Rogue has posed:
Rogue is in the kitchen, with potatoes on boil, chicken in the frier and somewhere there's a radio or a speaker playing a twangy country song. She's giving little shimmy-shakes while checking food that she's cooking but otherwise she's alone (so she thinks) and is acting a fool of it.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie smells the smell of fried chicken, and a brow raises. It smells pretty good, so he wonders who might be cooking it. Rogue and Gambit being his first two thoughts. He heads into the kitchen to see whats up. He smirks a bit when he sees Rogue cooking and having fun. He will lean against the doorframe for a moment, and as a song he knows comes on he will sing "

     In the deep, dark hills of eastern Kentucky
    That's the place where I trace my bloodline
     And it's there I read on a hillside gravestone
     "You will never leave Harlan alive"

     He is not as good as his brother not by far, but it is a song that means something to him, so he does at least try some.

Rogue has posed:
Rogue jumps about ten feet in the air as Sam's voice comes from behind to join with the voice over the radio. Once she's settled back in her feet, she glances behind and gives Sam a bit of a smirk. "Well hell's bells, lookit what the possom drug in." She says this and then moves to drain the potatoes now that they're soft enough. "What brings ya by? Didn't you gradutate or somethin' recently?" A pause. "Also, nice voice..."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie chuckles and says "I am ok, you want to hear Nice, you should hear Jay. " He moves to watch a bit and says "Well, I still got a room here since I help teach and watch after the new mutants." He tells her, even if his graduation was a few years ago. "Smells like you decided there needed to be decent food in the mansion for a bit." He teases

Rogue has posed:
"Yeah. Cajun don't come around near enough as he used to ta feed us... so someone's gotta let these kids remember what good food tastes like.." Rogue offers this as she grins towards Sam. "But you know what'll go really good with all this?" Asking as she takes the first batch of chicken from the frier. "You should make a fresh batch of your sweet tea..."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie nods, and says "And here Ah thought you were going to say biscuit's and gravy." He smiles at her, but does move to get an electric kettle down to start boiling water. "Gotta say these are great for boiling water, Alexis has one for her hot tea, and seen how quick it works to boil it, I use it for the starter water for my tea.

Rogue has posed:
Rogue gives a grin and nods. "Oh yeah. Kettles are like a god send, honest." Then she has to give a giggle. "I mean, biscuits and gravy and chicken and mash... that's some real good cookin' there. But home made biscuits can take some time.." She offers this and then goes to pour potatoes back in the pot, adding butter and salt and pepper and heavy cream to begin mashing. "So, how have things been?"

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie looks over and says "PRetty good, club's been doing well, got to go spend some time with Alexis last weekend, planning on going back over to see her soon. She is spending time with her grand parents in italy.

Rogue has posed:
"Next time we meet, it'll be at your club. I really should go and see what it's all about. Get out into the world a bit and...maybe try to do this thing called making friends.." Rogue offers this and then laughs a little. "Italy huh? Did she recently leave or did you go there and come back to visit?"

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie says, "I went and visited, her Nona hurt her hip, so she has been out there making sure she is ok. Every time I go there Nona starts in with the whole "I am sick and hurt, it would be so nice to have great grand kids before I die. She is still healthy but playing the hip for all it's worth."

Rogue has posed:
Rogue ah's and nods. "Oof. But I mean, is that what y'all want? White picket fence, little house, and kids runnin' 'round?" She asks this and then tilts her head. "Course it likely wouldn't be like that would it? Cause yer kids might be mutants...and no mutant ever gets the happy ever after.."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie looks over and says "Ah don't know Ah think Ah am pretty close to it, and we plan on having kids eventually but not ready yet. I already have a place, no white picket fence, but it is a farm down home close to mom's got some friends running it, I have the main house but got a second house on the property they get to stay in for free, for watching and working the farm. All I ask from them is when they sell stuff enough for taxes and upkeep, they get the rest.

Rogue has posed:
Rogue nods. "I mean if it works for you... whenever you're ready for it to. I'm glad ya got somethin' you can use to put down roots.." She says this and then begins to plate some chicken and potatoes. "Do you want a plate, Sam?"

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie nods, and says "Please." He asks, and will start the tea to seeping, and plunders in the fridge pulling the pitcher out and splitting what was left of the last batch between him and Rogue. "Working for Berto at the club has been good, able to help ma, and put some money back."

Rogue has posed:
Rogue fixes up another plate and sets them both down on the table, then silverware, and then she sits. "I just work here... And even then that's not saying much. Cause I don't really do anything unless one of the students get a detention.." She says this much. "Sometimes I wonder if I should take a side job doing something else. Keep myself busy..."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie looks over and as he sits down he says "Well same offer I make the higher teen students, if you want to work at the club some let me know and can set you up some hours. Heck even can set you up as security, but you watch this video Guido set up for me." He sets her tea down for her and says "He came in and helped with security, a while back."

Rogue has posed:
Rogue blinks, reaching for the glass he sets down in front of her to take a drink from it. "Really? You'd want me to come work security at the club?" Asking this and then she smiles. "Unless there's an issue I wouldn't have to deal with anyone right? Like just sit in a room and watch cameras for a few hours a night?"

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie says, "Well either sit in a room, or maybe sit at the bar, or something with a shirt on that says security or something. We try to go by Roadhouse rules with security." He offers a smile and tastes the food. "Nice.""

Rogue has posed:
Rogue nods. "I could do that. The security shirt will have to go over the body suit but that's fine..." She takes another bite of food and smiles. "Glad you like it..." Then chases food with a drink of tea. "Maybe I can come to the club and get a feel for it... see what all I might be up against."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie nods a bit and says "Sure, you can come out when ever ya want, if you want to see the place before people get there can arrange that too.

Rogue has posed:
Rogue nods. "I'll do that then. Likely come in when there's people, then when there's not. I'll keep in touch with you on it." This said and then, "But I should take a plate down to Hank, otherwise he might not eat...gets all caught up in his work you know. It was nice talking with you, Sam."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie nods his head a bit and says "You to, and if you ever need anything call me and Ah will come a blasting." He offers with a smile, "You take it down, I will clean up, in payment for the meal."
