~*~*~
Huntite himself was at the point she was supposed to meet him at so his power signature should be a beacon for her to head towards soon enough. He had his communication tablet out and was sending messages back and forth with Cuprite as he waited for Proto to arrive.
~*~*~
Proto did indeed pick up on Huntites signature, landing gently in front of him. She raised her eyebrows and tried to peer over to look at his tablet. "Stop Watching dirty things…" she grinned, knowing it wasn't true but she had to tease him somewhat since he always manages to make her a tomato anytime he's around.
~*~*~
“Sorry, I must have recorded you last night.” Huntite didn’t miss a beat to tease back, sending one last message then folding the tablet back into its pen-like wand mode and tucking it into his stuff space. “Ready to go?” He asked with a grin.
~*~*~
That got her to blush really hard.
“You did NOT record me!” she huffed, deciding that she would like to be a bit lazy. Proto walked over and hopped onto huntites back, wrapping her legs around his waist. “Now I am~”
~*~*~
Huntite chuckled and just put his hands under her hips to help her stay on, then started to roof hop away. Soon enough they could feel another chaos signature nearby and he headed directly for it. When they were closer, another Captain could be seen sitting at a table on a rooftop with something covered up in a basket beside him.
~*~*~
Cuprite gave a smile when the two were close enough. “Glad you both could make it.” He said and gestured to the two seats open at the table. “Feel free to sit down when you are ready.”
~*~*~
Oh! She knew this captain!
Proto was a bit surprised, but not at the same time. Of course negaverse agents would know each other….Still weird that it would be THE Hux. "How did you manage to have all this set up?" Nevermind the fact that she wanted to ask just WHY, but she would get to that later, slipping off of Hunt's back to go sit at the table. There were all kinds of treats and teas. "Whooa Hux, did you make All of this!?" It looked delicious!
~*~*~
He picked up an already full tea cup and gave a sip before answering the Senshi’s questions. “I have my ways and yes I did.” Cuprite said with another smile. “Dig in, I brought plenty and the kettle is set to keep warm so hot water won't be an issue for a bit.” He had brought a backup jug of water if it was needed and the kettle was both battery powered and electric so heating it up would not be a problem.
~*~*~
Huntite sat down on the remaining chair and started to fix his own cup of tea as the two talked. “You will find that he could open his own bakery and it would be extremely popular, if he wasn’t too busy as a teacher anyway.” He offered up as he let the tea seap and looked over at Proto with an amused chuckle.
~*~*~
Whoa….
So Cup was pretty talented~
Proto made her tea, letting it seap like the other two men before her. "Do you two do this often?" If so she wanted to be a part of it! Tea time would be the best time! She grabbed a cookie, biting into it with a delicious hummmmn. It was so good! "Why be a teacher? Your baking is amazing!"
~*~*~
Huntite gave a small shrug at her question. “Fairly often enough. At least the getting together and eating something part, it’s not always on rooftops.” He said while he snagged a blueberry muffin to eat while waiting on his tea to finish seeping.
~*~*~
“It’s a good way to keep up to date with what has been going on.” Cuprite said before he sipped his tea again. “I have a direct line to our General so if any orders or questions that aren’t immediate can pass though this way as well.” Not that he had any plans on explaining just why he had a direct line to the Senshi.
~*~*~
Proto knew generals were an equivalent to what Acubens is, which was quite powerful. "That's pretty cool!" This was all so fascinating! "How does the direct line work? Do you use a phone? We use mirrors~ Do you have a youma cup?" Not that she was in a hurry to meet said youma, her encounter with Fenrir being more than enough. She did want to know just how easy it was to acquire them, since Dark Mirrors had wraith.
~*~*~
Cuprite gave a polite smile and skipped over the questions on how the direct line works. “Generally we use specialized tablets to get in touch, cell phones work as well for anyone that knows civilian forms.” At the question of a youma he shook his head. “No, I don’t have a personal youma. I haven’t found any that clicks with me yet, nor have I got looking.”
~*~*~
“Like the tablet you saw me messing with a few minutes ago.” Huntite added in before Proto could ask more about the tablets. “Not every Agent has, or wants to have, a personal youma. As far as I’m aware, it’s a much closer connection than between a Mirror and a Wraith.”
~*~*~
Well that made sense. Mirror Wraiths couldn't "bond" with a Mirror senshi like a youma could to an officer. "Can the Corrupt senshi have a bond with a negaverse agent?" Granted, she probably could've asked all these questions to Remarke or Acubens, but it was nice to hear from the source.
~*~*~
Cuprite shook his head as he started to answer. “No more than a White Moon Senshi to a Knight. Basically you can team up but any bond greater than the ones you get from fighting alongside comrades and or friends isn’t possible.” Sometimes he wonders if that would make things easier but other times he figured that was for the best.
~*~*~
“The bond between an Agent and a personal youma is different from how groups of powereds bond anyway.” Huntite said as he finished preparing his tea. ”It’s a bond for life. Fenrir is with me until one of us dies permanently.” Well he could also ‘purify’ into a Knight and that would set Fenrir free from the bond but that was something that would never happen.
~*~*~
So basically being a dark mirror senshi was the right thing to be.
Proto prepped her tea and took a sip, sighing contently. "What else do you talk about?" She knew if there was anything top secret she was not about to hear it, but there had to be SOMETHING that two buff dudes would talk about with a dainty cup of tea.
~*~*~
“That depends, there are certainly a few different things Huntite and I would be discussing right now if you were not here but not all of that would be classified information.” Cuprite said with a slight wave of his hand and a shrug before he took a cookie to bite into.
~*~*~
“In other words….” Huntite said with a pause and a smirk slowly crossed his face. “Gossiping.” He then took a sip of his tea with a sly look to his face. If said look and pose was similar to a meme, well he would certainly not admit it. “You could ask questions though and we can see what we can answer.”
~*~*~
Gossip?
Who would've thought?
Proto shook her head, "I am out of questions, but this tea is peak deliciousness!" She did wonder though, "Could we do this during the day, or is it a secret negaverse agent thing?"
~*~*~
“I’m glad you like it.” Cuprite said with a smile. “As for doing this during the day, it’s possible however I’m not one to actually power down around Mirror’s easily, sorry. It’s for protecting more than just myself.” He gave a shrug and an apologetic look. Unless they were absolutely trusted by his cousin or there were reasons that proved they weren’t likely to betray any knowledge that could come with that, either unconsciously or not, he wouldn’t do it. “That isn’t something that would happen any time soon.”
~*~*~
Huntite paused briefly, remembering one of the few Mirror’s that Cuprite did depower around happened only due to extreme circumstances. “Powered meetings are fine though. Just would have to work around things if that’s what you want to do.”
~*~*~
There was a bit of a deflated look to her face, but Proto quickly recovered. Well one day she would get Hux to open up for her.
~*~*~
Huntite chuckled at the look on Proto's face. Proto would just have to get used to working for that trust as he knew well why Cuprite was protective over his civilian identity. In the mean time however, there was gossiping to do.
~*~*~
Cuprite his his own amused look behind his tea cup and switched the topic to something more mundane then what they had been talking about. If the Senshi didn't have any more pressing questions he wasn't going to offer up needless information on the workings of the Negaverse to her.
