Welcome to Gaia! ::

It'd been a bit of a surprise to get a message from Totoro, but Realta had responded immediately in the affirmative, delighted to get the chance to properly see how he was doing. The Moon had been... a lot. He was still rather new himself, and yet there he was, thrown into the thick of things.

The Mauvian made for the meeting point hastily, tail high and ears perked forward in pleased alertness as she trotted out of the underbrush towards the small picnic area. The arrangement of empty grills, tables, and a distant trashcan somehow looked... more amusing to her with the Senshi of Racoons perched there. She smothered a laugh, at least, as she approached.

"Totoro, hello!" Aware her aura didn't quite exist much in this feline form--did somewhat when she was close enough to someone, but it certainly wasn't as noticeable as another powered individual's--she called out to him to try and keep herself from startling the boy. With natural ease, she hopped up to the bench, then onto the table alongside him, sitting down with her tail wrapping around her front paws. "It's good to see you again. How're you feeling?"

The tip of her tail swayed against her paws as she listened to him, nodding somewhat. She could understand the sentiment, at least. He was new. Extremely new, and he was being tossed into something that... few adults even knew how to properly comprehend or handle.

Herself included.

"The Moon Palace was certainly an experience, wasn't it?" She chuckled at least to the reference, as it.... hm. Yes, it'd been his first large gathering, hadn't it? It hadn't broken out into any fights or anything, so that was a plus.

"Worried is understandable. I am as well." The Savannah leaned slightly into him, a feline-esque form of a hug. "I know a lot of people are working very hard to figure out answers and solutions. I've been working on some of the shield satellites Super Sailor Surtur was able to get from an alien merchant called Almadel, and I'm aware of others who've been doing what they can with them, too. Or offering energy to the Crystal Tower up on the Moon. But I know I'm still a bit worried. This is... a very, very scary thing we need to fight against."

Realta considered these points, and nodded again. She also didn't object to the petting, he was being gentle so it was quite alright to her. "I think that's a fair point to discuss with her. Most people have no idea what's happening right now... though I'm sure they can suspect the storms aren't normal, I'm unsure. The news keeps reporting they're from... strange chemical reactions or some such." She gave a light snort, unimpressed with their attempts at an explanation.

"...if your mother is willing to, we could see if another senshi or knight has a place that's safe for civilians to go till the danger has passed." She'd need to ask around about that, but she knew Metis at least had parts of her asteroid somewhat cleaned up to at least provide temporary shelter--she'd already gotten the Eternal to bring up some supplies in case they decided to speak to her family... it might likely be the time to finally confirm what Realta was very sure were growing suspicions about their daughter's double-life.

"Have you practiced with your magic at all? Do you know what it can do?"

Realta's ears perked up as the child recounted his uses of his magic--assisting another of the White Moon was excellent to hear about, but the second occasion... she winced a bit. "...by weird colored skin, do you mean they were... an alien, by chance?"

She knew of the Vanguard, was in contact with one of theirs... so the description certainly made sense...

"Still, a very effective sounding magic. I'm glad you're getting chances to safely practice with it."

Realta sat down, tail curling around her paws as she looked up at Totoro carefully. "...do you know when you'll speak to your mother?"

Realta had to smother a laugh, turning her head to cough and attempt to cover the response. "Velencian, yes. One of the Vanguard. They do not have an energy signature like others you'll usually meet who're involved in things, so I can understand the... misunderstanding." Especially given the fact she knew that particular Velencian. Oh that would have been entertaining to see, the more she thought on it. Couldn't help the wide smile on her feline face.

The more serious topic, though, eased up her humor, and she hummed, giving the question serious thought. The tip of her tail flicked slightly against her paws. "You can bring up some of the odd happenings in the city, talk about people spotted in costumes. You can show her, if you'd be comfortable doing that, but do not do so at your home unless myself, or some other Mauvian is present. You cannot connect your energy signature to your home. It could be extremely dangerous. Mauvians can hide energy signatures, so we could help prevent that, if you decide to show her there."

While she... hoped the point would be somewhat obvious, she also was aware this was a child. She'd rather risk over explaining, than risk a misunderstanding.

"You can bring up superheroes, like Batman, and Superman, and how they hide their other identities. But you're in training, I'd be clear about that." Her head tilted as she considered other points. It was easier when she was speaking to someone herself--she could judge based on their responses what avenues might be more successful.
