---

Polaris has posed:
Magneto has not only returned to the island, but he returned to rule it. Passing those responsibilities back, Polaris has resumed teaching at the Xavier Institute during the week with weekend flights home to help on projects there. It's a busy, but distracting schedule.
     Taking some time off her head dive into working two jobs, Lorna is seated at the bar in Harry's, dressed casually and working on a beer with regular looks to the door.

Scarlet Witch has posed:
As often happens to Wanda, she's not made a conscious decision to be here. She merely set out walking and found herself pushing open a door only to find she's arrived where she may very well be expected. And if not expected, at least welcomed.

It's clear Wanda wasn't expecting to end up here, just as it's also clear as her eyes light upon Lorna that she's glad she has. And that she can imagine how it is that she's found herself here by happenstance and chance.

With a smile settling upon her lips, and a lightness of step, Wanda approaches her sister and murmurs greetings. "I did not think to find you so close by, and yet, here you are. Is there time for me to join you, and perhaps that we might speak?"

So many things have happened since last the two met. Too many things, even.

Polaris has posed:
"Please. Want to grab a booth?" Lorna asks, grinning back at her sister. "I was hoping for some company, so this works out perfectly for me." She adds and starts to slide off her seat. "What are you having? We can order and go sit somewhere better suited to chatting." She offers in an easy tone.

Scarlet Witch has posed:
Wanda's nose crinkles in consideration. Alcohol came in so many flavours and obligations. She was never sure which to choose when out and about. More to the point, she wasn't really sure just what it was that Wanda would choose. Too often finding herself caught between the facets of her being.

But Lorna has a beer, and that makes an easy decision. Her smile is shone upon the bartender. "I'll have what she's having." Even as her gaze slips over the place, spying a free booth. "It would be best to take a place we might speak quietly."

She doesn't quite say 'in private' but the implication is heavily there. And the gods knew the two should likely not air all their family's dirty laundry in public. So, booth it was.

Polaris has posed:
Getting a pair of fresh bottles, Lorna winks at Harry before steering Wanda to a booth. She sits and sets the bottles down. "Ok. A nice quiet booth it is." She settles in on one side and studies Wanda, lips quirking to one side as she looks her sister over. "So. What's up sister dear? You feeling ok?" She asks quietly.

Scarlet Witch has posed:
Wanda takes her drink once they've sat and schools her face to one that she hopes shows less of the actual confusion she's feeling over.. well, everything these days. She can't seem to pin it all down to one specific thing. She knows of several, but each alone should not be leavinng her in this state. Together, though, they seem bigger than she is.

"I am well," she lies.

Polaris has posed:
"Mhmm. A functional miracle, must be easy living as an avenger." Lorna teases and drinks her beer. She's tired, but she doesn't bother hiding it either, her work load is deliberately punishing. She nudges Wanda's foot under the table. "Still no word from my husband. I'll go first." she offers. "I have no idea where to start looking for him either. I almost don't feel like bothering at this point."

Scarlet Witch has posed:
Wanda looks caught between concern and a sudden girlish desire to meet confession with confession. Where her foot is nudged, hers brushes back, much in the manner of a carress, or a hug. Comforting in its presence.

"If you wish, I will help you to look. There are ways we can find him. But it is no good if you do not wish to find him." She pauses before adding, "Or if he does not wish to be found."

It's clear she doesn't like being the messenger for that.

She brightens, then, and allows the girlish to win for a moment - if only to brush away the dark of the other. "I did get kissed." Her lips bow over a moment of consideration. How much to tell. How must to keep. In the end she leaves it.

Polaris has posed:
"Did you want to be kissed?" Lorna wonders and arches a brow. The offer is mulled over for the time being, thoughtful even as she tries to coax worries from Wanda. "Kissing can be very nice. I hope you found it a pleasant experience." She murmurs and leans on the table with an idle look out at the bar.

Scarlet Witch has posed:
The offer isn't pushed. Like so many things about her, it is what it is. Left out there for others to pick up and make use of or not. She is merely a catalyst.

"I do not know," Wanda answers truthfully of the kiss. "It was a surprise. I did decide not to be angry, though. It was.. not unpleasant." Which, for Wanda, could mean so very many things. Her moment of thoughtful seriousness fades into a small, self-efacing laugh as she drops her gaze to her bottle of beer. "It would have been not so good to be angry there. Plus, he did look so worried that I would smite him."

She shakes her head. "Is it bad of me that I wish to laugh, remembering?"

Polaris has posed:
"I think if it makes you laugh it probably wasn't so bad...or it was a terrible kiss. Hard to say." Lorna smiles a bit. "Well, first kiss. Look at you. Are you interested in this kisser-romantically, I mean?" She asks and eyes her new bottle. She might need more if she's going to talk Wanda through dating.

Scarlet Witch has posed:
Always with the serious, she is. As though such things needed to be weighed from all sides like they were reality changing.

"Oh, I did laugh because he looked so afraid. I did not think a god could look afraid of someone. But he was."

Which only partially answers the questions set to her.

"I do not know," she admits, finally. "It made me think how would it be to kiss someone else. And there was.. how do you say it? I felt so much like everyone could see me."

It's clear she's missed a whole swath of vernacular about this matter.

"I did not not like it?"

Polaris has posed:
"Wait, a god kissed you?" Lorna asks and arches her brows. "It wasn't Thor, was it?" She asks and sits a little straighter. Polaris clearly was not expecting that to come out of Wanda's mouth, the conversation suddenly diverting to who kissed Wanda.

Scarlet Witch has posed:
Wanda nods, still with the serious face. "It was. But I do not know. I think it was okay. But is that how it is? You kiss and wonder if it would be the same with someone else?"

One might almost find it amusing how clinical bits of this are, if it weren't for the fact that beneath it all the young woman is truly perplexed by this happening, and what it means (if anything) with regards to others.

Kissing, and all other such notions, were things that happened to other people. In other places. At other times. It was almost as if Wanda viewed this portion of life - like so many others - as though she were outside a home looking in the windows, trying to understand what was going on, seeing, but not being able to hear. Only catching half the meaning.

Polaris has posed:
"It's different, always. Even with the same person." Lorna says and makes a sour face. "That mother fucker. He was in here not...two nights ago maybe flirting. I'm going to pummel him into the moon." She grouches and takes a deeper drink of her beer. "You know what Wanda? Fuck men. They're only after their own satisfaction. Don't let them get your heart on the line. You use them and lose them, sister." She scowls at the bar. "Stupid blonde-I don't even care if he's a god, he's toast."

Scarlet Witch has posed:
Wanda crinkles her nose, the gesture making her look terribly young, and oh so innocent - but it's a gesture that only lasts a moment. "I think I wished it was someone else.."

Which was both true and not true. She /did/ wish it had been someone else, but the only reason she had wished it so was because Thor had not kissed her so many days ago. It was complicated. And as far as things went, she was flirting dangerously close to using him as a substitute to find out about such matters without engaging on any distinct level.

"He is a what?" Wanda's nose uncrinkles, and she sits up. It's not like she hasn't heard such words and phrases. She was acquainted with them. She merely had not expected such a vehement reaction from her sister over the matter.

"Oh." Her mouth settles over that small word in a very small gesture. "That is how he is, though, yes? He does like to be so many things light and without meaning. It is like he is afraid if he is else that he will become. I do not think he knows how to be real."

Polaris has posed:
"Oh, I'm sorry. No. I'm glad you had a kiss and you liked it. I don't imagine he knows we're sisters. That's what I'm irritated about." Lorna tells Wanda and exhales slowly. She rolls her shoulders and toys with her beer. "It's good you don't expect anything serious from him." She adds and looks at Wanda apologetically.

Scarlet Witch has posed:
It's with all seriousness that Wanda offers, "I could smite him for you." Of course a thought makes her grin, giving what can only be a giggle. "I would tell him you are my sister, first. So he knew why. It would only be fair, yes?"

Her beer is drawn closer to herself, and paused over before taking a sip. "You do not have to say that you are sorry. Only, are you angry because he kissed you, or because he kissed me?" She's not really sure which, or quite sure if it matters which. "It would be easy to let him do things. If only because they would not matter, you know? It would always be pretend. Like playing house with your dolls. It is only ever you who is making them cry, and the diapers are always dry. We never believe those things, even as children we knew it was make-believe."

Magneto has posed:
     Out from the backroom walks a figure dressed in a highly professional royal purple suit and tie with red accents dotted across its surface. His centurion helmet does throw off the ensamble slightly, coming off as a bit strange as he makes his way up to the bar speaking. "And yet even knowing how fake it all was you still played along the best you could." As he takes a seat at the bar, a drink is sat in front of him without his having to place the order. "Funny how the reality of a situation matters so little when it comes down to the details of a situation."

     He takes the drink and nurses it for a moment. "Almost as if the fantasy is worth it even at the expense of a reality you know to be of much more importance." A light smile crossing his face as he enters the conversation butting in like he'd been there the whole time.

Polaris has posed:
Polaris looks up and sighs before looking back at Wanda. "I'm mad because he made a pass at the both of us. It's not exactly the worlds best kept secret that we're family. I still have a strong urge to hit him." She notes and looks over at Magneto. "It's not even the weekend yet. What brings you to Harry's, Papa? Come to play chess with Charles?" She wonders and drains her beer.

Scarlet Witch has posed:
Wanda nods at Lorna. "I know. And he would say that he truly cares. I think in the moment he believes that he does. For each of us." She sips her beer again, peering at the bottle. "I would still smite him for you, if you wish. Only, if you do like him, it would perhaps not be so wise?"

If she was going to say more, the moment is lost with the arrival of Magneto. "Papa!"

Unlike Lorna, Wanda looks ever so slightly like she's been caught with her hand in the proverbial cookie jar.

Polaris has posed:
"You're welcome to slap him too-I surely mean to." Lorna says of Thor and slides a little closer to her sister to murmur secrets in the way girls do. "What do you suppose he's here for?" She whispers to the other woman. "And who did you wish it were, if not Thor, God of Bro-ing it up?"

Scarlet Witch has posed:
Wanda looks thoughtful. "He said he comes because he misses us. That he feels connected to humans. Only he did not explain so much the why." The thoughtful look dissapates, or at least that thoughtful look does. Another soon finds its way upon her features. "I think if I were to slap him I should have already. But I did already tell him I do not wish more than kisses. More seems like so much confusion. I do not know."

And, of course she does not know. If she did, she wouldn't be so very confused about these other distractions in her life.

"It is silly. You must think me so strange that I do not know these things so well, and you to have a husband and.." She catches herself before she says more, finishing only with, "And so many other things I do not."

Her fingers pick at the beer bottle label again, meticulously pulling it from the bottle in a single piece. "They are so different. How do you know? Or is it you do not know, and you only guess?"

So totally not an answer as to who, but most definitely marrowing it down to the matter that there is more than one person involved.

Polaris has posed:
"All you can really do in matters of the heart is take a risk and hope for the best. I am famously a bad example, men just seem to vanish on me." Lorna looks at Wanda with a crooked smile. "But, I would say-get to know them first. Kurt and I had been friends and co-workers for so long, falling in love felt very natural and perhaps if I'd have stayed here we would have stayed together. I'd add discussing where you're going in life to that. Be friends and make sure you both want the same thing. He couldn't stay with me when I chose family and flew home."

Scarlet Witch has posed:
"I would not even know how to start," Wanda protests softly. The price for removing yourself from such things is.. you remove yourself from such things. For all that she is, for all that she considers herself merely human, she's not allowed herself to be that in so many ways, and this was one of them.

"We are learning to be friends," she says finally. Quietly. The label from the beer bottle coming off fully now, and curling in upon itself as she lays it on the table between them, picking up her bottle and drinking from it.

"Is it always so hard, then? Do we all just stumble together?"

Polaris has posed:
"A lot of the time. If there's a way to make things go smoother or simpler I haven't found it yet." Lorna sighs and rests her chin on her hands as she studies the curl of paper. "I seem to attract complicated like a moth to a flame."

Scarlet Witch has posed:
That gets a nod and a soft smile from the young woman. "I feel all the complicated. Like it would be easy to learn all the things from someone who did not care, yes? Or at least told himself he did while it happened."

Her nose crinkles at the thought. "It is silly, no? He would do it, so why should I not?"

The words bring a sigh to her lips, though.

"Sometimes I think it would be best if I did forget that I could feel these things. To only be.." Only she has no actual words or expression for what it is she would be. "I wish I could make it better for you. I think, though, that I am already making so much mistakes with myself. And I do not know if he likes me."

Which is both truth and lie. But as is with so many matters of the heart, it is how the story goes.

Polaris has posed:
"No. Romance, love, that connection with someone else, it's...needed. It makes the bad days a little easier to bear, and having all those firsts, it's better if it's with someone who will treat them like they're special too. To share that memory with someone else. If it's just sex or just kissing, it's hollow, empty and meaningless, sometimes that makes it worse the next morning." Lorna leans back and lets out a breath.

Scarlet Witch has posed:
There's a soft and sudden 'ah' of understanding from Wanda. "I see. And you do miss him. Because he was that for you." She nods, as much to herself as for her sister. "And that is why you do wish to be friends first. Because the other things are not the important. Yes?"

Polaris has posed:
"More so I think because when you are not, that...bond is a little more empty. I dated this human for a while. We met on the road. I was flying and got rained out so I'd landed and meant to walk home. To make a long story short, we dated briefly, but we didn't know each other well first, so I wasn't sorry that it'd ended." Lorna tells her sister and shakes her head. "I miss Kurt because I loved him with all my heart. I had this pretty future painted and I thought he was on board with it, but he abandoned me and never looked back...I should hate him, but mostly I'm just sad."

Scarlet Witch has posed:
Wanda reaches across the table and offers her hand in consolation to Lorna, fingers ready to hold and squeeze her sister's in comfort.

"You are sad because it would make you smaller to hate him. You did love him well. So it was still worthy, yes? Only maybe there is that, too. That to love is not to paint a picture where we are happy because of them, only that we are happy with them too."

Her smile is gentle.

"You are still worthy to be loved, yes? It is how you said, to be friends. Or how without the bond it is hollow. First you will love you, and then you will love someone. Maybe even Kurt again."

She gives a soft laugh at herself. "Listen to me. Speaking like I know. Only I feel it. Here." She taps her own chest above her breastbone.

Polaris has posed:
Lorna shakes her head. "I don't think I could bear letting Kurt back into my bed if he tried to reconcile things. I'd be wretched, sobby mess. We tried, but we want different lives. We can still hold onto our friendship perhaps, but I think the romance is well and truly over." She sighs and squeezes Wanda's hand. "You can watch me make a greek tragedy of my love life and just avoid doing what I do." She suggests to Wanda and flags down a server for another beer for herself and another for Wanda.

Scarlet Witch has posed:
Wanda is all grins at a second beer being ordered. Her first is not quite done, but now she must finish it, her free hand tipping the bottle up to her lips that she might down the last remaining swallows.

"Oh, I think I make my own mistakes already. I do not know how to be when I am maybe interested. And you, you had love. That can't be bad? Even if you could not make it work. You loved a Kurt that he was not. it does not make your love less, it only means that now you are free to find other love, yes? And maybe had the same picture together."

Her fingers squeeze back, lingering in Lorna's. Then she giggles. "A girl did call me sexy. That is okay, yes? Or do I worry?"

Polaris has posed:
"It's fine. It's not always an advance if one girl admires another. Even if it is, you might like girls." Lorna shakes her head a bit and considers Wanda's words. "I loved a different picture of Kurt. I can cope with that." She nods and starts on her newest beer. "All the same, I don't think I'll rush to find love. All the better to keep an eye on you while you figure out love and lust."

Scarlet Witch has posed:
Wanda's cheeks flare a pretty scarlet. "Lust?" Oh, it's clear she knows and understands that word. She probably understands more than she allows herself to acknowledge. Which is also part of her charm. How she flounders through life trying to capture moments that reflect the reality around her. Adding, "I do not know that I like girls that way."

Still, it was flattering. And she didn't say she didn't.

Polaris has posed:
"I'm sure you'll figure out one way or the other in time." Lorna offers and toys with one of her empty bottles. "This is good. Just hanging out like sisters do, no threats of war, or you know, guns bearing down on us. No worlds to save. It's almost normal." She shakes her head, smiling a bit and sitting back, one arm resting on the back of the booth.

Scarlet Witch has posed:
"Amost," Wanda concedes. "But there is still Papa." Which only leaves the woman to sigh and reach for her second bottle. It's an all too human, all to normal gesture. "We should do this again, yes? Maybe less of the running away for both of us. More of the being sisters."

She smiles back, relaxing fractionally.

"I have been worried about Papa. And afraid to visit. I do not know what to do if he has not changed."

Polaris has posed:
"I wouldn't have left Genosha in his hands if I didn't have faith that he meant to take responsibility for his actions. Mr. Luthor has offered him a very generous deal that would look good for us to take in light of things and it would establish our economy, get us self sufficient. I'm really very hopeful." Lorna confides and lifts a shoulder. "I think you should give him a shot, spend some time with him." She murmurs and nods. "We can certainly spend more time together now that I'm stateside most of the week again." She notes cheerfully.

Scarlet Witch has posed:
Wanda exhales a carefully held breath, nodding, looking hopeful. "I do love him. So very miuch. Only the things he does.. I worry. But I will try. I will give him a chance."

The other has her smiling fully again.

"I would like that. I am sometimes at the mansion, and sometimes at my house." House, not home. A very distinct difference. "I would like that, to spend more time with you."

Polaris has posed:
"I'm living at the school, I'm sure they'd love having an avenger stop by. You'll have to say hi to Rogue for me if you see her about. I used to mentor her-before she graduated." Lorna's head shakes and she chuckles a bit. "That's exactly how I feel about dad. I love him, but sometimes his actions are just too extreme." She sighs and slumps in the booth. "We'll just have to keep an eye on him and hope we can avoid another debacle that lands him in prison."

Scarlet Witch has posed:
Wanda's features set in a resolute line.

"If he does, I will put him somewhere. We will make him not be that way."

Not that she has any clue /how/ she'll stop him from being that way given she's taken away her best option - removing his powers.

The other, the school, has a smile upon her lips. "I have a friend there. He is very nice. I think it would be good to come visit and see you both."

Polaris has posed:
"Uuuh, lets not go that far. I think we could start with have a family meeting and go from there." Lorna waves her hands hastily. Slowly, the green haired woman leans over and slides Wanda's second bottle towards herself. "Who is your friend at the school? I didn't realize you knew many of the instructors." She asks and drinks Wanda's beer, her own is mostly empty.

Scarlet Witch has posed:
Wanda gives a half smirk. "First a family meeting. But he lies, you know. Very much." She says this and shakes her head, as though being fully aware of the matter doesn't change the fact that in some ways she's almost proud of the fact. Or mystified by it. Or something. It's a complicated relationship she has with him, and not one that she fully understands, much as she tries to.

As Lorna steals her beer, there is a light, and laughing protest. "I was going to drink that. You could have asked first, no?" Though she makes no moves to take the thing back. She really has no need to have the beer. The company is really the part of this visit that is necessary. Drinks she could have anywhere or anytime at a whim.

"Oh, I do not think he is an instructor. He is a student maybe? He is like a tree. Thistlewalker. He was kind to me one evening after I helped release Papa. He let me walk with him and we did talk. In the greenhouse. He is.." She smiles, and shrugs, not finishing the sentence.

Polaris has posed:
"Oh, he's...a complicated fellow." Lorna finishes and shakes her head. She drinks Wanda's beer and winks. "I'm helping." She offers and takes a cursory scan of the bar, content things are safe enough. "You're not much of a drinker. That's good. You're too sweet for the world Wanda, I hope it stays that way. Don't be jaded like me." She laughs. "Jaded, that's good cause-" she brushes her fingers through a green lock.

Magneto has posed:
     Magnus had been silent for so long, focusing instead on his drinking and keeping off to his own world one could have easily forgotten he was there all together. That is until bottle floats its way over refilling the two's glasses, the metal lid used as a sort of coaster to float it over then bent in such a way using his mastery of magnetism into a sort of hand as to allow him to pour it for them with his mind. After that he simply floats it back over behind the bar-top and seals the bottle as if nothing had happened.

     "Now I may simply be an old busy body, but If you ask me I'd go with my heart on such matters." He pauses for a long moment before floating himself over a refill of his own. The bartender pauses mid motion leaning his hand against the bar and giving the man a look of disapproval . He's far to afraid of the man to actually voice his disapproval, but not nearly afraid enough to hold himself back from making his displeasure clear on his face. "Oh quiet down you, you're still getting a five hundred dollar tip." Spoken in a somewhat backhanded way as he just continues to nurse his drink the bottle flying back to the shelf. "After all I've found some of the best moments in my life by simply following where my heart takes me." Said to the girls with a bit of a smile.

Scarlet Witch has posed:

Wanda blushes. Again. She had forgotten her father was here. And listening. To her and Lorna talking about, of all things, Wanda's blossoming love life - such as it was. Is? Something like. "I do like him," Wanda says meekly, unable to not give voice to that.

Her father gets one of those nearly aghast looks that turns itself into something more helpless. "I will need this drink," she murmurs, in a sudden and very un-Wanda fashion. "My heart says many things, Papa. I do not know. Sometimes it is that I listen, or think I listen, and things do not go so well. How can I trust when it comes to something like to love someone?"

The word 'love' falters on her lips, and the pink in her cheeks remains.

"He is not the only one, though. Only.. It is complicated. And oh!" A sudden thought bursts forth into her memory. "Papa! Did you know my mother is leaving messages for me?"

Polaris has posed:
"Messages? And more than one, huh. Pick your favorite and go from there. If there's one thing I've learned it's that love doesn't last. You can get around to the others in time." Lorna suggests and looks from Wanda to Magneto. "That's why we have different mothers after all." She teases and gets the drink poured for her. "I think Pops and I could write the book moving on."

Magneto has posed:
     "I must admit I'm with Lorna on this one." Magnus concurs as he sips away at his drink passing the time by fiddling around with the metal in the bar to make ornate designs. Which isn't exactly endearing him to the barkeep but the patrons are getting quite the laugh out of it. He pauses for a long moment at the mention of Wanda's mother. "I see..." He trails off fading into his own thoughts for a long moment. "Well you can pass along my warmed regards to her."

Scarlet Witch has posed:
Wanda looks between the two, "I am confused. First I should be with someone I can have a connection with. But I am also to be with more than one person because I can?"

She reaches, absently, for the drink her father provided, as much for something to distract herself as to have a drink.

Adding in quiet tones, "She is not talking to me herself. She is sending messages. There was a spirit she trapped. It was not happy with her. It said to expect more." Her cheeks pinken as her gaze drops to her drink. *Now* she wants a swallow of the thing. "She thinks I am being all the ridiculous. I think she does agree with you both. Only on more things than to be with someone."

Polaris has posed:
"Oh, I mean, not all at once. But- you know. You can date this or that person for a while and when that ends you can call up this or that guy. " Lorna props her chin in her hands. "I'll likely do that, when I'm ready to move on and get the divorce finalized." She notes and looks over to one of the tables in the bar. "Damn. I didn't think I'd be so quickly married and divorced."

Magneto has posed:
     "What you need is a stable of men you can rotate out as you see fit." Magneto says speaking over his glass as he takes a deep sip. "You don't want to wind up stuck in a bad relationship but you want to feel a genuine connection so you keep a stock of men, and maybe a few women, you can switch between depending on what you need at a given time." He shrugs his shoulders before looking down at his drinking glass, swirling the contents. "It's sort of like Lorna just said."

     Then he takes a long pause of thought for what Wanda had just said. "I see...." He finally adds trailing off yet again a single hand lifted up to his chin to est there for a few long moments.

Scarlet Witch has posed:
Wanda's eyes widen. "A whole stable? You mean like a harem?" She's caught between aghast horror and amusement. It's terribly clear in the glimmer in the green of her eyes that on some level she is absolutely considering what a harem of lovers might look like, and not immediately squashing the idea down in a blanket of innocence and wide-eyed dewey protest.

Polaris has posed:
"That's...no. That is an awful idea. That goes no where good." Lorna shakes her head and looks at Wanda. "No harems, that's dangerous for all of us." She looks at Magneto. "All of us. You want a harem hanging around at home?" She wonders and shakes her head. Downing her glass she sets it infront of Magneto. "More. You two will be the death of me." She offers affectionately.

Scarlet Witch has posed:
Wanda tries to look innocent. And for the moment that devilish glimmer is still winning. "I could move to a large house. The palace in Genosha is big, yes? There are empty rooms there."

Her lips purse over a mirth that shows that she is relenting on this and returning to her much more normal self. The self who would find this idea not a thing to joke about, but one to blush over and protest. The one who makes her life much simpler by negating any options that might lead to more difficult choices and ethical delimnas.

Magneto has posed:
     "Of course I wouldn't mind." He takes a sip of his glass. "Anything to have some grandchildren running around." A quick pause is had before he adds. "I'm not getting any younger you know." Then another pause for thought. "Then again neither am I getting any older so I suppose all the time in the world and all that." Spoken into his glass as he takes a deep sip of the contents. "You're always welcome to store you harem in the palace, just remember when you wipe their memories entirely of their past life to leave the ones about potty training."

Polaris has posed:
"You nearly did." Lorna says softly and sets her glass down. She lets out a shuddering breath and folds her hands in her lap. "At any rate, I should get back to the school. I have classes in the morning."

Scarlet Witch has posed:
There's a slight protest from Wanda, who, while she can't say she has maternal longings towards her get, has produced (quite literally) two grandchildren for the man.

"You say that like you forget. Do mine not count?"

All the mirth of her is gone, leaving behind a struggle between petulance and calm, and something more beneath that.

Though with Lorna leaving she, too, considers that perhaps this conversation has ended.
