Erddrache has posed:
Prior to, today, after a rather harrowing run in with some gang folks intent on tearing into Boris - he had come out to find out about a school for mutants thanks to one Gambit. A few days later...and here Boris was. Well Boris and his father.
    Boris and his father walked up to the door - the larger of the two wearing an a suit and caot for the weather, and Boris himself...dresse in layers of clothes as if to hide. Of course, the ground was shaking all around him, as if in tune with his nervousness
    But his father, evidently used to this simply raises one massive mitt and knocks three times sharply on the door. He glances around at the large expansive of the school, taking it in, perhaps with his own sense of doubt before looking to the door to see who would answer.

Phoenix has posed:
It takes less than a second, seemingly, for the door to open, revealing a glimpse into an impressive luxurious mansion. The vibe one would most likely get is that of a high end prep school. It is rather exclusive after all, explicitly stated on the sign before the courtyard "for Gifted Youngsters." No questions asked on why not just anyone can be admitted.

Across from the door, stands Jean Grey, dressed in a green dress, cinched with a golden belt. "Welcome to Xavier's School for The Gifted," she greets without even asking for introductions first, "I am Jean Grey, the vice principal, is there anything I can offer you assistance with?"

Erddrache has posed:
The large man, looks down at Boris and says in German "<<Calm down Little Earth Dragon>>" which is likely caught as Jean opens the door. The man looks to Jean and puts forth a hand as he than speaks in english "Hello Ms. Vice Pricipal Grey, Ah am Victor Breithbarth, and vis iz mah son Boris Breithbarth." he says "We are here since....friend pointed us here. Vis is place fer folks kin git help manging vere....condition, aye?"
    Boris did calm down a bit, but the ground continued to tremple and shake with him at the epicenter "A fellar by the name of Remy, gave us vee name of vis place" says Boris with a voice even deeper than the other mans "Actually he be sayin ta zeek oot A Ms.Grey. Guessin yer her unless vere are othar Greyz here" he says shyly

Phoenix has posed:
"You can call me Jean, no need for formalities between friends, right...?" Were they friends? Regardless, Jean seems rather approachable, having spoken the words herself, "if by 'condition' you mean the tremors we felt just now, then us, we certainly can help...though we would rather refer to it as 'gifts', hence, gifted," Jean winks at Victor playfully before looking at Boris with a radiant smile, "so...you've met Remy LeBeau...did you check your pockets after?" Jean asks, a rather unseemly question, but also meant to distract Boris in case it may soften the tremors. "One can never have enough Greys, but I am most certainly a Ms. Grey, and I can help, so, regardless of who he meant...let's just say I am her. Please, come on, would you like refreshments?" She offers cordially while leading the two towards a comfy looking couch by a nice coffee table.

Erddrache has posed:
Victor lets out a gentle grunt - almost dissapproving even. The man was old, and a fairly traditional german. Being informal with somehow he hardly knows, let alone a principle, is odd to him. "Ahem. Aye the tremors. He has his good days, und his bad. Vough he does hauf other....concerning traits. Ah vill be honest...ah nevar expected ta be raisin a mutant son" he sound unease about it - perhaps mutants in general make him uneased, or there was more to this
    "O' couse. efter seein him stahp a cars alarm, ah checked all mah pockets ta be makin sure nothin misin" he jokes back, the tremors lighten, as he gets comfortable somewhat.
    As they walk towards the coffee table Victor says "Ah vould like some coffe, if vat iz nit too much ta ask." And Boris says "Jist some beer.." a slightly peer from dad "....make that jist some water vill do please" a nod is given, though both seem quite content to stand at the moment

Phoenix has posed:
"One coffee, and one water, coming right up," Jean says with a smile, before sending a telepathic message to Daken, <<Daken...we have a potential new student visiting with his father, would you please come to the foyer with a cup of coffee and a glass of water...? I'd love to see you interact with them...>> there was after all the matter of Daken coming to the X-Men to develop himself, and unsurprisingly, his issues weren't very far from his dad's own.

Levelling her gaze with Victor on a more serious notes, shades of the formality he was missing, Jean stresses out, "Mr. Breitbart, I will have to ask outright, have you issues with mutants in general? Your son being one in particular? Or is this part of coping with a recent change? We're very serious about mutants not being the monsters they are made out to be, and it starts at home...you shouldn't speak in such a manner of your son."

She then looks at Boris as if she felt or heard nothing thus far, "so, Boris, how would you describe your gift to me?"

Kaydin LeGraize has posed:
    A blur of lightning and motion blasts through the foyer. It runs up the stairs, comes back down, leaves, comes back and up the stairs again before coming back down and stopping by them, stopping long enough to be seen. "Miss Grey, always good to see you. You showing them the place?" He asks curiously.

Daken has posed:
Daken was in the kitchen already, pouring himself a nice glass of Brandy, before he turns his head at the sound of Jean's voice in his head. He has barriers set up to prevent people reading his mind, sure, but he's made countermeasures to allow certain individuals to read his thoughts and perform telepathy. Jean being one of them. <<Yeah...I got it.>> he replies to her in his warm and sincere voice. Either way, he takes the glass of water that -was- gonna be his and he sets it on the counter, taking the time to cook up some coffee for the other guest.

It doesn't take him long to walk up those stairs and into Jean's office, offering a kind smile for her. "Ask and you will receive." is all he says then, setting a glass of water and a cup of coffee on the table for whichever each one was for, that being, for Boris and his father.

THat said, he wears simple clothes. A red shirt, black jeans, and combat boots. He sits against the wall then, just to add another voice when Speedy Gonzalez rushes in like a bat out of hell. "Calm down speedy, she's in a meeting." he tells Kaydin then.

Erddrache has posed:
Victor, is a blunt man if nothing else....and a very honest one. "....yes, yes...and yes again" yes to all three questions. Boris kind of looks downcast at that. None the less Victor goes on "Perhaps it is ingorance, we come from small town...and..." he doesn't look to Boris as if knowing what he says was hurtful "...ah hauf been tryin ta work past these...preconception since his change" he takes out a wallet - inside can be seen a current picture of Boris - but he takes out another picture showing him with a teenager nearly his height, a normal human for all intents and purposes "And...well...this how Boris was a year ago. Since...change, we hauf had ta move several times" not all places were so accepting of mutants, and that not even counting the fact his wife, Boris mother, left as well. But he refused to abandon Boris "Bit....sie are rioght Ms.Grey...ah should nit speak in such ways"

By that point Kaydin had speeded in. Boris jumped startled at the extream speed! The tremors kicked up several noches - but the sensation was different, it was nervousness , but curisoity in this case. He looks to Jean "Ermmm...Pa described it best - Eddrache...earth dragon. AH....ermm, git spikes und stuff, kin move vee earth...swim through et really" he tells Jean.
    As Daken comes in - Boris seemed comfortable enough to remove his layers of clothes, revealing the fin like bone spikes that on his back, up through a tail. He also had two such spikes on his forarms that look fairly sharp, and even a few prenshil wiskers. Boris carefully takes the water and drinks deeply before waving to Kaydin and Daken "....ermm, Helloz" he says shyly
    Victor himself takes the coffee and nods to Daken "Vank sie Sir" before looking to Kaydin "Und...hello, other Sir" he wasn't sure what to say to them, or how to feel about this place. But perhaps it will be good for his son.

Phoenix has posed:
"Indeed Kaydin...," Jean murmurs, "they are guests of ours, and Boris may even become a student, if he so wishes and his father allows it." But she does add telepathically to the fast student <<keep in mind we are meant to be a secret, I'd appreciate if you could be sure we don't have guests before you flaunt your powers. No harm, no foul, as Boris is a mutant...but you never know.>> The smile remains on her face, and she turns to look at Daken when he arrives, and she gestures towards him, "this is Daken, one of our advisors," he's no student, and it's probably too early to entrust him with a teaching position, but advise? Oh, Jean bets he can offer some very unique advise, which would likely be more helpful than that of a less experienced wouldbe mentor.

Jean actually laughs at Victor's honesty, "I'm sorry to disappoint you, Victor," there goes formality out the window again, "by coming here with Boris you prove yourself wrong. If you hated him for being a mutant, you wouldn't look to help him, wouldn't look to secure his future...parents of that nature usually abuse or even banish their children to a life of homelessness. I am very pleased to hear you would call yourself a mutant hater, and yet here you are, looking after your mutant son. It is a sign that there is hope for a better future yet!"

Focusing once more on Boris, Jean asks curiously, "why do you choose the word dragon?" As Boris' tremors start up again, he'll feel a caressing hand easing on him, even though no one is touching him, and suddenly there's something guiding him, sort of like a visual tutorial in thoughts to stem down the tremors. Jean winks at him if he looks her way, but says nothing more of the tremors for now.

Erddrache has posed:
Victor looks to Boris and says uncertainly in german "<<I am not sure if I am speaking english correctly.>>" before looking to Jean "...Ermm, Ms. Vice Principal Grey... I am afraid I do not understand....vehn...did sie ask me if Ah hated my son?" he asks, judging by the look on his face, he couldn't even fathom that "Ah admit....mutants did...and still kind of do make me uncomfortable. Bit hate iz a very....very powerful word." clearly he wasn't even sure if he was using hate correctly now
    Boris takes a deep sigh of relief, as he felt the guiding hand. The tremors lesson and lesson untill it was the gentleless of rumbles. It can't quite turn off - but it could at least be managed. Boris seems confused at this, as he looks to Jean, but says nothing of it. Better than breaking everything "Well vat iz whit Eddrache means - earth dragon. Tis a nickname Pa gave me a few weeks efter...mah changes. Und whit wif the vee tail und spikes, kind of match. Definintly bettar ven Buulete...err vat a creature from Dnd - callt a land shark as well" he tells Jean

Daken has posed:
Daken doesn't comment on mutant hating or any of that nonsense. He never did like getting into those conversations because well.....he has his fathers temper. and that's enough said on that matter. He gives a small nod to Jean though after she coments that he's an advisor. Besides, He's perfectly content with sitting back and watching the show unfold. His eyes looking to Jean but they stay plastered on 'Victor'.

That said, he sighs a moment, watching onward as he keeps his words to himself. "Yep, nice to meet ya."

Kaydin LeGraize has posed:
    Kaydin watches the goings on. He blurs out and now seems to hold a bottle of soda in his hand as he sips from it. He remains silent for the most part and watches the people talk, looking between each person as they talk. He takes another sip and enjoys the taste of the soda in his mouth.

Phoenix has posed:
Jean patiently waits for Victor to discuss something with Boris, before noting, "no, you clearly do not hate your son, and I appreciate that. Even if it's hard for you to accept. After all, when all is said and done, family is all we have."

She nods at Boris' explanation and doesn't question it any further, but all of a sudden she turns to Daken, "anything you'd like to tell Victor or Boris about the school...? Perhaps a reason why Boris should consider enrolling and staying with us?"

Erddrache has posed:
Victor nods to Jean in quiet approval, before looking to Daken, seeing as Kaydin was content to be queit. Though he did double take at the soda and syas quietly to him "Kin Boris hauf that after." Boris himself now looks to Daken quite curiously. The man certianly didn't say much, but certainly seemed friendly enough, though it looks like Boris may have already been excited to come here.

Daken has posed:
Daken keeps quiet then for a moment as he listens, the words of Jean Grey getting his attention as she looks to him, asking for his opinion. "Oh, of course..." he looks to Victor then and he opens his mouth to speak. "If you want to be somewhere without any hint of prejudice, where someone looks at you and isn't repulsed, this is a good place. If your family hates you." he looks at Victor then, before looking to Boris "You're welcome here. Here you'll be able to better understand your powers...you won't be a freak or just another body here." he walks up and puts a hand on Boris's shoulder. "Want a place to belong? Look no further." and he steps back, taking his place back against the wall.

A nod to Jean then like he said his piece. His arms crossing over his chest as his eyes fall back to Victor and Boris.

Kaydin LeGraize has posed:
    Kaydin sips his soda and nods to Victor. "Sure." Kaydin says as he offers the bottle and soda to the man to give to the dwarf. He watches to see what they will do with it and something buzzes in his pocket. He pulls out his phone and checks it. "He is right, this place is very welcoming to folks. They can also help you train with your gifts so you can control them."

Phoenix has posed:
Jean listens quietly, allowing Daken to finish his say, before adding, "if you want to be a better you, I would say this is a place to leave the comfort of the known, venture into the unkown, and learn just who you could be." She smiles as Kaydin shows no qualms in sharing his soda, a friendly gesture was always appreciated.

Erddrache has posed:
Boris....dumps the soda into the glass and procedes to eat the soda can saying "Vanks, ah was hopin fer a snack" which Victor says "...rioght, vat is vee other thing. Bit of an odd diet" he says with a light chuckles "WHit do sie say Boris? Ah vill let et be up to sie...bit ah vink sie will be happy here. Ah kin come visit sie...ah hope, jist as sie kin come visit me"
    After a few moments considering Daken words and looks to his father and than Kean, and finally Kaydin. Boris..finally nods "...ah, ah will enroll here." he finally says, and as he smiles, in happiness and excitment, his beard bristles becomming a bit larger. Seems the dwarf was here to stay

Daken has posed:
Daken smiles softly then to Jean as she adds on before his attention falls on Boris, nodding his head as if approving of the young mutant. Though he does look to Victor then. "Of course. This ain't a prison, he can come and go as he chooses. and if you want to, we do have visiting hours." he smiles then to the both of them. A truly happy ending, it looks like!

But now, Daken once more falls into silence, letting Jean do her duty.

Kaydin LeGraize has posed:
    "If you want I can always help with the getting home. I can run around the entire globe in an hour or so, and thats a brisk jog." Kaydin says as he smiles as he watches the people. When Daken speaks he nods to him. "What he said." He says calmly.

Phoenix has posed:
"In that case, welcome aboard, and welcome to your new home," Jean says while extending her hand to Boris first, and only second to Victor, perhaps meaning to show Boris he can stand on his own two feet. "Daken, would you mind showing Boris to his room? He can have his pick from the free rooms in the boys dorms." At Kaydin's bravado, Jean notes, "perhaps you should pay more attention in class, Kaydin...what do you expect happens to someone without your physiology attaining the speeds your gifted with...? I would advise a car, bus, or train...there's also the matter of being discreet, yes?" She looks particularly at Kaydin, who could've easily used his powers before non mutant friendly guests and exposed the school earlier.

Erddrache has posed:
Boris very gently takes Jean hand - actually he barely even closes. Not because he wishes to be rude - but if nothing else, it clear Boris has a very...cautios personlity to say the least "Ermm, vank sie." he blinks "Oi! Nit even hauf stuff ta move in"
    Victor takes the hand offered and gives it a firm shake "Little Eddrache - do not worry, we kin get what you need und come back" he gestures to Daken and Kaydin "As vey say, this is nit prison" he than looks to Kaydin specificly "...und no vank sie. Goin by truck works for me just fine" yea, he trying to understand mutants - not get crushed by g force pressure

Daken has posed:
Daken looks to Jean then a moment with a smile, nodding a few times. "Of course." he says then, looking to Boris as he puts his hands in his pockets. "At your leisure, then." he says to Boris as he already turns, running a hand through his shoulder length black hair. Yes, he's moved on from the weird mohawk. He gives a small nod to Victor then as he takes Boris away!
