A soft voice greeted Venus as a blue-haired girl dressed in a very similar uniform to the senshi leader's stepped into the room.
"You really are admirable, Venus," she said. "She is beginning to understand." Mercury glanced after the fleeing princess and smiled, and if there was something the slightest bit troubled in it, she didn't expound on why.
It just seemed wrong to think of the princess needing to learn how to handle herself in battle. After all, they were there at her side. They were there to protect her. But Mercury is no longer unaware of just how necessary it truly is, not after her experiences in the nexus.
"I cannot take all the credit, Mercury. She has learned much since the battle with Metallia." The smile on her face was proud of their princess, and of how much she had grown. She didn't turn away until Serenity had finally disappeared around a corner, barely catching the look upon her comrade's face. Gently, she placed one gloved hand firmly on Mercury's shoulder, squeezing lightly in reassurance. "Do not worry. Our princess is stronger than we have given her credit for."
Metalia, a name she knew only from the Nexus. Mercury's eyes widened briefly, but she refrained from saying anything and instead gave a reluctant nod. She wasn't quite convinced, despite the effort to seem as though she was.
"Still, it is dangerous for her," she said quietly.
"Perhaps, but it is only through these lessons that it will be less dangerous." Stepping back, the senshi of love turned her gaze to the sky, where the full globe of Earth could be seen. The smile tugged at the corners of her lips again. "If we are to ever relinquish her to her love..."
Endymion's guard has arrived-- it's Zoisite! Actually, it's Kunzite. He just looks like Zoisite. Aside from differences in uniform, and the fact his hair is down (though it's still that unmistakable white-silver), this Kunzite is easily mistakable for this world's Zoisite. But whoever he is, he has a pleasant smile for the girl.
He approaches her, hands clasped behind his back. He catches a glimpse of the figure in the white dress running from the scene; he doesn't recognize her.
At first glance, she almost did mistake him for the solemn silver shitennou, and a surprised smile crossed her face. The delegation was early! With one last glance at Serenity's fleeing form, she turned to fully face the shitennou.
"Zoi-" The name halted on her lips as her eyes found his face. Even with all the similarities, it was clear this was not he. "Ahh, forgive me. I mistook you for another."
The shitennou offers Venus a forgiving smile. Zoisite, right? he almost says. But he introduces himself instead.
"I am the leader of the shitennou, Kunzite."
Yes, that Kunzite. Only, not. The smile widens a bit and he bows rather chivalrously. "Pleased to meet you." He's definitely more open and friendly than the Kunzite Venus might know.
The surprised look crossed her face before she could stop it, hearing that introduction. This was not the Kunzite she knew, that much she was sure of, but upon extending her senses... his power was familiar in a way. Her mind flew to a past encounter that had been similar... Ah.
"To meet you as well." There was a smile there, but also caution. The words of the very man she had mistake Kunzite for were in her thoughts; that this nexus itself may present danger. The thought of Kunzite, the leader of Endymion's shitennou, posing a threat was one she had trouble entertaining, but with Serenity so near... "Welcome to the moon, Kunzite."
Hotaru looks around in what could only be described as awe, taking in the grand design of the Moon Castle. It's so big, so decorative and beautiful, like something out of her story books.
"... will be here shortly."
Hotaru turns at the voice, and is furthur startled by the squeal. Managing to duck behind a pillar, she watches as Serenity runs past. Wow... a real princess? This is definetly like her books.
The six year old steps out, still look after the other girl, even though she's long gone, unaware that she's just stepped into view of the senshi of Venus.
