Destiny City was weird. His cousins were, minus one, sort of tricky, twins ran in the family -- THANKS, GRAMPS - ajnd the general crime rate and safety rate was deplorable. But his dad wanted to live near his nephew Vincent and his boys as well as his nioeve, so Emitt had to Tolerate them. And he admitted, he liked thewwm -- he really did -- but they were weeeeeiiird. So tonight he decided to be less weird and scope the neighborhood for trouble., His sister had taken off to get into whatever she felt up to and he wanted her to make sure she got home. The teenager was prowling, blue eyes watching for problems as he walked thr sidewalk, before pausing at the small park near his house. It wasn't THE park he heard locals mention. It was small, with benches and a duck pond, and he finally walked to sit on a bench to watch a few ripples flow on the water and to watch ducks sleep. It wqwas quiet. It was nicem. "Perfect spot for a book..." He mumbled to himself, asllowing hiomself to relax. Liufa could find him there latyer. He liked this spot. It was his spot now.

The park itself was silent, until, of course, it wasn't.
In the bushes, hidden under the shadows of the trees, a full length mirror was carefully propped up. Remarque had been using it for weeks without issue, and he was glad it had been a worthwhile investment to get it here. He stepped from the mirror as an Eternal Senshi, glad to move about less noticed than if he were in his Royal form.
A branch had fallen from the tree in a recent storm and it fell low enough that when he stepped out, he nearly walked right into it. He scowled and swatted at the branch, annoyed that he had to take a moment to compose himself after stepping out of the mirror. He didn't seem concerned that someone might see--there was never really anyone here at this hour.
There were no powered signature so he wasn't particularly worried, even if he sighed dramatically as he stepped from the shadows--just to Emitt's right.

Emitt paused, head tilting as he listened to a snapping branch, and immediately he tensed, eyes narrowing as he turned, looking for the source of the sound. His focus shifted from his book and sister to the fact someone was there, and he wasn't sure who. "Sis?" He called carefully, before getting up, squaring himself up and lifting his head firmly. If not his sister... "Cy? Is that either of you?" He didn't think his brother knew the spot, but who knew if Lifa told. All her knew was someone there and in a motion his book was gone, the youn man beginning to look around.

Remarque paused at the voice and one brow raised. He removed himself from the cover of nature and looked at the source of the voice with no shortage of unimpressed curiosity.
"Do your sister or 'Cy' typically wander around in the park and jump out of bushes this late at night?" he asked, because that made less sense to him than stepping out of the mirror that was hidden there.
If Remarque had any shame in his attire, he'd shed it long ago. It was a mark of power and it made him immediately recognizable; he didn't care who saw. It hadn't come back to bite him in the a** yet, and he had accepted the ensemble as part of who he was.
"I'd recommend you have them stop. It's dangerous around here, especially at this hour."

Oh, siomeone he didn't know. Emitt was torn between a 'what the hell are you wearing' and 'eeewwww' but decided to be at least polite. His father wanted him to be less of a standoffish soul with new people, and he did love him, so WEmitt settled for a happy medium. "Cyrus, no. My sister, unfortunately, doesn't always make smart choices and has the fear response best suited to a Tyrannosaurus Rex." Which was to say, none at all. Seriously, he wondered if she was okay. Then he eyed Remarque calmly, thoughts impossible to pick apart. "Which brings me to the question -- whatever makes you so sure there's overmuch danger here? Some kind of trick? " The teenager studied Remarque carefully, eyes keen and expression serious. If this man meantyt to hurt his sister and or brother, he'd find Emitt to be very much a nasty layer of defense.

"Does it make more sense for a stranger to warn you about danger for fun, or...?"
Remarque gave him a look. "I mean, take it as you will, kid."
When he'd been younger, he hadn't wanted to listen to anyone--and probably wouldn't have listened to some guy that just jumped out of the bushes with a random warning. But, if it had been Remarque, he might have already been throwing punches.
"I'm 'so sure' there's danger here because I've been taking care of it. You haven't seen any weird," he paused, and chose a vague descriptor instead of what he wanted to say, "dogs around here, have you? Really ugly things. One tried to take a bite at me earlier, so. Yeah. Dangerous."
He was half a minute from powering into his Prince form and dropping a mirror over this kid to make him forget this conversation anyway, but he had a little more tact than that at least--especially if he could figure out if he'd seen the youma he was hunting.

Emitt lazily listened -- mostly to be polite, though even if he didn't trust the man, entirely, he did know he was supposed to make sure his sister met him safely. He did give a dry, bemused chuckle when the strangewr specificed '/'weird' or he might have answered 'You?' -- but he didn't. Instead he erred ion the side of polite, if still stiff and standoffish. "No. But I also can't leave quite yet." Emitt decided to assume there was a reason for the man's paranoia, and motioned stiffly. He syttruggled with new people, but he was trying. "I'm meeting my sister to head home sometime tonight, depending on when she remembers to come home. That said you haven't seen someone, looks similar, talking to creeps have you?" Because his sister seemed to have a malfuncrtioning fear rtesponse, which was to say... No fear response. Sigh.

Remarque clicked his tongue on the roof of his mouth contemplatively. “No, I’ve only just gotten here. But that’s too bad. I hope you don’t mean to say that your sister not only talk to creeps, but also has a tendency to forget to come home?”
Oh, that was just asking for trouble.
“She doesn’t have a tendency to go out in strange or garish outfits too, does she?”
That behavior was either incredibly foolish civilian behavior…
Or fairly typical powered behavior.

"She makes it home, she's just... Very social. Similar... My sister's good at defending herself if the only dactor in weaker guys.... Shgre's great but my sister can be dumb about social awareness at times." Emitt shruggewd. "Father says we just need to encourage her to be more careful by keeping an eye on her, encourage her to [ii]noy get into trouble. And... Well... She's my twin. Me she actually listens to. Somehow." He shook his head and saighed. "Now if she'd get here..." Then he paused, curiousdd. "Why did yopu ask about garish outfits? The only one I've seen is - no offense -- yours. Sister... Well my sister only sees those at conventions. Matbe with a family get together, if those.... penguin suits;/i]."
Emitt scrunched up his nose. Tuixedos were not his thing, personally speaking, and he considered them to be newedless.
Besides.
They didn't let him wear a tie, and he liked those.

Remarque didn’t look particularly impressed either way, nor did he seem offended by the comment on his outfit. He planted his hands on his hips and exhaled, tapping his finger in a rather exasperated manner.
“Oh. No reason. Just makes more sense when there’s a reason behind going out. The longer you stay out here, the more you’ll see.”
He exhaled and then clicked his tongue against the roof of his mouth again. “Doesn’t seem like she’s listening to you if she’s still not here. What if something were to happen to you? Isn’t she worried about you get hurt because of her?”

"My sister?" Emitt looked higfhly bemused at the question, before he grinned a slow soirt of grin that usually unintentionally unnerved his father. "Lifa and I are both capable, really. I just worry. She's mym only sister, you know? She might be the more reckless one, but that doesn't mean any of us worry about some bogeyman." But he did fuss like a man possessed over his twin and tried to cuddle as possible -- for all the trouble he gave her or got into for her, the teens were both capable.
Emitt was just a fussy, protective, and above all fretful worrywart. Letting her spread her wings was important though.
"I suppose she might think I'm invincible, comparatively, admittedly." Fine, the man seemed nice enough, so Emitt would try to not be his usual stiff self with new people. "She's helped me at times but I tend to be....." Possessive? Clingy? "Overp[rotective."
Good enough. "I just don't want someone overpowering and harming her. Sure, she can protect herself but that doesn't mean I want her to." Even if Cyrus called him clingy at times.
