It had been a day since the creature, and honestly…Kemi wasn’t over it. Still. She was on another patrol, hoping that she didn’t run into any more of those aberrations. They were vile, and she wanted to destroy each and every one. It was no wonder the Earth was such a battle zone. It was…dangerous.
Horribly so.
She wasn’t paying attention, she felt no auras, and she didn’t…even really think to look for those without. She had been alone for so long, there were times where she simply forgot that she wasn’t any longer, and so, she walked right into the sandy haired human and gave a small yelp, jumping back.
For a moment, she simply stared…unable to…figure out what she should do in this situation. This…was a human. And she was a Senshi and…
“Um. P-pardon me! I was…absolutely not looking where I was going and…you…were in my way?”
Was that skillful? She wasn’t sure, but she also…wasn’t sure what to do. Should she just…run?
Hope he turned around and walked the other way? The wings on her head twitched in worry, as did her tail and she stared, hoping that would solve the issue.

Fionan had been out, he needed a nice walk tonight to clear his head. He'd been working hard and sleep had eluded him tonight, worried about work and still even a bit worried over zombies. Still there had been nothing in the news, and his worry was diminishing with each day that passed, so he'd felt safe going out for a lat enight walk to clear his head. He would, with any hope, find himself able to sleep once he returned to his apartment.
What he was not expecting, among other things, was for someone who did not look human to walk right into him. He was, at this point, expecting something dealing with youma. The amount of them he'd dealt with in the last two or three months was troubling. He kept trying to push that from his mind though, not at all wanting to deal with such things, he was trying to avoid this war and magic and all of it. It just seemed to not want to let him go though.
"I-it's fine...I think we were in each others way...."

Kemi gave a small smile and nodded. “Yes…I…” She hesitated and finally, couldn’t hold her concern back any longer. “I…do apologize. I’m rather…well. Not new to the Earth, but should you be walking alone out here? Do you not know what dangers lie in wait on this planet?”
Her tail wrapped around her waist and she began fingering the fur on it, clearly worried. Concerned.
“I think…you humans should just…not go out at night. I ran into something last night that…Earth is dangerous and you should be more careful.”
Even if it was her fault she had run into him…he could still run into something that was far worse than a concerned Senshi.
“Walking around at night is just…foolish.”

"Dangers...this planet?" Oh god...this was an alien senshi wasn't it. Damn it. Groaning he wondered if there was anything around to bang his head off of, he felt like this just wasn't going to stop haunting him. Maybe it would if he did something about it? But than that wouldn't be running from it, or getting it to leave him alone, that would be him embracing it and just accepting it into his life. He didn't want to do that though. The only thing he was interested in was space.
"This city, if you mean this city when you say planet, has never been safe." Not for as long as he remembered anyway, there was always something on the news it seemed. A building on fire, some giant bats, little bunnies, and all manner of other things. People talked and the news reported it all and it all continued on, and people all continued to live in this city. "People continue to live, as we need to, and just deal with that this city throws at us."
Looking her over once more he pondered what to say...or do. She seemed to care, more than he expected, about him being out this late. "Humans....if you said that to anyone else, anyone who doesn't know, you'd stand out like a sore thumb. That's not something a normal person would say." And to go with his words, to show why she was safe speaking like this to him, he flashed his henshin pen for a moment. "Much as I try and avoid it." Avoid being a senshi, avoid magic, avoid this war. He still lived in this city and now more than ever he needed to be safe and thus he carried the pen with him.

Kemi fell quiet, and then stared at the pen in the male’s hand and slowly nodded. “Why…are you not powered then? Are you taking your patrol as a civilian just…to enjoy the night? Would you care to accompany me on my patrol?”
He was another ally. He was someone she could befriend and get to know, and she wanted to. Badly.
“I am always working to find new allies, but, you…won’t you join me?” Avoid it? What did he avoid? Why would he avoid it? That was…the whole purpose of being a Senshi…

"I don't like to power up, so this isn't a patrol. I wanted to clear my head before bed, long walks help at times." Though of course if something happened he might wind up powering up, as he'd been doing more and more lately it seemed. It was, and he would continue to say it, against his will. He did not want anything to do with this war and magic and all this nonsense...and yet he had the pen on his person...and he had been using it more and more recently. He was just denying it all and would continue to do so.
"I wouldn't mind joining you on a walk...though I assume I'll need to power up for that." Because if anyone saw him, a civilian, with a senshi it would just bring him trouble that he did not want to deal with. It would bring people to his appartment building and to his door step - no thank you.
So he did power up and stood there waiting, to see if she'd say anything.

Kemi gave a smile as he began to power up, though when she saw the outfit, she froze. She felt the blood draining from her face, and the wings on her head flattened and her tail bristled slightly. “...Ah…That...Y-yes…what…um. What is your name? Your sphere?”
Perhaps…it wasn’t him. Perhaps it was just someone who looked like him…
…If anything if it was who she was afraid it was…
They must not know her? Not remember her?
…Good.

Hearing her question the blond turned his eyes onto her and stopped for a moment, she was pale and seemed near to passing out. "You look pale - are you ok?" She was asking his name, his sphere, and he was more concerned for her right now than answering that. Did she not realize how pale she was - did she not feel ill or light headed? She must be - she looked it.
"Pleione, of fog. But that really doesn't matter - you should sit down. You look about ready to pass out." Reaching out to place a hand on her shoulder, to offer to support her because she looked as if she would need it any moment now.
"You just lost all color and look like a sheet of paper."

Kemi flashed what she hoped was a reassuring smile, but…he had a point. She did…feel off. Pleione swam in front of her for a moment, seeming to shift back to the Senshi who had once been her friend, and then back to who he was now and…
Well. She was just glad there was a bench nearby, and took a few, stumbling steps towards it before absolutely missing and landing on the ground. “You…I just.”
She drew in a long, slow breath and drew her knees to her chest, resting her forehead on them.
“...You don’t know me, do you?”

"I'd think I'd remember an alien. I've seen one before, dragged me up into space recently, but no I don't know any aliens really." He wasn't sure how well he'd say he knew the one armed alien senshi but apparently well enough for them to drag him up into space, and he would word it that way because he was trying to avoid senshi things. But really he could have avoided it, he could have said no, but he'd gone anyway.
"Why....do you know me? I don't know a lot about your kind but I've gatghered your all aliens...who have lived since before this all started - or something like that. I'm not so familiar with things." Even though it had been near to eleven years since first getting the pen he had just used to power up. He just avoided this all, something he was very good at till recently, but now it was catching up to him he supposed. And now his lack of knowledge was showing.
"If you'd like to explain things." Offering, as he spoke, to help her up and onto the bench. The ground was not all that comfortable.

Kemi visibly relaxed when he said that he didn’t know her. That…made things better, but…well. Not worse but…different. He…had no memories of her…which meant he couldn’t be angry with her…but also…
He didn’t remember that they had been friends once upon a time…though.
“I knew you before. Before all of this. We were friends. But.” She hesitated. He should know. She should be honest. She shouldn’t keep secrets. She wanted to change...
“There was an issue between us. You. didn’t know the whole story, but I ended up having to kill someone close to you, and you were very angry…but I never got the chance to tell you that they were working against you. I never wanted to hurt you…or. The you from before. But. It. I’m glad to see you again. Even if you don’t know me.”

That, all of it, was not something he expected. Well maybe not entierly true, with how she'd been speaking he did expect her to say something about knowing him in the ancient past. This was the first time he'd heard that, and that was a good thing if you asked him, but he didn't know how to respond to the rest. Did she expect him to be upset about it? Or was there any sort of responce she was expecting or wanting from him?
"The past is the past, I don't remember it and you had a reason for it. If that person was lucky maybe they were reborn here like everyone else seems ot have been." Including himself apparently, though he was still trying to avoid and deny all of this. It wasn't that he didn't believe it all, how could he? But he would liek to avoid it all as if he might catch the plague and die if he embraced it all. "What are you senshi of and who are you? If I can ask, since I've told you the same already." Since he had once apparently known her. He got the feeling he wouldn't be able to avoid her...just like he couldn't avoid that one with the bunny like ears.

Kemi relaxed and gave a small smile then, pleased that there would be no repercussions from her honesty. It…was good, honestly. She felt like she could relax with that. If…she could have forgiveness…she could move on. This.
“I am Kemi, the Senshi of Deception. It is lovely to meet you, and I hope that we can be allies. Friends, even. I…am trying to have a better reputation for now. I want to be a better Senshi. I. Made a lot of mistakes in the past. And those mistakes cost me my planet. My home.”
She drew in a breath and looked at Pleione. “I hope you will give me a chance."

"You will find that people make mistakes - it is part of being human. We aren't perfect. I would assume, by what you've said, that the same applies to aliens..or at least those from your home." Seeing as she had not been perfect, clearly, he was certain no one on her planet was perfect. So it was expected to do things you might later regret.
Why did it feel like he was being pulled into this senshi thing, into this war? he didn't ask for it and he'd been doing his best to avoid it. but lately it just seemed impossible for him to do so. Now he had this one here and he really didn't want to upset her anything...the guilt would eat at him, and he knew it already, he didn't like feeling guilt. Damn it.
"Y-yheah I think we can be friends. I can give you a chance....new life so new start and all that." And damn it if it didn't feel like he was taking a step into this whole mess now...that it was somehow offical.

Kemi gave a brighter smile and nodded. “That is wonderful. I…very much appreciate it. I think…we will be good friends…I…if you would ever like to come and see Kemi…I…have not gone up there since…I have come to the Earth but. I would like to go back. I simply…have not wanted to go alone. And if you ever want company to go back to your home, I would love to accompany you.”
She pulled out her phone and held it up, snapping his picture, registering him to her contacts.
“I am…growing hopeful now. I think.”
