Welcome to Gaia! ::

Mag Mell, Knight of Cosmos, stepped off of the ship that had brought him from Corvus to Arsinoe. He went to reach for his bag only to find that someone had already grabbed it to load onto a carriage that was supposed to take him the rest of the way to his destination. Anxiousness at being somewhere new as well as the underlying thrill of exploration tickled at his senses, driving him forward until he reached the carriage himself.

Everything was twilight-- An in between, much like Corvus was at certain times of day. It was enchantingly beautiful and he found himself wishing he had arrived earlier in the day, just to see everything while the sun was still high in the sky and not while the lanterns were being lit. He could already see the correlation between the world and the senshi of it.

With one more look to the sky he slid into the carriage, waiting for it to take him where he needed to be.

He stretched as he got out of the carriage, running his fingers back through his hair before adjusting his cloak on his shoulders. The ride from the docs wasn't as long as he'd thought it would be, but it felt good to be on his feet again and he was hoping to avoid being in any other form of transport for the rest of the night as he could.

Again, he tried to claim his bag only to be kept from it, brow furrowing slightly as he turned to follow it with his eyes. His gaze drifted up and he paused as he caught sight of a familiar flash of purple, fuchsia and white. It drew a smile from him as he approached the Senshi of Lanterns, pausing a few feet from Sailor Arsinoe to bow politely to him.

"I would very much appreciate the chance to stretch my legs after the ship and the carriage." He followed just as the other man thought he would, easily stepping into stride alongside him. There were others who were moving along with them as well; well trained guards that he was fairly certain only let him see their movement so that he would know that they were there. Know not to try anything.

He shook off the thought, arms crossed at the back beneath his cloak as he continued on after Sailor Arsinoe. It would be easier to focus on the sights instead of the guards. "Thank you for inviting me to visit your home. I wasn't expecting to be this far beyond Corvus, but I wouldn't dream of declining the hospitality of a friend."

"I'm assuming, by that statement, that your father was unable to turn up any additional information in regards to my past than what I already told you?" His brow quirked slightly over one eye as he cast a sidelong glance at the Senshi. His own voice was just as soft as his escort's had been and he didn't want to make their conversation any more suspect by pausing to look at the other man.

At the mention of the fish, however, all seriousness left his face and he found himself laughing softly. "Are you certain there are things other than fish to show me, Sailor Arsinoe? I was under the impression that they were your most prized creatures as well as dear friends. I would not want to miss the opportunity to have my worth judged by your favorite fish." He was teasing, of course, the slightest smirk touching the corners of his mouth. Beneath his cloak, however, his grasp on his wrists behind his back tightened slightly.

"If my visit is going to cause problems..."

"I'm starting to think that when one becomes a Knight of Cosmos our records are purged." The words were meant as a softly teasing joke, but he was fairly certain that they were true. How else could the intrigue be explained? It seemed best to leave it to the Knight to tell their story anyways...

"I'll have you know that I feel a tad under dressed walking beside you," he murmured as they stepped over a bridge that crossed a canal he assumed served for transportation solely based on how the walkway arched higher than others they had passed. "There wasn't much time to change into anything more formal than my traveling clothes, which are generally good enough for a Knight of Cosmos, but... Arsinoe seems much fancier than Mag Mell."

"If we've time during my visit I wouldn't be opposed to viewing what records you have on Mag Mell-- the Wonder, not the knight. I would be happy to supplement what information you have with things that I know and have learned." It was only fair; information for information. In getting to know the Senshi of Lanterns better he'd started to figure out that Arsinoe appreciated information almost as much as he did his fish.

"Is that why you enjoy spending time on Corvus, then? I seem to recall one of your last visits including things considerably more informal." He smirked softly, glancing to the other man once more.

"Rules are sometimes meant to be bent, depending on the situation. Getting a chance to be more open, to be more yourself is as good a reason as any." The way the conversation was going made him want to drum his fingers against a tabletop or shuffle his cards. They were nowhere near a table, nor did it seem as though they would be pausing by one, and he had left his cards in his bag to remove the temptation of reaching into his cloak. Sailor Corvus had warned him that they might have shadows and the last thing he wanted to do was give them reason to worry.

"That said, your home is rather lovely, Sailor Arsinoe-- What I've seen of it so far, at least."

"But the further you travel?" His brow lofted slightly as he looked to the other man, wishing for a moment that he had a chance to actually watch him as he spoke. It was always different when you could see the expressions on someone's face against the words they were saying.

"So," he spoke loudly to clear the air and potentially keep the conversation from taking a turn towards wanting to escape and needing to be elsewhere. "Where, might I ask, are we going? The Palace or the Library?"
