Standing outside in the storm, Erinome's antennae jittered with nervousness as he wondered if this would effect his planet too. He'd been meaning to go up and take another look, to try and see if he couldn't start rooting out those bad vines and pull them like the weeds they were. If it worked in gardening, maybe it would work in this case too, but he wasn't sure. Hurrying along with a small bag of supplies, some gardening tools, and sprays that were supposedly good for getting rid of bad plants, he didn't notice that there was another senshi out as he made it through that clearing, he checked each night. Villon had been lenient on needing healing, the corrupt apparently not getting into fights as much. But he still checked like clockwork just in case, tonight that meant he paused as he saw someone new and different, a little sort of thing moving towards them that he couldn't quite tell what it was. Holding the strap of his bag, the small senshi blinked and offered a wave. "Hello?" They didn't feel like Villion or Ako, so he was kind of confused as he moved closer and followed whatever was on the ground. At least he thought he saw something but it almost seemed sort of transparent, maybe it was just a trick of the light but he wasn't sure.

When Hekate felt an aura brush the edge of her senses, she knew she should have turned her heel and run away. Throughout her tenure as a senshi, she had skillfully avoided running into any Eternals or Knights while powered; with the exception of Lenka and Remarque who were both members of the Dark Mirror Court and obviously didn’t count. At best her magic was a trip hazard and seemed to only work on occasion. But she knew, against someone of that rank, it would be evaded easily. Unfortunately, the closest mirror she knew of was several blocks away, a good sprint if she was an avid runner, but seeing that she did not exercise all that often, she knew she’d never made it before getting caught. No, just be polite and it’ll be fine… she tried to console herself as the aura approached at a cautious pace. A soft voice cut through the silence, timid and childlike which matched their innocently confused expression as he looked owlishly in her Wraith’s direction. “Hello,” she replied, her tone wary. When he moved closer, Hekate paused, head tilted slightly to the side as her gaze was drawn to the leafy feather things atop his head. I’m confused… Surely they had to be part of his uniform, attached to the hat maybe. Are those suppose to be feathers? Or ears… she wondered to herself, maybe leaves… I’m guessing they’re the senshi of lettuce or spring onions. They looked cute and a part of her wanted to reach out and touch them but Hekate stilled her hand and remained where she stood as a means to avoid being attacked suddenly. “How may I help you?” She asked since commenting on the weather felt cliche especially since it was quite chilly out.

Brightening at the mention of help, he nodded and moved closer. "Ah, can help? Help with plants?" Tilting his head slightly, his antennae followed with the motion as they moved slightly in his curiosity. "New senshi?" Commenting not on just the fact they didn't feel like any of the other types he'd met, but also because they didn't feel as strongly as others did. He was still figuring things out, how the humans handled things. The thing that had him most curious was the not quite solidly colored fabric on their outfit, the color of it reminded him of freshly sprouting plants and it drew his eyes to the fabric. "Oh, Erinome." Remembering what Ian had said about introducing yourself if it wasn't a fight. Nodding again as he focused back on her face. "My name." Another nod as to confirm things as he adjusted the bag slung over his shoulder to make it a bit less uncomfortable.

Oh sweet summer child… he sounded so innocent with how he spoke that it caught her off guard. Normally children, or rather Chibi’s, were often quick to throw insults out like they were on a playground pretending to be some hero of a make-believe game. But as he spoke those feathered things atop his head moved in a most distracting way and only when he moved closer did she realize that they were not a part of his uniform, but rather a part of him. I… I don’t understand. How… Hekate blinked, her expression pinched in confusion. She wanted clarification about what she was seeing but the way he looked at her with an eager curiosity made her crack a smile. A soft chuckle escaped her. “No,” she shook her head to the contrary to his last question. “I’m not a new senshi. I’ve been a member of the Dark Mirror Court for almost ten years now. My name is Hekate.” “I’m more comfortable with animals than plants,” as a veterinarian she was more practiced with animals. “But I’d be willing to try if it’s something easy.” Glancing down at the bag Erinome was holding it seemed he was well prepared for whatever task he was on his way to do.

Scrunching his brows up a bit in confusion of the new type of senshi and the name that came with it, he realized he really needed to learn how long time meant here versus his home. The issue had come up before with Ian and Xander and now again here. Was ten years a long time for a human? The mention of animals did have him droop slightly for a moment, not because of their preference but because he knew nothing like that was around anymore on Erinome. "No animals... but ok!" Thinking for a minute, he pulled out his phone and tapped around on it for a moment. Something had been off lately, which gave him even more reason to check things out, but having company would be good too. Ian would agree and he didn't want to worry them if something was going badly on his world. "Help up there, on Erinome." Nodding again to confirm things as he pointed up at the sky. "Okay?" Offering his hand out to them, he hadn't exactly tried bringing someone other than Ian before so he wasn't sure if it worked the same. But the idea of another person maybe going to his world was exciting, visitors always had brought nice new plants so maybe he could convince new people to do the same as he worked to fix things.

“Up there?” Her tonal influx sounded skeptical but after a moment her gaze followed the direction he was pointing. Hekate leaned her head back and looked up at the cloud-dappled sky. “Up there… up there…” When she lowered her gaze, the Senshi of Jinxes eyes were almost owlish in surprise. I’ve heard White Moon Senshi have worlds out there, but I’ve never actually been invited to see one. Fear of the unknown stayed her hand but only for a moment. “Promise not to leave me there. You’ll bring me back right?”

It was his turn to be surprised even after she took his hand. "Huh? No leave?" He was genuinely surprised that someone would do something, his planet wasn't their home, so of course he would bring them back to their home, which was here. "There then back." Nodding just in case to try and have her not worry, that wouldn't be good anyway since he needed someone to help him look around and find things. "Bumpy, maybe. Sorry." He wasn't exactly sure where they'd end up but as he clicked things on his senshi phone, he closed his eyes out of habit. At least it seemed okay this time, they'd ended up on solid ground and not in a tree as he had one time before. Taking a moment to look around, letting his hand fall from theirs as he did, it looked like the other edge of the forest. They were far from where he'd set up Amel's grave beneath one of the larger trees. It was hard to see through, even with all the foliage long dead and dried up. The trees were so close together here, something he knew wasn't good for them now. When one fell, it would take many others with it and he'd had to avoid getting trapped on more than one occasion now. But even with that, he thought he saw a hint of something he was looking for. "Black thorns. Find, pull, world better?" At least that's what he hoped. But he hadn't been able to find much. The crackling thunder up above worried him as well. With how dry the trees were, he was worried some might go up in flames. It had happened before, thankfully not while he was here, but seeing the aftermath always hurt him.

Bumpy was definitely not a word she’d use to describe being pulled through space. If anything, it was more like standing atop a skyscraper and leaning back over the edge. Free falling with the expectation of slamming into the ground at an astronomically high speed. Fortunately, there was no abrupt landing, just solid ground beneath their feet. The sensation was very different than the gentle ripple of stepping through a mirror and quite unpleasant. Hekate was used to seeing the white-walls of Mirror Space, or the growing greenery of Lenka’s island that she was building with the crystals they had found. This… this was otherworldly. So this is what Lenka meant when she said that she had a homeworld once… Why would anyone give something like this up? A pang of sadness struck her but Erinome’s words pulled her from her thoughts and had her stepping forward to glance at what he was trying to point out to her. “Thorns…” she looked down at her bare hands and winced. “Did you bring gloves, or do you have a gardening trowel in your bag for us to use?” Something to keep them from getting scratched up or poked.
