Erika Kristasdottir comes wandering in in an emerald two piece set, not terribly revealing, and black swim shoes. She has a huge black swim towel over her shoulders, since, well.. she can't exactly go swimming in the pool safely, usually. The water is fine. The bottom, the walls, other people's swim suits.. not so much.

She spreads the towel over a section of bench and sits on it, kicking at the air a bit and debating what to do next. Get some sun maybe? Hmm. The company might be nice. She debates if the pool is going to be empty enough to at least soak in the shallows for a bit..

Cyclops has posed:
Fortunately for Erika, the party is just getting started to the pool is empty at the moment. A few students have wandered out of the mansion and are mingling around the pool deck enjoying snacks and sodas.

Off to one side of the pool area, a massive grill is open and Scott Summers stands in front of it with a wire brush, scrubbing the collected grime from the grill itself. Once it is mostly clean, he sets the brush aside and glances up to see Erika making her way out to join everyone. Inclining his head in her direction, he reaches down and adjusts the air vent on the bottom of the grill to let a little less flow in so the flames from the charcoal bricks can rise and reach the perfect temperature.

There is a large platter full of various meats and another with a stack of vegetarian-friendly meat substitutes that are going to be cooked and it looks like Scott is the man for the job. "Miss Kristasdottir," he says in greeting to Erika. "Nice day to spend by the pool."

Souvenir has posed:
Erika Kristasdottir smiles some and pulls disposable plastic gloves tighter onto her hands, and fishes a small black shoulder bag out of the towel. "Yeah, it's sunny today. What are you cooking up? And is there anything I can do to help? I've been reading up on some of my notes about cooking, even if I don't to-o-tally understand them."

She looks around warily, given that a couple of students have taken to touching her with random objects when they think nobody is looking, and she doesn't really care to be interrupted just now. Because that's embarrassing to have to deal with out of context.

Cyclops has posed:
While students are fairly cruel at the age of most of the ones at Xavier's, not many of them have the audacity to tease each other in any meaningful way in the presence of Scott. At least not that he's aware of. If he happened to catch one, it wouldn't end well for them. He doesn't exactly have a reputation for being a fun teacher. More of a militant stickler for the rules.

Looking from Erika towards the plates full of uncooked food, he clears his throat and lists some of the options off, "Hotdogs, burgers, brats, veggie burgers, some tofu, and various vegetables." He looks back over to the student, "Anything in particular you're looking for? You're welcome to cook something if you like. It's up to you."

Souvenir has posed:
Erika Kristasdottir hmmms. "A brat sounds good, and vegetables.. I like vegetables." She examines the options a bit. "Hmmm, I don't want to throw off your, however you are going to organize things? I think these take different times to cook, right?" She looks at the tray, then how you have things already, and touches her chin in thought with the back of her thumb.

She glances over everything else a bit, and the students assembled, looking them over. Her eyes linger here and there. "I'll just wait until you do them." She smiles some and sighs. "I kind of wish there was a hot tub bit, but I don't know what people would do with it. I mean, there probably is one, but not HERE. I can't swim here, and the lake is too cold."

Cyclops has posed:
The other students don't seem to interested in eating, at least not yet. Nodding to Erika, Scott turns back to the grill and steps up to prepare. He grabs up the meat plate and forks a brat over onto the grill, sending up a small trail of smoke and a hiss of sizzling as the flames reach up and begin scorching it. He also drops a few hotdogs and burger patties on the grill as well before switching out for the veggie/non-meat plate. On the other side of the grill, safely away from the cooking meat, he puts a few veggie patties down followed by some corn on the cob and some pineapple slices. He peers up at Erika and frowns slightly, "I'm sure we can figure out something that would be more accommodating for you."

Souvenir has posed:
Erika Kristasdottir nods, "Yeah, I just haven't figured out how yet. I mean, there's got to be something, right? The lake would work if it was warmer, especially if the bottom was grass or moss or something. But no luck. I mean, I guess I can try to just get used to the cold, just, eventually I want out and then I am shivery and stuff."

She picks up an empty plate and starts getting stuff together. "Is everything else okay? I mean, weird stuff has been happening. Like the nightmares and the Emma thing and all." She glances around a bit more, looking over the various students assembled.
