Maenalus was patrolling her usual area of a park in Destiny City as well as all of the space between it and her dorm room at Sovereign Heights. On this occasion, it was nearly night time, but she had still seen some people around here and there, whether it was a couple holding hands or sitting on a park bench, the lone jogger, or a vagrant wandering about. The senshi had kept to skirting around them, though. She wasn't quite sure how anyone would react to her. They could take her for face value as a scantily-clad co-ed wandering around at night (and maybe make the conclusion that she was a lady of the night) or if they suspected she was in on the fight of good and evil, that could lend itself to some interesting conclusions as well. Possibly her greatest fear was of running into someone from one of those rag mags trying to take her picture. In that sense she felt like Bigfoot. Well, decidedly less hairy.
The senshi carried on with her walk deeper into the park where there were even fewer people about and the natural canopy of the trees blocked out what little fading light there was and even obstructed the man-made light given out by the street lamps. She noticed the energy signature before anything else, probably because of the darkness, but ahead of her, she heard a deep, guttural growl. Her head whipped around to its direction and she set off cautiously towards what could only be a youma.
Maenalus approached as quietly and as stealthily as she could, which made for slow goings in high-heels. When she finally saw the youma, it looked rather small and un-offending. Well, for a youma anyway. The thing seemed hunched over or like it was hunting. She furrowed her brows, trying to figure out what was happening, and only when she saw what looked like a sleeping man lying a few feet away from the youma did she begin to put the pieces together. She didn't know if he really was asleep or passed out, but it didn't look quite like the youma had attacked yet. So there was still time!
Gathering up her courage and a nearby stick, Maenalus chucked it at the beast.
"Hey! Get away from him, you!"
She didn't really think it would make for a long fight because of how small the youma was, and the man probably wouldn't have been in that much danger if he had been able to get away. Well, that's what she thought until the youma turned to look at her.
Its face was human-like in appearance, save for any eyes or a mouth. It gave the impression of a face, but it was entirely smooth. Its head rose up on a spindly neck, and it stood. Ohhh. So that's why it'd looked so small... No longer crouched, the youma was probably standing at about 6 feet tall, and its arms nearly dragged along the ground. They were slender until extending into vicious claws. It tilted its head until a distinct crack and it began to approach Maenalus. She. was. screwed.

He hand been avoiding the park lately, wanting to branch out and explore more areas, but the feel of a youma and another senshi kept him in the area that night. He still wouldn't pet himself as 'social' but he had started seeking out more of his fellows trying to find out what they knew and how they could help the cause. So far it hadn't been that successful but he wouldn't give up.
The park was almost too easy to move around in. Either hopping over street lights along the walkway or through trees and the occasional statue. He'd ducked a few joggers who were heading for the various exists and was perched on a street light when he heard a voice.
Shaking his head he moved in that direction. Of course he'd been right and it had been the senshi. Why did they all seem so convinced the best way to get a youma's attention was to yell at it? Attacking while it wasn't paying attention would be so much better.
His brow raised as he saw the creature stand up. He was seeing more and more humanoid ones now a days.

Maenalus noticed the approaching energy signal of a senshi, but didn't much pay any attention to it. All of her focus was on the youma before her. "Crap, crap, crap, crap, crap..." It approached slowly, as though it was self-assured that it would kill the senshi and take her starseed for its own. It reached a long arm out for her and brushed Maenalu's hair, but she slapped the hand away.
Her new idea?
Run.
She turned away from the youma, glad at least that the man was safe because the youma was more interested in her senshi starseed than the normal civilian one, though it was still and easy to get. When she turned to run, though, she only made it a few bounds before she noticed the senshi who was attached to the other energy signature. Well, a menshi, rather. She stood frozen in her place, well. This was embarrassing. But also a life or death situation.
"Uh, uhm." She gulped hard. "Youma. You know..."

He almost groaned out loud when the senshi took off in his direction. When she stopped in front of him he sighed. "yes. Youma ... you're suppose to be killing it and not running." Not that he'd been much better in his early days but at least he'd gotten over that pretty fast. Usually because the youma were too busy trying to eat his face for him to have much of a choice.
"And, um duck..." He tried to grab her arm and yank her out of the way before the youma could take a swipe at her. It was such a pain trying to explain injuries and he could at least save her that bit of trouble for now.
