It wasn’t as though Retzian was…expecting every Super Senshi that she met to be Dagon, of course she wasn’t expecting that…she wanted it, of course but…she didn’t expect anything.
Now…she was surprised by the sheer number of Super Senshi who weren’t Dagon…and the sheer number of them that she wanted to get to know…and even befriend.
And as she teleported to just in front of this one, there was that flash of disappointment at not seeing blue...but also a tentative hope that…perhaps this could end up as another ally?
Taking a moment to look the male up and down, Retzian gave a small nod and reached her hand out, going for a handshake, though it was poorly aimed, she had to admit.
“Good Evening.”

Cleeia had been doing his very best to keep a low profile, really he had. The Negaverse, he knew, did not exactly take kindly to traitors, and he was one, and so he was gratuitously avoiding them.
Did that make him a bit s**t as a Senshi? Perhaps. Was he going to do anything to change that? Absolutely not. He had so many images in his head of exactly what the Negaverse might do to a treasonous thing like him, and exactly zero desire to discover if he was right or wrong or if it was perhaps somehow even worse than he could imagine, so most of the time, he only powered up to visit his planet and then booked it home as fast as possible.
Tonight, though, he was making one of his rate off-week excursions--sometimes it just felt nice to be Cleeia, because Cleeia felt like more of a person than Camille Augustin.
It would be tonight that he finally ran into the Negaverse again.
Did he scream, when the Captain appeared in front of him? Yes, absolutely. He also panicked and reached for his magic, squiggling the strange sigil in the air and praying that what it inspired her to do took her as far away from him as possible.
"I'm definitely not a traitor and please don't kill me," he gasped, very quickly, which was probably a somewhat suspicious thing to say--but, well, he panicked. Whoops.Quote: Super Sailor Scout Attack: Secret Inspiration! Cleeia speaks the name of his attack, drawing the form of a strange glyph in the air, which appears glowing yellow as he draws it. The glyph glows, and then bursts into yellow mist, expanding out to six feet around Cleeia. Anyone within the mist finds themself seized with mad inspiration--they feel as if they suddenly understand how to get past any roadblocks they've been experiencing how to sort their s**t out in general, et cetera. This fervent inspiration lasts for 30 seconds, and then ends dramatically, leaving the target suddenly devoid of the understanding they had. It can leave behind a lingering sensation that if only they could remember, they would be able to fix all their problems, or other haunting effects at player discretion. Cleeia can use this magic twice per battle.

Retzian frowned slightly and opened her mouth to say something, to reassure him that, no, she wasn’t here to fight…when the magic hit her.
And…oh! Oh, there were ideas of how to leave! She had to get a new place to live first, figure out what to do with her money…but. Maybe Emily could help with that, she always had ideas...and she never asked many questions.
Retzian began to pace, her outstretched hand running through her own hair instead and after a moment, she looked back towards the Senshi.
“Wait. What do you mean by that? You were a part of the Negaverse and now you’re not? You’re a Senshi…”
Reaching for him, Retzian grabbed hold of his wrist so he couldn’t run, her eyes desperate as the thoughts flew through her mind, though, they grew even more desperate when the thoughts…the ideas just…
Stopped.
“How? What did you do to leave? How did you plan for it?”

Cleeia swallowed, standing still and frozen, praying that whatever she was doing, pacing back and forth, it was not "coming up with creative ideas to kill him."
He wanted to bolt, but she grabbed his wrist, and he squeaked.
"Um," he said, finally, when she spoke, "I--I'll tell you, but you have to swear to me that you're not going to use it to hunt anyone down." that sounded, he thought, quite good, and very brave, and definitely like he took this super seriously and was considering all the possibilities inherent in an officer demanding to know how he got out of the Negaverse.
"If you want to get out yourself, I want to help you! But not if you're looking to hunt down traitors or whatever."

Her grip on his wrist tightened, and for a moment, Retzian felt a deep sense of annoyance. “Are you really in any position not to answer my questions? I could kill you right now, and there’s nothing that you can do about it. How easy would it be for me to just drain you of all of your energy? Take your starseed?”
Her voice was growing more strained, getting higher with each word and she wasn’t sure how she was feeling just.
That she was.
“You need to tell me now, or else. Just…tell me, okay? I need to know. I need.”
What? Needed what?
She wanted to see Dagon. She wanted to figure things out. Retzian wanted to be on solid ground again.
“Just tell me. Now.”

Cleeia swallowed. Ah, so that was how it was going to be. Jumping straight to threats, because there was no other option.
Ah well. Cleeia was very susceptible to threats, so she had chosen exactly the correct tactic.
"Okay, okay!" He waved his hands, anxiously. "I only planned a little bit--there was--there is--this boy, and I really liked him, but the Eternal I worked under told me that I had to corrupt or kill him, and I didn't want that, so I kind of...decided that the only way was to get out. So I found him, and he helped me. Called for someone called Cosmos, and she showed up and purified me. I guess you need her or another Princess, but, uh. I would genuinely have no idea how to find a different one, sorry. Cosmos seems to like...show up if you wish for it hard enough, or something, though. At least, that's how it worked for me."
He smiled, sheepishly.
"Uh, hope that helps?"

Help? How was that supposed to help? She had to wish to be saved? Find a princess?
Her eyes narrowed and Retzian shook her head, shoving the Senshi backwards in utter disgust. “You’re just ******** with me, aren’t you. Well, just remember, you attacked me first. Just like the last Senshi I met.”
Well…the…no, that was still a correct statement. Daphne had attacked her too, but…
“Just get lost and bother someone else. And maybe don’t attack when someone’s just trying to shake hands. You Asshat.”
Retzian’s gaze was cold and she turned on her heel, keeping up whatever dignity she could as she walked away.
He was useless, so there was no point in keeping up the conversation.
