Alone again

[inverted_moon]

It's still hard to believe, she ponders about it as she stares at her right hand for the millionth time in the last week. It's the hand with which she used to call her transformation powers. It's also the hand that hold a certain Mercury's hand for a good while... Before Usagi ruined everything again and had to start again from zero

"You are troubled?" The mild voice and its question belong to a white-haired Zoisite. Pale eyes seek out Usagi's, but he does not intrude by pressing the issue any further than the simple inquiry. He will listen if she speaks.

She didn't notice the nexus, much less Zoisite's energy. Or rather, she felt it but thought it was just remnants of her Zoisite's energy or simply her mind playing tricks. She's obviously surprised for hearing Zoisite talk, though when she looks it's obvious it's not the one from this world.

Usagi offers a rather serene smile despite her current general mood, well, she is troubled, but she is also rather calm. Life has suddenly seemed to become very simple, but it's still full of questions and decisions. "Zoisite, welcome. I'm fine, I was just thinking and getting used to the empty house again;" she answers.

"You are alone," Zoisite observes. Loneliness, in itself, is something he has never felt. He has never needed people beyond the master and the other shitennou, and even with them nearby in the palace, he is often content simply to keep to himself in his own rooms, filling the halls with his music for all of them to enjoy.

There's a difference between being alone by your own will than being alone because you can't be with anyone else. But really, she doesn't mind loneliness, she knows it, is familiar with it. She just has to get used to it again after two long years.

She nods calmly; "I am. Everyone is back where they belong." She sounds happy about it, despite the solitude, things are right when people are where they belong. She stands up and smiles at him; "Uhm, do you want tea or something? I should offer you something since you're in my home."

be afraid. i promise he's on good behavior. by his standards. XD

It's time for him to meet this... irritant. More and more, Mercury has become erratic again, emotional again, as if all her steps towards strength were blown away in a second. Where is the proud Mercury he once knew, he could echo his alternate in wondering.

So when Kunzite sees Usagi, he observes her for awhile without being seen. This proves to be fruitless; she is indulging in some mope of her own, he notes, and she does nothing remarkable.

He steps forward after awhile, making his presence known. "Such a pleasant evening," he greets her.

/is here?

[inverted_moon]

Usagi yelps as Kunzite speaks, she hadn't noticed him at all... But now that she does she has a clear idea of which Kunzite it is... This pleasant evening is going to be ruined soon, right?

"It's certainly not a bad one;" she replies, unsure of what to say for a moment before she decides to just shrug it off. She's not in the mood for playing or be afraid. "Welcome to my house, Kunzite. Want something to drink or eat?"

*is, too*

"Since it's a social visit, tea would be proper, hm?" His bland tone and expression suggest little of what may really be on his mind. He is here at the whim of the nexus and without preparation. But he will form a way to see this meeting to the end he desires.

yay

[inverted_moon]

Social, right. Well, she supposes it's another way to think of the whims of the nexus. She stands up and moves to the kitchen with a nod; "Earl Grey fine with you?" She asks, at least it's what the Kunzite she knows had, but with alternates... Who knows what they prefer.
