The day after the terrorist attacks saw an uncanny sight in downtown. A local orphanage that had been damaged in the attack was being repaired by only a single man. Time and again, help was offered and time and again it was declined by the young man. Senshi had been there during the attack and had been able to protect the children and women who had been there. Now he worked tirelessly on putting their home back in one peice. His white shirt lay in a heap on top of his traveling bag as the heat of the mid-morning sun beat down on his bare back. His muscles rippled with each movemenbt as he pushed up support beam in place and then flew up, sitting upon those same beams to begin rebuilding the rafters, hammering the nails in one by one.
The women watched Senshi work on the repairs in bewilderment. In this modern age it was rare for one as young as him to respect his elders, least of all go out of their way to help someone they didn't know. Even any attempts to repay the young man had been greeted with a shake of his head as he continued to toil on. The only ray of hope as far as repayment had been Senshi's acceptance of a cold drink, but even that had been hours ago and he was since unreachable as he continued on in silence. It only made sense to Senshi to help those who couldn't help themselves. His teachings in Diamond City had taught him well this basic principle and his founding of the Leauge of Legends had only further instilled this trait in the young man. He would work tirelessly now and later, the smiles of the children whose home had been restored would be worth more than any petty money could hope to acheive. Save for a hearty meal after finishing the repair, Senshi wouldn't take from those less fortunate than himself. After all. That's what being a hero was about. |

"Whew! This guy's making me exhausted just watching him!"

Niki had only been there 5 minutes with the other women, Ida giving her the run down of all the damage that occurred and all he had done thus far. Niki nodded her head, somewhat impressed. She could only laugh at some of the group gawking at him like he was some piece of meat. Like she was one to talk though, as she couldn't help but admire a handsome knight, or an appealing good samaritan. Niki had been up pretty early today, feeling refreshed, and since she had helped out the bar last night, took to finding other jobs she could help with today. Needless to say, she got a little distracted. Her hair was in it's usual pigtails, as this seemed possitively simple to her. She wanted more than anything to fit in, not shine in the crowd, making it painfully obvious that she was of noble status. She got that constantly, and she was tired of it. She didn't need fake. Niki reached for a glass of water from the table the women had brought out. She sipped carefully, as the sun beat unyeildingly upon all the townfolk that day. Niki wore a modest pink top, that revealed her middriff, and left her arms bare, as well as a pair of light brown shorts. Her boots seemed to be a little more work wear, as she planned to be helping out today. She had a few necklaces around her neck, including the silver dragon necklace she was holding for a friend, glinting in the sunlight. She stood by and listened to the women go on about all the stuff they had lost, and would continue to lose, Niki's heart going out to these people, and the children. She was glad someone was helping them, but she knew she could do more. She made a mental note to herself that when she went home, she would do all she could to rally her father behind the cause of these people. It was a long shot, but he tended to give his only darling daughter whatever it was she asked for. Niki's thoughts were interupted though, as a ball rolled to a stop in front of her feet. Curiously, she bent down and picked it up. "Over here!!" All the kids were shouting at her from across the street. Niki giggled slightly and gave the ball her best overhand throw, landing it nearby their playing area. They cheered and continued on with their game as Niki watched with enthusiasm. |

Senshi finished putting the last of the rafter boards in place, driving the last of the nails in. All that was left now was to shingle the roof and he'd be done. He stood and turned, stopping as his green eyes landed on a new face in the crowd. He stepped across the boards to the edge of the rooftop, turning to fllow her gaze to the children playing. He smiled softly before stepping off the edge of the roof. Several people gasped as he dropped but were consoled when Senshi's descent slowed rapidly and he set a foot gently on the ground. He moved slowly over to where the girl stood beside the drinks. He moved over, reaching out to take a drink from the table. He put the cold liquid to his lips drinking it down, the cold drink replenishing his fatigue stores. He moves over slowly, well aware that the whispers being said behind cupped hands are about him. He expected his return to Trine Gloria would cause no less. He moved up almost beside the young girl with the red pigtails, staring past her tyo the children ahead. "Tanoshii, karera wa sa rete imasen mite? Kodomo-tachi dake ga shiawase ni kankei naku, jibun-tachi no jōkyō koto ga dekimasu." |

Niki had been distracted by the children playing, she didn't even notice the man jump off the roof. She heard all the worried cries from the women though and she turned to them only to follow their gaze. He had seemingly gotten off the building by what she could only assume was a very risky jump. But this wasn't what shocked her. His eyes were stuck on her as he made a b-line in her direction. She just about blushed from the attention hearing some annoyed sounds from some of the other young women in the group. But she knew he was probably paying her attention for many other reasons than attraction, so she tried to calm her excited nerves, ignoring the women's reactions. She watched as he picked up a glass of water and nodded slightly. She almost wanted to shoot a glare to the other women as his attention was on the water and not her, but then he spoke. She followed his gaze to the children. She smiled as he smiled watching the children. For such a big stud he had an even bigger heart, and that was refreshing to see. She then heard his words, a wave of confusion enveloping her now. "Whoa, hold on there, cutie." Niki smiled and blushed as she realized she used an endearing term for such an attractive man. She became slightly flustered but got ahold of herself quickly. Why was he making her so nervous? She giggled, wiping a drop of sweat from her forehead before starting again. "I don't think any of us understood you..." She eyed him wearily wondering if he understood her English. "You'll have to repeat that but in English please, if you can ... Can you?" Niki watched him carefully assessing for hints in his expression that would indicate he didn't comprehend. |

Senshi looked confused for a breif second as he heard her reply. He moved his right hand up covering his face breifly, as if embarassed. It had een...8 years, since he'd needed to use English. He still remembered it of course, but it hadn't even occured to him that those around him had been speaking it. He lowered his head and cleared his throat gently before trying again. "Excuse me. The, uh.. the children. They're fun to watch. So happy, no matter their circumstance." He gave her a breif smile before drinking down the last of his water. and setting the glass back down on the table. He looks back up to the roof. Those repairs remaining should take him no more than a few minutes once everyone else left the area. A couple hours with a crowd. Either way he had time for a small break. |

Niki nodded slowly, smiling at the situation. So he could speak english. She thought it was rather adorable that he must have forgotten himself around here. She was hoping something along the lines of 'Your beauty drew me in from afar, but now I see you have stolen the air I breathe.' Haha, at least she could make herself laugh. She must have read far too many books about romance to get such outrageously cheesey lines like that stuck in her head. Or she must be hanging out with the wrong crowd, she smiled as she thought back to last night, her hand absent-mindedly playing with the dragon necklace around her neck now.

"It's hard to be unhappy with you around," Niki smiled and then realized what she had said could easily have counted as a pickup line. Once more the girl seemed flustered, her cheeks flushing. Couldn't she go 5 seconds without embarassing herself completely? What was it about this man that really made her lose her calm demeanor? Nerves seemed to travel along every inch of her, which was a feeling the confident 19 year old was not used to. She had to switch the subject now, quickly, fluidly, so as not to give the impression that she was flustered in front of him. "So, uh, Where do you live? Are you knew to town, because I don't think I recognize your face?" Niki tilted her head slightly, genuinely curious about the answer. And then it struck it instantly as she realized she hadn't even introduced herself. "Oh! My name's Niki by the way!!" She giggled slightly, forcing her arm out stiffly, almost mechanically, to shake his. |

Senshi smiled a bit as she tripped over herself, laughing softly to himself as she spoke her flirty line. She was cute. reminded him of his fan club in Diamond City. He smiled a bit at her as he silently endured her barrage of questions. He waited for her to finish. He nodded softly as she wrapped up. He reached out, taking her hand and bringing it to his lips, placing a kiss on her middle knuckle. He released her hand before answering all her questions with a smile. "My name is Senshi Mitshura. I used to live around here but I haven't been around for... a while. I just got back the other day. And I'm glad my presence an make you happy." He smiled at her as he released her hand, taking another glass of water and draining it with a few massive gulps.

Niki's cheeks flushed lightly as he kissed her hand. Not like it was the first time, it was actually quite custom in the castle, but when she was out here she wasn't expecting it. No less from a rather tall dark and handsome young man. The redness quickly disappeared from her cheeks though as she tried to gain control. Then he spoke his name, and Niki's head tilted to the side, her eyes darting off slightly, as if it rang familiarity to her and she was searching for why. The name didn't do much for her, but the man looked someone familiar, nothing too close, but Niki was pretty good with faces.

"Senshi..." Niki started slowly before making eye contact with him again and smiling. "That's a nice name. You have a younger brother, don't you? I'm pretty sure I've seen him around town, anyways." Niki was trying to make idle conversation, because she didn't want to bore the man, and force him back to the daunting task of fixing the orphanage. Mind you, it was probably best he get back to work, but Niki wanted to be selfish, at least for a little while longer. She finished her glass of water, and subtley inched closer to the man, her eyes trailing him from head to toe. She'd rather not be in the direct line of vision for the entire group of women behind them, but she didn't want to rush him back to work with the suggestion of taking a break and wandering off to somewhere else, away from prying eyes. He seemed quite goal orientated, and quite focussed on helping people. He would most likely be gone pretty quick, so Niki decided to enjoy the time as best as possible, however short it may be. |

Senshi smiled as he watched her fluster. Something about this young girl had called his attention, while many of the others had been trying for hours to no avail. He cocked his head softly to the side when she said she had seen his brother around town. Senshi wondered inside for a moment. He had no siblings. At least not in Trine Gloria. All of a sudden it dawned on him. She must have seen him when he was younger. That meant his younger self was around here somewhere. Best to avoid young Seinen if possible. No telling what meeting himself might do to time space. He smiled at her a bit more, nodding breifly. "Indeed. He is training several miles away now, hoping to one day be as good a fighter as his big brother." He turned and grabbed his glass again which had been refilled, and took another dink. Normally the sweat would have startyed to leave him, but the heat of the mid day sun beating down only added more to the torrent. He gave her a quick glance before finishing the water and setting the glass down. "So Niki, where are you from? I thought I knew about all the beautiful women in Trine Gloria, yet you are a total mystery to me." |

Niki listened and thought it was quite sweet that he was such a nicer older brother. She thought of her own older brother, and of how little she actually saw of him or talked to him. She pushed the thought away, as it threatened to destroy her happy mood. Her already heat flushed cheeks tinged a little darker pink from the man's compliment, as she turned her gaze away momentarily, finding herself a little flustered now. She smiled brightly, trying to think of something to tell him that wasn't a flat out lie, but didn't give herself away. She smoothed her eyes back up to his as she was confident she had a grasp on her words now. With all these people eaves dropping she couldn't just go around spouting out about being a courtier. And she felt deep down that maybe that little fact might sway his opinion about her one way or the other. No, she'd try to keep her answer vague.

"I've lived here my whole life. I.. hadn't really gotten out too much before recently. " That was as close as Niki could get to the truth without spilling the whole story. She then reached for another glass of water and gulped it down quickly. She wiped the few beads of sweat that formed along her forehead away quickly, as she used her other hand to fan her lightly. Being out in this heat really wasn't all that fun, let alone working in it. She took a step forwards, pointing at the still unfinished orphanage. "Did you need a hand finishing up here??" Niki genuinely offered her help. The sooner the man was done, the sooner they could go somewhere shadey and cool to talk. Niki didn't mind putting in some honest work for the day anyways. |

Senshi turned his attention back to the Orphanage. He stared for a minute, realizing he only needed a new layer of shingles up to finish the job. He racked his mind a few moments, trying to remember Trine Gloria in his youth. A small grin grew on his face as he was reminded of a fairly new General named Isamu Yuudai. He'd seen Isamu once and would wager he was almost as fast as Hayato, and so easily faster than the rest of the family. Nothing they hadn't seen before. He turned back to Niki and gave her a quick grin. "Be right back." He leapt into the air, propelling energy under his feet, flying off toward the building. He grabbed a bag of shingles and his hammer before curviong up through the air back toward the building. He began moving at high speed, visually nothing more than a green clad blur as he rapidly finished the roofing job. In a mere 30 seconds Senshi quickly administered a job that would normally have taken several hours to complete. Now finished the man stopped and leapt from the roof. Using his ki control he dropped slowly to the ground and a sharp angle, landing gently in front of Niki mere seconds after he had left. He flashed her a breif smile and spoke again, acting as if nothing strange had happened. "Don't sweat it. Are you hungry? I'm starving." |

Niki watched him as it appeared he was thinking on whether or not to let her help him, but she definately wasn't prepared for what he would do next. Her eyes widened momentarily, in a fair amount of shock. She'd seen men do the things he was doing, it wasn't unbelievable to her, as she had watched the knights of Trine Gloria train and fight all the time. She just wasn't expecting it from someone like him. Those type of talents were usually scouted out early by recruitment officers, and every little Trine Gloria boy had aspirations to one day fight for their country. What made him stray from the pack? Whatever it was seemed to be attracting Niki more by the minute. Her hands on her hips, she watched quite impressed, uncertain if that was his intention, or if he simply wanted to be done with the task. Apparently the women watching were severely shocked, scattered applause and approving nods and noises being heard, but Niki ignored them. Once he was done Niki was smiling, watching him warily, wondering if the man was at all winded, laughing slightly when he brushed off the actions casually.

"Well I was about to do the same thing, but uhh.. I didn't want to mess up my hair, you know." Niki's cheeks flushed as she looked away momentarily in mock jealousy, before flashing him a genuine smile and giggling lightly. Niki shrugged her shoulders, genuinely enthused now, he had her full attention. Hook, line and sinker! "I wouldn't mind going for something to eat." She then took a few steps closer, holding her hand out as if requesting he escort her to wherever it was he intended to take them. "You've got to tell me how you did that though!" |

Senshi smiled a bit to himself, offering her his arm. His green eyes glinted gently in the afternoon sun while she took his arm in hers. He nodded to the nuns that ran the orphanage. He turned left at the first street, beginning to head toward a restaraunt that had been his favorite when he had lived in the orphanage prior to traveling and meeting Keiyin, though he had toadmit the walk was much calmer now and more enjoyable with an attractive woman on his arm. "Lots and lots of practice. So Niki. What's your favorite food?" He knew it was corny, but the small talk was a little important, seeing as his tastes weren't exactly common in Trine Gloria. Best to ensure she wouldn't be repulsed upon arrival. He offers her another genuine smile as they continue walking, finally interested in someone besides the Mavericks in Trine Gloria. |
