Genesis has posed:
New day, new day!

Class had just gotten out for Evan, but...something was always grabbing at his attention, even when he tried not to think about it. The lady he met while he was outside past kerfew: Laura. She was...strange to him. Similar, yet different in many ways. His first and only friend. A milestone in his life that was more dear to him than anything else.

Oh the joys of having a friend!

But now that class was out, Evan wandered about the school, eventually coming upon the recreational room in an attempt to find X-23. Clones gotta stick together!

X-23 has posed:
    Laura's at least been back at the school. She's bad at telling people her plans. But she's back on at least a provisional basis, having said nothing officially about her absence. The girl is in rather new jeans and a black t-shirt today, along with trainers. It's about the most normally she's dressed.

Genesis has posed:
Upon spotting Laura, and not yet quite realizing social etiquette, Evan runs over to her. "Laura!" Calling her by her chosen name as a sign of great respect and admiration, perhaps. Eventually, he stops just short of her. "I didn't know you were back!" Evan looks so happy.

X-23 has posed:
Laura looks over, her head snapping about as she drops into an almost-combat stance for that first moment, and then relaxes once she sees who it is. "Evan." She states, her tone as flat as usual. "I have decided to return, at least until my investigation produces answers one way or the other." She nods to him. "How have you been?" Another mark of her social skills (slowly) developing; two months ago she wouldn't have asked, and wouldn't have cared.

Genesis has posed:
Evan stops about a solid 2 to four feet from her, smiling widely to her. "I'm glad you did. and I'm happy you remember my name! It feels good having a name." he smiles to her. "I hope you have great answers soon enough! Oh, I've been good. I'm working on my studies and stuff like that. I'm also learning how schools work. It's exciting!" He smiles. "How have you been?" he speaks with interest and intrigue.

X-23 has posed:
"I have been well enough. I am slowly consolidating my situation." Laura looks back to him. "Schools here are very different than the training I underwent. They seem very inefficient so far." She shakes her head, black hair stirring as she does so. It's gotten longer; she hasn't bothered to cut it. "I hope it is proving useful for you."

Genesis has posed:
Evan rather likes her long hair. It really brings out the color in her eyes. But, alas. "I'm glad! Well, maybe this place is efficient in other ways. I can't tell you how, because I don't know what you've been through." he's been through similar, but not to the extent of Laura. "But, I do hope you stay longer this time. I can apparently play the piano."

X-23 has posed:
"A great deal of combat training." Laura looks curious. "I have no ability to play musical instruments. Something I will have to learn in time. I was about to get food. Are you hungry?" she asks/offers.

Genesis has posed:
"Oh! Perhaps I could show you how? I think it would be fun for the both of us." Though, Evan tilts his head curiously. Is this what humans call it when they ask someone else out? Oh how lovely! He hasn't gone out to eat with someone before. "Oh? I am a little hungry. I'd like to come with you, if I may and if you don't mind the company."

X-23 has posed:
Laura considers. "I would be willing to learn from you." Her offer doesn't seem to be as much "out", as she nods. "I was simply offering to go to the kitchen. And possibly to cook." She clarifies, as she moves to start that way. "I do not mind the company."

Genesis has posed:
"Wonderful!" Evan looks rather happy at this development and follows Laura towards the kitchen. "I did not know that you could cook. I would love to try your food."

X-23 has posed:
Laura looks...almost a little embarassed. "It is somewhat of a new skill. I did not have to worry about it previously. But I have had to feed myself since I left the Facility." She moves that way. "Do you have any food considerations I should know about?"

Genesis has posed:
Evan notices that look and he smiles gently. "It is nothing to be shy about. I can't wait to try it. To my knowledge, I have no allergies of any kind, so I'm not afraid of dying from your food." he gives her a playful smile. He is slowly learning to express emotions much better in variety.

X-23 has posed:
"Unless it is simply that bad." Was that a joke? That might have actually been a joke. From the ultimate straight-woman. She moves out there, and considers. "Eggs. And I believe I saw meat." She looks in the fridge. "Very well. I will attempt it."

Genesis has posed:
Evan seems to just be in high spirits. Laura made a joke! Evan even chuckles. "Funny." He says with admiration in his eyes, but he takes a seat at the counter so he can watch her cook. Perhaps he will learn something from Laura?

X-23 has posed:
The girl takes out the meat, and moves to take out a kitchen knife, cutting it expertly. "So..." she starts hesitantly. "What are your abilities?" she approaches. Mutant small talk.

Genesis has posed:
Genesis tilted his head as Laura hesitantly asked him a personal question. "I have a few abilities..like I can change my molecular structure. Stretching and changing my body into weapons. I can manipulate energy, I am stronger than most, and I possess a healing factor...or so the doctors always said. What about you?" he hesitated as she approaches. "What are your powers?"

X-23 has posed:
"Primarily a healing factor." Laura says, cracking eggs into a bowl. "I have keener senses than most, and I have natural weaponry, which has in turn been plated with adamantium." The answer is simple, rote. A pan goes onto the heat on the oven.

Genesis has posed:
Evan tilts his head. "Adamantium? An extremely hard substance that is also incredibly sharp. They spoke of bonding me to a metal such as that..but thought it better to leave me more fluid. But I like it. In many ways,you are very unique. Different. It's a good sight." Evan smiles.

X-23 has posed:
"I was not given the choice." Laura drops the small cubes of steak into the pan, letting the meat sizzle, before she turns back. "Fluidity is not an aspect for me. Save for my combat style." Since her hands are free a moment, she pops the claws on her right hand to display, as they shoot out, leaving little blood rivulets. *SNIKT*

Genesis has posed:
Noticing That Laura is bleeding, Evan takes a moment to notice the claws, before he has a napkin in hand to try and help wipe away the bleeding, his hand holding hers if she allows, as if to observe her claws and powers. "How cruel. Does it hurt when you reveal your claws?" he looks worried. Concerned.

X-23 has posed:
"Only for a moment. The tissue heals almost immediately." She answers, and pops the claws back in, to avoid any accidental cuts since he is dabbing up the blood. "You do not have to do that." She looks almost a little flustered.

Genesis has posed:
Evan ahs and nods to Laura, despite her looking flustered, he finishes wiping the blood from her knuckles. "You were still bleeding. besides, I did not think it healthy for your blood to fall upon your own food." he smiles, and releases her hand when it is cleaned.

X-23 has posed:
    "I would not have let the blood touch the food." Blink. "The food!" She turns back to quickly stir things, and then puts the eggs into the second pan. "I do not think it is burned." Too much.

Genesis has posed:
Well, Evan looks guilty. "I am sorry..I distracted you." Evan lowers his head, though still leans forward to smell the food. "It still smells nice."

X-23 has posed:
"It is all right." She adds the cooked bits to the egg, making a sort of steak-and-egg skillet. Hurriedly, she finishes, plating the food. "I am sorry if it is not pleasant." Laura says, looking unhappy. "This is a new skill to me."

Genesis has posed:
Evan has proper utensils, and he hands one fork to Laura so she can try too. He takes a bite, and he seems to hum, savoring the flavor apparently. "It tastes good....unique." he's never had semi-burnt food before, but that smile is beautiful. Likehe accomplished some grand thing. He smiles to Laura. "Thank you, Laura." he takes another bite, happy to enjoy the meal she made for them.
