Kari was feeling better. Bestla had made her feel better, had made some of her fears subside. She was a protector, she was someone who had to be there to help the people who couldn’t help themselves.
She was holding on to this small bit of confidence, and was trying her hardest to cushion it and let it grow to something bigger, to something it had been at one point, but it was still such a fragile thing. Of course, now that she was nursing this confidence, she felt someone nearby who could have the power to break it.
There was the feeling of someone with chaos in them, a Negaverse agent, no doubt. She was torn between turning and getting the heck out of there, and waiting until she had grown the little spark into a larger flame…or going and trying again to do what needed to be done.
After a moment of deliberation, she drew in a breath, and made her way towards the agent, half hoping that it was nothing more than Paracelsian. She could deal with that. Could deal with him. Upon getting closer, she saw that it was not the agent she had hoped, but in fact it was a…woman. A blonde woman, who didn’t look remotely dangerous.
Kari relaxed, more than she cared to admit. Maybe she could deal with this Agent too. “Uh. Hello there.”

Stellerite preferred nights that were relatively uneventful, when she could weasel her way into bars and prey upon the men who thought she was a young, dumb blonde they could take advantage of. If only they understood that everything about the young woman was a trap, a snare set to enclose around them and ruin them as soon as she saw fit.
She'd just finished a round of energy draining, a few starseed pulls too because some of those lecherous men had been downright vile and she had no interest in keeping them around, and had taken to the streets again.
There was a shiver of delight that spiraled down her spine when she felt the pulse of something sweet and clean, unlike the familiar dark and smokiness that she associated with her fellow agents. Wiping her mouth, she turned at the sound of someone calling to her and she made her eyes wide, shy smile on her lips as she seemed to close into herself.
"H-hello?" She said, pretending to be meek as she edged forward to stand beneath a streetlamp. "Oh," she gasped, making herself flush. "H-hi! You're...cute."
Flattery always got her a long way.

This…this wasn’t what she had been expecting. Not at all was this anything like what she had been expecting. “I…what?” Kari felt her own cheeks heat up as the words really registered with her. “I…oh. Thank you. You’re cute too.” She blinked and frowned slightly, her mind catching up to her own mouth. “I mean, I uh.”
Wow. This wasn’t going at all as planned. “So uh…you…you’re up to no good…or…?”
She couldn’t even look the lieutenant in the face, she felt so embarrassed. Her eyes fell to the hem of her fuku, hands going to pick at some of the stitches.
If she unraveled it…would it mend itself? Was there just magical menders somewhere who fixed all the broken things about everyone’s outfits…?
Why hadn’t she just gone home…

Even when she tipped her chin down to look shy, Stella was watching the senshi because she was ever curious as to how people would take her. She could be anything they wanted, she just needed to figure out what that was.
Oh.
You're cute too.
Bingo.
Stellerite's lips quirked upward, blonde eyebrows raising as as she let her face light up. "Really?" She made sure to sound hopeful, her pace quickening before she purposely hesitated and looked like maybe she shouldn't rush forward.
"Oh. No. I mean, I'm supposed to but..." her lip wobbled a bit and she clutched her wrist, pressing the knuckles of her other hand against her chest. "It's so hard."

What? Kari’s head shot up and she looked at the lieutenant, frowning quizzically. “You…you’re supposed to what?”
She was ignoring the tone of the blonde’s voice when she said really, there was nothing she needed to hear in that tone. Nothing she wanted to hear. This was just going to get her into trouble. “Is uh…is everything okay? What’s hard…? What’s wrong?”
The senshi took a step towards the girl and held out a hand, frowning. There was something wrong here…and she had to put her own worries and insecurities aside and figure out what was wrong…hell…couldn’t…couldn’t the people on the other team…couldn’t they be the ones who needed help too? Couldn’t this be her job too?”
“What can I do for you? What’s going on?”

Pointedly looking at the senshi's hand with awe and surprise, Stellerite stepped forward and slid hers into it, automatically moving to fight her fingers between the spaces of Kari's. "I have to meet my quota," she said quietly, "but I don't want to hurt anyone."
A half-truth, which all good lies were based upon. Mostly, Stella didn't want to be the one that got hurt.
"Would you help me? You look really nice and...and you're really cute." Stella reached up to gently stroke one of those locks of hair that framed Kari's face. "Oh! I'm...Stellerite, but you should call me Stella, cause you'll be my friend right?"

Oh. Kari blinked in surprise as her hand was not only taken, but fingers laced in hers. Oh…Her hair was stroked…and…and this was nothing more than someone needing an energy donation! Oh she could do that, she had done it before and she was sure she would do it again.
“Of course I’ll help you, don’t worry about that. You just need energy, right? I’d rather you take mine, it’s so much better you taking mine than you taking someone else’s. I can handle it, I’ve donated my energy many times before, so please…don’t worry.”
She squeezed the hand that she somehow ended up holding and looked into the bright blue eyes of the lieutenant.
And she called her cute again…and she didn’t know how to deal with that…but it made her stomach do a stupid flip flop…and she hoped she wasn’t getting feelings for yet another Negaverser…this was becoming a very bad, bad trend.

"Really?!" Stella gasped, letting herself look delighted as she let go to throw her arms around the other woman. "Oh, you're the best!" She breathed, making a point to press her nose into the line of Kari's neck. Maybe she was going too far, but she wanted to test the boundaries while she still could.
Pulling away, Stella found Kari's hand and laced their fingers together, squeezing them as she beamed at the other girl.
"Oh, um. You still haven't told me your name." Stella bit down on her lip like a shy schoolgirl. "And..." Her cheeks flushed. "I haven't drained anyone...normally?"
Not that she knew what Kari thought was 'normal'.

Kari gave a slightly nervous sounding laugh and returned the hug, closing her eyes briefly. She was kind of disappointed when the other pulled away, and thought it was kind of amusing that the last three encounters she had had resulted in hugs at some point in time during them…maybe she was starting to really enjoy hugging people…even bad people.
“Oh, I’m Sailor Kari, Senshi of Loyalty. It’s nice to meet you…Stella…right?” She couldn’t help the smile that flitted across her face.
“What do you mean you haven’t…drained anyone normally? Like…you’ve never asked for someone’s energy and taken it…? Like, you just stole it or something?” When Paracelsian had done it, he just had to hold her hand and then…he took it. And it turned into a ball in his hand and…she got weaker…
He hadn’t made it seem difficult at all.
“I mean, just do it like you normally do it, I’m fine. I’ll be fine.”

Delight fluttered through Stellerite as she realized the type of person she'd just lured into her web. Poor little Kari was doomed as long as she remained optimistic and hopeful, but that was exactly what the blonde had been looking for and finally someone she could use and use and use.
"Kari," Stella said slowly, like she was savoring the name. "Pretty," she commented, the like you unspoken but clearly implied.
"Oh. Are you sure?" She asked, tilting her head and licking her lips. Very briefly, and the only warning Kari would get, blue eyes dropped to the senshi's lips and Stella's quirked up in a wolfish smirk.
Once again, Stella had let go of their joined hands so that she could grasp the girl by her hip, after peeling off a short white glove, and used her bare hand to slide to the back of the brunette's neck and draw her down.
Stella leaned up on her toes to close the last of the distance and stole Kari's lips in a kiss.

Kari had no idea what was coming. Honestly she hadn’t even realized when the arms were wrapped around her, and she was still quite clueless until a few moments after soft lips were pressed against hers.
Oh.
Oh.
So…so this was the usual way…she kissed people…she kissed people to take their energy…? How…odd…and…why were her arms going around Stellerite…why was she suddenly kissing back, her lips moving softly against the lieutenants.
She felt as though she was melting…this was nice…and maybe…maybe this wasn’t how she normally did it either…maybe she had just wanted to kiss her. Her eyes fluttered shut and she held the other woman closer, wanting this to continue, wanting it to continue more desperately than she realized.

All and all, Stellerite was terribly pleased with this turn of events, tugging Kari down further to deepen the kiss she was grinning into. Had she'd known it would have been this easy, she wouldn't have bothered with the act at all, but as it were, she was content.
The hand on Kari's neck shifted just enough to hold the orb as it formed and Stella hummed against the girls lips.
A few more seconds...
It was enough that she decided that she didn't want to concentrate on maintaining it and let it disappear to subspace. "You're eager," she teased, pulling back enough for air. "This should be a regular thing," she suggested, pressing forward to kiss her again, this time sliding her hand into the girl's hair.

Kari’s eyes were shining, and her face felt hot. Her head was spinning, and she was wondering if possibly Stellerite had taken a little too much energy, she was feeling lightheaded.
She gave a breathless laugh and returned the next kiss, before pulling away, looking at the lieutenant. “You…you got enough energy then? I…but a regular thing? You what, want to just kiss me more or something?”
There was a clear attempt to flirt, she was trying…but she was embarrassed, and uncomfortable and…
And she wanted to kiss some more. But…but…
Kari felt absolutely overwhelmed. And she liked it. A lot.

"I've got enough," Stella said, breathlessly. It was plenty and now that she had a willing donor, she wouldn't need to struggle to trick or coax anyone if she was having a bad night. "Mhm," she hummed, rubbing her thumb against Kari's hipbone.
Her hand still had a fistful of the senshi's hair and she tugged a little, dropping her gaze to the girl's mouth.
"Do you want to stop?" She asked quietly, sticking out her bottom lip in a pout.

“I…I mean…” She should stop, she should pull away and stop all of this right now, and leave and never come back…but that would be something that was far too difficult to do.
“When…should we meet again…maybe like…maybe every few days or so…I mean, I can’t do this every day…but maybe twice a week would be okay…but…I…” Kari had to look away, she couldn’t keep looking at the lieutenants face, she couldn’t take the pouting.
“I really think every day would be a little much…I just don’t have that much energy…”
But she wouldn’t mind kissing every day…not at all.
“I should go now…I really should…”
