Bélénos hadn't yet had time to do... well, much of anything, really. With her superpowered side. God, she looked so cute. She really needed to get out more like this. It felt good, to be able to jump so high and run so far and have access to real, literal magic. She felt so powerful and not alone, anymore. It was... so, so nice. She hummed happily as she walked along, mirror shard in hand and ready to summon her mirrorwraith at any moment to absorb energy from unsuspecting people. Of course, when she felt the energy signature nearby, she freaked out instead and shouted her spell. "Hopes and Dreams!" ....Right. That.... that didn't sound intimidating. At all. Noir Songbird User Image Sailor Scout Attack: Hopes and Dreams! The sweet scent of pears fills the area. Allies (regardless of faction) will feel bolstered and more hopeful that they can achieve their current goal. They feel revitalized, like they can manage to hang on a bit longer, and everything will be okay. This lasts for 20 seconds, has 3 uses, and has a radius of 10 feet.

Carterhaugh liked to think that he was quite talented at minding his own business. His general approach to magical nonsense had become "if I try to avoid it, it can't hurt me." After all, the other side seemed....messy. And their stated beliefs did not comport with what he knew to be true, nor with the very facts of his existence as a Knight of Earth.
But the strange aura he felt was a new one--it didn't feel like the Negaverse, even if it still felt off--and so he approached, and then stopped, frowning at the odd Senshi in front of him. she didn't look like Langite, but she was still in black. Hmm, a different type of Chaos Senshi?
He opened his mouth to ask her a question, but. She shouted a magic spell, and he braced himself. Jumpy, it seemed, and maybe with good reason? He wasn't sure. Still, an inhale, and he smelled pears, and....that was it?
"Are....are you alright?" He asked, frowning.

Bélénos squeaked, then cleared her throat and slumped her shoulders a bit. Right. Her magic was basically useless against an enemy. She was totally boned. But... the guy she'd just tried to drive away (hey, maybe if someone was allergic to pears, or something, her magic wouldn't be that bad... but. that was beside the point), the guy just seemed... confused and concerned and she peeked at him, relaxing ever so slightly. "H...Hi?" she stammered, giving a little wave. "I... I think I am. I'm sorry, I thought..." She trailed off, shaking her head. "I was hoping you weren't someone who would try to hurt me," she explained. "But like, better safe than sorry?"

Carterhaugh exhaled.
"No harm, no foul," he said, and he put a hand on his hip, taking her in for a moment. "But you might want to be careful--I can't really hit back with magic, don't have any to hit with, but someone else who can might be jsut as panicky as you and take offense to the smell of pears." A wry grin crossed his face, briefly.
"Anyway, uh. Sorry if this is a bit rude, but what exactly are you? You don't look like the Negaverse Senshi I met before."

Bélénos shivered, nodding. This guy was making good sense. She really, really needed to curb her reactions with her useless magic. The best she could do was physically fighting, and even that was questionable. Her exercise was riding horses for gods' sake! But maybe she should look into karate or something... She cleared her throat, smiling a bit at the question. "Well, I'm Sailor Bélénos, and I'm a Dark Mirror senshi!" she answered brightly, "We don't kill people like the Negaverse do. We just, ah, take some energy. For our homes in Mirrorspace." She grinned shyly, gesturing a bit with her hands like "well, what can you do?" and shuffling her feet slightly. "We, um. We like the idea of building new homes together, instead of... Attaching ourselves to our pasts. Which is like, fine, if that's your thing! We just don't... do that. We pretty much like being left alone and not hurting people."

"A pleasure to meet you, Sailor Bélénos. I'm Carterhaugh, Page of Earth." He extended a hand. She seemed cheerful, now that they'd cleared up the chance for any hostility. This was an opportunity to learn about yet another aspect of the war, and add to the picture he was trying to build. The more he understood, the better he could take this whole mess on.
"That sounds interesting. Is there more you can tell me about it? If you don't know a lot, I understand; I imagine there's a lot to take in, and I certainly don't know everything about my own side. But if you have questions I do know the answer to, I would be quite happy to help answer them."

Bélénos reached out and shook Carterhaugh's hand, beaming. "Nice to meet you too," she chirped. "Um, yeah, that's about... all that I know right now? It hasn't been very long, you see. But as I get stronger, I get to start building my own realm inside the Mirrorspace, which is cool. And we take small amounts of energy from people using Mirrorwraiths, which.... Well, I think they look like foxy, doggy things made of crackling mist. I'd show you, but he might think I'm trying to take from you..." She trailed off, shrugging her shoulders. "But it's only for Senshi. We don't have any knights or any kind of equivalent. What is it like being a knight? You said you can't hit back with magic? Do you not have any? What's your weapon stuff like, then?"

Carterhaugh listened, thoughtfully. Every bit of new information added to his personal bank of knowledge, and the more he understood, the better. That the Dark Mirror was Senshi-only was...fascinating, and Carterhaugh wondered if there was a reason for that. Perhaps whatever made them was simply incompatible with a Knight's starseed. Perhaps it was something else. They hardly knew enough to speculate out loud.
"Being a Knight is....interesting," Carterhaugh said. "I don't have magic yet, but I'm given to understand I'll get it later. For now, I have this." They produced their flower with a flourish, and laughed. "Not much, but pretty, at least. And I know that somewhere, there's a Wonder I protect--Carterhaugh. But I haven't made time to go there. I ought to." They sighed, softly.
"I won't keep you much longer, if you have work to do gathering energy for your Court. Thank you for talking with me--I appreciate the chance to learn."

Bélénos smiled at the flower, smothering a giggle. Gosh, that was... unfairly kind of lame, wasn't it? When Senshi got their magic right away... "It is pretty," she agreed, "And thank you, as well! It's always nice to meet new people, especially nice ones who don't attack you after you spray pear-scented Febreeze in the air." She chuckled at her own joke and gave a little finger wiggling wave before she bounded off to go do her energy gathering. That fella was really nice, and she hoped to run into them again.
