Keiko was planning on another trip to her homeworld today, and had all of the essentials packed away in subspace, as well as a bag that was filled with a large bag of concrete mix, and a shovel that she held in her other hand.
The bag was heavy but she supposed that was understandable, and she put it down for a moment to wipe her brow as she got her senshi phone out to get ready to head up to Keiko.
The feeling of a chaotic aura made her pause, her thumb hovering over the button that would safely whisk her away to space but.
But the faint blue glow she saw made her pause. “...Lilith?” The sound of the corrupt’s name in the night was wonderful, and she realized just how much she missed the beautiful woman. Missed her kisses more than anything but. Such could be fixed if it truly was her.
The one reason she was hesitating was because the aura felt stronger now though…it was only fair that Lilith got to get stronger just as she did.
“I’m just about to go up to my homeworld if you want to join me.”

It had been a while since Lilith had seen Keiko, and she had to admit, she was a bit antsy for their next meeting. It always felt like she was walking a line she had to be very careful of crossing--like there was a big, flashing EXIT sign over her head that she had to carefully ignore, lest she step through the wrong door and not be able to go back.
The metaphor was a little convoluted, but the feeling was there.
Still, she felt something warm and soft in her chest, every time she saw Keiko, and there it was again.
She smiled, soft and gentle. "Hey, Kei," she said, and she didn't hesitate to go over, to get close, to cup her cheek and steal a quick kiss. It had been too long, anyway. And, hell, she could ask Keiko if she knew anything about Nembus. "You look good," she said. "And I'd love to join you for another trip to your homeworld. Got plans?"

The kiss on the cheek was wonderful but Keiko was always greedy for more, and so she captured Lilith’s lips for a moment, pressing close to her before taking her hand. “Just rebuilding! Lil, there are spiders there! The one I saw was so cute, and let me tell you something, I detest spiders, but it was…god, almost like a cat? And so stupidly soft, I pet it and it just melted. I want to keep fixing up the building that I’ve been staying in, I had some help patching a few holes and I brought some concrete mix so I can…do some more!”
She held the shovel out, grinning impishly. “Help me carry it? I can’t hold your hand and everything else too!”
Keiko paused at her words and laughed, cheeks going pink as she thought of everything she could hold when they were safely up on her homeworld.

The kiss made her heart flutter. This was dangerous, she knew. A deadly dance.
"Spiders?" Lilith raised her eyebrows. That didn't seem like cause for so much delight, but the way Keiko described...they certainly didn't sound like the kinds of spiders Lilith was used to having to scoop out of her apartment. They seemed almost...cute, friendly even.
"Well, here," she held out her hands to take some of the equipment, "let me help, some. Least I can do is carry your bags, if you're taking me all the way to space." She laughed, shaking her head a little. This was going to be fun--she loved getting to see Keiko's planet, and spend time with her girlfriend, and just....have a nice time.

Keiko beamed, nodding. “Yes! Spiders! Cute precious spiders.” She took hold of Lilith’s hand, lacing fingers with her and pressing the home button on her senshi phone, laughing as the slap of icy air hit her in the face. “God! I always feel like it’s super cold back home, but then I get up here and I’m always proven wrong. At least it’s not in a blizzard like it was the last time I was up here, that was–”
Something flew at her face, and went right up her nose and Keiko yelped and tried to blow it out, catching whatever it had been. She blinked and began to smile as she saw a white ladybug covered in pale blue snowflakes instead of spots. “Oh my god! Lilith! A ladybug just flew up my nose!”
Keiko looked so excited and held her hand out, eyes sparkling as the tiny bug crawled over her palm. “I have ladybugs now!”

Keiko's planet was always a blast of frigidity, every time the visited, and Lilith had to hug herself a little and try not to shiver.
"I've really got to be better about packing jackets," she said, and a soft laugh passed her lips, but she blinked--at the thing that few at Keiko, and then--
"A...ladybug?" Her eyes went wide, and she moved to stand next to her girlfriend, leaning over. "That's incredible! Keiko, your planet--it's alive!" There was something wonderful, and magical, about that--about living creature,s in space, even among this harsh, wintery world. "Oh, darling, I can't believe--do you know how this is happening?"

Keiko nodded eagerly, holding the small bug out for Lilith to see. “Yeah…yeah it seems like it’s starting to be! I feel so happy I could cry, seriously. Um…my friend Encke said that it might have been something to do with a comet? Or…something? I’m not really sure, but he said he had some life on his world too. One of these days I’m going to go and see it as well.”
The small bug crept along Keiko’s hand, and then ruffled its wings and flew up, landing right on the tip of Lilith’s nose, beginning to crawl up towards her forehead.
Watching, Keiko laughed softly. “Lil! I think he likes you! And why wouldn’t he? You’re perfect!” She beamed at her girlfriend and glanced around the broad, icy expanse of the world. “Come one, we’ll go get a little warmer in my shelter, and I can show you all that I’m working on! And hopefully, you can meet my itsy bitsy spider too!” Even if he wasn’t quite so itsy bitsy.

Lilith nodded. This was....nothing short of a miracle, if you asked her; the place was beautiful, and wonderful, and so gloriously alive it took her breath away.
"I had no idea this was happening," she said, softly.
Not for the first time, she wondered what Lilith was like. What could the planet that produced the Senshi of Kelpies look like? Keiko was yuki-onna, and her planet was a winter wonderland; would Lilith be lakes and rivers and water? She could only guess.
The ladybug landed on her, though, and she stilled, frozen in place so as not to startle it. But Keiko called for her, and so she turned, and watched it fly off--a little sad, but there was much to see.
"Shelter sounds nice. And I would love to see what else you're working on."
She also needed to ask about Nembus, but.....there would be time for that, she was sure. There was always plenty of time.
