At least the rain from earlier had stopped, he did not need to get soaking wet and catch a cold, the smell of rain in the air and the sounds of cars driving through puddles was nice. He liked the sounds of a city during and after a good rain...it was soothing in a way. It was better than the noise of a busy city. Running his fingers through the bits of hair which hung about his face he tucked them back behind his pointed little ears. He still got looks for his ears, as he knew he would, at least at work it wasn't a constant thing.
Some people stills tared and asked questions but at least at his job it was accepted...and they had a fair few customers who also were heavily modified so they didn't question him or stare. Those who just came in for a new piercing here or there...the teens and others...they did the staring and asking him things.
He still liked them though, ho regrets to be had, but he figured as a senshi it was likely the one thing people wouldn't stare at. His uniform stood out more than his modified ears and perhaps someone would think it was part of the magical thing - that was possible...right?
Stepping out from between two buildings the dark haired male took the time to glance up and down the street - nothing. He felt something through....but where.

Keiko didn’t go out powered…like, ever. She hadn’t done it since she had been awakened, and honestly, the only reason she was out right now…was due to the fact that the rain had made the night air so humid, and she was hot.
The very shortness of the fuku made it very nice in the summer, and honestly…if she had thought of this earlier, she might have been powered up more often…at the very least, it was cooler…and the fact that she could move so much faster…and jump so much higher…this was better than having a car!
So, there she was, enjoying life, running and laughing softly like a slight manic, when she jumped off the top of a roof and landed after a somersault right in front of another senshi that she hadn’t realized would be there.
“Hell yes!” She punched the air and laughed, turning and giving a yelp, jumping back a few feet. “Holy s**t! Where did you come from?”

Staring at the figure that had jumped, and rolled, right into his view the darker haired senshi took a single step back and raised a brow at her as she turned to face him...and jumped in surprise, no shock there really. He wasn't surprised by her reaction in the slightest, and it showed.
"I've been here...you appeared out of no where." He stated rather calmly.
"I could sense you." But he hadn't seen her. How had she missed him? He supposed she'd just been busy and hadn't noticed...it was believable.
"Miyamoto..." Offering his name as he offered a hand out towards her.

“Ah! Hey there. You seriously terrified me!” Keiko’s own hand reached out and clasped that of the other senshi, a smile growing on her face. “I’m ah. I’m Keiko! It’s nice to meet you…you…”
The senshi wrinkled her nose and shook her head, finally understanding…or at least she thought she understood. She could feel something coming from the other senshi. Miyamoto.
“I uh. I don’t really…I mean. I’m still really new at this and I haven’t…actually powered up since the cat showed me how…and I only did it today because it was really warm and…” Keiko gestured to her fuku, shrugging and giving a smile that was rather self-deprecating. “I don’t know. I didn’t realize that I’d honestly be able to feel so…strong you know? I…I was explained everything but…I don’t think I listened all that much to the cat who woke me up.”
Keiko did try to listen but.
It had been a lot of information.

"I didn't mean to terrify you." He might not like most people, or be the most social of persons, but he didn't try and scare or terrify people - that wasn't him. When he removed her hand from his own he took the time to glance over her uniform, he could see why she's prefer it in the heat. It was cool and easy to move in as well...it wasn't bad really.
"It is a lot to understand." Though he hadn't learned much, only from the one cat, he didn't like the side they were on. He'd learned more from the other side...from Wolframite. He didn't mention this though, he knew better than to tell a senshi what he was planning, even if she wasn't active or anything he knew it wasn't a good idea. Who knew what she might do or who she might tell? "I understand what you mean." Nodding his head to her words. It was a big, and sudden, difference with how much strong you were like this. He was sure it would be more of a difference once he climbed in rank, which he knew he'd do. "Do you plan to continue to power up now that you have again?"
Or was she not going to power up unless it was for cooling clothing? Was this why the Negaverse hadn't been beaten yet? If senshi and knights out numbered them, as he'd been told, was it just because they didn't power up or take things seriously that the Negaverse hadn't been beaten? It did make some sense.
"What are you senshi of?"

Keiko shook her head. “No, no I’m not terrified. It’s all fine! Don’t even worry about it!” She gave a little grin and thought for a moment. “Oh…uh. I’m the senshi of the Yuki-Onna. It…It’s actually pretty cool, no pun intended!” She grinned, looking suddenly pleased with herself for remembering that information.
“I mean, I think I might. It’s…pretty cool. I’ll give things a chance at the very least…and there’s no point in not going out now that I’ve started, right? We could be friends if you wanted, It could be fun!”
He seemed to know what he was doing. Know what was going on. She could use someone smarter than she was to help her really figure all of this out. “…If you don’t want to be friends than maybe you can just…be my ah…mentor? If you’d be into that? That could be fun too, don’t you think? Saving the world together…and ah. All that jazz?”
Keiko lifted her hands, giving a halfhearted wave of them along with a goofy grin. “…Get it? Jazz hands?”

Yuki-onna....that was close to his own sphere, very close, and he found himself cracking a smile at her words. So she was going to continue to power up, that was something to keep in mind, he didn't want to forget that. "Tsuara onna - that's my sphere." Similar to hers, really similar, and it was because they were similar that he told her,. it felt like they had some relation via sphere, and he was sure their magic would be similar as well.
Be friends with her? She wanted t be friends with him, that wouldn't last long and he knew that, it would end badly for her once he changed sides. He didn't say that though, for some reason he cared and ave enough of a ******** to spare her - for now. "Friends - that's fine." For now. It wasn't going to last and he knew it and she would eventually and he knew it would hurt her but somehow, watching her and listening, he also didn't want to let her down right now. ******** - he hated having feelings sometimes. He wished he could pluck them up and give them the boot, to somewhere far away, it was why he didn't get attached to customers with stories behind their ink. If senshi were reincarnations, or there had been past lives, he was sure theirs must have had some connection...and he hated that...it made him want to be nice now.
"I get it. Are you nervous?" He asked finally, after some moment of watching her. "You seem nervous...or unsure of yourself."

“Not…not nervous…overwhelmed?” Keiko looked thoughtful. “Like…I feel as though I should have gone out and done all of this sooner? Like…I missed my window of opportunity and now I’m totally flying blind?” She gave a little smile. “That is pretty close to mine! That’s awesome!”
How lucky was this? Her first new friend in all of this…was someone who had almost the same sphere as she did! It felt kind of like fate, and she liked that. A lot.
“So, what should we do, now that we’re friends? How often do you go out? I’m going to try to start doing this more, and…we can go together and you can help me learn! I know there’s a lot of things that…ah. That I want to learn but. You’ll just have to deal with my questions, okay? I hope you’re ready!”
…Not that he’d have much of a choice if he wasn’t. “…Do you want to go and get snacks or something? I’m hungry. We can talk things over if you’d like? Or, well. I’d like that a lot.”

"I'm sure plenty feel like that right after powering up for the first time. They are behind on this whole war." And dropped right into the middle of it with little idea on what had already happened and now expected to be some new participant. You were behind on what had happened and behind in power when compared to others. It was a whole thing he disliked..but he just disliked being on the side he was on in general.
"It's random when I power up. I can let you know once I power up." It was on nights where he felt like it, and it was random, it was when he wasn't too tired from work or he needed to clear his head. When he wasn't in the mood to just fall into bed and sleep. He didn't have some set schedule - he wasn't the sort to.
Him deal with her questions? Oh dear...he was new as well - should he tell her? Did it really matter? For a moment he considered telling her he was new as well...but he didn't. He might not have a clue either, about this whole senshi thing, but maybe he was calmer and more confident? Maybe he could handle himself better?
"Food wouldn't be a bad idea..." But that would just bind them closer. He was going to break her little feels when this was all said and done with - wasn't he? But would he care then? Why the ******** did he really care now? Just because of their spehres being so similar and the feeling it gave him? ********! That wasn't a reason.
"Something hot to eat."

Keiko nodded, giving a little smile and thought for a moment before snapping her fingers. “Oh! That’s fair, but we have like, fancy phones right?” She pulled her senshi phone from out of subspace, quite proud that she remembered how to do that and held it out. “I remember the cat said something about me just…taking a picture and it would get your information? Heck yes!”
She snapped a picture of the senshi and grinned, pleased when the phone worked just like Itsuki had said—just like magic.
“Something hot sounds really good, yeah!” Even though the whole reason for her powering up was because she was too hot…but…whatever. Maybe wherever they went would have ice cream!
She powered down and held a hand out. “I’m Phoebe! Thank you…for listening to me ramble. I know it must not be too terribly much fun but…you’re helpful, even if you don’t really think so yet.”

Oh! Hadn't he been told the same thing? He was pretty sure he had been, it felt like it was one of the few things he'd been told. Did he really want to save her information to his phone? No. But did he take his phone out and do the same as she had just done? Yes. It was needed in order to look good, to look normal. He didn't want to seem off and like he didn't want to be friends...like he wasn't making an effort, he had to try and keep his head down and fit in...for now.
Powering down as well he took the offered hand, giving it a shake. "Hisoka." This really wasn't a good idea, he was sure of it, but he needed to try and keep up the pretense of being a good senshi and wanting to fit in...and do his duty. Wait till he changed sides and she found out...she as not going to be happy and he knew it. He just worried she might tell people about him...about who he had been and somehow they might try and find him. But he'd been told he'd be safe - magic would make sure of it.
After some moments of internal conflict he finally nodded his head. "Lets go get some food." ******** it. Come what may - he'd be fine.
