Wandering the halls left Logos with somewhat of an idea of the layout of the magical castle where the Court had been teleported. She hadn't yet taken time to sleep, being uneasy about the magical and impenetrable nature of this place. Black marble greeted her feet at every turn, black walls stood in opposition to her exploration. Many rooms were locked and at the risk of getting lost, Logos didn't enter them just yet.
Returning to the hall the crystal servants had brought them, Logos happened upon another eternal senshi with those familiar black wings. She was sitting on the floor next to another bedroom door, arms crossed. Brown hair and dark eyes, someone she didn't recognize.
Of course, most of the Court fell into that category.
Logos gave her a respectful nod, indicating her respect for someone of such a rank. "Good evening, ma'am."

Pacing was exhausting. Everything about this experience was exhausting, and it had Leto sitting on the floor with her back against the wall next to the door to the room her and Tantalus shared. Her head was tilted up, her ponytail taken down to avoid the discomfort of it being pressed into the back of her head, and her eyes were closed. The hallway was completely silent save for a few whispers here and there behind the closed doors- until she heard heels clicking on the marble floors. Red eyes opened and shifted slightly to glance in the direction of the noise. When the first stage Senshi that Leto had never met before approached her, Leto smiled up at her. And that smile immediately turned into a frown, her nose crinkling at being called ma'am. She pushed herself up to her feet to greet the other girl, "please, you do not need to call me ma'am." "I'm Leto," she held her hand out for Logos to shake. "I'm sorry we haven't met yet. I've been... Well, there's no excuse for my absence but I typically try and make sure to meet all of our new recruits. I'm sorry for these, um, strange circumstances."

Logos gratefully shook Leto's hand firmly and with a smile. "It's a pleasure, Leto. I was under the impression these circumstances were not under your control. I do have to say, I feel.... out of my element." Looking down at herself, the newest recruit into the Court sighed heavily. "Lesath was the one who awakened me into this..." Logos made a gesture, as if to encompass not only herself, but the castle in which all of them were trapped. "... whatever this is. I have skills I believe will be of some benefit to the Court, but I'm unsure of what to do in this situation." Being useless was something Logos wasn't good at. "Do you have any recommendations, Leto? I have combat training and my father is an officer in the military, so I have experience there as well. I'm being told this Court is more of a family than anything else. And magical on top of that..."

"They are," she agreed, that the circumstance was out of her control, "but that doesn't make me any less sorry about it. I can't imagine how it must feel to be awakened into this ******** in all of the years that Leto had been doing this, she hadn't mastered the brain to mouth filter. "But," Leto leaned in and grinned at the other girl, "We're all out of our element, so don't you worry about it. You couldn't have been awakened by anyone better," she said genuinely. She had a deep respect for Lesath, and a strange but wonderful long-term friendship with her and she was absolutely positive that she would do great things with new recruits. "I gotta be honest, I'm not sure there anything we can do in this situation. I wonder if as a Royal I can be any more help with my crystal but something tells me that we're stuck here until those mirrors or that so-called Queen decide to let us out." The mention of Logos' father being a military officer made Leto's heart ache for a brief moment. "My father was in the military as well," as far as she knew, he still was. "I came from a White Moon Court that was very heavily military based, so I can appreciate the feeling of wanting to do more and being stuck in a mushy family-orientated group that is based in magic," she could help but laugh. "Maybe one day when we're not stuck in some strange castle in another galaxy, we can discuss some combat training and organizing a more military-style group within the Court," Leto's red eyes were practically glittering with excitement. That she had someone in the Court who felt the same way as her and had the same background... Well, it was something she hadn't experienced since the Blood Moon Court and Ares, and there was nothing in the entire world that could've made her happier in that moment.

The fact that multiple people within the Court seemed to respect and revere Lesath was a point of pride for her cadet. Logos nodded with a slight smile. "I'm glad you think so. I believe she will be an excellent teacher in the months to come, after... all of this is settled." Leto being royal was mentioned by a few people in the Court, though Logos still had questions. "Leto, if you don't mind, you don't feel any different than another... what's the name?" The highest rank, what did Lesath call them? The ones with the black wings on their waist. "...Eternals, right? You don't feel unlike the eternals. I don't mean to be rude, but... I was wondering why that is?" She nodded again, this time with enthusiasm, over the idea of a more military-styled training regimen within the Court. While Logos knew precious little of their goals and aspirations as a group, teaching those without the experience would benefit the Court as a whole either way. "...I would like that, very much. I volunteer to help create such a thing, Leto. I know I'd prefer an organization more familiar, but... I won't disparage Lesath's choice. If she thinks I'm worthy enough and have a place within the Court, then I will respect that. As much as I prefer the military structure, I'm afraid I don't know much about how the Court itself is run."

"Remarque and I," she started. "He's our other Royal," she added, just in case Logos didn't know (which was unlikely, Leto realized, considering Lesath likely would have mentioned it). "We can switch between Eternal and Royal, which is why I don't feel any differently at the moment." Red eyes glanced back and she motioned at the small black wings that were attacked at the small of her lower back. "As an Eternal Senshi I feel like any other member of the Court. We have to sort of... Power up to be more, and that's when we feel differently. It's handy, in situations like these when we don't want to put all our cards down at once. Like a secret weapon, almost." "You'll find your place with us, I promise. It may take some time to figure it out, but I'm confident that you will- you seem to have a good head on your shoulders. The Court is run fairly loosely, and Remarque and I have very differing leadership styles and ideals but I think that keeps things... Well, I'll say interesting," she laughed. They may butt heads fairly often, but the good of the Court was always at the forefront of everything they did. "I think you'll make for a great leader within our Court some day, Logos," she said with a smile as she placed a hand on the other Senshi's shoulder.

Logos nodded with understanding. That made perfect sense, and explained why Leto did not feel any different than Lesath, despite having achieved Royal status. "Being able to hide one's power is excellent. You could spring an ambush that way, without alerting the opposition to your abilities. It's brilliant, really. Camouflage in plain sight. No pun intended." Leto's compliment and hand on Logos' shoulder were duly noted. She gave her superior a curt nod. "If you think so, then I'll take that as a compliment. I endeavor to be... more, in this Court. Knowing we have the capacity to be greater... That's..." She would be wistful if wistfulness wasn't thought of as weakness in her family. "...it's excellent motivation, I'll say that." They couldn't do much while stuck in this castle in space, but Logos was determined to learn as much as she could, and become as useful as she could. Training and becoming more powerful was a goal of hers, long term. "Is there anything I can do in the meantime that would be of benefit to you and the Court?"

Leto desperately wished there was something more that she or anyone could do in the mean time. But alas... It appeared that until the Queen did something, anything, that they would be stuck here. Unless MirrorSpace happened to suck them all back in via a Mirror at random. Which... Didn't appear to be happening. "I think, in the meantime," she thought for a moment. "The best we can do is explore every single inch of this place that we can access. Talk to as many people as you can to see what they have learned, talk to Altea if you manage to find her," she shrugged her slim shoulders. "Information is everything at this point. The more we have, the more of an advantage we have in this strange place. Can't let anything or anyone take us by surprise." It was the best advice she could give in a situation like this- in a place where everything seemed out of their control. And with that, she was sure that Lesath would lead one of their newest recruits in the right direction, so she didn't worry about Logos. She would do just fine in their Court- in their family. "If you find out anything important be sure to let Lesath, Remarque or myself know, ok?" For now, maybe she'd actually try and get some sleep. It would help no one if Leto was too exhausted to fight. "And if you need anything, come find me. My door, or uh, mirror, are always open." She offered the other girl a smile before quietly slipping into the room that had Tantalus in it, trying not to disturb him.
