Welcome to Gaia! ::

Meridiana had sensed the order aura and followed it for some time while maintaining a safe distance. Even though her medallion was active, allowing her to walk around Destin City unnoticed by anyone who was currently powered, it didn’t mean that her shiny golden horns or revealing dress and ridiculously long hair wouldn’t be spotted.

She watched the young woman for several moments, gauging whether or not it would be safe to approach. The White Moon senshi was of a rank similar to her own which was disarming at least but then again that blond-haired girl with the Egyptian themed outfit looked innocent enough but threw one hell of a mean punch.

“Kind of lonely out here, wouldn’t you say.” Meri approached cautiously, each hand cupping her elbows to kind of block most of the revealing slit in the front of her dress from view. Just because cherry blossoms were beginning to bloom didn’t mean it was warm enough at night to wander around too long without a coat.

Meridiana blinked in surprise by the pick-up line then followed the Senshi’s gaze down to the hole in her chest. Right below the dip in her collarbone was a black void with cracked tendrils that appeared to be inflamed, nearly identical to the one on her forehead except that one was a bit smaller.

“Ah, um. It was definitely uncomfortable,” to put it lightly. “But it doesn’t hurt now; if that’s what you’re asking.” There was no use trying to hide the smile that tugged the corner of her lips into an amused grin.

“I just noticed you were sitting here by yourself and thought I’d say hello.” The corrupt reached a hand out in a kind gesture. “My name is Meridiana, but most call me Meri.” Something easier to remember at least and had a friendlier sound to it as opposed to Alphekka Meridiana which had an almost authoritative sound to it as if it was some sort of a unique title befitting a lady of the court rather than the Senshi of the Succubus. “And you are?” She asked, her head tilting to the side curiously.

The kind comments gave Meridiana a reason to smile for the first time in what felt like weeks. “Thank you,” a light pink blush swept across her cheeks as she bowed her head in appreciation and gratitude for the compliments.

“I’m …” She hesitated for a moment, worried that Tristian would run away if she divulged too much information. “I’m a senshi, like you, but different. Admittedly I’m hesitant to share with you my sphere. It’s kind of questionable in some circles and I worry it might make you think ill of me.”

However, if the White Moon Senshi was in fact the senshi of Trust then perhaps she might understand that just because she was the Senshi of the Succubus it didn’t mean that she was one herself. Granted there were evenings where she seduced men and women alike to fill a quota but she was by no means a Lady of the Night.

No, she just really enjoyed flirting, that’s all...

Meridiana laughed nervously as she rested her hand over the exposed mark on her chest. It was done more so out of concern that they offended or disgusted Tristian as opposed to doing so out of a sense of modesty “You’re honestly too kind.”

Against her better judgment, she decided to trust the well… Senshi of Trust.

“I’m… the Senshi of the Succubus.” Cobalt blue eyes were cast downward, not wanting to see the look on the other woman’s face. It was surprisingly hard to admit that out loud and she had to wonder if she had ever actually confessed what her sphere was to anyone before.

Other agents could simply look her up on their tablets if they cared enough to check, but for everyone else that was not a part of the Negavers, like Whisler or Adria, Meri honestly couldn’t recall ever openly telling anyone what exactly she was the Senshi of. In truth, it was mostly out of a fear of being wrongfully judged but then again when she flirted with anyone and every one no matter their gender, it likely made those that knew her sphere wonder if she was more attuned to her sphere then she would like to acknowledge or admit.

Meridiana smiled and from her red painted lips fell sounds of a sing-song laughter. “It’s quite alright.” This wasn’t the first time she made someone feel nervous and probably wasn’t the last time either. Perhaps it was her own short stature that made her appear as less of a threat despite their opposing auras, then again her own was hidden with the aid of the medallion she wore so that couldn’t be the reason, at least not at the moment anyway.

“You’re not far off for what my magic does.” Her magic did put a target into a bit of a stupor so they were more easily approachable and were less likely to hit her when she got near. However, she wasn’t too inclined to delve into the mechanics of it since she still valued the element of surprise. The more people who knew about her magic then the less likely Meridiana would be to execute it if she found herself in a dire situation.

Unfortunately, as friendly as the White Moon Senshi seemed to be, there were alarms going off in Meridiana’s head telling her it’s time to leave. Conversing too long with the Senshi of Truth could prove to have dire consequences if she is coerced into saying something she otherwise wouldn’t have or give away information about herself that could get her in trouble if she encountered someone with more sinister intentions.

“I would love to talk more with you, however, it is getting late and I should be on my way.” A polite dismissal, but before she turned to leave the corrupt smiled and added “You have a kind and gentle soul, stay safe.”
