Welcome to Gaia! ::

Arachne had let Thisbe off for a few days after she outed him to Cordelia. He wanted her to have time to actually think about what she did and why it was such a big deal. He knew she'd stew over it, at least knowing she was getting a lecture, and that would be good for her in a way.

She might actually get it He thought to himself as he finished off a text to her telling her where to meet him.

He was sitting atop one of his favorite roofs. Perfect place to look out over the city but none of the other buildings had a sight line to where he was. It made for a good meeting place and somewhere to just stop and rest if he needed it. So it would make a good place for Thisbe to get her talking to as well. He never thought he'd be the one having this kind of talk with someone. Since when was he responsible?

But he felt responsible for her. As if he should have somehow done better by her. Which made no sense.

He was poking around on his phone when he felt a powered signature coming his direction. It felt familiar enough so he figured it was Thisbe. As she got closer he sent his phone back into subspace and shifted so he was at least sitting up on his perch.

She was probably going to be grumpy he wasn't just dropping the issue but she also deserved it. Some mistakes could be forgiven. Ones that could cost someone their life if said in the wrong place? Not so much.

"Not so far. It's been quiet on the chaos front tonight so nothing to get distracted by." He grinned slightly before motioning for her to come over and sit down with him. There was plenty of room on the low wall he was seated on for her to make herself comfortable.

"I wanted to give you time to think before I talked to you about your rather amazing mistake." He tucked a chunk of hair behind his ear as he watched her. "Which I know you know was a mistake but we still need to talk about it."

"I asked her to join us because I am friends with her and she's one of the few people I know here anymore and my social butterfly self likes having friends." Cordelia had always been a pretty good one too. Sure he flirted with her and she always brushed him off and she tsked at him for flirting with everyone but she still let him live his life. "I figured she'd have to go to work that evening so would excuse herself and we could go patrolling."

That plan had been thrown out the window though and while he'd enjoyed the night off he probably still should have gone patrolling.

"Up until I decked my ex you were the only one who knew, Thisbe. I didn't tell anyone. You know the sort of s**t I get up to when powered up. There was no way I wanted the chance of that bleeding over into my regular life. I didn't want people knowing who I was and I didn't want to know who they were. Hell I still prefer it that way." It just seemed easier to not let people into his life like that. "No one needed to know unless I knew I could trust them..."

"I don't know Corvus enough to trust her. We only ran into each other a few times and that was a long time ago." Cordelia, yea he trusted her but he wasn't going to go around telling all his friends who he was. If they weren't also senshi, or knights, that would just cause problems. That was asking to be one bad date away from getting outed to the cops or something worse.

"I also know you didn't mean to but you did. I understand why you did it an why you thought you could but that's really not something you can do. Even if you think someone knows." If Cordelia had been anyone else it could have ended up badly. If someone had walked by at the wrong time. If they hadn't noticed someone was watching them.

There were so many ways that could have gone wrong.

"I stay away from the Generals. I know better than to get in over my head. A confused corrupted sailor senshi isn't going to get the drop on me and he's the only bad decision I've made recently." He wasn't entirely sure Alma was a bad decision anyway though.

"Then I know how to run and I have a cellphone that can send out a distress signal." He really wasn't that worried about getting into that much trouble. He didn't tangle with the Negaverse often enough to be considered a threat, at least he didn't think so. He was usually too busy dealing with their pets and they seemed to have an endless supply of those. "I'll think about it. I'm sure she'll have words for me next time we run into each other."

He sighed softly as he looked over at Thisbe again. "You can't do it again. Our identities are something we have to keep safe. For us, our families, anyone we know. Plus you can't let Corvus go thinking I'm a bad teacher."

"I feel like i'm responsible for you. For some stupid reason." He huffed slightly as he leaned back on his hands. He shouldn't have felt responsible for her because she was an adult and he didn't need to be but he did. Someone had to be responsible for her otherwise he knew Thisbe would get herself into trouble. She was reckless and needed someone else to keep her on an even keel.

Even if she was getting better at holding her own.

"Nothing's going to make her go easy on you for a while." He smirked as he pulled himself up and stretched. "She's going to make sure to take out all her frustration on you until she feels better. Vengeance and all."

With the chastising done, even if he vaguely felt like he should be doing more, actually getting proper work done for the evening might be a good idea.

"I'm sure we can find something if we look hard enough."
