Welcome to Gaia! ::

To say the cold bothered him anymore was both a truth and a lie. It bothered him the way a hot day did. Too much, it hindered. But as Castor, he'd gotten used to being in his fuku, and as a royal, to the pantless state. But on that same coin, he strode in a world covered in snow half the year in that same bare royal attire.

Powering up just outside his usual area, he'd heard rumor of increased nightly activity, and when it came too close to something he had a vested interest in, Castor would have rather remove a threat than sit idle and let it fester under the surface. As he let magic roll over him, the wing bow behind him soft on his arms, he felt the signal of another order member nearing. Taking the time to begin his usual stretching, blue eyes looked up to find himself in the presences of another eternal, one he didn't rightly know.

Clearly a problem.

The smile that was given to every woman, Castor winked.
"Hey there sweetness, what can I do you for?" She was- her fuku didn't give her power away.
"Prince Castor of Hail, at your service."

He laughed, getting closer feeling that it was only natural when he was trying to be friendly, especially towards someone who didn't have their ear near a serpent's tongue so to say.

"My signature?" He have a shrug, "Royals tend to flux. We either pass as eternals or decide to become fires for the moths of chaos. Bane and boon really. The name's cute though- Harmonia the goddess of peace. Fitting. Castor was more a tragic figure if anything." Close enough now, he reached down, grabbing her hand and planting a kiss to it with all the charm his Italian heritage could afford him.

"It's alright that you don't know me. I'm old blood in a way- back from when Hillworth had beasts in it's backdoors and entire schools vanished overnight. When Nealite was the wife of Charonite and Beryl the boogyman queen." When their world had seemed grim yet hopeful, rather than just grim.

"I lost my wife a few years ago and took a sabbatical in Europe. Not as many agents but-" He trailed off. There were no cats he knew of out there. And what senshi there were lived in hiding.
"I've returned and thats whats important. I don't mind talking about myself or my past really. It's fine. Even as a royal I don't know everyone obviously enough."

She was younger but he figured some light hearted flattery couldn't hurt.

"But as a prince, I'd be poor nobility not to escort you through the night." he winked at her. "Lead the way- tell me about your power, what you can do. If you ask nicely I'd even take you to my home fair lady Harmonia." He pointed upwards making it clear which home he was meaning.

Waving it off, he didn't think senshi should know him. Of him yes. But him personally was asking a bit much. He did find Harmonia's near constant talk a bit fun though. It had been a long time since he'd joined with one of the more youthful senshi. At least one that had some basic humility.

Not that he could really talk on matters such of ego.

As she did finish her explanation the man made a show of the hum of contemplation and the rub of his chin in thought. She was someone who needed a partner and could redirect hostilities? He wasn't the type who's likely be able to draw out her best potential. A knight perhaps or a senshi that was more defense oriented.
"Our magics are always useful- it is simply a matter of figuring out how to maximize their effectiveness. In example I summon hail. In battle this can be used to harm or deter the use of certain pathways, guiding my enemy into a trap or to a more strategic location."

Following her lead, Castor looked to the distance, a flicker of chaos before it vanished. Perhaps it was just sizing them up- or calling for aid.
"And you'd be wrong. Even as a royal I'm not invincible. Rule one of your magic- do not doubt what it can do. That said, have you ever used it on yourself?" He'd done it once on purpose.

One time was enough when it came to understanding his magic.

Another hum, Castor considered what she described. She'd not make much headway on her own, not without resorting to direct physical aggression to which she'd be at a disadvantage most of the time. She didn't seem the type to get that level of aggression but these days it was better to know than make assumptions.

"At least comfort this old blood with being on some sort of training regimen. If there is one thing that makes me worry its senshi who lack formal training in self defense. Our magics and super human healing is meaningless unless we actively seek ways to protect ourselves." It was a truth. Most did but others thought that street fighting was enough. It wasn't. Instinct only got you so far.

"And yes and no. Hail is the core of who I am. My basic and super attacks summon it directly, my eternal attack is one that uses my body as a conduit." his hand opened and closed. "I coat my fist in ice before attacking. A double edge sword often enough, but when done right, my enemy does not recover. They stay where they fall." A polite way of saying he used it in a rather brutally effective manner.

"As a royal, my magic is not that limited however. I can use my tiara or laurels to kill youma with ease. I can also summon an armor upon my body to place myself in the heat of battle without worry of being hindered for a short while. My crystal however-" He smiled. "My crystal summons hail far greater and more devastating than any senshi magic. In theory, I could destroy a decent part of the city if I willed it."

He was proud of such a fact.
"It is my magic. I am a prince from an empire lost to chaos and time- so my magic was made to provide me with the tools to accomplish my goals. Our magic is who we are and what we are. I have come to embrace that part of myself. For better and worse."

"I can help you, as can many others. As a civilian, self defense is a great way to start. I mean, even if you were not a senshi, its a good thing to know."

Silence between them he took a while to find his answer for her question. It wasnt that it was hard just that it was not simple.
"Years." He shook his head.

"I still cannot claim a mastery- I am in control now, I direct the eb and flow, but the true power and potential is still out of reach. For now, we are limited, but we should always strive to become better. That said, it's late." He smiled.

"Shouldn't you be heading home?"

A soft smile crept across his face.
"Go home then. I'll stand by until I can't sense you. If anything shows I'll take care of it." A hand rose up to pat her on the shoulder.

"Stay safe alright?"
