Prismatic has posed:
    It's not often that Alexis looks like she lost a fight.

    Today, that's exactly what she looks like. Her pantihose are ruined, full of holes, her bare feet covered in dirt and drying mud. Her blouse was soaking wet. HEr jacket was soaking wet, her skirt was mildly damp. Her knee was scraped up a bit, but it doesn't look like there's any big enough concern for her to hang around the medical ward after droping Jeremy off.

    She has a concerned look on her face as she distractly unbuttons her blouse, going to the bereau and digging around for a shirt.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie comes walking into the room. He has been handling a few things. As he sees Alexis, his brow raises and looks over to her "You ok hon?" He will ask as he walks over towards her. Concern showing on his face.

Prismatic has posed:
    "Mmm?" Alexis questions, shedding t he blouse and pulling on a T-shirt. She looks down at the damp spots still forming, and gives a slight scowl.

    "Jeremy... had an accident. At the lake." she explains quietly. "I dumped my heels so I could run faster to get down there -- Rogue was already on site. She... started CPR and mouth to mouth on the lad." she states, grabbing a pair of jeans and ducking into the bathroom to wash off her legs.

    "... Jeremy may need some time to come back around from his panic... and Rogue..." she trails off, and she breathes out, and looks back to Sam.

    "... if there was ever a candidate for a powers mulligan--"

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie 's brow does raise at the mention of Rogue giving mouth to mouth. "Yea, she is one of the people who have it rough." He admits. He walks over to put his arms around Alexis from behind "Overall everyone came out fine though?"

Prismatic has posed:
    "... that will take time to answer." Alexis admits, straightening up a little as she leans back against Sam, her eyes closing, her head tilting back.

    "Jeremy's in medical right now. Shannon arrived on scene. Rogue seemed shaken after the experience." she explains. "... overall, rotten afternoon."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie nods, and says "Well Rogue when she touches gets their memories and such as well as their powers, sometimes strong personality traits come through as well, so she was probably dealing with a lit of the issues we have helped Jeremy learn how to cope with suddenly

Prismatic has posed:
    "That was my British Understated way of saying 'the poor girl's a bit fucked.'" Alexis replies.

    She turns her gaze up to Sam, and gives a shake of her head. "She promised she would go by Medical should she feel poorly in a while, but... you know me. I worry."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie smiles down at her, and says "Well you are a good person, and worry about your friends, and students part of what makes you a good teacher and friend." He offers her a kiss on the forehead. "Anything I can do to make you feel better?

Prismatic has posed:
    Alexis gives a small grin, and then leans back over to finish spraying off her legs in the shower.

    "Now that you mention it, there is this fabulous new restaurant in New York that I wanted to try--" she jokes to Sam, and dries off her legs.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie smiles and says "Well, I do believe, I know someone who can get you there, and is willing to take you tonight, if you want to go tonight." He grins at her "What kind of dress code?"

Prismatic has posed:
    "It was either business casual or casual, I can't remember which -- but I always clean up so nicely." she smiles, and she pulls on her jeans, discarding the ruined pantihose in the bin.

    "But tonight? Maybe just Harry's. I'm already in a T-shirt and jeans, I don't want to change *again*." she smiles.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie smiles and nods his head, a bit to this and says "So, want to take the Guthrie express, or the bike into town?" He asks her whistling as she changes into the pants.

Prismatic has posed:
    "Keep observing and remark it to your memory, Kentucky." the girl gives a grin, grabbing a hairtie from a pack on the counter in the bathroom, and pulling her hair back. "You know that when we're actually married, according to American TV we'll just snark at one another forever." she jokes.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie looks over and says "Well, I think when we are married, nothing much will change from now, I will still love you, and we will still give one another a hard time, but only in fun and with love." He grins and says "That and we may work on having a couple kids down the road."

Prismatic has posed:
    "I shall never accept your Southern Sweet Tea. Hummingbirds could subsist on such nectar." Alexis sticks her tongue out at Sam playfully, and then goes to walk out into the room again.

    "'Work on' having, hmm? How many grandchildren is your mother expecting, because Nonna suggested 'fifteen'." she gives a wry look.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie grins and says "Well, Ma, has a few to give them, so, I would guess probably 20-30 or so, but that would be from all of us." He tells her. "I figure 2-3 to start with and then once we have those we can decide if we want to try for more. Mind you twins do run in the family."

Prismatic has posed:
    "Fraternal or identical?" Alexis inquires, looking over her shoulder at Sam as she goes to a closet -- Joe the Warrior, the big, scarred up orange tomcat gives a complaining 'mrroww.' as he's removed from a laundry basket and set on the bed.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie says, "Fraternal mostly Lewis and Cissie are the latest pair in the family. " He will move to give Joe a scritch behind the ear, to help his wounded pride of being moved."

Prismatic has posed:
    "Aah, see, that happens on your mother's side. Doesn't happen on mine. We're all singletons." Alexis replies with a wry note in her voice.

    Joe gives his rumbly, dump-truck purr at the scritching, and moves to rub up against Sam, since Alexis so cruelly ejected him.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie nods a bit and says "So, how many do you want to have?" He asks her, as he continues pet Joe. "Think someone will do his part on teaching us to give the smaller one in the house attention."

Prismatic has posed:
    "Provided he's... with us. You know, long enough for that to happen... but it's good practice for now." Alexis gives a smile, and she gives a small shrug as she sits down.

    "Well... I was raised Catholic, and other than a bunch of the other rules that we've broken with the whole 'cohabitation' thing --" she gives a wry smile, "Catholics don't tend to use birth control. Mind you, I'm only 'loosely' Catholic at this point -- don't tell Kurt."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie chuckles and nods his head a bit to this and moves to sit down beside her. "Well, I think Kurt would be ok with you being loosely catholic, as long as you have found a good place with your faith." He offers her. "Well, I figure we can figure if we want to try to control it once we have a couple. Mind you as long as we are helping here, think we got plenty of babysitters." He jokes

Prismatic has posed:
    "Honestly I think the only faith that would disappoint Kurt is if I joined some sort of self-hating Anti Mutant Church." Alexis replies, and she reaches over to run her nails first through Warrior Joe's fur, and then reaching up to run her fingers down Sam's arm.

    "... can you imagine the amount of squealing, happy noises we would incur if we were to produce a tiny little baby and bring them here?"

    Alexis gets a thousand yard stare.

    "... all I can see is the four-am running sessions, you with one of the baby bands, cracking dad jokes with no irony."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie smiles and says "Oh, Ah am sure, there would be lots of squealing, and probably would have to set a schedule for who gets to hold the baby when and for how long. Ah mean we got the kids like Shannon who would be all gaga over him or her, and Jean and Scott and the rest probably be all "The littlest X-man ever." He grins and says "Hey we have dealt with supervillains kids should be easish?"

Prismatic has posed:
    "... all the terrible influences on our hypothetical kid, too. Remy, Wade -- Wade is under no circumstances allowed to hold the hypothetical kid -- the man fell out of a portal from Space where he was fighting some sort of awful... leek... people?" she trails off a moment, and bites the inside of her cheek.

    "... you know, Shannon will be graduated. She might change her mind about pursuing a position here."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie nods, and says "True, but I got a feeling, she will still want to see us, could be wrong, but heck her parents even moved semi close recently." He tells her. "Yea, no Wade holding the kid, and I will tell Logan he has to leave the cigars across the room if he is around the kid"

Prismatic has posed:
    "I... honestly can't see Logan caring much about a baby, but any excuse to stay away from people he would probably abide by." ALexis adds quietly, and she smiles, and leans lightly against Sam, scritching still on Warrior Joe.

    "... you want to be a dad pretty badly, don't you?"

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie says, "Ah am a bit scared Ah will do a good job, but Ah think it will be nice when it happens, you unsure about being a momma?" He asks her, and lets her scritch Joe, and he rubs her back."

Prismatic has posed:
    "... I am bloody terrified of being a parent. Do you know how incredibly difficult it is to live up to my grandparents as parents? My father is a waste of human existence burrowed up his own arse so far that you can hardly tell the difference 'cept when he passes gas it comes out his *ears* and my mother was cowed by him for such a long time, and I don't have siblings I had tutors and was teaching master classes at Thirteen and good *Lord* Sam, what if we have a kid and there's no powers at all and no music talent are we supposed to be disappointed that your Super Guthrie genes didn't override my asshole father's poor genetic donation?!" Alexis breathes out, and then her eyes go wide and she hugs the cat.

    ". . . I'm scared I'll be a horrible mother with high expectations and low tolerance for variables."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie looks to her, and says "I have seen how you are with the kids hon. You are encouraging and caring and you make those who your around live a better life. If the kid has no powers, or no musical talent, we will still love them, and do our best to help them embrace what ever they like and are good at."

Prismatic has posed:
    "... and if I'm just an awful parent like my father, will you allow me to live in the bowels of some opera house and compose melacholy music?" she asks, leaning against Sam and looking up at him with her doe-eyes, all innocent and totally not referencing Phantom of the Opera.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie shakes his head, and says "No, I will take you in hand, and help you learn to be a better parent, but your not your father hon, you care about people, your dad only cares about himself and how people see him. But if you want one of the half masks, we can get you one, but I will be wearing the other half, and nothing else." He teases

Prismatic has posed:
    "... that somehow feels so very, very wrong." Alexis murmurs.

    IMDB Laughs in the background as Emmy Rossum, somewhere, feels a chill.

    "So if I suffer post partum you're going nudist. I can work with this." she jokes, and gives a little grin up to Sam.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie grins a bit more, and leans in to kiss her softly, and says "Ah will be there for you love, we will be alright together." He kisses her again "So, you still want to grab food?"

Prismatic has posed:
    Alexis just gives a little bit of a smile, and eases The Warrior off the bed -- and then reaches for the lightswitch.

    Harry's can wait.
