Quote: Snow Glow (15) : On especially cold nights, strange puffs of light rise from the snow like warm steam--only this 'steam' glows in soft, sparkling colors and moves in slow, liquid shapes, like wax escaped a lava lamp and is rising towards the sky. Scientists insist it’s an unusual, but natural, phenomenon caused by pressure and temperature changes, but that doesn’t explain how the lights react when you reach for them--swirling around your fingers like playful, weightless ribbons. Sometimes, around these strange pockets, the snow beneath your feet glimmers when you step near the lights, and coming into contact with the glow results in it clinging to your skin or clothes in faint, shimmering patches. The luminescent residue fades after a few hours and has no lasting effects.
Going out at night was an absolute adventure now, and that…was fun. It was amazing, there were things…people mostly to feel...and not in a creepy way, but like…a magical way. And the city itself was…doing some damn magical things too which…made the excitement go up to level ten at least. There was the feeling of someone nearby, and Windsor was absolutely going to go and introduce themself, but there was something…strange going on with the snow and it absolutely had Windsor’s full attention. It was beautiful. Colors that were coming up from the cold mounds and…he wanted to touch it.
…Windsor wanted to eat it really. It looked pretty enough to eat.
Of course, as the aura came closer, their attention was pulled away from the lights to greet the newcomer and.
Oh.
Damn.
“Woah, you are ripped. Holy s**t you’re so hot.”

This wasn't the first time the snow had behaved strangely- or rather, everything was already strange, so he did not consider the reappearance of snow-lights to be more strange. Lovas thought of them as little more than an interesting backdrop to an already-interesting city. Other things held his attention a bit better. When he felt an aura, he always found himself pulled to it. Curiosity, mostly. He'd been the only one with any such signature on his world, so it was just... bizarre to go out nearly every night and find someone new. Someone who could power up and protect the planet- or condemn it, in some special cases... But this one- tonight's aura- it was the friendly sort. Kind of reminiscent of Regal and Sawtooth's, but... perhaps not quite as strong. Another Knight. Lovas barely even had to catch sight of them to realize that they didn't represent a familiar planet. Not Saturn or Chronos. He didn't recognize their symbols at all. And they certainly stared. Perhaps they were not very acquainted with many aliens, yet. Lovas' fanged smile quirked his lips. "Ripped?" He asked, peering down at his shirt. A finger came up to trace the split in his top, just beneath his pecs. "No, it is not a tear. It is always like this." And he did not find it weird or shameful to be showing off a bit of very.. shapely... underboob. Though it did seem like an uncommon thing to do here. He understood 'hot' a bit more. "Ah ha! Yes. This is a relatively common appearance among my people!" Being tall and more built more for physical altercation- as there often was. "It seems less so on this world. I have found almost everyone to be on the smaller, skinnier side." A tip of his head, a finger at his lip in thought. "Though I've not found it to be unsatisfactory," Lovas admitted, letting his gaze wander down to a thin waist cinched with a sash, form getting trousers clinging to slender legs. "I am Lovas."

“Ripped is another way to say you have incredible muscles. It’s a compliment, one hundred percent.”
Windsor’s eyes roamed shamelessly up and down Lovas’ body and they licked their lips in appreciation. “I’m Windsor, Page of Cosmos, it’s fantastic to meet you. Where are you from? You said your people?”
Fangs. He had fangs. Be still Windsor’s heart. They wanted to feel how good it would be to have those fangs mark him up. How Windsor kept from growling was…honestly impressive.
“Smaller, skinnier has been forced upon most of us. It’s the ‘ideal’ look that people chase after. I’ve always just been blessed with a super high metabolism, and I’m tall so. The lithe thing has always worked in my favor. I do enjoy people with more muscles though. You’re. Not sure what your other people looked like, but you certainly have my attention.”
Holding out a hand, Windsor nodded at Lovas’ own. “May I?”

"Hm?" He smiled as he tipped his head, brows pursed in a very slight confusion. He'd said... his name was Lovas. And he was a Senshi. And so obviously he would be from Lovas- But perhaps it was not obvious. All of the human Knights and Senshi were from Earth and only knew... 'Earth things(?)' until they came into their power. Which as far as Lovas understood could be literally whenever. "Yes, my people. Lovasii. They all looked strikingly similar to me: skin, hair, physique- there was not so much variety on my world as there is on yours. Oh. Besides the eyes. No one had eyes like mine." "But I thank you for the compliment! I am still in the process of learning your social arrangement. There are many humans who seem to live very close together, and I have seen no large predators... Perhaps smaller is better for this setting? I have noticed that it is a bit of a detriment to stand out. Many... eyes on you." Lovas stepped nearer, to the point most would consider it crowding. But this little Knight reached for him, and it would be terribly rude to ignore such entreaty. ...Except he did not know specifically what this entreaty was for. "May you..?" Lovas echoed, eyeing the offered hand and the Knight's little nod toward his own, where it was still at his lip, thoughtful. "Touch?" He guessed, taking the other's hand and lifting it toward Lovas' face.

“Really? That’s interesting! I’m very new to this whole Knight thing, like…I came into this two days ago or so? I’m still learning, but…” Windsor drew closer still, looking at Lovas’ eyes and nodding. “They’re lovely! What do the eyes of the others look like? And, yes.”
Reaching out, Windsor took the Senshi’s hand and pressed a kiss to the back of it. “I do adore purple, it’s one of my favorite colors.”
Taking a half step backwards, Windsor grinned. “No, there aren’t any predators who attack us…other than other humans, honestly. We’re our own worst enemy. I haven’t met any of the capital C Chaos yet, but I know for a fact that humans themselves are their own type of chaos so…yeah. We suck sometimes. I’m a great example of how humans should be, at least I think so. I’m happy to answer any and all questions you might have~.”

"My! Only two days!" Lovas' suspicions confirmed. "There must be some wisdom I can offer you, as someone who has been a Senshi for centuries. Alas, it escapes me. The circumstances are different on this planet than what I am accustomed to, and the Knights I stay with have told me that my way of things is not always appropriate for this planet. I fear I would steer you wrong." But he did know more experienced Knights who might be a valuable resource for someone newly awakened... But Windsor did not seem so daunted as many others were. He was out, alone, exploring. Grabbing his newfound powers and running with them. What better resource was there than experiencing what you could do for yourself? "What 'did' they look like," Lovas corrected. "I am the last. But my people had dark eyes. Dark eyes, dark skin, dark hair. My world has no sun, and this is helpful to blend into the night. Less likely to be seen by something that wanted to eat you. There were great and powerful beasts on my world. Any creature that could consume would fight and kill anything it could find. Everything was prey. And everything was a predator too." His head canted, curious at the unfamiliar gesture, a little pass of lips against his hand. Almost tasting. What else would it be for. Despite the smile still on his face, a soft rumbling sound slipped out of him. A little growl. A little promise. He would bite much harder than anyone could bite him. "I have not yet found a human I am intimidated by." Though it had been many years since Lovas had found anything he was intimidated by... And that was perhaps a mental failing on his part. His ultimately goal should still be his survival. His world's survival. No one could bring it about except for him. He needed to live for that... And fear was healthy for survival. ...But it was also such a distant emotion that he barely understood what it felt like anymore. "I have found the individual harborers of this world's Chaos to be-" A soft, dismissive cluck of his tongue. "Manageable."

Oh, that growl. Windsor felt a slow grin spread across their face and chuckled. “Interesting reaction to a kiss on the hand. Do you not have kisses on Lovas?” The list of things that Windsor could and should teach this tree of a man was growing and he liked all of it.
“No sun, hm? That’s sad. But I suppose I understand, I hope you can find someone here who can brighten your days. How are you coping with our sun? Do you burn easily? Are your friends giving you enough sunscreen when you’re out?” There was a hint of real concern with that question and Windsor once again looked the Senshi up and down. There didn’t seem to be any signs of sunburn, but then, it was winter so…that might just be why.
“Humans can be real assholes. I’m glad you’re not intimidated, and same with the Chaos crap, but. Still, I would be happy to give you some extra lessons, if you wanted.”
