Welcome to Gaia! ::

Something had been bothering Laverna since the group experience in Mirrorspace. Ignoring the other members of the court she wanted to neuter, Laverna could not get those glowing, beautiful crystals out of her head. She had been rather disappointed not to have gotten her hands on them all but...

Rolling her neck a bit to work out the kinks from another gym work out, the masked senshi was waiting on her ride for the evening. She had reached out to Prince Remquare after enough time had passed that she was betting the 'romance' had at least slowed a little. She would hate to take him away from his woman.

So she stood waiting for him back in the same park where he had found her, alone and lost. She just hoped he wouldn't kill her when she informed him just where in Mirrorspace she wanted to go.

"What kept ya?" She called out when she could finally sense someone else was around.

"If you are early, you are on time. If you are on time, you are late. If you are late..." Laverna glanced at him. Remarque was one of the few people she would reach up and pull her mask down so that he could clearly see her expressions. She was smiling in jest. "...you have some explaining to do."

With a half bow of respect from her waist, the senshi followed him into the mirror. "But daddy duty I can believe. How is the little one? Not showing any signs of mirror-walking I hope." That would have been a trip, not to mention impossible to find a babysitter for.

She ignored his question for a moment, having clearly heard it but rather focusing on his life. But as they crossed into their Mirrorspace, Laverna finally gave him her reasoning. "I can't stop wondering...well..." She motioned to the cracks that had appeared in the wall and looked at them with a careful eye. "Aw hell. Forget sounding all proper..." Laverna finally said with a roll of her eyes. Turning around, she put her hands on her hips and faced the man. "I want my own shiny and I can't get one without someone of upper rank with me. Since you are the only one I trust...and I know how you love exploring..."

"Besides, I figured you might want to see what you missed macking on your woman."

"You are trapped, you know that right?" Laverna said with a smirk and a roll of her eyes as he followed behind him. "If her mother already has it down, she will have you wrapped around her little finger before she turns two." If she didn't already.

But at his last comment, Laverna couldn't help but grin under her mask. Cranky hm? Sounds like someone wasn't getting enough attention under the sheets. Too bad....

"I don't know about that. I think I would take a cracky prince over a foolish eternal any day." But her words betrayed her as she stepped up beside him and slipped past. She might have made a point to brush against him just a bit closer than she needed but all was far in amused exploring and flirting.

And his woman wasn't there.

"But you found the safest route last time didn't you?" Laverna commented as she glanced back around, trying to remember what they saw before. "So I would say, we take that way and pray mirrorspace decided not to have a sense of humor. Because the last thing you may want is the company of a woman you can't touch."

"Trapped only means you are stuck somewhere. The company you keep just defines if you are enjoying being held captive or hating it." Lavera shot back with a wink as she turned down the route she had seen him taken. It was suddenly so much easier...

Curse you mirrorspace.

There was a long sigh from Laverna though when she was asked about her route. "Painful." Laverna finally shrugged, shaking it off. "Between being cut up by spikes and having rocks fall on my head....you would think this place was trying to kill me!" Throwing her hands up in an animated fashion, she waved them over her head before bringing them down again.

"But you know, the worst part about it was Momma I won't shut up for 5 seconds because I have to protect my babies..." Now her eyes rolled. "At least Diadem was around to keep me from slugging Snotpee".

She had continued walking as she spoke, only stopping a moment to crawl through the poky cave of doom. By the time they made it to the cliff side, Laverna was clearly getting animated. "But who does she think she is? Thinking just because I'm new she suddenly can tell me how to live my life? Get over yourself. I put up with that every damn day and I'm not about to do it now. Especially not when you drag people behind you."

Laverna's shoulders clearly sank as he spoke. There was a long sigh that came from her as he killed her ranting with attempts at logic. In a way, she knew he was right and that stress and confusion makes people do stupid things.

But she also knew that attention seekers did REALLY stupid things to prove their worth. Her half sister had taught her that one crystal clear.

"Not to disagree but talking to them afterwards in a calm place didn't do much to change my mind." Laverna offered as she turned around to look at him. "I mean I know everyone is different and hell, I know I annoy people but come on. You can't tell me that you have never wanted to throw duct tape over their mo...UTH!"

The last of her word increased in range and pitch as Laverna stepped back and onto something that moved. It rolled under her step, causing her leg to slip out from under her and the senshi of thieves to end up on her rear end in an ungraceful thud.

"Son of a ....sorry." Laverna started to curse then glanced up at Remarque. Like being caught by your father. Turning at the waist, Laverna looked back to see what had caused her to hit the ground.

There, gazing back at her was a small white crystal. It seemed like the ones she had seen here before minus one difference.

"Rem...is that crystal hovering off the ground?"

"No more than I bruised my pride." Laverna hissed, her hand going back to rub her behind even if her eyes were still locked on the crystal hovering there as if held by invisible strings. "My coach would kick my a** if she saw that. So can we keep it between us?"

Glancing back at Rem, she winked but rolled back over her shoulder to get her feet back under her.

Rising slowly, eyes turned back to the floating stone. "At least I keep you entertained. And not in an eye roll way." Laverna added with sly chuckle in her voice.

However it was her hand that had her attention now. After seeing others pick up stones like this, Laverna had no fear about reaching out to it. However she did hesitate a moment before pulling it close to her.

"Wow....doesn't bite."

"Like..." Laverna commented, making no promises on not spilling the beans if their Prince had a bad day. While he was low on her list, she couldn't say she wouldn't.

"Like...nothing?" Laverna questioned even the word herself as she gazed down at the white stone. She could feel the edges of the stone so something was in her hand, she could even see it there. But what was strange was what she couldn't feel.

"It has no weight to it. As if even in my hand it is still floating." Laverna opened her hand and looked at it. If she had thought it was strange before, this just caused her confusion.

"To be honest, I have a feeling..." Her hand wrapped around it and she looked at Remarque "This isn't something I should think long and hard on. Mirrorspace will tell us what it wants us to know in time."

Walking closer to him, Laverna went up on her toes and through her fabric mask, kissed Remarque on the cheek. "But thank you for humoring a crazy woman's interest. We should get you home."

"Oh come on Remarque." Laverna cocked her head as a hand went to her hip. "I'm not here to ruin your spotless reputation. I know Leto has you all to herself. So relax."

Rolling her eyes, the young dark mirror began to walk back the way they had come. "It's not like I have on lipstick and covering you with perfume. I was just saying thank you because you mean alot to me and to everyone in the court. We wouldn't be around if not for you."

"Besides, if I wanted to cause a scandal, it wouldn't be in the middle of Mirrorspace where no one was around. I would make a point of doing it where everyone could see."

"But let's get you home before Ms. Jealous sends out the wrath police. I'd make a poor energy drain target."
