"Hey Suki!" Dorian opened the door to where, the young woman was sleeping.
"I thought I would take you out today. Show you around the city and all."
Suki looked over the covers, which she had pulled tightly over her chin, "I don't see why you need to burst in here unannounced to do this though."
Dorian blushed a bright red, "Umm...yeah...sorry, I'm not used to girls being in my house."
Suki nodded, "Besides I don't need a travel tour from you. I can't find things on my own. Thank you very much. Now leave my room at once."
Dorian closed the door, "You could show some hospitality." He moaned. "It is my room, I'm letting you use."
She had been here for 4 days now and hadn't left the house much, or even helped out. She had been a thorn on Dorian's side and he was getting sick of it. He just wanted to help her but, she seemed to have her own agenda.
He was startled, when a few moments later, she came out of the room, fully dressed in a form fitting black dress, her auburn hair layed loose.
"Fine, show me around!' She muttered. "Maybe we can get something to eat on the way."
Dorian smiled, "Finally, you're warming up."
Suki walked right past him, purposely letting her shoulder knock into his.
"Or maybe not?" He quickened his pace to catch up with her, and together they left his place.
*****
Suki felt the fabric of a dress that hung on one of the many shops that lined the dirt street. The owner had disappeared within the shop as Dorian and Suki approached but, Suki could see him peering through the windows every so often.
"They don't trust me," she mused, seemingly happy at the very thought.
"They don't trust many. We've been recently attacked. Sailor Aquila luckily got rid of them but, the people here haven't been the same since." Dorian sighed. "It's rather sad, people here used to be happy and cheerful but, things seem so dull now, everyone is afraid the attackers will return."
"Well, maybe this Sailor didn't do her job properly then?" Suki now had the dress up against her, a beautiful silk golden dress, that flowed down to the ankles with slits up the side.
"Nobody here blames Aquila. She did the best she could. They truly love Aquila, it's just that nothing like this has happened, since Princess Adeline's Great Grandmother. They have a ight to be scared." Dorian looked at the dress Suki was holding up, "It would look nice on you."
Suki replaced the dress, onto its respective hanger, "I thought senshi are suppose to make sure peace remains on this land, and make sure the people always feel safe, it sure doesn't seem that way."
Suki began walking forward again to the next shop, the street they went on was the main street, a palce where shops were set up, and people could walk down and get anthing they want. It looked like it used to be a lively place, but that was long gone. Nobody was on the street and Suki had come to the conclusion it was because of her.
"I don't think a senshi has the ability to force people to feel good about everything. It's human nature to be scared."
"Of me?"
"Well, we haven't had visitors since they attack. For all they know, your a spy for the enemy, your going to attack us. What are they suppose to believe?"
"But your not scared of me. Why don't you feel that way?"
"Who said I didn't? I'm still deciding on you. No reason to kill an innocent."
Suki smiled, "Now that's something I understand. What's this? I've never seen in before." She held up a vine like plant, with small black and white buds.
"It's a Leoth. Native and only found on this planet." Dorian smiled. "Pretty isn't it?"
"Beautiful." She spun the pot around examining it.
"They say to buy one when you have a dilemma, it'll help you see the right path. The black represents the bad path, the white represents the good path."
"Sometimes the bad path is better," She smirked., putting the plant back down. "Sometimes, you need to go against what you know is right, for the greater cause."
"Sometimes the greater cause isn't always worth it. Everytime you take the bad path, a part of your soul is destroyed."
"I guess I have none then," She mumbled under her breath.
"What?" Dorian looked over at Suki. "You alright?"
He never got a chance to try and get an answer from Suki, an older woman came down the street calling Dorians' name. She was a black haired, which was greying, she cover it though ina a peice of fine cloth, tied under the chin. She was quite plomp, but her breats that sagged made, her stomach seem miniscule. She was wearing a flowery dress which hideous red shoes, but her face was what made her look good. Still quite pudgy, but she had twinkling chestnut coloured eyes, and naturally rosey cheeks, and a beautiful smile that seemed permantly imprinted on her face. She seemed so happy and just by looking at her, you felt good.
"Oh, Dorian," She smiled even more, as she got his attention.
"Hello, Miss Rose," he siled back at the woman.
"Oh and who is this beautiful lady. I'd always knew you'd get a looker like her." She stared at Suki, who moved back, looking quite irritated.
"Her name's Suki Cho, she's new here. I'm sure you knew that." Miss. Roses' attention was back to Dorian, Suki was quite relieved.
"Oh, so she's the new girl here, eerybody has been talking bout how dreadful it is, but really, somebody new. It'll do this town some good and of course, you winning your heart. You've always been a sweetheart."
"Me and her," Dorian blushed, and paused for a moment, but instantly started again at a grunt from Suki, who had went back to looking at the sidewalk shop, ignoring the bubbly old lady. "We aren't together Miss.Rose. I'm just showing her around while she's here, that's all."
"You can't fool me, Mr.Chike. Come by for tea or dinner or something one day. It would be great to talk to you sometime."
Dorian looked over at uki, there was no way, Miss. Rose would believe him. He couldn't seem to find Suki though. "Excuse me, Miss Rose."
He moved past her in a hurried speed hearing her saying, "So I'll see you by my house later."
"SUKI!" He called, trying to find the girl.
"Right here!" She poked her head out of a shop door. "It was rather boring with that woman, although she's a lot more personable than others here."
"That's Miss.Rose for you, enough optimism for everybody in this place, also most stubborn, once she gets something in her head, there's not much you can do."
"I see," Suki had tooken to some crystal figures of Sailor Aquila. "Interesting craftsmanship, model not that great."
"People really do love her around her. " He said, this words sounded a bit more sad, than when they spoke abiut Aquila before. "Did you know that Miss.Rose lost her husband the last battle?"
Suki looked up, for the first time, met eyes with Dorian. They seemed sad to her. "I see."
"A lot of people lost friends and family. The troops weren't enough to fight them off, and one senshi, it was a hard battle." Dorian broke the eye contact.
"Why did you allow me to stay with you?"
"There was no way any of the bed and breakfast palces her would allow you to stay. People became bitter after the war. I guess I felt bad."
"You lost someone, didn't you?"
Dorian looked at Suki a moment, purposely avoided the peircing gaze she was giving him. "Yeah....maybe we should head back."
Suki looked over the covers, which she had pulled tightly over her chin, "I don't see why you need to burst in here unannounced to do this though."
Dorian blushed a bright red, "Umm...yeah...sorry, I'm not used to girls being in my house."
