Wherever it is in the nexus, bright bolts of energy begin to illuminate and shatter the quiet. Smoke begins to rise as the energy goes higher, as every electronic flickers and shuts off, until

He knows her for who she appears to be, and his sword comes to his side. He does not draw it yet, though his hand hovers near the hilt. He seems to take no special notice of her nakedness; his focus is entirely on what she will do, already calculating the possibilities and likely outcomes.

Kunzite glances to his side, and confirms that he has come to the nexus alone. So be it. He returns his eyes to the princess.

[isoutthere]

Searching...she stares at the shitennou, ensuring to confirm his identity before she responded.

"Kunzite." She doesn't bother with formalities. They got in the way. "Where is Endymion."

[earthvictorious]

As if he'd answer that so easily, letting her meet up with him once more and letting those events unfold yet again. Kunzite returns only an insolent half-smile.

"Why?"

[isoutthere]

"Why." She repeats his words. Digests them, considers them. For barely a second. "I am here to see Endymion."

[earthvictorious]

"Well, he's not here," Kunzite says. He glances around as if to show this fact off. What Serenity does next will be telling.

[isoutthere]

"You will lead me to him." It seems like it always was. Serenity wanting to see Endymion. She steps closer - and clothing seems to come from her very skin, which has turned silvery at her chest, her feet, her legs. "You will lead me to Endymion. Now."

[earthvictorious]

"I'm not interested in lovelorn reunions," Kunzite says comfortably. He very notably does not move to oblige the princess'... request.

[isoutthere]

"I'm not interested." She repeats this, "in lovelorn reunions."

Her clothing finally materializes, save from her silvery, liquid arms. One grows out, longer and longer, until it reforms to reveal her sword. The other stays liquid, as if waiting, anticipating, what it will become.

"You will lead me to Endymion," she repeats again, coming ever closer. "Now."

[earthvictorious]

Kunzite is a man who enjoys puzzles, and while he might dismiss her words as simple repetition, they are words he cannot imagine the princess saying under any circumstances. This has become interesting. He tilts his head back, thoughtfully.

"And if I do? What business do you have with him?"

[isoutthere]

"If you do."

Her other hand begins to form into...another sword, this one, much like Kunzite's.

"You will be spared."

[earthvictorious]

"I've never been moved by your threats or tantrums, princess," Kunzite says dismissively. At the worst, he returns to his world. After all, he has no reason to concern himself with this one. Let her destroy it. He certainly has no reason to reunite her with the master to fawn over him and coo at her cleverness in forcing everyone's hands to her liking.

Not his.

[isoutthere]

"You've never been moved by threats." Logic, then, dictates what she must do. "Very well."

Instantly her swords are humming, becoming bright with energy. She proceeds, with her princess sword, to throw a bolt of energy towards Kunzite. If her information was correct, he would either deflect it, or attempt to absorb it for a rebound attack.

"You will not be spared."

[earthvictorious]

There are always other options. Kunzite simply vanishes. He had meant it when he said he had no interest in her childishness, nor talking to a creature incapable of holding more than a single thought in its head.

[isoutthere]

He perhaps went to warn Endymion. Or simply retreated. It didn't matter. It was one less obstacle to remove.

She lets her swords retreat back into her hands, walking once more.
