After his recent meeting with Noxa, Retsu got to thinking. She was strong. Extremely so. Not as strong as walker per say, but strong enough. Even stronger than him at his full power. He found her irritating and Alluring. But mostly just irritating. However he wouldn't deny just how useful she could be, should his plans go well. Of which he was zooming over the city at the current moment, his scouter actively searching for her power level. He had logged it since their first meeting, as he did with everyone he met. In his hands was held a basket of various sweets and back goods.
Truth be told Retsu wasn't really good with social things. Sure he understood how it worked, but he always felt... out of place. He was a soldier, always had been and always will be, yet being social or caring for others was beyond his understanding. This however hopefully wouldn't hold him back as he zoomed over Satan City. His scouter scanned here and there for Noxa, searching for any little hint of her.
When, and if, he found her he'd descend close to her before speaking up.
"Noxa." he began. "I need to talk to you of something of... Utmost importance." That most likely wouldn't be enough to hold her attention so he added, "And to apologize for my rude behavior the last time we met."
He'd offer her the basket of goodies towards her. Inside were muffins of various kinds, Cupcakes, Corn Bread, various single samples of Donuts, and of course a few Honey Buns. He hoped this would be enough for her to hear what he had to ask her.

The chill of winter had begun to set in; often any individuals wandering the streets would be covered from head to toe in some kind of heavy garments — today, especially. A bitter cold wave had begun to sweep over Satan City, causing plenty of civilians to decide to call in sick; some schools went as far as to shut down completely in order to avoid any complications. It was to this particularly cold, bitter part of the world that Lord Retsu would be led to.
It was a few hours before noon, not a trace of a cloud to taint the clear blue sky. This, of course, was one of the signals of a bitterly cold morning. Atop of her small, two story building in Satan City, nestled between rising apartment complexes and numerous other taller structures, Noxa laid at the rooftop. As the sun had begun to settle directly above the building with the encroaching noon, the shadow of the nearby complexes were replaced by harsh sunlight, which is exactly what Noxa wanted. The woman dragged up with her a long, reclining lounge chair, a three-fold mirror, a long bottle of water, a bucket filled with sweets, and trailing behind her was a floating heart-shaped drone.
Noxa settled down and allowed her metallic armor to melt back into her flesh, exposing her form, which was quickly covered in a slim bikini . Finally, the prospecting sunbather laid herself down on the reclining chair, holding up the folding mirror and allowing the sunlight to bounce back from it and hit her skin directly. The woman’s hair moved up, binding itself in a long braid as to keep any meshes from falling over her face and ruin her tan. Said braid found itself wrapping around the water bottle, and bring it alongside its green straw to her lips.
It was on this scene that Lord Restu’s arrival would take place on: a shapeshifting. Sunbathing. In the bitter cold of winter.
A satisfied sigh escaped her as she finished her sip. The woman’ scarlet mesh of hair settled down the bottle; her legs crossed and the drone bot moved closer without Noxa needing it to.
“Phone.” Noxa began, “Compose message to Pocky, send it view my Rumblr blog.”
Noxa cleared her throat, “Dear -- No… Esteed Pocky. I ran across an article today talking about how sunbathing was key to creating a healthy, strong body…”

Thankfully for Retsu, the cold never really bothered him. Perhaps it was because of his species, or that he rather enjoyed the cold. Regardless it never bothered him. After his introduction and speech he had been expecting some sort of speech back. When none Came he blinked, and looked past his basket, and to her form. He frowned lightly, his tail swishing about in an agitated manner.
"Noxa." He said again. "Are you listening to me? Or are you doing that thing children do when they are mad, and Ignoring me?"
Either way Retsu intended to apologize. He had to keep calm, no matter how irritating or annoying he thought Noxa was. He narrowed his eyes waiting for a response from the scantily clad Bio-Android.

“One second, Pocky. That one Arcosian I told you about found my house. If you hear any kind of negative news from Satan City please know I didn’t finish my sun bathing.” With that Noxa began to fold her mirrors, standing up and getting ready to slap an arco. At the rising sign of Ki the Collar Bot’s frontmost light turned on — a relatively dim LED, but it stood to signal its speaking.
“Assessment: this might be a harsh course of action. Preliminary behavior indicates this one arrived to apologize.”
Noxa’s lips pursed; her brow furrowed. With her look of confusion and almost utter dismissal, Noxa turned her head towards said hovering drone, “Are you serious?”
“Acknowledgement: This AI was not designed to lie.”
Once more, to Lord Retsu, her attention focused. Noxa found herself taking note of the basket of goods he brought. The citrine-tipped onyx orbs widened with utmost delighted surprise. “Baked pastries?!” Noxa’s form swooped over the rooftop , nearly grazing the ground. The woman made a grab for the basket, only to yield.
“Wait a minute… Is this a plan for me to eat that only for you to make a fat joke? Because if it is I swear on Zilyana I am about to merk your ass.”
As Noxa moved in closer Retsu would feel a wave of heat coming from the woman, as though she were the motor on a race car. Whatever she was doing out here was clearly not enjoying the winter's cold,

Retsu's expression was one of utmost annoyance, though he said nothing as Noxa had her little argument with her robot. Only when she made a grab for the basket would he speak up.
"No. I came to apologize." He said "Although, I will admit that would be a good way to make the same statement again." As she moved closer to him he held the goods out to her before speaking once more.
"I apologize for my actions the last time we met. I was.... Rather angry I had lost a tournament." he said. "Part of me feels I didn't have a chance to begin with, but as it stands now I am past my anger." He shook his head for a moment, looking the Bio Android up and down before speaking up. "I also have a proposition for you."
He smiled, tapping his scouter with his tail. "With your power level as it is, you are incredibly powerful. And I have no doubt that you wish to flex that power however you can. So my proposition is simple. I wish to enlist your help in Ridding the Arcosian Empire of a problem. That problem being the current Ruler." He chuckled softly.
"As it stands now Arcose has been restored some how. I received the notification several days ago on my scouter, and as such I believe its time someone who actually knew how to rule was put in charge." He took a step back from her. "That someone is me. I ruled a planet for some time, before its destruction, and in doing so I turned their entire planet around, and brought them to a golden age. I hope to do the same for Arcose and the Empire."
He patted down his bio armor before looking to her. "I am willing to offer whatever you may so desire, but know you will only get such payment if I am put on the throne. Though how does "Princess Noxa" sound to you? I think it has a nice ring to it no?"

Noxa snorted at the Arcosian. Even in his attempt at making an apology this one was extremely rigid and proud. IF it were any other circumstances Noxa would’ve admired — even respect the qualities. However, because they had to do with her own with events that happened only yesterday — in public — she had to scold him.
She had to admit, however, his offer was intriguing. Whole he wasn’t exactly right in her desire to flex her power, he was right in the sense that she was looking for a job — her shop had begun to see more movement as of late, but this kind of job offer was the type you’d put first on a resume. This is the kind of thing that separated corporations from back alley businessmen.
Noxa nodded, “It does have a ring to it.” She admitted, “But… How about a position of power?” She wondered, “I want to be of some influence too.” She said, “Give me a special military unit.” She declared, “And some advertising space for my shop! Then we have ourselves a deal."
And, finally, there came the last part of her contract. "There is also a planet in your possession that I want under my control. Completely. Planet Zillyana; it was taken over by Arcosian forces roughly 15 years ago."

"A Position of power?" He asked. "Hmmm... I suppose I could do that, as long as we had the people for it." He looked her up and down. "But only if you pose. Posing is essential to keep Morale Up." He stretched for a moment then looked back to her. " A military unit wont be difficult. However, in doing so that means you have to swear loyalty to the Empire. I'm not just going to give you a force and then not expect you to take orders."
At the Mention of Zilyana he blinked. "Zilyana... Planet sounds familiar..." He muttered. "Might of been one I conquered." He shrugged. "It matters little to me. You can have the whole thing. Blow it up, sleep with it, whatever you want."
He held out his hand to her. "So its a deal then." He said. "We'll shake on it and the contract will be binding."

“Only if I pose…?”
For a split second, there was a bright glimmer in the woman’s eyes; something fierce and passionate. Without hesitation, her body bulged into a state similar to an experienced weight lifter. Her hip staying and freezing to the right, her left arm moving off downward, and her right hand moving up as her fingers splayed over her face.
Noxa has utilized [UT] Menacing Posing!
As the woman’ threw the pose her power began to grow. It was clear that this was not only something she frequently performed, but also a well-used skill in her arsenal. In fact, Retsu might have been able to recall her using it a few times during the training session between herself, he, and Rafar.
It probably helped that the woman’s hair seemed to be an extension of her own body, meaning she wouldn’t need a coincidental breeze to look good. Morale was likely assured. Of course, with the confirmation that there wasn’t any kind of issue with Noxa being in control of the planet she sought over the woman found herself nodding.
“You’ve got yourself a deal, Liz-- Lord Retsu!” she said, holding her hand out to be shaken. “I still want that advertising space, though. Somewhere really big and blatant.”
The woman’s eyes soon found themselves pulled away and into the bag of goodies, her belly grumbling instantly. Power and a beautiful tan could wait — this was a one-way ticket into Pocky’s heart, for sure!

Noxa struck a pose, and there was a silent wind that blew past the two of them. Retsu stared for a few moments before clearing his throat. " Right well, good on you then." He shook his head and looked to her hand as she held it out. He shook it before looking Noxa over.
"We'll see what we can do about the advertising space. Though right now that isn't a concern." Once the hand shake was over he took a step back and began to float up. " We leave in three hours. Don't disappoint me."
And with that he turned and flew off, leaving noxa to fantasize about sweets.
