Lysithea didn’t often patrol without Malus, or Michel, really. She patrolled sometimes with Adria, but hardly ever alone anymore, and truth be told…she kind of missed patrolling alone, and tonight when she was able to sneak out of the house, it felt like such a relief to power up and not have to worry about protecting those around her.
She just had to worry about herself tonight.
And she could do that quite well, thank you very much.
The eternal senshi spent the first half hour of her patrol just relaxing. And by relaxing, that meant jumping from the rooftops, she had always loved jumping around, besides, it made for such an enjoying time, seeing how quickly she could cross from one part of the city to the other…although there were always things that made her pause. Like the feeling of the chibi senshi that was nearby, she grinned and hopped down right in front of the green haired girl.
She was precious all ruffles and bows. “Well hey there. I’m Sailor Lysithea…you doing okay tonight? You’re the first person I’ve run into and I just figured I’d say hello. It’s been a pretty quiet night so far.” Of course, she figured now that she said that…all hell was going to break loose, but hopefully not.

Xenia knew that she really should get to know more Senshi - because maybe then she might be able to bring something more to the table when she joined the Negaverse. The more people she knew, the more potential information she had, and goodness knew she wasn’t bringing much else to the table. So when she sensed an Eternal, she made a beeline for the aura, because that was a very good person to know.
And then there she was, all sparkles and shine, and Xenia actually stopped, eyes widening in surprise.
God, she’d thought her outfit was cute, but this - this was something incredible.
“Um, hi!” She said, trying not to stare too much but also trying to take it all in. “I’m Xenia, and, yeah, doing just fine. Nothing scary out tonight or anything!”
Ugh, she sounded like a moron. Oh well.

Lysithea nodded. “Xenia, hm? What are you the senshi of, no wait, let me guess! I adore your fuku, those colors complement you so well.” She utterly adored the purple, but of course, she might be just a little biased. “I’m the senshi of Unicorns, but I bet you could guess that already.” It wasn’t difficult to. She had a big horn coming off of her tiara, after all.
“I haven’t seen you around before. But, I know there’s a lot of people that I’m sure I haven’t seen before, so it’s not too far-fetched of an idea. You seem pretty confident though, you’ve been doing this for a while?”
She seemed somewhat old to be a chibi as well...but who was she to judge.
Finally, after a long inspection she shook her head. “Nope. I thought I’d be able to figure it out on my own, but I have no idea what your sphere could be. I give up.” Lysithea laughed and grinned, shaking her head once again in mock disappointment. “Tell me?”

Xenia brightened. Getting a compliment on her fuku always felt good - she hadn’t picked it, sure, but it was still hers, and she did love it. She tugged on the skirt demurely, but really, she was unable to pretend she was anything but delighted.
“Unicorns, really? That’s amazing!” It did seem obvious in retrospect, with the horn on her tiara and all the sparkles and...everything. Wow. It really was sort of incredible.
“I’ve been a Senshi for about a year, but I only started doing...a lot of stuff recently.” She shrugged lightly. “It’s been pretty great, though.” And that wasn’t even a lie, it had been. She had a girlfriend now. And magic powers.
“It’s, um, kind of ironic, actually, because I was a little rude not introducing myself properly! So!” Xenia did a little curtsey, and then straightened. “I’m Sailor Xenia, Senshi of Etiquette. It’s lovely to meet you, Lysithea!” She was playing it up a little, but it was fun. And besides, if she was cute and harmless, no one would suspect she might be collecting information. That was the best way to play it, right?

Lysithea nodded. Etiquette, hm? That was an interesting sphere! “What sort of magic does that give you, Xenia? Etiquette isn’t something that’s really even...well. Manners are kind of hard to come by nowadays, at least I think so.” She grinned and tucked a piece of hair behind her ear. “So you’ve been at this for about a year, hm? Do you have any interesting stories about what you’ve ended up seeing or doing? It’s been a while since I’ve made a new friend, so, you’ll have to pardon me if I’m a little over excited.”
That seemed to be something that a lot of people struggled with. They became senshi and didn’t do anything for a time...it was something that Lysithea herself was guilty of, if she were being honest...but…
Well, Xenia was out and about now. The least Lysithea could do was make sure she was safe while she was out patrolling. “Do you have some friends that you go out with to patrol, Xenia? It’s always better to have at least another person with you, at least that’s what I’ve learned. There’s some real wackos on the other side of this, I wouldn’t want you to get hurt.”

“It’s a shield,” Xenia said, “and, uh, it’s a little silly, but - you have to ask my permission if you want to step into it or anything like that. So it’s actually pretty useful!” She’d only used it against youma, who couldn’t ask, and it kept them away from her long enough for her to figure out another plan if she couldn’t run away. “Not too many fun stories, though.” Having a picnic with a cute Lieutenant wasn’t exactly the sort of thing you told other Senshi about, she figured. “I’ve mostly dealt with youma, and I’m sure you’ve seen a million of those.”
She looked a little guilty when Lysithea mentioned patrolling with people - it was pretty empirically true that she’d be a lot safer if she did, that was for sure.
“I don’t really know anybody,” she admitted. “I’d like to have somebody to go out with, but, um. I don’t really...have that.” She smiled wanly. “It’s okay, though! I’ve been fine!”

“I have seen some youma, that’s for sure.” Lysithea sighed, thinking about when Evan was still a youma. “Did you know that...they were once people? I learned that the hard way...but…” She paused, then brightened. “You know, I think I could help you with that. I have a whole group that I like to patrol with, if you’d like to join us, I know we’d all love to have you! And I have some other friends I go with too...I mean, it’s not that I’m popular or anything.”
She grinned and laughed. “But I somehow did collect a lot of friends recently, and I’d love to add you to that list, if you’d like!”
Drawing out her senshi phone, Lysithea got it ready to snap Xenia’s picture, just so she’d have the girl’s information so they could start patrolling together. “You know how these work, don’t you? You have your senshi phone?”
Her magic sounded very interesting too...it would be a good addition to the team...a shield that others couldn’t pass? They didn’t have any shields, so far as she knew. Not yet, anyway.

Xenia’s eyes widened. “People?” It was hard to imagine some of the monsters she’d seen having been human, once, but...that just made them so much sadder. She was already having doubts about dusting them, this just made her more determined to not do it if she could avoid it. “That’s...really terrible,” she sighed.
But there was something else on offer. There were more people. Friends. Even if she wanted to join the Negaverse eventually, the prospect of friends on the Order sie while she worked her way into Chaos’s good graces sounded really, really nice. Because not everyone was going to be Wavellite. Not everyone would be kind.
“I’d really like to meet your friends,” she said, “if that’s okay? I know I’m just a kid,” even at fourteen, she would be a kid to most of them, “but I’d really, really like it.”
It sounded so nice. People she could patrol with reliably, rather than kind of hoping she bumped into somebody.
“Oh, yeah!” She fumbled briefly and pulled her phone out of subspace. “I know how it works!” Mostly. But it was a phone, how hard could it be, really? She held it up and took a quick snap of Lysithea, to record her contact information. It felt good to get someone in there - to have an actual person she could call.

“It is terrible...but now we have a way to fix it, so...that makes it a little bit better.” Lysithea snapped her own picture of the chibi and grinned. “I’ll set something up so you can meet my friends. Your friends, potentially.”
She put the phone away and gave a little sigh. “So, if you need anything, even if it’s just some company on a patrol, or someone to go and get icecream or a cheeseburger…” Her stomach growled and she made a face. “Speaking of, do you want to maybe go and get something to eat? I’m quite literally starving right now, and I do hate eating alone. My treat?”
Sure, Evan would flambe her if he found out she had gone for fast food...but that didn’t matter at the moment. She wanted it...so she was going to go and get it. “If you say yes, I’ll let you pick my brain about whatever questions you have, assuming you have some~ It’s a great deal, if I do say so myself!”

A way to fix it. Oh, that was… “I’m glad to hear that,” she said, genuinely. Whatever had happened to those poor people could be reversed. “And I can’t wait to meet them!” It would be great. She would have friends. People she could rely on if she got into too much trouble. The very thought improved her outlook more than she had expected it to.
“I’d love to go get something,” she agreed. She wasn’t too terribly hungry, but running around powered up did sort of work up an appetite, and it would be nice to have some time to sit and talk and have a quick burger.
“I’ve got a million questions, so I hope you’re ready.” She could ask about Dinara, and even maybe about shedding her Chico nature. She could ask anything. She could learn things. It would be great.
