Since he had made some headway in cleaning up the library he decided it was about time to bring Mag Mell to the asteroid. He probably should have before now but since he'd been having more and more visions lately he didn't want to freak Mag Mell out if he zoned out in the middle of something. They'd finally started to taper off so he'd made plans. They both had the weekend off so they'd decided to get up early on Saturday and head to the asteroid. He'd gotten up first and made toasted bagles for breakfast while packing up a lunch they could take with them. He heard the shower kick off as he was putting bottles of water into his backpack and smiled. Hopefully Arin would like the asteroid.

He was fluffing a towel through his hair as he wandered down the hall in a pair of lounge pants. One of the great things about powering up and heading somewhere from the comfort of home was knowing that there really wasn't any reason to dress up. Luc hadn't given him any specific information on what he should wear for wandering around, at the very least... "Bagels and cream cheese? Or peanut butter and jelly on the cinnamon raisin ones this time?" His brow quirked as he leaned against the bar, light smirk tugging at the corners of his lips as he watched the other man. "If you're still anxious about taking a trip to Arsinoe we can push it back again, just so you know."

"You're going to want to put a shirt on before we go. It's a little chilly." He grinned, turning to look at the other man as he spread some strawberry jelly onto his bagel. "The latter. Figured that would be a little better before we go wandering around. I made tea too." The tea was still steeping on the counter not far from him. "I'm not nervous. At least not nervous enough to worry about it. I'm more looking forward to showing you." There wasn't much but he did still love his homeworld and wanted to share it with Arin.

"I figured I'd leave the shirt off until you told me whether or not we'd be powering down once we got there." His light smirk turned into a grin as he pushed off of the counter. He leaned over to brush a light kiss to Luc's cheek before scooping up his bagel with one hand, draping the towel over his shoulder with the other. "Did you want to finish breakfast up first? Or are we taking the tea to-go? If so I can go toss a shirt on along with an actual pair of pants so I can grab my shoes and we'll be on our way."

"We can power down once we're there, easier to explore in sneakers." He grinned as he licked a bit of jelly off his finger before putting the knife in the dishwasher. "I have lunch packed so if we want to take breakfast to go we can, bagles are easy enough to eat while walking." He was already dressed in a pair of jeans and a light long sleeved shirt so other than tugging on his shoes he was good to go. He'd put the tea into travel mugs already figuring that at least would be coming with them since they were unlikely to finish it up any time soon.

"That's right. Sometimes I forget how incredibly impractical senshi shoes are. It's almost like they weren't expecting you to do anything other than lounge around and look pretty-- you know, despite being called a sailor soldier." He brushed another light kiss to Luc's cheek before stepping away before the other man could swat at him, taking a quick step around the counter to put that space back between them. "I'll be back out in less than five." Arin disappeared back down the hall, making quick work of changing into something more suitable for exploration. It felt strange to be pulling on something with sleeves in the summer, but he wasn't going to ignore Luc's advice about a visit to Arsinoe when the other man had humored him about their trip to Mag Mell. He snagged a pair of boots out of the spare room's closet, tugging them on last before heading back to the living room to rejoin his companion.

"I can fight just fine in those shoes and you know it!" It had taken practice but with all the yoga he did he had pretty damn good balance. He just didn't like wandering around in them if he didn't have to. While Arin was gone he put on his shoes and scooped up Sumi when the kitten wandered over. He didn't want to leave the feline behind plus it was easier to power up with him blocking his energy signature.

"I didn't say that you couldn't fight in them, I just said that they were impractical." He flashed the other man a grin as snagged his travel mug off of the counter, pressing it to his lips to take a sip. He wasn't sure how, but every time Luc brewed a cup of tea it always turned out better than when he gave it a try. "If we're going to roam around in our civ stuff I'll stay powered down. One less aura that Sumi has to try and suppress, yeah?"

"Pretty much everything about being a senshi is impractical." He roll his eyes as he set Sumi on the counter so he could power up. "You ready?" When Sumi nodded he took a step away from the counter and dug his pen out of his pocket. It was still weird powering up in front of someone but at least Arin had seen it a few times. Once Arinoe was standing there he handed over the backpack to Arin, scoped up the rest of their breakfast and his cup, and let Sumi onto his shoulder. It was easy to teleport now and moments later then were standing just outside the Archives. He let go of Arin's hand before powering back down and pushing a hand through his hair. ".... and here we are."

"Just so you know... That feeling I get when I see you power up? That brief moment where I know that I know who you are but I can't quite put a finger on it? Still the worst feeling, even if all it takes is reminding myself that I know who you are for it to go away." His eyes lingered on Luc as he shed the guise of Sailor Arsinoe, shifting his grip on his cup of tea as he reached out to take the other man's hand again before finally looking around. Arin hadn't been to many other worlds or wonders. Finding his way around the island of Mag Mell had seemed like more than enough to him, but Luc had wanted to share this and he would have been a fool to say 'no'. "It's not too cold here. Kind of nice, actually, given how hot it's been back in DC."

"It's still strange to me when i see Cordy do it. You'd think either by not or just due to the family bond I wouldn't still have that moment of 'who are you?' attached." He knew it had to do with the magic but he'd figured it would fade as time went on in relation to those he knew. It didn't really. Like Arin said they could just make it go away but it always returned. Lacing his fingers with Arin's he looked up at the sky for a moment. "It's hard sometimes for me to keep track of the time here, I've got a clock on my phone but I didn't check it before we left. Perpetual twilight but when it's 'night' it gets a bit colder." He smiled as he looked back at the other man. "Welcome to Arsinoe."

He let his eyes lift from the other man, slowly scanning the sky. The colors were beautiful; pinks and purples and blues that blended together in a way that painted an incredible picture. It was even better with Lucien here standing right beside him. "It's very you in a way I don't think I could explain to anyone else," he murmured as he finally looked back to the other man, soft smile on his lips. "Are you and Sumi going to give me the tour, then?"

"Sumi said he had something he wanted to look at so I think it's just us this time." The kitten had hopped off his shoulders when they'd landed and was stretching not far from his feet. "There's not much to see in the town, mostly because there just isn't a lot left of it, but there's plenty to see in the Archives and the palace." He smiled as he held a hand out for Arin after shifting his hold on his mug. "We can start there and see how far we get?" --------------------------------- "I'll meet the two of you in the Archive lobby in a few hours? If that's alright?" He had found a way down under the archive and, he suspected, under the Vaults so he wanted to take a look at it while he could. With the two men occupied he'd have the prefect chance.

"I leave myself in your capable hands." He flashed the other man a grin as he slid his hand into Luc's, letting their fingers twine as he gave the other man's hand a gentle squeeze before looking down to the fluff ball of a cat. "Sounds good to me, Sumi. I've got my ring if you need to reach out to either of us." Fortunate thing about being a knight was that he didn't have to worry about a mystical, magical cellular device. Just a magic ring.

Sumi smiled before bouncing off in his own direction. Lucien shook his head before making sure they had their supplies and heading toward the Archive's giant double doors. "It's at least not as stuffy in here as it used to be. I've managed to open up enough things that it gets a bit of air. It still smells a lot like old paper though. Fair warning."
