Finally the weather was slowly turning as spring seemed to be taking over, as winter gave way, and he didn't have to worry about freezing when powered up. He could always wear a coat over his uniform, which he did at times, and while it would be a nice idea tonight he had skipped the coat and just headed out.
After powering up he'd done a quick patrol, powering down long enough to get a cup of coffee from a coffee shop, and was now just sitting on the roof of some store, he didn't even know just what sort of shop he was sitting on top of, as he enjoyed the hot drink. Legs stretched out in front of himself he was pushing his hair from his face with one hand, the other busy bringing the coffee cup to his lips.
He really should be home, it was boring tonight, settled behind his computer enjoying some time well spent online poking about various forums and sites. Maybe he'd stay up a bit late tonight and make up for the time spent out when he got in. No one would notice, since his room was in the basement, no one really bothered him and thankfully no one really tried to wake him up in the morning...or afternoon. He could handle getting up in time for classes on his own anyway.
"Mmm, a good idea. Get some gaming in." Tipping his head back he smiled to himself at the thought. It would be nice to unwind with some gaming before crashing for the night. Speaking of crashing for the night he'd have to remember to grab his bedding from the dryer when he got home, since he'd put it in before going out. He'd had a bit of a spill earlier in the day and had shoved his bedding into the washer as quickly as he could strip his bed, get to the wash room, and spray his bedding with oxiclean before shoving it into the washer.

He'd gone out to dinner with one of his coworkers and once they'd parted ways he'd ducked down an alley to power up. It was late enough in the evening that fewer people would be out which was probably good for patrolling. A near by fire escape let him up on to the rooftops and he pondered directions for a bit before heading off. As he headed toward an area more populated with restaurants and cafe's he noticed a slightly familiar power signature. Not too far off, sitting on the top of one of the better seafood places in town, was the senshi he'd run into a few weeks back. Smirking he headed that direction, hopping over a gap between buildings and onto the roof edge near the other senshi. "Gaming over all this? Isn't more fun to get to actually be the 'hero' than just pretending you're one online?"

"Depends on the person." Looking over towards the owner of that voice. "I prefer my basement bedroom and a computer over this." Shrugging he stood up, dusting off the back of his white pants and even his wings got a pat down. The chains dangling from them making a slight sound as he moved them about. At least his wings weren't so simple and plain, unlike some senshi.
"If you hadn't noticed I'm not much of a fighter." So gaming online was much more his pace, though he wouldn't back down in a fight at this point - he couldn't. He was still not one to start a fight, something he doubted he ever would be.
"Maybe it's just what happens when you have a violent lush for a father. You tend to avoid such things." Shrugging as he tucked his dark hair behind one pierced ear, he really was thinking of another piercing...but where and what he wasn't sure on. It was an idea which had been floating about in his mind for a while now. Flickering in and out of his mind like the wisps he created with his magic.

"Oh I noticed." He remembered the other senshi given that he'd had to save him from a youma. Something that, to him, the more powerful senshi should have easily been able to dust. "I distinctly remember having to play prince charming so you didn't get squished by a youma." He wandered over and around the other Senshi, eying him up as he moved. "Does beg the question though. If you'd rather be in your basement hunched over a computer. Why aren't you?" He paused on Chaldene's other side, smirk on his lips. "No one's forcing you to be out here." If the senshi hated it so much the rest of them would probably be better off if he stayed out of things. "Unless someone did drag you out here by your ear and then I'd suggest growing a pair and telling them to ******** off."

Raising a brow he watched the darkly dressed senshi. Prince charming...really? The other made it sound like he was some sort of weak thing, which ok he kinda might be but it was more an issue of not wanting to fight most of the time. Not to mention no weapon and his magic wasn't offensive really. It had been a big enough youma he really hadn't thought his little human sized fists would do much.
"You try living in a house full of senshi and knights - especially Maia. If I did nothing, all the time, she'd throw me out of the house." He stated shaking his head, a smile tugging at his lips. She really might and Dessie would help no doubt, though she had been acting off recently, that girl might be small and young but she liked a good fight. She also wouldn't pass the chance to rough house with someone. Yup, he was sort of out numbered in the house really and he knew it. Maybe he should let Lily drag him out more...she'd enjoy that wouldn't she.
"As much as I'm not a fighter I do still have a duty to handle youma when I see them. Not my fault it really didn't seem like my fists would do much damage to that one." Rolling his shoulders as he shifted and stood slowly. Stretching his legs as he did so.

"That really only counts if you can handle youma. If you cant then you shouldn't be getting in fights with them. Someone's going to have to save you every time." He had been lucky, he supposed, that his magic was offensive but if it hadn't been he doubted he'd have gotten into the habit of dusting youma. Sure he picked fights but he tried not to pick ones he couldn't win and he knew when to get out of a situation. He smirked slightly wondering how someone who had to be a loner even got roommates. Much less ones who were also senshi. "If you know you're magic isn't offensive then you shouldn't be out here alone. You should be out with those housemates of yours or someone else so they can keep you out of trouble." He reached out and flicked one of the chains on the senshi's wings. "Wont have someone around to save you otherwise."

If he had better magic, not to say he didn't like his magic, he might be able to better handle things. he had tried to team up with another senshi once before and that had just...gone no where. He honestly had no idea why or how that had failed. He could easily keep a youma busy long enough for someone to dust them, especially as an eternal.
"Only some of the time do I need help." He'd like to say it was a fifty-fifty split but he'd never cared to really pay it much attention, not enough to notice anyway. "I'll keep that in mind." He could go out with them but that just...Dessie was too brash, and a bit prickly still at times, Lily wasn't bad though. Rose and him weren't that close and Xander...they talked but it was like dealing with an older brother or friend and feeling a bit awkward around them at times.
"I've tried to work with another senshi before - it fell apart." No fault of his own either, he hadn't a clue. Hadn't seen the senshi since then either.
Glancing at his wing and the chain that had been flicked he let his gaze move over to the other again. "Like them?" He couldn't help but ask, giving something of a small smile.

"If you can't find senshi you work well with, or knights for that matter, then you should learn to deal with things yourself. Or just stay out of the fighting." HE didn't really think there were senshi who did stay out but there was not telling. For all he knew there were people out there who'd been picked by a cat and had just ignored that part of themselves the entire time. He'd done it for a few years so anything was possibel. He did raise a brow at the question of wings though. "Can't say I've seen anyone with accessories on their wings before. Kinda seems like they'd be a hindrance. Something else for an enemy to grab onto." Not that he was one to talk with all the ruffles and such on his uniform.

Stay out of fighting? Knowing what was going on in the city, especially when he lived with others who were powered, was simply not possible for him. He should find people to work with, he knew it, but he hadn't really ever had to run from a youma. He'd always managed, somehow, to finish them off...it just got harder with some.
"The wings are a bit of a hindrance on their own though. They don't do anything...and are more in the way then what I'd had as a super..." Shrugging his shoulders. They were a status thing, and he got that, but why make a status thing...a weakness also. Thankfully he'd never been grabbed by them yet. "Only time they'd be good is dragging someone around by them." Actually...that was both a good thing, if done by an allie, and maybe a kinky thing also?
"The only thing I'll say is at least they look less boring." He rather liked the piercings and chains, but he did see what the other was saying. He saw the problem with wings in general.
"You know...I don't plan on avoiding this war. My magic just isn't suited for it." Neither was he when it came to fighting. "And you mention working with someone else. Should just ask you." Though as he said it he was turning away to glance about around them and down onto the street below.

"Your magic only isn't suited for it because you haven't been using it the right way sweetheart." He smirked, crossing his arms over his chest and cocking one hip. The way he figured it if they'd all been given specific magic then it was for a reason. Obviously the ones who'd been given 'back up' magic were there to help the ones who could actually do some damage. No matter what field you were playing war at you always needed defense. Brute strength couldn't win everything. The second bit of the senshi's suggesting had him snickering slightly. "I'm not sure you could keep up with me. I may be good at what I do but I don't have time to be someone's protector. Do you even work out at all?" He doubted it given the 'computer nerd' vibe the other gave off. Usually the ones into that sort of thing didn't spend a lot, if any, time at the gym. "I mean I know I'm hot and everyone wants as much time with me as they can get," He smirked playfully. "But I cant' spread myself too thin."

The other had to have a thing for calling people sweetheart didn't he? Well, that was new. This was not the sort of person he'd ever encountered before and it certainly threw the dark haired senshi for a loop, unsure how to respond to it. But the other continued and he could move past that, not let it fluster him.
"No..well...sometimes. "When Lily dragged him around and made him train with her...or Dessie. Dessie just liked to use him as a punching bag, he was sure of it. The girl was made to fight but she'd had to, and he knew it, so it didn't surprise him that she was suited for being a senshi more than he was in some ways. He wasn't completely useless, thankfully.
Turning, rather quickly, he turned his nose up a bit in the hopes of hiding any other reaction to the other senshi's words. "Don't think you are that good looking. I suggested it not for that reason." Despite what the stumbling on words might otherwise suggest, he really had suggested it for the reason he gave. "But, I can ask someone else." Turning again to look away. Shifting and moving to place one foot on the roof tops ledge. He could make the jump to the ground with a fair amount of ease, even if it was a bit jarring.

Arachne laughed, shaking his head as the other senshi turned away from him. "Everyone thinks I'm good looking, basic fact of life. I'm used to it." The other senshi turning away didn't really do anything to make Arachne think he wasn't in agreement. Even if he wasn't interested he wouldn't be able to disagree he wasn't handsome. "On a serious note though. Register me to your phone. If you get into a pinch with a youma just call me. Dusting those ******** is my specialty and so long as I'm not tied up doing something else and can get to you. I'll come help." He wouldn't turn down getting to dust the monsters when he could. That was the only fun thing about being a senshi as far as he was concerned.

"Everyone? I doubt it." He stated shaking his head. "Statistics are against that." Honestly, this other senshi had a very big opinion of himself and his appearance. He'd admit he wasn't bad looking, though only to himself, but not as good looking as the other seemed to think he was.
Pulling out his senshi phone, was pretty standard and not some brightly colored thing. In fact it was a dark color with a dark and foggy wallpaper. It was fitting for him and suited him just fine. He'd seen some senshi with very brightly colored phones...not his thing.
"If you need me for anything as well. You can take my number down also." In case he needed anything distracted...or maybe if the other got in over his head in a fight? It wasn't like he couldn't help...just...fighting wasn't his thing. Maybe he really should talk to Lily...damn...or Dessie, though she was acting off lately...
He had a feeling if he went and bugged her room, in hopes of figuring the problem out, someone in the house - namely Dessie and Lily - would kick his a**. It would help though...but he really didn't want to upset those two.
