Earth was beautiful.
Tianyi was used to his planet's ominous, eclipsed red sky, casting everything in its strange hue. Here, things were so different--a sky, smattered with stars, and a beautiful moon, casting a silvery light down. And the sky changed. He'd seen sunrise and sunset now, phenomena he'd only heard people speak of.
He hadn't realized how much he had never seen. Not until he was here, witnessing it all. It was easy to get lost in wonder.
And lost Tianyi was, staring up at the sky. He'd decided to wander one of the city's parks, to enjoy the way it was laid out and how it was lovely even with most of the green things dead, but he'd taken a seat and gotten entirely distracted by staring up at the sky.
What a world. And how little Tianyi had known of it.

“It’s beautiful, isn’t it?” Alastor asked from just behind the senshi. He hadn’t expected to get so close without drawing attention but it was easy to lose yourself when admiring Earth’s skies. He remembered how taken he’d been when he first arrived, but it had been so long since he’d been able to see the moon, the stars…
Tianyi could not have passed for an Earth Senshi like Alastor had been able to so it was easy to suspect that he might not have been here for too long yet.
Alastor had been making a few quick rounds tonight. He wasn’t looking for trouble, just to burn off a little energy and make sure there wasn't anything particularly alarming within the general vicinity. Tonight had been calm. He might have thought something was going on elsewhere with how few energy signatures had cropped up on his radar. The senshi in front of him was a welcome presence so he’d invited himself over.
“Do you recognize any of the stars?” he asked.

Tianyi started, a little, when he heard another voice. He hadn't even realized he wasn't alone--honestly, he was a little ashamed of himself for not noticing. That could have been trouble, but--it seemed like whoever this was didn't have bad intentions. So far. Yet.
"It really is," Tianyi said, and he sighed, contentedly. "We couldn't see the stars, on my world. The sky was...well, it wasn't wrong to me, I was born after it changed. But my older brothers said it wasn't always like that."
He scuffed his foot against the ground, a little idle motion. Maybe this Senshi was like him--from somewhere else.That would be nice.
"The sky is always so colorful here. Blues most of the time, but sometimes grays, and pinks and oranges and purples...back home, it was always red." He gave a slightly nervous little smile. "I'm Tianyi. It's very nice to meet you."

Though Alastor didn’t sit, neither did he stand with any sort of authority. He planted his hands on his hips and let his eyes roam across the sky. He nodded as Tianyi spoke, and it was only after his introduction that Alastor offered his hand and said, “Alastor, nice to meet you, too.”
Tianyi looked nervous, so he put a bit more effort into softening his smile. It wasn’t that Alastor looked particularly nefarious, but he always made a bit more effort for anyone who might have heard stories.
“I never made it out to your corner of the universe.” He didn’t know what the sky looked like before or after it changed, but he had a good imagination. A red sky hardly seemed welcoming.
“I’m rather partial to my world, but I can’t complain too much about Earth. Some of the prettier skies I’ve ever seen. When you can see them.” The light pollution put a damper on things, but he supposed if he’d had to choose between a dark world or one with light, he’d have always gone with the one that favored life.
“My sky looked wrong for a while, too. I lost sight of my stars for a long time,” he mused. “But they’re all back now. Just took a little work to clear the skies first. How long have you been here on Earth?”

Oh! This was someone else who came form beyond Earth's sky, and that made Tianyi perk up visibly.
"Oh," he said, "I bet your world is lovely. I've never seen anywhere but mine and Earth," he admitted. "Since...by the time I was born, we were cut off." He wondered if that was a common experience. If other worlds had been the same. Fang had indicated his was, but...Tianyi didn't want to just assume
"I've only been here a few days, but...I really like it, so far. What about you? Have you been here long?" He couldn't help but be curious and a little intrigued. "And...how did you clear the skies?"
Could his world be back to normal again? Was that something that was even possible?
....Was it even a world he would recognize as his home?
