Sumner strummed his guitar a bit. Today was his day off, and he had once again decided to come to the lake. After he had been assured that the... youma-thing? was totally and completely dead, he felt safe enough to come back. It was a monster for sure, but now he was some sort of... page of Neptune or something. It was all very confusing and while he hadn't had enough time to talk to the senshi that had saved him, and had seen his subsequent "awakening", he had come back. He stopped strumming and looked at his guitar. It now meant something else besides just being a musical instrument to play. He had wondered at the Neptune symbol on it when the guitar, a very old family heirloom, had been given to him. His sister also had her own instrument that she had been given with the Neptune symbol on it. After having been "awakened" Duncan wondered if she was also supposed to be some sort of "Knight". Unfortunately, when it had become his "weapon" it no longer stayed with him, which meant that if he wanted to play it he would have to power up. He bought another mini guitar to make up for it, but he was slightly annoyed at losing his old one. He sighed, moving the instrument back into playing position and started to strum it again. It was as if the mini guitar was both familiar and yet completely strange to him now.

When Adria heard the strumming of music, he assumed that meant the youma he was hunting must have, too. He'd been chasing the thing for nearly twenty minutes; his body was sore and he was tired but he didn't want to give up.
He wanted to make a difference.
He wanted to keep someone safe.
When he'd lost sight of the youma, he hurried towards the music, brows knit and trying not to look as exhausted as he felt. He forced his breathing to calm so he wasn't panting so hard from the exertion.
"Hey," he greeted as he approached from behind, hoping not to startle the stranger. "...You haven't heard any rustling bushes or anything out here, or seen anything moving, have you?"
No sense for alarm if he could avoid it; he hoped the stranger would think he'd lost his dog or something.

Sumner had felt the... aura? or whatever it was getting closer to him. But he was still surprised when he heard a voice speaking to him and jumped a little at the "Hey". However, when he looked at where the voice had come from he saw... well he wasn't sure what he was seeing, but it certainly was unexpected. Still, it seemed to be a guy in some sort of uniform, and he felt a bit like that woman who had seen him "Awaken" who looked like she was wearing coral, so they must be... "A senshi?" He asked a bit loud. Immediately he shook his head. "Sorry uh, no I haven't. I've just been playing my mini guitar out here since the only way to play it now is by uh... "powering up"?" He didn't know if he worded that correctly. "Are you looking for one of those monster things? The only one I know of that was around here was that weird crystal/rock crab that I... awakened in front of." He shook his head again. "That was weird. Well," He looked at his outfit before looking at the stranger again. "It's still weird but it's not like I can just ignore it now right?"He sighed, moving to strap the guitar back onto his back. "Uh I'm... Page Sumner? At least that's what I remember... of Neptune. Though I guess that part is obvious." He raised an eyebrow at the other, curious as to what the outfit was supposed to represent. At least coral-woman's was easy. "Who are you?" He was blunt, but that was his speaking style after all.

Adria blinked when he was addressed as 'A Senshi'; it was immediate enough that he immediately suspected the Page must have been somewhat new, and he felt a small relief that he hadn't said something to rile him up.
Still, it seemed that Sumner had figured it out and Adria confessed, "I was looking for one of 'those things'. I lost it a while back, but I can't find it anywhere. I hope that means it left."
He looked around once more, just to make sure he hadn't missed it, and then exhaled. His shoulders slumped just slightly, like he finally accepted the fatigue that was crashing down on him. He didn't want to look too weak, though; he set about fixing his loose braid.
"I'm Adria," he answered, forgoing titles. He didn't feel like Super Senshi right now. He just felt like a failure. "Senshi of Sunsets."
He figured he knew what that eyebrow meant, and Adria, forever embarrassed by his exposed midriff, gave up on fixing his braid and instead moved to close his vest a little more and cross his arms over his chest.
"It's nice to meet you. Sorry about bursting in on your song. Your music was lovely," he said, shifting positions on his feet as if that would remove scrutiny or judgment on his outfit. He wanted to protest that he hadn't chosen it, or any of this, but none of them did. It was just luck of the draw.

Sumner felt himself shiver. It was involuntary, but he really didn't want to know what kind of monster the other had been trying to track. And he really hoped that it wasn't anywhere near here and wouldn't be. Forever. He nodded slightly when Adria had mentioned sunsets. The outfit didn't look "sunset" at first, but the colors fit at least. Though he wasn't sure how "sunset" would have been represented in an outfit anyway unless it made it look like they sun was literally at sunset on it. Like a printed t-shirt. "It's fine. I've had plenty of people come up and listen, as long as no one requests anything in particular, I don't mind others listening." He took the mini guitar off of his back and let the other look at it. "It used to be an ordinary mini guitar passed down in my family. But when I awakened I guess it became my "weapon". So I had to shell out the money for a new one." He was still annoyed at it every time he though of it. "From what I've learned though, senshi don't use weapons which would be pretty nice. I mean, there's not much I can do with it at this stage, but at least i can still play it." About the only thing it was good for right now. He had talked to another "knight" and had been told that it would actually get magic if he became a "squire" but how that was supposed to happen he didn't know. So for now it was only for practicing while he was powered.

Adria nodded. "I know a few Knights. My brother is one." Though, he was certain that his brother would be mad at him for telling anyone they were related. "There are a few in my circle," he shrugged. Though, he wasn't sure that any of them had actually been a Page. Both Lupu and Michel had purified out of the Negaverse, though that was information he was sure they didn't want that shared.
"I hope that your magic comes to you soon," he said. "...Mine's probably the only thing that keeps me alive. To be honest," he crossed his arms over his chest. "...I don't know if I'd rather have a weapon. My magic can only do so much, it might be nice to have something to defend yourself. I mean--when you have a Negaverse Agent railing on you..."
His voice trailed off and he shrugged, trying to blink away the image of the General swinging his weapons at him.
"...But, I suppose I probably wouldn't be good with a weapon. I'd have to learn how to use it, and...to be honest, I've always been a little scrawny. So maybe magic is the best thing for me, you don't have to work out or practice."
He paused.
"...I think."
