Cast of Characters: Polaris, Magneto




Polaris has posed:
It's been a week or so. Lorna's let tertiary political heads on the island handle the brunt of the work. She's at least out of bed finally. Standing at the shore the water laps at her ankles, soaking the hem of her loose silk pants. Her tunic style blouse drapes around her form, both soft shades of gray. She looks sad, eyes on the water with out really seeing it.

Magneto has posed:
    Wearing a pair of custom pants, rolled up to wrap around his calfs, Erik wades into the water and a large caloused hand finds the small of Lorna's back before his words speak softly above the sounds of rolling and crashing waves.

    "A father can always tell. What's the matter?" The grey haired monarch asks or demands his green haired princess to reveal her heart.

Polaris has posed:
Looking up, Polaris crosses her arms softly. "You can tell." Lorna's voice is soft. "The doctors said it was too much strain on my body...I suppose I brought it on myself trying to do everything myself." She sighs and presses her lips together.

Magneto has posed:
    Erik's hand slowly lifts to her shoulder and with little more than a gentle pressure, he tries to pull her towards his chest. Words start to form on his lips but they get swallowed and caught in the middle of his throat. He isn't disappointed, just immensely sympathetic and heartbroken for his daughter.

Polaris has posed:
Leaning against Magneto, Polaris closes her eyes. "I thought I could do it all on my own. They think restarting the turbines under the island caused....some strain, and then all the stress...that...." She shudders but her eyes are dry, cried out.

Magneto has posed:
    Erik turns his feet in the sand to make his body square with Lorna's and he lifts his other arm towards her shoulder and should she seek it, he'll embrace her, but he doesn't have the mentality to bring her into his chest and hold her like a father truely would hold his daughter after she recieved the worst news of her life. But at least he does stay silent still.

Polaris has posed:
"I'm sorry..." Lorna whispers to her father, closing her eyes. "I wasn't strong enough to be like you, and carry it all." She tells him as her arms wrap around herself. "I did try though, dad. I really did. To save you, and protect the island, be a good wife...."

Magneto has posed:
    "You did everything right and as well as you could. No one could ask more of you. You would be the best wife for any one I know. Your Kurt is a foolish man to have chosen something else instead of you." Erik responds with a hand lifting to brush at Lorna's cheek and then curl her hair behind her ear wishing he knew how to actually be a father to the powerful princess.

Polaris has posed:
"I wish I were stronger...or that I knew how to tell Kurt...or that I knew where he was. We haven't spoken since he tried to track down his mother after the attack." She presses her forehead against his shoulder.

Magneto has posed:
    Erik lifts his hand to Lorna's shoulder and pats her once, awkwardly bringing her closer. "Do you need me to go find him, or do you want to put him behind you and move on to better, more important things?"

Polaris has posed:
"I don't know. I don't...I feel empty. I think I just...I need to recover before I do anything, there's still a government to run after all." Lorna tells her father and looks into his eyes. She draws a breath. "Thank you. For coming to check on me."

Magneto has posed:
    "No, there's a bed waiting for you. The goverment will be fine without it's princess for a few more days. That's an order Lorna." Erik says with that powerful stoicness that he mastered many years before her birth, and has only continued to hone since then. "Understand?"

Polaris has posed:
Nodding slowly Lorna doesn't have it in her to argue. She gives her father's arm a squeeze and leaves him by the water. The princess goes back to her bed and hides from the world just a little longer.
