Back at the gundam accommodation, Kellion and Sailor Saturn disappear upstairs with the wounded Galaxos. The sailor scouts and gundam pilots remain downstairs with the white lights.
Heero has not spoken since Sailor Star Maker had pointed out to everybody, that it was him that Galaxos was protecting when she stood between him and Lorienta.
Looking around, once they are all sitting down, Amy says in a hushed voice "This is a pretty nice place you've got here."
"Yeah, it's just like home." Quatre says.
"But the kitchen girls are nowhere near as good looking as at your place, Q-man" Duo says, and for the first time since Lorienta's appearance, the tension seems to break.
A man in a dark suit brings out a tray of hot drinks and biscuits. He bows his head to the white lights "Gentlemen" before turning and leaving the room.
"How does he know you guys?" Trowa asks, the only person in the room observant enough to notice the exchange between the butler and the white lights.
"He came with us from our dimension, to observe you, along with many others. They are not only here to serve you but to protect you also."
"That explains how they know our names" Quatre says.
"What's an old bunch of guys like you, doing hanging out with a cute little 17 year old like Selene?" Duo asks smirking.
"WE'RE NOT OLD!" is the unanimous reply from the white lights.
"I prefer 'experienced,'" says Tarian.
"You can't see any of my greys, I have a wonderful stylist…" jokes Lorethia playing with his carefully manicured hair.
"If only you knew our real ages." Avian says cheekily.
"So how old are you guys?" asks Amara.
"Well, lets just say that protecting the galaxy is more of a long term position. It's fair to say we would outdate your average black hole" lets on Tarian, unwilling to give away any actual ages.
Loosing interest is the age game, Duo asks persistently "So why is it that you get to hang out with Selene?"
"We have been around for eons protecting the galaxy with many chosen like Selene. Part of our job description requires that we don't get to close to the chosen one. But Selene is a special case. Because she lost her parents at such a young age, it is almost as though she has adopted us as her parent figures. The girl doesn't have an ounce of darkness in her.
Whereever she goes, whichever dimension, she always brings light and laughter with her. Her brothers are also very protective of her." Avian now sits down and grabs a hot drink off the tray.
"How did her parents die?" asked Michelle, looking concerned.
"We never found out who knew Selene was the next chosen one, but the news had leaked. One night, when Selene was about four, there was a huge fire at Selene's house. The brothers managed to get Selene out, but the parents never made it out. One of the neighbours reported seeing strange purple balls of light heading towards the house, before the house erupted into flames." Tarian finishes his story and looks towards the door, hearing footsteps coming down the stairs.
Hotaru and Kellion walk in silently and sit down, looking exhausted. Kellion talks to the other white lights that have turned to him looking very concerned "She'll need to rest for awhile, but I think she'll be fine. Hotaru did a fine job, you're well on your way to becoming a very skilled healer."
Hotaru blushes "Thankyou Kellion. You did most of the work."
"We couldn't of done it without each other." Kellion replies taking Hotaru's hand.
Amara flinches at seeing the physical contact between Hotaru and the much older Kellion. Michelle knowingly puts a hand on her lovers shoulder and telepathically communicates "Calm down, she's alright, we can trust him."
