Welcome to Gaia! ::

11:30 was a hellish time for Tourmaline to be summoning him outside and he was sorely tempted to tell her to reschedule it for a more respectable time but he was finally making progress with her and that would not help. Instead he'd left home and got far enough away that he felt comfortable powering up.

He knew the address she was speaking of and he arrived a bit earlier than she'd said hoping he could get whatever she wanted over with so he could go to bed. He kept to the shadows as he made his way to the construction site and 'felt' for Tourmaline's signature.

She'd gotten there early enough to set up a small 'arena' of construction horses and barrels, enjoying that the physical work gave her something to do to keep herself distracted as she waited. When Uvarovite arrived on the scene she was perched on one of the barrels, hands resting on the rim behind her.

"I appreciate the deviation from your regular schedule, Lieutenant." She called out so that he could hear her once she felt his presence, waiting until he had stepped out of the shadows before continuing on. "We have a bit of time before your sparring partner arrives. There's a senshi who... Owes me a favor, we'll say. He has promise and is currently being scouted for recruitment, so I would prefer it if you not maim or murder him. That said, there's no reason why either of you should go easy on one another and I won't be stepping in to aide either one of you unless things get entirely out of hand."

"We own the nights." Tourmaline flashed him a broad grin in an attempt to counter some of his crossness. She didn't want it all gone, of course. A small part of dragging him out this late at night was knowing that he would be irritated and expecting him to bring that to the fight.

"I would prefer you not break any of his bones if it can be avoided. He's not of much use to me, or anyone else for that matter, if he's too badly broken." She hopped down from the barrel, making her way over to where he was leaning against the horse. "Most of us aren't well versed in it, but unless you are well practiced in stealth and subtlety a senshi will find you while you're out collecting energy at some point and it helps to have practice fighting them."

When she felt the aura of an Order aligned individual approaching she stepped away from the Lieutenant, grin broad and devious as Sailor Aue stepped into the light. She brought up a clawed hand, waggling her fingers at Aue before turning over her shoulder. "Lieutenant, if you'll wait for him in the ring I'd like to brief him as well."

Tourmaline waited for Uvarovite to follow the lead she'd given him before slowly striding towards the Senshi of Lemons. "So nice to see you again, Aue. I trust you came prepared for tonight?" Her brow quirked and for a moment she looked like she might pat his chest lightly and give him a kiss on the cheek-- Or slap him while still smiling brightly.

Her voice dropped lower as she stepped closer, invading his space while reaching up to grab him by the collar of his stupidly bright uniform to yank him down to her level. Once she was certain she had his attention she spoke words intended just for him. "He's not pack, so you don't have to obey him, but he is of interest to me. No broken bones, but I want to see a good fight, understood?"


((Time to resume posting order, loves <3))

To his credit, Aue didn't flinch away from Tourmaline's aggressive approach; he was confident she was not going to kill him this time and so could afford to be a little cocksure. "Ja, I am prepared." Her expression set him back to being wary - while she wasn't going to kill him, Tourmaline was perfectly capable of maiming him or even just torturing him for a bit if she so chose; it did not do well to forget such things.

When she grabbed his collar, Aue bent until they were eye to eye on her terms; it was wildly uncomfortable but he did not complain - it would have done no good to b***h about it and likely Tourma would have been pissed and smacked him around some pre-fight. His eyes glanced from the Captain to the silver-haired Lieutenant when she said he wasn't pack; would he be pack? Or was he something extra, something this captain wanted on the side? Fascinating.

"No broken bones. Understood, Captain." Aue narrowed his eyes thoughtfully; he almost wanted to ask if this lieutenant would be part of the pack, but then Aue reasoned that if that were true, she would have said as much. So he is definitely a side project then. Regardless, I will do as she asks. Carefully he tugged himself free and straightened before going over to the make-shift ring.

"I am Aue." He offered a hand, but if Uva rejected him it would not hurt his feelings in the slightest. As for the ring, Aue would enter when Tourmaline told him to - this fight was at her pleasure, after all. The start of which would also be at her pleasure.

He watched the exchange between Tourmaline and Aue, too far away to really hear but the body language was plain enough. Whoever Aue was he was scared of Tourmaline for some reason and he wondered if she had plans for the Senshi. He was still Order but to be taking orders from Tourmaline meant there had to be something else there.

It was an interesting notion.

Using the hand that didn't have his watched wrapped around it he shook the senshi's hand when it was offered. "I believe the lady would like us to get this going." It had been a while since he'd gotten in a fight and while he knew he needed to be in better shape the younger man was bigger than him in terms of muscle. If it came to a fist fight, and he assumed it would, he'd have to rely on either being able to out maneuver him or being able to get a hit in somewhere exceptionally painful.

If Tourmaline had known about Aue's concerns she might have drawn him aside to fuss at him a bit more. She might berate him if he slacked off, get involved in the fight herself if he displeased her, but it would take more than either of those things for her to reach into his chest and claim his starseed. Rescuing another senshi from her to uphold his cover wasn't a complete betrayal; he'd still come when she called, after all.

The Captain hopped up onto one of the barricade barrels, checking her balance and making herself comfortable to watch the boys fight it out. Pity she hadn't thought to bring popcorn...
