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."

[aroyal_pain]

This, typically, is a sight that greets Endymion only in the most pleasant of his dreams. Somehow, the joy is taken away by that cold expression, keeping him from going to her immediately. He has seen this before.

"Serenity?"

[isoutthere]

The voice stops her. She turns around, looking at him. It was him. It was most definitely him. But her eyes do not lose the cold. They, and her voice, and her posture, do not even seem to register the kind of twisted happiness and passionate possessive spark that Princess Serenity, like this, would normally exhibit in some way.

"Endymion."

[aroyal_pain]

This can't be right. It can't be right at all. But he still trusts her enough to think something even worse. She is naked, and she is not acting herself. Has someone hurt her?

"Serenity, what happened?"

[isoutthere]

"Endymion."

She walks forward, her body becoming silvery, like liquid, forming clothing over her, but also - on her one arm - her sword. On her other, her finger forms into razor-sharp, silver, metal talons.

She says nothing more after that. Now was not the time to talk.

[isoutthere]

"Saffir."

She turns to face him. He is here? What is this?

"You didn't know?"

[isoutthere]

"You are in the past," Captain Obvious Serenity responds. "Has there been a change in my orders?"

[isoutthere]

"I am naked."

She turns and stares at Motoki. A civilian. She had no need to be fully hostile. Not yet.

"Your clothing. Give them to me."

[isoutthere]

At this, Serenity began to walk towards Motoki, almost menacingly. She finally got up to his face, brought her hand up, and--ripped the apron off with unsettling ease.

Demando looks down at the nude Serenity with a slight, appreciative smirk. So beautiful. Her body is perfect. He says nothing immediately, drinking in the sight at his leisure.

[isoutthere]

Quite the irony.

She does not acknowledge him, if she senses him at all. She begins to walk forward, instead, surveying her surroundings. It is Tokyo. The year, ideally, should be 2006. But something is clearly amiss.

[kingofblackmoon]

Finally, Demando calls out. "Serenity." His eyes stay fixed on her as he waits for her to acknowledge him. She must at least do that much.

[isoutthere]

She stops. That voice. Was that really...she turns. Yes. It is. She fixes her gaze on him.

"Prince Demand."
