It all started with a speck of dirt on the floor. No matter how much Nephrite swore, cursed, threatened, and glared at it, the damned spot would not go away.
"Try wiping it with a rag, or mopping it with your mop," Motoki suggested, in a tone that suggested worse than condescension - for it was full of kindness.
Nephrite turned his glare at the man.

"No," she corrects herself, thinking of that one's name, "Akai?" Red. Appropriate, at least.

"Who the hell are you?" he demanded, hands clutching his mop as though it was his most favored sword. "And who the hell is Akai?"

Which is not precisely something she's notably concerned herself with before now. And anyway, she decides, he's sure to notice her fuku is the same as the Dark Kingdom's soon enough.
Well, maybe not. It is Nephrite.
"From the Dark Kingdom, senshi of Water and Knowledge, Mercury," she introduces herself formally. It serves as excellent full identification.

"Lies," Nephrite hissed. "That's a lie! From the Dark Kingdom--" He had seen how she was freed from the spell Kunzite had placed upon her. Wasn't THAT the reason Kunzite tried to kill her, and Nephrite saved her?

Pierre scratches his beard, then raises an eyebrow. "Me." Not that, y'know. He gives any indication of who 'me' is. It's not like he even radiates the same power he used to have.

Then he paused. Something about this human was strangely familiar.

Pierre's been severed from the Dark Kingdom. He lacks even the basic ability to recognize his former allies or their alternates. And, honestly, this Nephrite... Is a far cry from his own.

He charges at the man. He has a mop in hand, after all.

[pause. Realization. HOLY--]

"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU AND WHY THE HELL ARE YOU WEARING MY UNIFORM???"

[Yes, this Nephrite learned potty words. Where? Don't ask. Trust us]
THIS IS MY UNIFORM!

"Stop impersonating me!" he yells. And charges at the other one.
[And yes, actually I read about you as Nephrite so the potty words aren't surprising :D]

Leaning against the wall with his arms folded across his chest, the shitennou's leader now pushes away and takes a few steps towards his - former, here, he suspects - comrade.
As if Beryl ever had a right to touch the shitennou.

DAMNIT. Nephrite hopes somehow that he wouldn't see this man again. See anyone that reminded him of the Dark Kingdom, his lost powers, his disgraced state.
He glares at the man's Shitennou uniform, then at his own annoying, black one. DAMN IT. Even at that he is at a disadvantage.
"Did you summon me?"

As if reading Nephrite's mind, when Kunzite turns slightly away to survey the room, his cape swirls at his ankles, drawing attention to the uniform. He tilts his head slightly, curious.
"What is this place?" Something is strange here.
Reply
"Ah. So even the great Kunzite DOES, in fact, have limited knowledge after all." He walks away, but looks over his shoulder. "What I do know is that this place is big. There's enough space for us to NOT bump into each other."
If Kunzite is as smart as he claims he is, then he will get Nephrite's meaning. It isn't neatly cloaked, after all.
...at the same time, it is somewhat comforting to see a familiar face, no matter how unwanted it may be.
And Nephrite will die first before he admits to THAT.

Ah, hell, Nephrite thinks, glaring at the man. For a tiny second he revels in the fact that he is finally free of the human; only to have the human follow him to hell, which this place definitely is.
