"...Appreciation...that concept is odd to me..." Nazo says, half muttered and probably not easily audible to Amarissa, though Sophia might pick it up. He then nods at Amarissa's confirmation of the Hot Chocolate, as Nazo disappears in a black flash, reappearing a few moments later with a small table, a hot kettle of Hot Chocolate, and a handful of pastries. Where he got them, well who knew? He then takes a few steps away from the table, and looking out at the skyline.

"I may be helping now, but your group MUST become capable of handling everything yourselves. You have more tools at your disposal as a group than I have access to, and you will gain more as time goes on." he says quietly, as a slight wind breeze moves his dark cloak about. Then the question about senshi and knights came about.

"Originally, knights didn't even exist. Something caused the planetary energy that the original senshi draw on to split in half, forming a male and a female aspect. I admittedly have no idea what could be so powerful as to quite literally split fate itself in half, and the thought sends a shiver down my spine. It is quite possibly because of that, the Senshi didn't awaken within the souls that might have once before carried that mantle. Why the power moved on to the likes of you and the others, I do not have an answer for. Further, the cats Artemus and Luna were captured when they first manifested and kept in a cryogenic stasis for many, many years. That, was a problem I solved a week ago..." he says, then shrugging a bit. "The cats are required to unlock the power contained within...and if the power isn't unlocked, youma are drawn to the senshi or knight initiate like a moth to a flame...hopefully, the others out there who may very well have potential haven't been found."

As Nazo speaks about appreciation being a foreign concept, Sophia feels a bit sad. Had really no one else ever told him that before? “Well, you’re doing a lot for us and that makes you part of team.” She feels like she ought to get the senshi and knights together to do something for him. He was going out of his way to help them after all. However, she hadn’t the slightest clue as to what the masked man like, but certainly the team could figure something out.

Sophia knew that she was going to have trouble getting used to the teleportation. She is glad that she is sitting because she would of most certainly have ended on her butt if she wasn’t. “Can I say that your powers are so much cooler than mine,” she says as she stares at the table. “You all have the coolest powers. Teleportation. Purification. Fireballs. Flaming armor. Huge boulders.”

Eat between bites of pastry, she responds to Nazo’s statement about becoming more capable. “I and I think everyone else for the matter will do everything in their ability.”

Sipping hot cocoa, she listens as he speaks about the senshi and knights. “If the whole planetary energy thing wasn’t strange enough, there is an opposite gendered counterpart to each of us. Weird…” She imagines for some reason a male version of herself before shaking that mental image out of herself. “So how did the cat ends up in cryogenic stasis? And how did you happen across them?”

"ooh yum! Thanks!" Amarissa exclaimed as she caught sight of the pastries. She poured herself a cup and began to eat a pastry, muttering faint mmmm's occasionally as she listened to Nazo's explanation. It certainly was worrisome and she couldn't help but feel like maybe the split had to do with the Covenant. Finishing her pastry and then her painting, she looked up as Venus complains about her powers.

" Your powers are just as important as everyone else's. Your bow attack is actually similar to my own, is it not? And you have a healing ability, my purification doesn't do that," she says. Then nods in agreement with Venus's next questions. "Those poor cats. I've seen what you mean about the senshi and knights though. There's a Sailor Mars and also the Mars Knight Kail. Kishin is the Earth knight, but where's the earth senshi? or the Venus or Jupiter knights? Will there be other senshi and knights for all the corresponding planets then?"

"The manifestation of your powers are different than that of those from another past. The Sailor Venus of the past used a chain to attack her enemy along with a beam direct attack. The Sailor Moon of that time also attacked with her tiara transformed into a disc of energy and focused on ranged abilities that remove dark energy from targets. I believe that fundamentally, the manifestation of each individual's abilities is dependent upon their own personality and specialties. However, Moon is correct. Everyone's abilities are unique and have their own uses."

Nazo shrugs a little when asked about the senshi and knights of other planets.

"I can only assume through the Mars situation that there can potentially be Knights and Senshi for each major body in the solar system as well, but the fact of the matter is due to the same power that severed the senshi and knights into separate entities, I admit I cannot be for certain how many more have the power to produce senshi and knights anymore. It is entirely possible that other planetary bodies cannot host senshi anymore. I'm sure that the answer will be revealed in time." Nazo says calmly then sighing a little bit when she asked about the cats.

"They were locked up somewhere, I broke in and did what was necessary to liberate them with no loss of life." he says, calmly standing and looking at the air. The memory of blowing up the base was a somewhat unpleasant one, but at least he engineered it so nobody died, though psychological trauma of the other two was another story.

“I think we will be alright even if other senshi or knights don’t appear. I suppose we don’t have much of a choice but to continue without them though,” Sophia says in response to the existence of absence of some of the senshi or knights.

Nazo’s answer about the cats is rather unsatisfactory, but she hardly expected to get a complete answer for all her questions. “So I am guessing that you are probably be sought after by the group of people that you took the cats from… However, I would be surprised if we all didn’t have the military and law enforcement and the Covenant chasing us after a while as well as any other remotely interested party.”

She moves on the next one in her list though. “So backtracking a little. You said others were meant for these powers. Even if you don’t know why it came to us, who were the ones originally meant for it and what happened to them?”

“Also, this food is really good.”

After finishing her pastry and drink, Amarissa nodded. "Yes this is very good, thank you." she said. She thought for a minute about what Nazo said, and Sophia's question. "I don't think he means that we weren't meant for them. I think he means it skipped a generation or two. That there should have been senshi here when the Covenant started, to prevent what's happened with the obelisks and this wretched winter. And for some reason, they never awakened," she mused. "Is that right Nazo? Why?" She then turns the painting around for them to see, as is right since they're in it. The only bits of color against a grey skyline of Tokyo.

Nazo doesn't respond to the statement about law enforcement immediately, holding a moment's silence, before he faces her again.

"Just leave the major lawbreaking to me. I can get away much easier than anyone else can." he says firmly, though he had a slight chuckle behind it to disarm the seriousness of the statement a little. When the two ask about the fate of the other senshi, he shrugs, the sound of his armor clanking slightly audible.

"In the absence of wielding planetary power, they each lived normally. Their careers went their natural progression route, and they are indistinguishable from normal people in terms of supernatural energy, though these individuals were naturally talented to begin with and are well known within their respective fields. Who they are, well why don't we make a game of it, and you tell me who you think they are later. It seems a few of them have ironically crossed paths with other senshi as it is." he says looking at the painting that Amarissa created, looking at it questioningly.

"It is well made, but tell me something. Why do you occupy your time with such hobbies?" he says, asking what may be an odd question to the Moon Senshi.

Amarissa considered that. She supposed it made sense that if they had never awakened, they would naturally have continued to live normally. She looks a Nazo questioningly when he suggests that perhaps they knew the other senshi. "Are you saying they're still alive? That we perhaps could run into them in everyday life?" she ponders the thought. It would certainly be interesting.

Pleased by Nazo's comment on her painting, she is then surprised by his question. She considers it thoughtfully for a moment as she carefully puts away her supplies. "Well, I wouldn't call it a hobby really. I'm in the specialty program at school for it even. I sell them occasionally to make extra money. I didn't consider it until this year, but I've recently decided to try and make something of a career with it. It's relaxing and a good way to express my feelings when I otherwise can't with words," she answers quietly. "When people look at art, it makes them feel something. Maybe it's boredom, curiosity, longing, hatred, or contentment. Whatever it is though, it's inherently human. I want to paint things that make people feel, that make people think," she finishes, looking up at the other two.

Sophia makes a sad look as Nazo says he doesn’t have any hobbies. The idea of working alone as one’s entire existence seemed depressing. They really needed to involve him in more things.

“Thanks for the information and food, Nazo,” Sophia says, getting up. “I am probably going head back home for the evening. I suppose I will see you both later? There is a meeting in Gyeon Park on the 10th at 8pm, if you want to join us Nazo.” She waves goodbye before leaving.

As she leaves Tokyo Tower, she looks at all the people outside. Anyone could be the Silver princess and Tokyo was a big city. The task was just so daunting. Maybe more sleep would help…

Nazo shrugs lightly when Amarissa asked about the other, or rather, former senshi.

Saa...yes, it is certainly possible. They have no idea what they missed as senshi and certainly can't help you become better senshi in the sense of 'master show me how to shoot a bigger laser out of my hand', but who knows? Maybe if you come to know them, the whims of fate could bestow some kind of boon, or at the least you would gain a friend you might understand your situation better than most." he says, then nodding when Sailor Venus began to make her exit.

"As you will. I fear I will be occupied elsewhere, but I believe that your meeting will be productive. The lot of you should become close friends in your own time, which will allow you all to help each other to grow as people and guardians." he says slightly cryptically, not elaborating as to what he would be busy with.

As Amarissa's answer reaches Nazo's covered ears, he ponders it for a moment, then nods.

"I see. Those are beautiful sentiments. It is the ideal to do something that evokes such feelings as well as being able to make a profit in human terms with it. It is quite possible to use the world itself as your canvas one day, to create such sentiments to share with the world." he says quietly, then pausing in thought again.

Meanwhile, the small ferret whom had been watching Amarissa hops on her shoulder and rubs it's head against her neck, calmly requesting a little attention.

(I see the clocks. love this new sig for Nazo)

Amarissa nodded at Venus. "Have a good evening then. See you at the meeting," she says, waving. Turning her attention back to Nazo, she laughs a bit at his analogy. "I see. That makes sense. I know you're right about us becoming friends, and I can see how that would certainly only help our team work. This is new for me, though. I've spent my life being mostly withdrawn from everyone around. Perhaps this will be a good thing," she replies.

She laughs a bit as the ferret crawls up her shoulder and reaches up to run her fingers through its fur, as she listens to Nazo. "Hm. Yes, that is a good point. Perhaps I get that chance someday," she says, a sort of mysterious tone to her voice. Changing the topic and tone she says, "Your ferret is cute. I don't have any pets of my own."

Nazo is quiet, particularly when she mentioned being withdrawn from people. She may have had her difficulties in the past, but she certainly had something at least. Yet to address the subject wasn't really productive. His own existence is a unique situation, whereas up until recently Amarissa's was normal.

"Saa, it may be a good thing, but it also has to be what you want. A friend, leader, follower, or anyone else who does anything because they have to and not because they want to is less effective and an undesirable approach to things. If you are not genuine with your comrades, then the lack of sincerity will show and you will be seen as a fake. Let your heart reach out without hesitation, and good things will happen." he says with a shrug, as he then faces to the side.

"Of course...I can only repeat the words that another once said. I lack the experience myself." he says calmly, then listening again as she responds to his comment about painting the world as well. He couldn't help but wonder if Amarissa had any inkling of the future on her own. Valdis had future sight powers, who's to say the others would not cultivate visions?

Then when the ferret is addressed, his attention snaps to Amarissa once more.

"Why not?" he asks simply, while Solstice kept curling around Amarissa neck for warmth.

Amarissa considered that for a moment, absently continuing to pet the little ferret. "You're really wise, Nazo. Once again, you present a good point. I'm not saying I don't want to do this though. From what I've seen, there's only one other in the group as sure and determined about this as I am and that's Kishin. Obviously we were chosen for this for a reason and if we can't do it, it's likely that no one can or will," she says, her voice strong with conviction.

Blinking in surprise at the simple question, Amarissa then shrugs. "I've never felt I had the time or resources to devout to a pet. Also, never really found one that just really called to me, I guess. That's not to say I don't like animals or wouldn't consider one, if I found one I liked," she finished simply, if a little wistful. "Luna decided to hang out with Kishin instead, " she said laughing.

"Wisdom is the attribute of one who has lived the experiences relevant to words and sayings. I consider myself only knowledgeable." he says, having an odd take on the entire idea of wisdom. "My mentor is one who is what could be called wise, using vast knowledge and experience to apply sentiments to lives." he says perhaps a bit oddly and vague. His armor clanks slightly as he takes a few steps away, listening to what Amarissa says about their role in cleansing the Covenant.

"As the Covenant begins to shatter, the world itself will rise to take advantage. The people of the world have been so beaten and subjugated by a hopeless battle that most see an inevitable end. When people witness the fact that they CAN win, you will see many things change. The American Front, where men and women are still fighting to defend what was their land and their nation, is a testament to the tenacity of people. When the time comes to strike down the Covenant, the world itself will rally...but make no mistake, without you, Venus, Earth Knight, Mars, and the others, it will be all for naught. Only the senshi, knights, and the Princess of Silver can overcome Virgo and end her tyranny once and for all." he states concisely. The fact that he never seems to include himself in these idealistic statements might seem odd, or might be overlooked by an assumption of inclusion somewhere.

As he listens to her reasoning for not having a pet, he shrugs a little.

"So you like that cat? She has a free mind and chances are she may end up crashing with you later anyway, I'm certain that a female cat living with a male guardian may be awkward on occasion." he says, pausing and looking into the night.

"Tell me something. What do you think, when you think of people. Of humanity in general." he then states a little out of nowhere, but loosely attached to the first comment he made moments ago.

Amarissa's face held of look of deep concentration as she listened to Nazo's definition of wisdom. It was certainly different but not untrue. She didn't say anything about it, merely nodding her agreement. She moved to stand next him, looking over the city. It was beautiful in its own way. As Nazo explained about how other people would join the fight, she considered that. "Yes that certainly makes sense. People will fight to keep what is theirs, especially when they feel like they have an advantage," she said.

Then he asked about the cat and she shrugged, laughing a little. "I wouldn't really call Luna a pet, what with her being able to talk and what not. She seems more like a human trapped in a cat's body than anything. But you might have a point, as far as her living with Kishin. That might very well get awkward. He is a guy after all, and a young one at that," Amarissa answered, laughing a bit at the thought and wondering if Nazo would catch her meaning.

A somewhat confused look crossed her face as Nazo asked about what she thought of people, of humanity. Amarissa thought about that for a while and silence fell. "Well, most people tend to get on my nerves but I think everyone has a right to live and be happy their way. I also think that just because a person is human, doesn't mean they can't be a monster if their thoughts and actions make them so. Not all people are good. People are a lot like plants really. Some are bad, poisonous, and some are good, they make pretty flowers and smells. But all are worth saving, because it takes all kinds to make a world." she finishes thoughtfully.
