shouted, even as he started to take a step back.
Two glittering cardinals suddenly flickered into existence and swarmed towards the Lieutenant. They were singing loudly, circling around Tinaksite's face. They didn't seem to have any magical abilities beyond being annoying--but it was enough for him; with them flying in her line of vision, he figured he could make a clean escape.
"Bye!" he called before promptly turning on his heels and bolting in the opposite direction.

Birds! There were birds! For a moment, Tinaksite reached her arms up to cover her face, and when she didn’t feel a bunch of small beaks and talons trying to kill her, she moved her hands and raised her tissue ghost, moving to hit the birds as Caia’s attack dissipated.
She did it! She had won! She had viciously beat down another senshi and was one step closer to getting to have the big costume party that she so desperately wanted.
She would have to start keeping a record of those she had vanquished…she was quite sure that her pirate would want to know all about it. He had been there when she lost the fight in the dark place…he had been there cheering her on…and she really did not want to let him down at all.
Quietly, the lieutenant turned and began to make her way home, a pleased smile on her face. Tonight she deserved some waffles.
