---

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie is down in the normal gym area. He is wearing sweats and is actually over near the bar stretching out. He has his foot resting on the bar. He has some music playing on the rooms PA. The type of music changes from a classical piece to more current one while he moves to do a bit more of the ballet exersices.

Prismatic has posed:
    Allegra had been coming down to get her own physical in, a small tote bag slung over one shoulder, an old denim jacket on over a black leotard with tan leggings, pointe shoes hanging over one shoulder (in need of new ones, in fact), but she hes that someone's already occupied the room, and she gives a pause, poking her head in sliightly, surprised to see a barre already set up.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie finishes stretching and will start going through a few moves. Sam is not a professional but started classes at sixteen and has practiced on at least semi regular bases. As he moves though it can be told that ballet is not the only dance he does. He moves from one style to another with an easy flow. Yes that boy can dance.

Prismatic has posed:
    That boy can dance, which proves a fascinating discovery for Allegra. She purses her lips, watching him dance with a critical eye before she sets her things to the side -- quietly! -- and steps up to the barre to warm up, listening to the music that Sam's picked out. Hey, music is an excellent indicator of someone's mood and likes, right?

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie has a bit of an odd line up of music, it goes from current, to classical, to country. Today there is not much metal in the mix, as it is a bit odder to dance to. He will run through a decently difficult modern movements, before he notices Alexis while doing a spin landing. He will look over grinning as he walks over "Hey there did not hear ya come in." He will say and adds "Music 25 percent."

Prismatic has posed:
    Allegra gives a wry little smile, and a shrug. "I'm quiet when I have to be." she replies softly, then she brings one leg up to the barre, leaning her ankle against it, and drawing down, her other leg bending as she stretches.

    "I was admiring the view." she jokes, "You are a man full of surprises, Sam."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie smiles a bit and will move behind her to help support her, and says "What told you the other day Ah could dance." He grins a bit at her, and says "I started taking dance classes from Stevie when I started school here. Learned a bit more of how to do things besides just square dance, and line dance." He jokes a bit

Prismatic has posed:
    "Ah, square and line dancing, two methods of dance I'm not the least bit familiar with." the lady replies with amusement in her voice as she leeeeeaaaaaaaans back against Sam as she brings her leg back up, up, and leaning the leg back and over her shoulder, her arm drawing up to grip at her heel as she stretches.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie smiles and says "Well, Ah can show ya sometime, but it is a wee bit different than this." He will help support her for her stretches and says "So, you do much dancing besides Ballet hon?" He will smile and says "Ah can dance with you when you want to hon."

Prismatic has posed:
    "Ah, ballet, lyrical, basic waltz, tango, foxtrot, took a semester of tap but really wasn't my style." she replies quietly, her legs are fully split now as she holds onto the barre with one hand, going up to her toes en pointe before she sloooooooowwwwly leans backwards, looking at Sam from about his waist, and she gives an amused smile.

    "Though really, the last time I had a dance partner it was a rather romantic moment on a rooftop... before /someone/ let us fall from the edge!"

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie smiles a bit and says "Sounds like a real cad." He grins, and makes sure his hands are at the right spots on her back holding her and smiling down at her. "I heard you were pretty tough though, was even considering saving his dumb butt."

Prismatic has posed:
    "Unbelivably caddish." she jokes back, feeling his hands at her back, and she gives a slight sigh.

    "Well, you know, common decency. He did pay for the food, least I can do is try to protect his derriarre, in spite of the fact that it might not be the smartest."

    She straightens up then, turning and starting to stretch the other leg, "Looked awfully smart in that blue and yellow number, though. Don't think I didn't look."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie smirks a bit and will move his hands to support her from the front this time, and says "Not to shabby in the bumble bees or what you have on yourself." He grins at her. "Ah do know that no matter what even if he falls or is falling with you, he would always catch you and keep you safe."

Prismatic has posed:
    "You are perhaps the most hopelessly romantic sort of gentleman I have ever met, Sam!" the girl laughs, tilting her head back again, drawing her leg up and just -- going up onto pointe again, her ankle against Sam's shoulder. Short girlfriend is, indeed, short.

    "I would have to have the bumblebee taken in, a little bit." she comments gently. "So... at... what point do we get our own uniforms?" she inquires, drawing herself up, bending her middle now, grasping her toes, looking up to Sam, who's just such a handy helper.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie 's hands will be right above her hips, and is trying to be helpful and enjoying being there with her. "Well hon, are you wanting to take the route we go with the students, or more the one for people who come in and join the team that way?" He will smile at her, and says "Students keep the bumblebees till they have either graduates, or done something to earn something else. We had our graduation costumes and ended up in them to hide ourselves a bit when we were doing something we were not supposed to.

Prismatic has posed:
    "Well, I'm not a student, striiictly speaking. In spite of some of the students mistaking me for one." the young assistant makes a face, and she gives a small laugh

    "Besides, Sam, what am I going to do? Just... lecture people until they stop being bad?" she inquires gently, and gives a soft 'ha' sound, and then she brings her leg down, adjustting her pointe shoes a little, the block-tipped, hard dancing shoes keeping her feet in a certain position.

    "I'm not clever and phase, like Kitty, or have all the powers Gwen has." she gives a wry smile, stretching her finger slightly.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie says, "Well, Ah do think your pretty clever hon." He will move to lift her up, and spin around holding her, off the ground. "If you want to be a hero, would probably be working on your hand to hand fighting, and might be able to find a way to use your prismatic abilities to help."

Prismatic has posed:
    She might be small, but she's not precisely 'light'. The armoring doesn't seem to have much affect on her weight, but she's solidly muscled. If a horrible puncher.

    She laughs a moment as Sam draws her around, and she flexes one arm up, one leg out, toes pointed as her other leg curl gracefully along his side, her other arm back and around his neck. Graceful and intimate as they practice, and flirt just a little.

    "And then what? Someone recognizes me, and points out that Allegra Caradenza, Filipe Caradenza's only daughter, is a mutant? Put my mother in danger because oh no, it would never be the /Caradenza/ side that has bad biology." she smiles though, leaning against Sam, feeling his warmth along her back.

    "I could stand to learn more hand-to-hand, I suppose."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie says, "Well, if your wanting to do the hero thing full time, Ah would suggest getting a mask if your worried about being recognized." He will let her back down to her feet after a moment. He leans in and kisses her softly "No bad biology at all there. Pretty sure, hot smart, and talented if damn good genetics.""

Prismatic has posed:
    Alelegra laughs, and she draws back up to pointe, taking tiny little steps, floating accross the gym floor from Sam after he kisses her.

    "Mmhm. And you, romantic, sympathetic, so caring... not to mention you always found the moments someone needs for support." she gives a grin to Sam, looking over her shoulder as she stretches one leg out, the opposite arm rising up. te ,atching arm stretching out.

    "Ma Guthrie must be so very proud of her children."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie nods his head a bit to this and says "Ma, and Pa did a good job, and Ma has done an amazing one after pa passed." He will motion her to him, ready to catch her and lift her up. Ma will count you as one of hers Ah am pretty sure. Will warn ya though, she is still friends with Lila.

Prismatic has posed:
    The dancer, resting a moment, her legs crossed, feet almost flat to the ground draws back up on pointe, and she begins to spin, leg kicking out as she approaches with dizzying speed and then, at the last minute, she leaps.

    It's a very "Time of my Life" moment, and she looks down to Sam.

    "That... shouldn't phase me, right? You've really had nothing but nice things to say about Lila."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie smiles and will catch her lifting her to full arm extension and slowly lowers her, and as he does he pulls her in close, and says "Not really, just making sure you knew as maybe odd, hearing ma talk about my ex at some point, pretty sure she will do her best not to while your around though to be honest

Prismatic has posed:
    Allegra can appreciate a strong partner. Also Sam is much, much taller than most of the lads when she was learning. Her heart thuds as she looks down, and she gives a slow breath before she smiles, drawing down, being held closely to him.

    "Well... I wouldn't... I wouldn't know what is proper, to be honest. I've just been taking every day as it comes. Some of the behaviors here wouldn't have been tolerated in St. Cici's." she jokes.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie smiles and says "Well Ah do hope Ah get to go visit there at some point and meet your grandma. " He will lead her through a few more dance moves, and says "So, what do you want now hon, what can Ah help you get?"

Prismatic has posed:
    "Why, are you looking for Christmas gift ideas? Because, to be honest, 'a profession' is quite the gift." the dark-haired girl replies with a slight laugh.

    "Someday, perhaps, once I'm more sure of myself, I will take you to met my nan. She's terrible proper though, you'll have to address her as Dame Fiore."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie grins and says "Ah can't just call her English Granny?" He will ask her, and says "Ah still do need to find you the right present. The job and you being here is more a present to me. Ah get to have you nearby, and spend time with you, it is a great thing."

Prismatic has posed:
    "I'm afraid if you do address her as 'English Granny', she may have you thrown out of the estate." the dancer gives a slight smirk back at sam, and she's back at the barre, running through foot-strengthening exersizes. It' quite clear that her legs are the strongest part of her -- other than maybe the armor.

    "Well, a new pair of pointe shoes? I'll have to get you the maker information for which I wear. These are some years old... probably do need to be replaced." she murmurs to herself, "The shank's going a bit. -- and don't think that I haven't gotten some ideas for what to gift you, Mr. Guthrie. At least we both know it won't be a dog collar!" she gives a teasing grin.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie chuckles a bit and moves over to lean in and kiss her cheek. He will nod a bit and says "Ok, not a bad thing to know, and you sure, not the whole earrings and collars?" He teases a bit to this and says "And also need to know what size fuzzy mouse joe takes."

Prismatic has posed:
    "I just don't think that look suited your... personality." the British Allegra replies with a grin.

    "Oh, I've not gotten him to take to fuzzy mice. He's more interested in a warm place to sleep and a full food bowl at his age." she laughs. "Maybe we can go half on a really nice cat tree for him."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie hmms and says "We want to buy one or make him one?" He will ask her. He will start to stretch a bi in cooldown mode unless Alexis is wanting to continue

Prismatic has posed:
    "Make him one? I think you might mistake me for someone who's good with her hands. Minus.. you know, fencing and fancy arm movements." Allegra replies to Sam, letting him cool down. She continues her own warm ups, showing off how really flexible she is. "I can hardly cook ramen without burning the water."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie smiles a bit and says "It was a lot cheaper to fix something ourselves instead of calling a repair guy any time something broke. He smiles a bit at her, and says "So which you think your family will be the worst freaked out about? The fact Ah am a mutant, an american, or was a coal miner at one point.

Prismatic has posed:
    "That all depends on who you meet first. My mother? Coal miner, perfectly scandalous that you've performed any manual labor instea dof say... being an art student, or struggling actor My father? Mutant. Along with the terrifying idea that any grandchildren that may come will also be mutants, tainting his grand Caradenza name. My grandmother? Most assuredly that you are an American, but you've already done her a favor in letting her know that I'm all right."

    And she breathes out a moment. "Paolo that you are more handsome than he, most certainly would be worse than all three. Papa and Nona, though, would probably just be releived that I'm dating."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie 's brow raises a bit and says "Paolo? Papa and Nona are momma's mom and dad right? " He is trying to get it all down, but it does take a bit of work. "And Granny Fiore, seemed a sweet lady and helps people, don't sound like she is too bad a lady."

Prismatic has posed:
    "Paolo is my uncle, Paolo Caradeza, poised to take over Papa and Nona's winery and olive groves. He's... a little odd, but very proud. Papa and Nona are my Italian grandparents, my father's parents. Fiore is an Italian name, but before she was a Florin my great-grandmother was a Cooper, then had my grandmother after being married to a Florin-- that brought quite a bit of scandal, in fact, since Mildred Fiore was their sole heir and couldn't inherit any titles due to being a lady, but earned her own title by being a very nice lady." Allegra gives a run-down of her family. "Was enamoured with but ultimately did not marry my maternal biological grandfather but took the professional last name Fiore -- stage name, it was supposed to be something fancy in the 70, so my mother was Amelia Florin, her mother is professionally Dame Mildred Fiore but actually Dame Mildred Florin, and my father's a horses arse."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie nods, a bit and says "Ma has a few brothers and sisters, and Pa had a couple brothers. The main one who was coming around when we were young was uncle Luke, and he was a bit of the black sheep in the family, is actually in prison right now." He walks over to take her hands, and says "I will do my best to get it all sorted out and remembered, the important part is the lady in front of me.

Prismatic has posed:
    "Too right, I'm the important one." Allera gives a small laugh, and she leans contentedly against Sam, her arms drawing against his waist.

    "So... do I have to get an additional application to join the special hero training group, or is it just carte blanche that you get to throw things at me until we figure things out?" she jokes.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie says, "Well thats pretty much you want in on training we will work o it, some of the others will probably be wiling to work with you. Don't think they will be planning on you for x-men missions, but you might get to come help with things, or if we go back to the moon, if we do bring extra oxygen trust me on that one"

Prismatic has posed:
    "... what do you *mean* 'go to the moon'? Samuel Guthrie! You've been to Asgard /and the moon/?"

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie smiles and says "Ok, you want to know all the places Ah have been?" He grins at her, and says "The whole life here has sent me through a lot of different things. Some of them your going to think Ah am bullshitting you, but promise you Ah won't bullshit you on that stuff."

Prismatic has posed:
    "I can't possibly think that you are b-bullshitting me, Sam! You said there was a dragon, there is a dragon. There was a flying horse, /there is a flying horse/!" Allegra throws her arms up and states "I am the least intersting person in this entire school and you're dropping 'oh yes, by the by dear, I went to the moon the other day, had to bring by some extra oxygen'!" she laughs. "My God, were anyone else to start in on this I would think them mad! "

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie smiles a bit and says "Well the moon trip was only once, and it went a little south, we came pretty close to not coming back from it honestly." He will tell her "Possibly my worst trip into space to be honest."

Prismatic has posed:
    Sam would earn just a very light, rather wimpy punch to his arm as Allegra just busts out laughing. "'Possibly my worst trip into space', go on." she grins. "Well, looks like I'm in for a world of adventure now, aren't I, if I were to pursue this heroing business."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie grins and says "Well the first exposer Ah had with a real alien was the night I brought Doug into the team. Turns out what Berto and Ah found in the pound was an alien named Warlock, he joined us on the team, good guy but we had to teach him about earth.

Prismatic has posed:
    "That just seems so very... odd." Allegra mutters, and she pulls away from Sam again, reaching up to ruffle his hair (and going on pointe to do so), and she draws back over and begins to remove her pointe shoes. "How is Roberto doing?"

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie says, "Doing pretty good from what I have heard, him dating Lorna is bit of a new thing going on. It will be interesting to see how Erik reacts to them dating. Ah am sure there will be some huffing and puffing, but might actually make him happier. He knows Berto is a good guy, not jewish might be an issue."

Prismatic has posed:
    The dark haired girl gives a wry smile, and she breathes out again, rubbing the back of her head. "It's... still weird to think of, actually, first of referring to... to Magneto by an actual name and to think 'oh hey, his daughter's dating this guy my boyfriend learned football from and the biggest issue might be that he's not Jewish'." she just pauses.

    "... which is pretty much as bad as Nonna maybe having an issue that you're not Catholic."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie looks over, and says "Does it help if you add in he was our teacher for a time, someone who I have worked with and against both, but who I do respect. If you want to go to Genosha sometime ah can show you around.

Prismatic has posed:
    "My one experience ever related to him was getting grabbed by a man wearing a 'Magneto was Right' shirt and shaken about a bit when I was a wee girl on a day trip to London and all sorts of... well. People talk." he states quietly, rubbing the back of her neck.

    She leans against the barre a moment, and she exhales.

    "I'm not sure, Sam." she admits uietly. "I like Lorna, well enough for having met her once', but there's a big difference between this... mythology and hearsay of a person... and then seeing them as an actual person. You know all these incredible people, and me? It's like every time I turn around someone's saying what a wonderful gentleman you are. Just... incredible."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie looks over to her, and rubs the back of his neck and blushes a bit to her "Ah don't know about the whole wonderful and all. Ah remember what it was like seeing all the things for the first time, but to be honest it has been a wild five years. If there is anything you want to know let me know and will tell you what I can.

Prismatic has posed:
    "Everyone. 'Oh! You're Sam Guthrie's girlfriend! He's such a nice guy!'" she jokes, forcing a very Midlands American accent as she bats her eyes at him. "He's so dreamy! I used to have the biggest crush on him!"

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie looks to her, and says "Hey now, Ah only know of two girls who used to have any type of crush on me, both of them being like sisters to me. I am sure, your not hearing crushes on me to often.

Prismatic has posed:
    "Oh, all the time. From everyone." Allegra tries to keep a straight face, but she begins giggling, "No, no, only two people have told me, and I don't care to compare notes to see if it was the same two." she replies gently.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie looks to her, and says "Well Ah know Ah am the lucky one in the relationship, and am pretty sure we get into the more high society things you will be the expert for me there.

Prismatic has posed:
    "Mmmrnn. I don't even want to think about teaching people how to choose the proper piece of silverware if they serve courses out of order." the girl mutters, and she gives a huff. "Besides, what 'high society' things would I be helpful for? You just be your very charming self, Sam, it'll sort itself."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie chuckles and says "Ah don't know, Ah would try but the whole country boy gets me a bit of a look down the nose even before they talk to me Ah think. Ah will make sure to have you around and let you do the talking.

Prismatic has posed:
    "Sam... you... realize that there are fabulously rich and high society people who live in Kentucky, right? And Tennesee? And Georgia? Who raise thoroughbreds, or own the coal mines, or are of old Southern Antebellum money?" Alexis replies gently, drawing back and poking at Sam's arm before she crosses her arms. "Just because I sound posh doesn't mean you can't without even changing a syllable of how you speak."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie looks to her, and says "Oh yea, Ah know there are plenty of those, and know we had to fight and fuss with some of those very people when they did not give a damn about the folks working in the mines. Up here your accent will get a lot more respect than mine hon. We down home, then maybe but up here, not as easy.

Prismatic has posed:
    "Yeah, we had those in St. Cici's too." she mutters crossly. "I imitated my grandmother's accent for so long that it became my own. Before that? Botonian Brogue. Talk about a difference in culture. Going from Boston to Saint Cecelia's, contending with the mix of student there -- it's something of a melting pot. We had some very proper British student, a few Scot, a few Irish -- Turkish, Polish, Chinese. Regardless of their ability to pay. If my grandmother saw someone want to come study, and there was promise in them, she found a way to pay for it. And she'd find her tudents using outreach programs. Visiting dance classes. Scouts going to recitals." she gives a small smile.

    "So... don't think /I/ care where you have been, where you are from. Even the most sparkling diamond, my dear, once came in the rough."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie smiles a bit and says "You know it is sorta funny, sounds like your grandma runs the musical school equivalent to the mutant school here." He grins and says "My class, was Brazilian, Scottish, Vietnamese, Native American, Me, then we added a Girl from a lost Roman colony, a local boy, and a Mutant alien from the far ends of space.

Prismatic has posed:
    "Well, we didn't host any extraterretirals, as far as I know." Allegra comments breezily, and she gives a slight grin.

    "Well, there was Mousaf, but I'm pretty sure he was a virtuoso, like me." she replies gently, and she exhales.

    "Lost Roman Colony? Now you're pulling my leg."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie shakes his head and says "Amara, the one who had your album actually. We first found her pretending to be a native of the amazon, and we ended up back in Nova Roma, and she was the first one to visit the outside world to live. She was the one of us who were into the classical things.

Prismatic has posed:
    "Huh... but... classical music is typically Baroque in fashion, so how would she..." she trails off a moment, giving a soft 'hmm' sound, and decide not to question it as she give a soft humm, and turns back to Sam.

    "There's going to be a lot of different people I'll meet, isn't there Sam?" she gives a small grin over to the blond, and then as she passes him, she hip-checks his leg.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie nods, and says "She got into the classical once she got here, since it was something she likes, and was expected knowledge when dealing with ambassadors and such." He smiles and says "And yea your gonna meet a lot of people around here. Normally all mutants, but we do have one metahuman student who is a speedster and an artist.

Prismatic has posed:
    "I see." the girl replies quietly, and she gives a soft 'hmm'.

    "I don't suppose there's like, a teacher's guide to teaching the Especially Gifted, probably squirting them with squirt guns is frowned upon."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie chuckles and says "Well Erik tried grounding us but that didn't really work. You can try the squirt gun, but might want to make sure they aint got any bad reactions to water before you shoot them. " He chuckles a bit and says "Most of the kids are good and happy to be here but we do get some pains in the asses on occasion."

Prismatic has posed:
    ".. it's still just weird to think about. Just telling someone 'no, you can't ground me' like that." she laughs, and shrugs. "Oh, there were class clowns at Saint Cici's" she gives a little smile. "I certainly wasn't one of them. I've always been a terribly good girl... minus the whole... self-emancipation thing when I was fifteen."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie smiles and says "Well we didn't quite tell him no, but we had a teleporter on the team, and would justify why we would need to go out. Ah did try to listen even one night there was an alien abduction and Ah had promised not to use my powers at the concert. Was a bit by the book, as soon as the concert stopped I was getting out to stop the aliens.

Prismatic has posed:
    alexis gives a slight grin. "Heh... well. Maybe that provides me a better reason to not play at the club. Aliens might show up." she give a little grin, packing her thing sin and sitting on the floor to remove the tape from her toes.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie will move to sit behind her so she can lean against him. "Not wanting to play in the club, you been taking Shannon lessons, an Ah going to have to start pinching you?" He asks with a grin at her "All the alien abductions I have seen have been based on who they were after, not on where we were.

Prismatic has posed:
    "No, I don't want to play at the club because I've got a secret identity. If omeone posts to media that I'm playing, and someone recognizes me as Allegra and not Alexis, what do you think will happen?" she gives a wry smile.

    "Then I'll have to introduce you to my father, and that won't go well there, sir."

    And she leans back a moment. "... pretty sure you've gone worse than a pinching."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie smirks and says "Ah think you like what Ah do more than a pinching as well." He teases a bit. He does rub her sides, and says "If you do want to play you could do it masked or something but no pressure if your not comfortable doing it.

Prismatic has posed:
    "What, the punch you delivered to my side or the drill press that required two healers?" the merry dancer gives a grin back to Sam, then hops to her knees, and gives a kiss to his cheek.

    "Prety sure you are trying hard to make me the best version I can be, no matter what path I choose." she replies, her arms around his shoulders, her chest to his back.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie he takes her hand and lifts it so he can kiss it. "Well to be honest, Ah try to do that with most people, but you my dear are a bit of a special case. Your someone Iove, and want not only for you to be the best you, but me to be the best me for you.

Prismatic has posed:
    Allegra Caradenza would have to try hard to not mile againt Sam's neck, and instead just gives a gentle kiss to where his jaw meets his neck, her nose against the back of his earlobe.

    "How in the world can other men compare?" she teases lightly, "Done with dance practice for today?"

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie says, "Unless your wanting to try a bit of square or line, we don't need special shoes for them, unless your just wanting to be wearing shit kickers." He uses the term to see if she knows it more than anything else. "Well hopefully they can't and your forced to keep me." he enjoys the closeness with her."

Prismatic has posed:
    "At this point I can claim that I fed you, so you won't go away." she replies ruefully as she just stays koalaing against his back. She's satisfied with this closenes, this casual intimacy between them.

    "... but what is a 'shitkicker'?"

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie chuckles and says "Yes, yes you can, and it is boots. Depending on who you ask, is cause you can kick shit and not really mess anything up, but honestly probably more from stand up to kicking the shit out of someone or something. Think it is more a southern or maybe out west thing. More just a term used now a days maybe a bit uncouth but was curious if you had heard the term

Prismatic has posed:
    "So... like cowboy boots?" Allegra asks, straightening up slightlly. "Do /you/ own any cowboy boots, Sam?" she asks, curiosity now getting the best of her as she raises her eyebrows, staring over his shoulder.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie says, "Well more often work boots, but yea cowboy boots can be called them, and yea, I have a pair or two of cowboy boots, and a pair of two of work hiking type boots as well. " He turns his head to look at her "You like cowboy boots?""

Prismatic has posed:
    "I have never worn them, only ever seen them in movies." she replies with laughter, and then she lets go of Sam, and goes to stand.

    "Hence my curiosity. I mean, it's not like you've ever worn pointe shoes. Aside from the fact that mooost men don't learn pointe." she gives a wry smile as she stands, and stretches.

    "Are they comfortable? CCowboy boots, I mean?"

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie smiles and says "We never did full fledge recitals so had no need to be up on out tips for any length of time. " He will grin and ask her "Would you like a pair of cowboy boots? Maybe a pair of daisy dukes? He turns to stand and looks at her grinning as if he might enjoy the sight of that.

Prismatic has posed:
    "Well, I'm not planning on running recitals, but I would be completely remiss if I gave up on thirteen years of dance lessons from the best tutors France, Russia and Italy had to offer." Allegra replies, and she looks to Sam with a wry smile. "Would that make line dancing easier? ... and.. is... that a style of boot? Daisy Dukes?"

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie smiles over to her, and says "No daisy dukes are shorts based on an old tv show called Dukes of hazzard." He will grin and says "Short shorts that are cut off jeans." He will walk over to her grinning.

Prismatic has posed:
    "... short shorts. /Booty/ shorts short shoots?" the dark-haired woman blinks, "... and you wear those with... cowboy boots?" she ventures, knitting her hands in front of her a moment.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie says, "Some women do, hopefully not many men." He jokes a bit with her, and says "The original character in the show did I think and most of the time a flannel shirt pulled into sorta a bikini top."

Prismatic has posed:
    "That sounds vaguely uncomfortable and cold." Allegra comments, "What did they wear in the winter time? During rain?" Allegra gives a grin, playing along as she shoulders her bag, pulling on some leg warmers and her worn denim jacket.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie smiles and says "Winter was normally long jeans, and a regular flannel, but the show was set in warm weather most of the time." He will tell her. He walks over to put his arm around her and says "So what do you want to do now hon?"

Prismatic has posed:
    "I'm mixed between 'take a shower and see if Bean's picked up on Norwegion Chariot of the Gods Fantasy Metal' and 'prace around in your cowboy boots in spite of the fact that they are going to be far, far too large for my feet.'" Allegra gives a wry grin.

    "Suggestions?"

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie says, "Well, I think 1 and then 3 might be really nice, but probably should either be 2 first or 1,2,3. He will tell her. He looks over to her, and says "The whole vietnam movies sound tracks will probably be pretty much of a hit with him."

Prismatic has posed:
    "I am, mayhaps, trying to steer away from anything involving an awful lot of warfare. I'm not a counselor, and I want to be careful about how much to give him in that regard. I will happily let the more... 'adultier adults' handle sensitive things like that, unless he chooses to confide in me. Bean's a good lad, and I want him to be comfortable playing."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie nods, and says "He has had a rather rough background before he got here." He will tell her. "Ah think he will tell you at some point." He grins to her "So, you want to check on him, and then will meet you upstairs with some snacks, and a movie to watch together?

Prismatic has posed:
    "IS this movie going to include cowboy boots and daisy duke shorts?" Allegra gives a grin. "I'll check on Bean tomorrow. I want to make sure I'm not smothering him."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie smirks a bit and says "It can if you want it to." He will lead her towards the kitchen to get them drinks and snackage

Prismatic has posed:
    "All right, but you know the next one is going to be period drama about the Tudors." she quips, her arm around Sam's waist as he leads her to get the snacks.

    "I'm still going to prance around in those cowboy boots."
