It was a brisk evening as Arthur picked up his pace, jumoing upna fire escape and moving his way up the roof. He wasn't as big as a person (at the moment) and he wished he could be without shining a aura signature like a lighthouse if he did. But there were work around for that.
The knight he could see 2 roofs away and jumping on the ledge, he called out. "Hello!!! Can I have a moment of your time??!!"

Cheomseongdae had felt a power signature coming close, one that was clearly Order. It wasn't huge, but it wasn't small, so she settled down to wait, curious who was coming close. She was grateful she had been taught how to do this, though, because it made it easier her for her to work on her training without the risk of dying. When she heard a voice, a somewhat small voice from a distance, she tilted her head. It sounded familiar, and like it came from a small body, one that did not have the physical lung capacity to yell louder. She tapped her nails on her thigh, before turning back, leaping back across the two roofs to... the side of a Mauvian, and not just a Mauvian, but one she was familiar with, much to her delight. "Arthur! Of course you can. How are you?"

Arthur rushed over to her, smiling as he went and pressed his body against her legs over and over as he purred. "Cheomseongdae! I didn't see it was you! I'm so glad to see you again and that you're doing well!"
He stopped in rubbing against her legs to stand back. Business! He had to focus.
"I'm collecting information for the senshi database. Can I interview you? I was hoping to get information about more knights and their wonders."

"You can call me Cheom, by the way, if you like. You really helped me a lot, Arthur, so I'm really grateful to you. And also very glad to see you again. Are you well? And then he stopped rubbing, and she was initially confused... And then she blinked, surprised. "Database? The Senshi have a Database? Lucky! But sure, I'll help out, Arthur. Just tell me what you want, or need, to know, and I'll do my best to help... Keeping in mind that I'm still learning a lot."

"Knights have access to our Database. You should talk to someone to figure out how to get into it. We share information." He said, tail swaying as he looked up at her.
"Have you been to your wonder? I'd love to see it."

"Oh? Oh that's a useful thing, then! I bet it's more complicated, though, since Senshi have cellphones and I have... Well." She lifted her hand and gestured at the ring she wore on her middle finger. "A Signet Ring, via which I can send written letters." She blinked down at him, and then beamed. "I have! Once, only, but if you want, we can go. Here..." She leaned down and offered him her shoulder, not willing to be rude and just pick up a sentient being without his permission. "Did you want to go now?"

"Yes! I wanna write about your wonder and you." He said, eager to see new worlds and be taken places. Most of all, he wanted to go someplace his energy signature wouldn't be recognized. Having just learned how to be a humanoid, he wanted nothing more to try walking more on two feet, having hands, and using them to touch and grab things. Hands were great!
But Cheom didn't need to know all of that.
Moving up, he jumped on her shoulder and curled about her neck, purring loudly as he butted his head against her ear.

"I don't think I'm all that exciting, myself, but I can definitely take you to my wonder! It's an Observatory!" She grinned as he jumped up, and supported him, as she straightened out. "Sounds good, I can take you there today." She moved away from the edge, so there was no chance of someone seeing the shadow of a person suddenly disappear, then murmured the couplet. She found it sort of silly, the phrasing, but it worked, so... And then they were there. A dark place, mostly, but the stars were very visible, and they lit up enough that a great tower was visible. It was wide AND tall, and they were right at the door. "Welcome to Cheomseongdae, ancient Observatory." She said, quietly, staring up in happiness.

The world melted away and with it the city's ever-present electric glow of streetlights and neon street signs. It was quiet when the world rippled back and phased in, peaceful. Dark like going out deep in the woods, but far more stars than he had ever seen before. Looking up, he was amazed to see each one vivid and speckled bright against the black void.
There were no other buildings here aside from the towering Observatory before them, and there was a cold to the air far from that of the one in Destiny City. It didn't speak of the season but of altitude. All around he could spot the peaks of slate sharp mountains with crawling fields of creeping moss. It was solitude, but one submersed in nature.
Jumping off Cheom's back, he took a few steps away before his own form shifted and sprouting up from his spout a very tall, lank man with a white cat ear and tail stood. Stretching his arms above his head, he took a deep breath.
"It's so nice and peaceful here."

Cheom was staring up at it, her eyes happily focused on the stone. The base of the tower looked like it might have been carved out of the mountain itself, originally... The rest was stone blocks, carved out from somewhere nearby in all likelyhood... It had a similar look to the stone of the mountains around. It did not look particularly fancy, on the outside at least. She was about to open the door for him, and let him in, but... Then he was gone and there was a MAN. A... man with cat ears and a tail? Where Arthur had been? "Ye... You... Man. Cat. Arthur?" She sounded stunned.

Stretching out his arms abive his head, he stopped to smile at Cheom. "Yes. I'm Arthur. It's surprising isn't it. I only just learned to change but it's such an amazing feeling. It's much nicer to be at eye level with everyone.....kinda." He often times had to look a bit down. "And being off planet means I can do this without everyone in Destiny picking up my signature." Which meant anyone he was with woukdn't be in danger.
He stepped closer and lifted his hands. "And hands are great. I can pick up things." He said, positively giddy. "I can pick up you too now." To which he moved in and scooped up the knight, spinning her about in his long arms before he nuzzled his cheek against her.

"Mauvians can... can change shapes?" She was clearly baffled, still stunned, and unsure what to make of this. "I mean, I... Can see the benefits. Signature? It changes?" She was about to check, when he came closer. Her eyes widened when he picked her up, spun her, and then nuzzled her. "Ah! Arthur! Please put me down? I'm g...guessing you have not had a lot of experience with humans while in this form?" She sounded like she was trying to stay calm, but she was not used to being handled like this, especially not with with things going as they were with... Someone back home.

He set her back down gently, tail swaying behind him and ears perked up.
"Cats give off a order signature. In this form, I give off a large signature. Massive. While cats can dampen signatures of others, we do a poor job of it on ourselves. Kind of like granting a shield but not able to use it on yourself. I'd need another Mauvian for that."
"And Mauvians can be either the form of a cat or this. At least as far as I know. I didn't think I was able to do it till recently. I guess better late than never." He said, adjusting his glasses.
Turning, he tore a space in reality and pulled out a notebook and a pen, before closing it.

"Thank you for setting me down." She said, and tilted her head, curiously, as he explained. She then focused on her senses, curious to see what his signature felt like now... And was rather impressed and stunned by how much bigger it felt. "Wow. Um. Wow, I see what you mean. That's... Impressive, and concerning, because I would hate for you to get hurt." She LIKED Arthur, even if he seemed a little confused about how to behave with humans in this form. "Mmm I see. Well, that's a good thing to note. Very unique. You look very nice in either form." "Um." She found herself staring again, when he pulled the pen and notebook out of a hole in... nothing. "How did you... You know what, tell me later. You're here to see my Wonder and ask me stuff. I'll ask you about that later. Would you care to come inside? Please be careful with what you touch... If it's cloth, it... might basically evaporate into dust."

He smiled at her as he followed her inside. "That's my space pocket. It's where I keep stuff. Like a thermos of coffee and snacks."
Priorities.
Walking inside, he turned to her. "What do you mean it turns to dust? Is it that fragile?"
"Have you found anything interesting about your observatory or remember anything? Are there any records left here?"
