Samsara had to pass through the gardens to get to her quarters. It felt nostalgic to her, walking through those gardens under Shinto's tutelage. The gardens were a sort of hub point for the Prowlers, it was where most tenno meditated or practiced their technique. Some were training as Samsara passed, she gave a nod of respect to those who regarded her. Despite travelling through the relaxing and nostalgic gardens, Samsara was still angered by Kuro. Her soft expression couldn't hide it in her purple eyes or her agile pace. To her, Kuro was a coward, needing an honor guard to protect him and wanting to thin the ranks loyal to the Lotus before striking her at the heart. To Samsara, and the late Shinto, fighting impossible odds was the only way to fight for a good reason.

Samsara gritted her teeth, that despicable Kuro... She and Kuro were both a part of the great Clan Prowler during the Orokin era before being put into cryosleep. Kuro had been reawakened months before herself, retrained by Shinto first and as such, was slated to be his successor. She knew that Shinto didn't want it that way, but those were the rules of succession. [b]"Pompous bastard..."[/b] she growled quietly to herself, so none of the tenno practicing around her could hear.

She was about to leave the gardens when she was stopped. The raven haired woman looked over her shoulder as her name was called, she spotted Jenus. Taking in a breath and letting it out slowly to relax herself, she turned to face him. [b]"Hello, Jenus. How has the dojo been treating you these past couple weeks?"[/b] her voice seemed calm, but her eyes still had that flare of frustration in them. Samsara studied him for a moment, [b]"Been working on your form, I see."[/b] she looked to him kamas.

Samsara was about to continue, but saw one of the tenno enter the garden through the same doorway she had. He was an Excalibur, the one she had struck and embarrassed in front of Kuro, one of his honor guard. He was looking right at her, and judging by his stance as he walked in her direction, he was coming to get even. Samsara narrowed her eyes, [b]"One step closer, Naga. See what happens."[/b] her bracelet started to channel energy, in case she needed to call upon her warframe.

She kept her eyes on the honor guard as he stopped and looked back at her. He drew his Cronus and slowly started to work on his own technique, knowing full well what would have happened if he made an attempt of getting back at Samsara at that moment. Her bracelet's glow diminished, and a small smirk curled the corners of her lips. [b]"Now then."[/b] she looked back to Jenus, [b]"Let's go elsewhere."[/b]

With that, she left the gardens with Jenus, [b]"How long has it been now? Since you were last contracted?"[/b] she asked, looking to him as they passed through the dojo halls, [b]"We're going to be busy in the next little while..."[/b]
