Okay so he had tried to take his Commander's advice and just explore. Tried being the key word here... But he hadn't gotten to far from the camp. So now here he was, hiding just out of sight of the camp and anyone from it. Guess Val had been right, when she said he was scared. He sighed quietly to himself, waiting for enough time to pass before he could just head back without anyone questioning him. Lixian sighed quietly to himself.

Kerberos had intended to drop by the camp and perhaps invite Caedus, Lyndin, or both on another visit to his world. The promised day of the comet's arrival was approaching rapidly, and he sort of wanted to have them for one more visit--maybe show them the First Flower, since he'd managed to discover that.
But he spotted a pink figure in Vanguard thistle, and frowned. That must have been one of the Cadets, but...they looked like they were...tucked away?
He moved closer, and his wisp floated ahead, leading him closer to the lost Cadet.
"...Lixian?" He remembered him; the nervous one who had had so many questions about why Kerberos trusted them. "Are you okay?"

Lixian yelped, jumping from his hiding spot. What was it with people and trying to scare the life out of him. Though his panic quickly subsided when he realized he knew that voice. "Kerberos." He wheezed, rubbing at his face. "Ah.. Yeah. I'm okay.. I'm just biding my time I guess." He blinked, watching the little wisp hover about. He'd seen it the last time they'd met up, but he'd never asked about it. "I realize you should be asking me this, but what are you doing here??" Was the senshi here to give energy again? Lixian really hoped he wasn't overdoing it and putting a strain on himself.

Kerberos shrugged. "I found something interesting on my planet, and thought I would show it to Caedus and Lyndin--they seemed so interested in the way the life restored last time I brought them there, I thought it would be good to show them more."
He smiled, broadly. "But that can wait. Maybe I'll bring them to celebrate after the big battle." He looked Lixian up and down, looking to see if he looked alright. "What about you? Planning to go exploring?"

"Oh.." Lixian said, glancing from the Senshi to the camp. He hadn't meant to derail anyone else's plans by hiding. "I'm sure both are somewhere in camp if you wanted to find them. I could help you find them if you want." The cadet shrugged slightly, finally pulling himself from his hidng spot. "I had thought about it but didn't really get that far." He woulda had to use a glamour.. "I have a bit of a love hate relationship with glamours." He had a few feelings about them, both good and bad. Then he sighed, as his shoulders sagged in defeat. "Honestly? With my luck, chances are I woulda got lost in the city." He didn't wanted to bother anyone in camp to go with him. Lixian glanced back at Kerberos then. "What is your planet like??"

Kerberos's wisp, which had been hovering around Lixian in a way that seemed, somehow, to indicate concern, although it had no face with which to express such feelings, bumped up against Lixian's cheek, and then floated back to Kerberos and vanished. Kerberos sighed. Silly little thing--it liked to come out only when it thought it was appropriate.
"Don't worry about it; I'll bother them another time. I'm sure they've got plenty to worry about." He shrugged. "Anyway, I bet it's weird for you to have to glamor up, yeah? Like, when I power down, that's...just...who I am normally."
....Well, that wasn't entirely accurate. Sometimes, Kerberos felt more like "him" than Keiran.
"Anyway, if you want, I can take you up to my planet. Show you around a little." He could show Lixian the gardens that had so impressed Caedus and Lyndin. That, Kerberos thought, would be lovely.

Lixian made a small confused noise when the wisp brushed up against him, throwing it a curious look as it trailed back towards Kerberos before disappearing. "...It reminds me of a cat." He said, blinking at the spot where the thing had disappeared. "Ah...It's a lot of things really. I get the need for it. I don't exactly blend in... So it's good for not getting caught. But then I start to wonder, if I'm using a glamour, whose to say someone else isn't?" The paranoia about who was a real person, and who was a fake... He didn't want to dive to deep into that rabbit hole. "But... I guess there is a bit of weirdness to using one. It's like covering up who I really am." Maybe that wasn't so different for Kerberos. Powering down into a civilian.. "You could live just fine.. Senshi or Civilian... But if I were to go into the city without it?" Who knew what would happen to him. It was Kerberos' turn to get a confused look from Lixian. "...That's... not going to cause an issue with anyone is it? I wouldn't mind it but, I don't want to hold you up if you had anything else you needed to do."

Kerberos laughed. "Sounds accurate," he said.
But he smiled, and extended his hand. "I get that. So don't stress. No glamor necessary in space. And I promise--you won't be messing anything up; I can go to my planet about every three days, so I'll just have to wait a few more. So, id you want to come, just...take my hand, and I'll bring us out there."
The offer was open. Kerberos was glad to make it. Whether Lixian accepted or not, he was sure they could find something to do.
