Dinara had been slacking. To tell the truth, she had honestly just forgotten how to power up, and tonight she had done it by accident, and really wasn’t completely sure how to…not be powered up anymore.
She had fretted a little and sighed a lot, but when it came down to it, perhaps it was a good thing she had managed to do it…for now she could complete her long forgotten civic duty of patrolling the streets looking for…
…bad guys? Is that what Xenia had said? There were bad guys that she had to fight and people she had to protect…and something something…chaos?
Yeah, that sounded about right.
She had been fiddling with her small container of glitter for the past ten minutes or so, trying to open it and better examine the glitter inside. Maybe it was magical like she was…but the stupid cork was so…so…stuck.
The page was nearing a park and there was a curious feeling ahead…kind of like the way that Xenia had felt…and she was intrigued, moving towards it swiftly and spotting a boy with blue hair and a dark outfit on. “Hey! I’m Dinara! You’re in this magic club thing too? Have you seen any…” She lowered her voice, moving closer and widening her eyes to show that her next words were super important. “Bad guys? I have no idea what they look like, but I’m supposed to fight them. I think.”
Finally the dumb little cork popped out of the bottle and glitter sprang up as her hand jerked downwards.
“Gah!” Nothing magic about that. Just plain old…glitter. In her eyes. And most likely his too.
Whoops.

He was covered in glitter. Mourite coughed lightly, sneezing color. He blinked and took a moment to assess the last few moments of his life.
First, he'd felt the order signature approach as he sat in the park. It was small, so he hadn't paid it much mind until it started moving faster.
Second, he'd sat up as a young girl with very long hair and a dress on bounded over to him. She was fiddling with a bottle. She'd begun to speak kind of quickly and super seriously.
Third, the cork on the bottle finally released and both kids were now covered in glitter.
Silence.
"Are you... a ditzy or something?" he said, trying to wipe glitter off his face. Arg, his classmates were going to give him crap about this for a week. She kinda felt like a senshi, but didn't look like any senshi he'd ever seen.
He wasn't sure this was a good thing...

Dinara blinked rapidly, trying to clear the glitter from her eyes and finally reached up to wipe what she could off of her face, though that only ended up smearing it even more. “Am…am I a what? No…I’m not sure what a ditzy is, but I’m a page of Cosmos, my name is Dinara…I…I’m sorry about all of the glitter…”
She did look apologetic, even though it seemed difficult to take her seriously with her face catching the light, making her look very…twilight vampire-esque.
Oh well.
“I’m still really new to all of this and I guess I just wanted to see if the glitter did anything, you know? I know now that all it does is makes a mess…but I suppose that should have been expected as it’s…you know…glitter.”
He seemed nice at least! And he wasn’t yelling at her, so that was a good sign!
“So…you didn’t answer my question…Have you seen any bad guys around here?”

"Ditzy, are you.... sigh," said Mourite, letting out a heavy breath at the girl. A complete ditz, really. He raised a brow at her, red against his blue-ish hair, and just sort of looked at her for a moment. This is what 'Pages of Cosmos' were? Seriously?
"Pretty sure this glitter is doing nothing except getting in my eyes," replied the boy, who wiped at his eyes and got even more glitter in them. Damnit all. She was going on about 'bad guys' and really emphasizing that. He supposed that meant him, but if she couldn't tell he was not like her...
Well, he wasn't one to burst the poor girl's delusion.
Mourite shifted, morphing himself in personality and tone. He doubted she would even notice he was different; it wasn't like he was outwardly different except in some mannerisms, after all. Shock flashed across his features and he glanced around, as though he was unnerved.
"Bad guys!? There are bad guys out here? Do you mean those.... terrorists?" he said incredulously, eyes snapping around as though he was looking for hidden shadows. As it stood, he couldn't feel any other Chaos in the immediate area, nor Order beyond Dinara. He was infinitely curious what she'd say, though.

Dinara honestly felt horrible about the glitter. She bit her lip and glanced around, trying to think of some way to help him…but there was no cure for glitter…this was the worst.
Though, when he finally seemed to be not focusing on her mistake, she paused, nodding fervently. “That’s what I was told! Wait…terrorists? What do you mean by that? I was just…Xenia just told me that there were bad guys that we had to fight…I didn’t know that there were terrorists too…shouldn’t…shouldn’t we just let…”
The page reached up and nervously twirled a strand of her hair around a finger. “Shouldn’t we just let the army or something take care of terrorists? I think it’s just our job to take out the bad guys…you know?”
Dinara didn’t seem to know what to do or say after that and finally just moved over to the nearby bench and sat down, resting her chin in her hands and just looking…concerned. “This is only my second time coming out like this…I didn’t realize that…I didn’t realize that we had to do the army’s job…I don’t have any training against terrorists at all…”

Oh this was good. "But apparently these terrorists have.... powers. I think that's a little outside the scope of the army, don't you?" he asked her, still fake glancing about. Truly the only ones really fit to deal with the threat were the Negaverse, but that sounded too., well, evil, so Mourite kept his mouth shut on that.
"You're just the person for the job, I think," he added, maroon eyes finally finding hers again. Some part of his brain said "ooo look at the cute girl" but she had covered him in glitter so...
"You did say you were a 'page of cosmos'. Must mean somethin' important, yeh?"

Dinara’s eyes grew wide, the effect magnified by her glasses, making her look rather like a deer caught in the glow of oncoming headlights. “They…they have powers? Xenia didn’t tell me anything about powers…she just said that there were bad guys to fight…I don’t think the army can handle powers…you’re right.”
When his eyes found hers, she felt a blush slowly begin to creep across her cheeks and for a moment she could do nothing but gape at him, then her hands flew up, covering her cheeks as she shook her head vehemently. “Oh no, how could I be the right person for the job? I don’t even know what I’m doing…but you…you seem like you know a lot…and…”
Searching for something to focus on, anything but his eyes, Dinara stumbled over her words, finally glancing back up, her light purple gaze locking once again with his. “I…I guess…but I’m not really sure what it means…but it’s what I am…what are you? I don’t…I really don’t know much of anything so…I’m glad to have found a friend who can help me…”

Mourite tried to not puke in his mouth. She was definitely a girl. A doe-eyed, what are you doing out here in a dress and heels fighting the Negaverse girl. He glanced away for a moment, debating how to answer her. He could say he was of the Negaverse... but...
"I am a Padawan, a Jedi Knight in Training," he said, which was not exactly a lie. "I protect Earth from terrorists, too."
The lie was so easy and so simple to say, it just rolled off his tongue. It was weird and odd, but not as much as it should have been. When you've been lying all your life, in one way or another, that tended to happen.

Dinara blinked quickly and finally frowned, though a smile managed to twitch across her face after a moment and she reached out, giving the male a little shove. “You’re funning with me. There’s no such things as Jedi, that’s all from Star Wars. Come on, what kind of a person are you really?”
At least she believed that he protected the Earth…that was a good enough thing to know for her, and he was funny! He had a great sense of humor, and that was great.
“If you want to keep it a secret, I guess that’s okay, but it’s not very fair, you know.” She pursed her lips and shrugged. “Friends aren’t supposed to keep secrets from one another…and even though I did cover you in glitter, it was a total accident so…you can’t hold it against me forever.”

Mourite stared at her for a moment. "It's a real thing. Started out from Star Wars, yeah, but there's a whole organization built around it now. Look it up on the Internet some time." he told her very matter-a-factly.
"I am..." he paused, thinking. He couldn't exactly call himself Ren, even in this form. Nor could he do any of the mainstream characters, she'd say he was lying.
But...
"Kanan, and I am a Padawan, whether you want to believe me or not. I'll forgive you for the glitter... someday," he said with a smirk, lightly jostling the girl with his shoulder.
Ditzy, over-excitable, but cute.

“Kanan?” That was kind of a funny name…though no funnier than Dinara…but…was he really a Jedi Padawan? That…that just seemed strange! Xenia hadn’t told her about this at all!
“Well…it’s really nice to meet you, Kanan. Um…” She felt flustered all of the sudden, wondering if this was just a really special type of person…the Jedi were really cool and if he was training to become one…then he must be something really special.
“Well…” Dinara glanced down at his shoulder and felt a flush creeping across her face. Was he flirting with her? He was totally flirting with her and she wasn’t quite sure how to take it. “Well, good then, Kanan…I don’t…I don’t want you to not forgive me, and it really was an accident, I promise it was and…you’re a Jedi? That’s really…that’s the coolest thing ever…how did you manage that? I want to be a Jedi too!” She finally just gaped at him, her eyes wide and full of naïve wonder.

She was so.
Gullible.
This was too easy. This had to be a joke. How could she honestly be this naive and stupid to believe he was a Jedi? Nevermind the fact he was actually signed up with the Jedi Academy via the internet and all that good stuff, but as he was now?
Mourite tried to keep the shock off his face, morphing his features into one of suave charm.
"It's a lot of training... and reading, and you have to be selected. Someone has to take an interest in you... you have to be, well, chosen," he said, enticingly but also nonchalantly. Truthfully, a Jedi would not try to entice someone into the Order, but...
It was just too easy....

Dinara grinned and looked sheepish, nodding. “Well…I doubt that will happen to me, but it’s such a neat thought!” Of course now her mind was doing nothing but telling her just how pretty his eyes were. Like red velvet cake and she felt so foolish and her face was turning red and…
Quickly, the page glanced away. “That’s really neat for you, though. I’m happy that you were special enough to be chosen for something like that! You must be so proud of yourself, yeah?”
He was looking at her the way that older boys looked at girls in the movies and in television shows, and for a moment, Dinara truly had no idea what to do about it. She wasn’t used to attention from boys. Especially not boys who were this good looking…and who were Jedi.
Finally though, she managed to look back to him, an interested smile on her face. “…How do you get chosen?”

She was blushing. He had to admit, she was kinda cute when she blushed. It warmed a soft little part of him and made him want to boop her nose. Why, he had absolutely no idea, but it was adorable and he rather enjoyed it. She glanced away and Mourite kind of wanted to run a hand through her multicolored hair. Was it naturally that color, he wondered, or did she dye it?
Dinara glanced back at him, asking him how to get chosen. Honestly, Mourite wasn't sure. He just... happened to be at a right place and a right time in this case? (He'd just sort of signed up to be trained as a Padawan and someone took him on.)
"Someone takes an interest in you, darling. Someone sees... potential in you." He looked at her, smiling ever so lightly. "Why do you ask?"

“Potential…” Dinara seemed thoughtful, and almost eager, and when she saw his smile, her face once more grew warm. “…Do you think someone might see potential in me one day? Because, I bet it’s amazing to be a Jedi…”
She bet that he was amazing, though she wasn’t going to say as much. Not ever. That would be far, far too embarrassing.
“Um…hey, Kanan? Do you think…if you’d ever even…I mean…” Quietly she twisted a strand of her hand between her fingers, hating the shyness that had suddenly overtaken her, blotting out her words and making her mind feel as though it were full of cotton.
“…Do you think you ever might…I mean, would you maybe tell the Jedi about me? I’d love to be one too…if you think I might have any sort of potential…It seems like it would be really fun! And we could help so many people!”
Besides. She was already a knight…surly they would think she had the potential to be a Jedi too…it just made sense…right?
