Welcome to Gaia! ::

There was much to be said for powering up into Aue, but if someone had asked...the brunet would have said most of those things weren't good. It may have been his particular outlook, his ethnicity that lent to a sort of never-ending displeasure with having to 'make-nice' with others, or it just might have been that the Senshi of Lemons really was as sour as his sphere suggested. Regardless, when he'd felt a low-level Chaos aura creep it's way along his spine and settle into his back teeth like a dull ache, he'd decided to go see.

Labyrinthite was gone, but he still had the pack to answer to. Might as well continue learning what he could.

The other was a corrupted senshi - Aue could tell by the hellaciously long hair, cracked forehead, and the weirdly twisted aura. Ugh, I will have long hair too. What a pain...I wonder, does it stay so long when civilian? Or does it just grow each time...Dia's is long always, I think...but that is Dia. A quavery, frightened voice told him to stay back - even going so far as to threaten to attack.

"Attacking me would be very bad for you." His eyes took in the pallid corpse between them, realization hitting - the tiny senshi had taken a star-seed. Good for him. "You have quota to fill, yes? If you do not, your Master will be upset."

"Are you close?"

Aue watched the corrupt warily, he seemed ready to cast and regardless of what sort of sphere the little s**t had, a hit by magic wasn't exactly something he relished. Still, he didn't have to run or jump or otherwise dodge an incoming attack, for Kamacite's brain seemed to have caught onto the fact that Aue wasn't threatening - and was instead interested in his quota.

"Another over-achiever." The lemon senshi barely held back rolling his eyes, "Still, better than being lazy and being made food for those monsters." 'Monsters' included his idiot General, Wolfeite, not just youma. "You have a demanding Master then. Or one that hungers."

Most seemed to, but some had...stranger hungers than others. Like the Wolfe. Like American McGee's General. Yes, things were odd indeed, but he'd aligned himself with these people and was impatient to be rid of the white colour, to wear black primary and feel the metallic taste of Chaos become not simply familiar, but also comforting.

Necessary.

"I am Aue." A statement, imperious.

Aue nodded curtly at having been given the corrupted senshi's call sign. He didn't bother repeating it back, as some had when he had given his own, and instead gauged Kamacite's state from the closed-in way he held himself.

Timid. A mouse. His normal state or a function of corruption? How is something so weak to be of any use? Does his magic make up for his ineffectual air?

"And who is your master, little mouse?" The fact that he'd been out gathering starseeds with his quota for energy full up said that this current statement about his superior officer(s) waiting for him was a lie. Likely one meant to make Aue let him go...unfortunately, that wasn't on the table, not with the shaky way Kamacite spoke, the way his voice broke over the words.

The senshi moved in a bit closer, flashing his teeth as his truer nature - not the mask he presented about Destiny City to seem harmless - came to the fore. "Tell me yours and I'll tell you mine."

Kamacite's strong flinch was the first warning that Aue had perhaps pressed the mousy little corrupt too hard despite the fact that he was using (or thought he was using) kid gloves with him.

The second - and last - warning was the corrupt calling forth his magic, right in Aue's face in all it's bright and misery inducing glory. Aue staggered a bit, vision gone but slowly fading back in; he'd been correct in thinking that Kamacite's magic would have given the Negaverse some sort of benefit in order for him to have been recruited.

While the white moon senshi's eyes were covering from being assaulted, Kamacite stumbled for an unknown reason and that gave Aue a chance to keep his 'companion' from bolting by falling forward to pin what he thought was him (thank ******** the guy wore orange with all that black). One of the other senshi's shoulders provided a guideline for grabbing the attached arm and twisting it none too gently back and up to incapacitate Kamacite.

"I don't know about your General, but mine would rip out your throat with his teeth for this sort of behaviour." Aue hissed the words right into the shell of Kamacite's ear, white spots still dancing in his field of vision. "And if you think I'm joking, he's a Wolf."

Having Kamacite struggling underneath him, making distressed sounds from pain and fear, was a heady drug for Aue. He may have been awakened as a white moon senshi, but there were far too many aspects of his personality that had him better suited for the Negaverse - something that not only Wolfeite, but his other pack members had all commented on. Even the feline that had chucked him kicking violently into this powered life had been dismayed at just how much of an anti-hero Aue seemed to be.

"The hell do you think I know so much about the Negaverse? I work with several of your officers as an informant, you dumb little mouse." It was..so tempting, to break this small senshi, but unless Kamacite was actively trying to kill him, Aue operated under the assumption that he should do everything possible to not harm any of his master's cohorts. Dust monsters were the exception to that rule, however, and the senshi of lemons exploded them with impunity.

"Your General happen to be half monster? Mine is. Got ears and a tail to prove it." Aue eased up the pressure he was putting on Kamacite's lungs, but continued to keep him securely pinned with his own, larger body; the senshi's squirming was aggravating and displeasing, especially as he was holding himself in a weird manner to keep from crushing the other man.

Aue shifted, dropping a knee between Kamacite's thighs to stabilize himself; whether it caused his captive to fear something worse than death was of no true concern to the white moon senshi, but he definitely didn't want to hear it, so he applied his teeth to the shell of Kamacite's exposed ear. "Hold. Still. You. <******** idiot. I'm trying not to crush you."

Whether Kamacite believed that Aue worked as an informant for the Negaverse or not was of no real consequence to the senshi save that he would not have to attempt to stop the corrupt and perhaps get a stern talking to from his superior officers. But when he went still - sniffling and with fat tears coursing down his cheeks now and again - Aue let up the pressure he'd put on his body to ease the pain of being held so strenuously.

"Breathe and I will describe my Generals for you. If you recognize them, you will know I speak at least some truth. What General would let a basic senshi live if they were not of use to the Negaverse?" Kamacite was like a bird pinned by a predatory cat, delicate and panicked and trying desperately to figure out how to survive the encounter. It was unfortunate that they had fought to this point, but Aue could only move forward as he'd stated.

"One looks like American McGee's Alice ******** the grim reaper. He wields a scythe and wears pink and dark." There was no flicker of recognition from Kamacite at his description of Labyrinthite, so he went onto Wolfeite. "The other has wolf ears and tail in black. All of him is black, but his skin. Uniform is black. Red trim, like blood."

He really didn't want to hurt the corrupted senshi, especially if they shared a General in Wolfeite as they also shared being part of the Negaverse. And by the other senshi's reactions, it was fairly clear that Kamacite knew the Wolf.

"I'll let you go as long as you're not going to hit me with your magic again. Are you going to behave?" They'd fought, just a little bit, at the start, but one really would be hard pressed to consider what they'd been doing as a battle...even though they were two senshi supposedly on the opposite sides of the War and blows had sort-of been exchanged. "But don't think the Wolf would bother punishing me for taking you to task when you are being stupid."

Was Kamacite trying to blackmail him into letting up? It wasn't going to work, Aue didn't fear General Wolfeite so much as he was wary of the half-monster.

"Ownership is implied in his being your General, as it is with me." Slowly, carefully, Aue released the smaller corrupt, moving off and to the side of Kamacite but not moving away as though he had utter faith that they were no longer to be struggling with one another. "He would not be pleased with my injury either, Kamacite."

His confidence was the surety of one that knows his place in the world and knows it's above his companion.
