Owner	Pose
Samuel Guthrie	Samuel Guthrie has caught Doug while he was around and hopefully not to exhausted. He had Shannon bake some Scottish shortbread cookies, and grabbed some German beer. He drives out for a bit, and leads Doug towards the cabin "It is good to have her back closer to the mansion." He comments.
Doug Ramsey	After their talk, Doug had been getting a little more sleep, though still working hard. He was out exercising when Sam found him, and he's dressed in sweats and a tank-top. The way his techno-organic arm meets his shoulder-joint isn't seamless - techno-matter extends tendrils into flesh along his shoulder, his shoulderblade, and his right pectoral. "I heard she'd moved out here, I figured she didn't want to be bothered."
Wolfsbane	First night back in the area, and while the cabin has nothing much in it yet as far as food or any personal effects, there is one person within as lights on would suggest. The cabin is hidden enough from the main roads around Breakstone, but not that difficult to reach, and trees surround the entire place. Inside, it's quiet. Rahne is the way she usually is, which means furred with the fangs and claws and all, but she's in casual clothes upon the couch with a book. Whether she's ready for or expecting visitors so soon, nobody can say.
Samuel Guthrie	Samuel Guthrie looks to his friend as they get to the door, and says "Ah gave her space in the city, only saw her at work, Ah want to make sure she knows we are here for her. Plus I figure worse case we get the impression she wants us to leave we do, your pretty good at reading people." He jokes to his friend. "AH had hoped the club would help us get all back together, and while Ah still enjoy it, did not work to bring the old gang back together.
Doug Ramsey	"...We're all busy Sam," Doug says, "It's a good thing. We're all trying to find our purpose in life, do something constructive, falling in love, planning families, planning LIVES -- that's the way it's supposed to be. Believe me, I wish we could all find a little more time to all be together at once -- but life doesn't work that way... and I guess I'm cool with it."
Wolfsbane	The television? Off. It might not even be set up yet for any channels. The interior? Quiet. In fact, more than quiet enough for the occupant within to hear voices, if not specific words, on the other side of the door. Voices that are..familiar. Closing her book as her head tilts slightly, a brow raising, she rises from the couch and sets the reading material aside.
Samuel Guthrie	Samuel Guthrie will knock on the door holding the tupperwear dish and the beer. He will say "Hey Rahne, it is me Sam, and brought Doug with me, brought ya something and thought would come say hi." He looks over to Doug and says "Yea I think I am getting the message, but sorta sucks. Sometimes, I wonder if I am the one stuck in the past."
Shannon	"Why that...!" Back up in the mansion, the resident winged healer facepalms, seeing one tupperware container still on the center island. And it had cookies in it. But they were not the cookies she had kept aside to bring back to her dorm with her for snackage later. No, they were the ones that had been intended for Rahne! She rolls her eyes and laughs, picking up the container and heading outside.      Once outside, she pauses, thinking to take her phone out and fire off a text to Sam first. <<Where are you? You got the wrong cookies. Safe to fly there w/o being spotted?>>
Doug Ramsey	Doug gives Sam a flat look. "You know..." He says to Sam, "I always imagine you as the 'married with a kid' type? I mean, you seem like you were born to be a dad." He shrugs. "And I mean, it'd be nice to be able to spoil somebody else's kid."
Wolfsbane	They'll have to settle for spoiling someone else tonight, an old friend who's been through some ups and downs lately, though mostly downs if the rumors are true. So, it may be a surprise that when the door opens, there is a somewhat excitable smile on Rahne's face as the warmth of the interior begins to escape into the cooler night air outside. "Sam! Dougie!" A moment's hesitation in her body language reveals she's probably trying to put on a happier front for them, or maybe she got a closer look at Doug's arm, but she waves them on in and opens her arms. "Let me hug both o' ye. I guess ye heard?"
Samuel Guthrie	Samuel Guthrie chuckles and says "Well, Ah would have to find someone who wants to be serious for anything like that, and Ah do believe someone told me I should not be worrying about finding something serious. As Rahne opens the door he will offer her a hug, and his phone buzzes. He steps back letting Doug and Rahne hug if they want, and after reading the text he sighs "I can be such a dufuss." He will get permission for Shannon to join them to bring the cookies, and text back "Sure, just take the back way through the woods, and keep down around treetop level.
Shannon	The message comes back to Shannon and she nods, heading back inside to leave a note in her dorm, and grab a flashlight. Within a few minutes, she's back outside, tapping on her image inducer to reduce visibility. Once in the air, she flies low towards the lake and veering off towards the woods, using the route as a back way off the campus. Sam gave a good description of the route and of the cabin from the air, so it does not take Shannon long. Once landed, she switches off the image inducer, hating the necessity of the thing and preferring not to use it among friends.      "Sam? Sam, you dingbat, where are ya?" A light giggle heralds her arrival, though she keeps a bit back for the moment from the rest.
Doug Ramsey	"Well, no," Doug says, "You should play the field a bit. That doesn't mean *never* finding someone, but it does mean that you know, when you find the right someone, I think you'll be a great family man." He returns that hug, warmly, and then looks around, before he says, "Nice digs." Then he says, pulling it out of thin air, "My arm is fine, Rahne. Promise." Half-truth, since he's worrying about it too.
Wolfsbane	Wolfsbane holds the embrace for a moment with both of them, not too long, not too short, then steps back and gestures them to come in further. "Och, come on in oot o' th' cold," she says. Weather in the 40s is no real issue for her, but it might not be fun for others. "Everything ye see in here, tha's all Kurt. I had nae idea he was doing this." She wonders to Sam, "Is someone else on th' way?" Doug does get a second glance toward the arm before she says, "Ye're both looking well." She's still putting up a bit of the brave front. They've probably heard rumors that she was sinking into a dark place.
Samuel Guthrie	Samuel Guthrie nods to Rahne, and says "Yea, I had Shannon bake you some cookies, and seems I picked up the wrong container." He shows her it "Got her to make some scottish shortbread for you, and also brought Kurt some German beer. " When he hears Shannon he will call out "Over here." to let her know where they are. "May have something else special for ya next month or so, but Ah have to check into it."
Shannon	Shannon follows the sound of Sam's voice, container of cookies tucked under one arm, keeping her wings tucked neatly at her back. She's dressed for the weather, at least, with dark blue jeans, a cream tunic sweater with cable knit pattern, and soft, knee-high, caramel suede boots--definitely an indulgence for her. Even though Sam called, she can also see it's pretty much only adults there, so she stays just outside the door, smiling just a bit. "Hi!"
Doug Ramsey	Doug sighs, and runs his hand through his hair. "I have just been busy. Crazy busy. Still am, though Sam here kind of threw it into my face that I've been using work to avoid dealing with my problems. So now I'm crazy busy AND I have to find time to deal with my problems AND sleep at least six hours a night, or he said he'd hang me off the edge of the crenellations on the school by my ankles. Hi, Shannon."
Wolfsbane	Wolfsbane scoffs, if lightly. "Sam wid never do tha'. He's all talk sometimes." And he's right there to hear her say it, no less. Another voice reaches her ears before she spots Shannon, so she waits for that before offering a simple greeting. "Ahh, thanks, Sam. I'm sure Kurt will like..th' beer..an' I'll enjoy th' cookies." Of course she doesn't drink. No beer, no wine, no whisky, none of that. She even accepts the cookies without touching the beer itself. "I think he's off in th' mansion doing some things," she adds, though she chides Doug lightly. "It's important tae get enough sleep, though. An' if ye've go' tha' much going on, ye should find a way tae get some o' it off yuir plate." Isn't she just great with advice? "Shannon, is tha' ye?"
Samuel Guthrie	Samuel Guthrie smiles and says "She's right I would not do it, I would hire jay to do it, he has much more mobility with his flying than I do, am sure he can get to the spots better than I can." He offers with a grin and does add in "Shannon is a good baker, so I figured they would be a lot more likely to be edible than if I made them. Want me to stick these in the fridge for you? He asks about the beers, so Rahne does not have to mess with it. "Thank ya for fixing my screw up Shannon."
Doug Ramsey	"I always wanted to meet your brother," Doug muses. "But I've been so busy I haven't caught him around the school. But there are a *lot* of girls already mooning over the kid, I pick up bits here and there. He's a real lady-killer, your little brother." He flicks his gaze back up to Rahne. "I'm petitioning to have the day extended to 32 hours so I can fit everything in."
Shannon	Shannon chuckles and calls out, "Yes, it's the resident pain in the rump. I stole the title from Sam." Her eyes twinkle just a little, and she steps a bit closer to the door. Plopping the container in Sam's hands, she offers him a hug, whispering something for a moment.
Wolfsbane	"I'm no' sure whit trouble ye've been intae, but it'll take a lot tae steal tha' from him," Wolfsbane tells Shannon, giving her a second, longer look as if trying to measure up how she's doing after..the incident from a few weeks ago. "Go ahead," she nods as far as the beers go, and whatever other baked goods have been brought by are set nearby for later. "I ate just a little while ago, so I'll save these for later. Thank ye." About this time, a brow shifts upward. "Yuir brother is here?" she asks of Sam. This, she apparently wasn't around to hear of previously, and after that she gives Doug a mock look of disappointment. "I'd wish ye luck wi' tha', but I have a feeling ye'll need it." He's probably joking about the extended hours to the day. If so, she misses it. Whatever she hears between Shannon and Sam, she leaves it to him to answer. Rahne is not back at the school in any position of authority.
Samuel Guthrie	Samuel Guthrie winces a bit at Doug's words, and it may seem a bit out of character for the young man. He will look to the group, and says "Ok, gonna ask ya not to say that around Jay, long story but it would be a bad thing to do. " At Shannon's words, he will say "It is Rahne's place is up to her. Still feels a bit odd to be called the adults." He grins at them for a moment, before going back to a serious face, and says "Am hoping Jay, thats what Josh is going by now gets to liking it here, did not really want to come but I think it is growing on him.
Shannon	Shannon shrugs and smiles a bit. "I should probably get going anyways. Mission accomplished and all." Slowly, she starts backing away from the group, especially with talk of Josh. "Oh trust me, Rahne, I've got the title." She pauses by the door, looking back at them, "Let me know if you like cinnamon raisin oatmeal cookies, I'll bake extra next time I make them."
Doug Ramsey	"I uh." Doug says, "I would've baked you a pie, but you know." He says, "...Can't bake." Then he sighs, and says, in good-natured tone, "Shannon, your baked goods are really playing hell with my diet. I don't consume a ton of energy to use my power like Sam here... and I work with computers! If I don't watch what I eat and work out every day, I'll fall apart!"
Wolfsbane	"Tha's no' a title I'd want. Ye're welcome tae warm up a bit first, but if ye really need tae get back, be careful," Wolfsbane tells Shannon. She makes more room, indicating the couch with a hand. "But ye dinna have tae go because this is an 'adults' thing. I'm still trying tae get muh head around th' idea o' muh own cabin nearby." She hasn't even asked Kurt who's paying for it! "Kurt thought I..wasnae happy in Mutant Town, an' I guess he was right." She stays out of talk of Sam's brother, not up on what Jay or Josh or whoever would and wouldn't want to hear someone say. "It's th' thought tha' counts, Doug. An' I think if anything, ye'd be putting on a few pounds. Tha' doesna sound like falling apart tae me." She keeps with small talk aside from the Mutant Town part. Surely they have questions, and she rubs the back of a hand with the opposite thumb.
Doug Ramsey	While they're talking, Doug begins to potter around the cabin, taking a look at the place. "Wow, nice bathroom, did Kurt have this expanded?"
Samuel Guthrie	Samuel Guthrie looks to Rahne and says "So, you think your gonna like it out here a bit more? You know if you ever need or want company we are just around the bend, and will come a running, even if your just wanting someone to talk to or watch tv with, and if your wanting to be along will give ya space, long as ya promise not to beat me up to much." He teases Rahne some.
Shannon	Shannon hesitates a moment more, and then takes the hint from Rahne, settling somewhat uncomfortably on the couch. She smiles but keeps quiet, listening more than anything else at the moment. It really wasn't her place to speak up, after all, though it was nice to be here. She glances around the place, having to brush a bit of pale gold away from her face, tucking it behind her ear.
Wolfsbane	"I'll..have tae ask him. We only talked about some things maybe a week an' a half ago," Rahne explains. Was Kurt already working on this prior to that? Did it come up afterward? "He seemed ready tae, ah..ye know.." She gestures helplessly with a hand, not caring whether Doug can hear it over in the bathroom, or if Shannon listens from the couch. Relationships are normal, and so is breaking up, even if the Scottish mutant has little experience with either. She goes on, "But we talked about some things, an' he asked me tae come back. He said everyone else needed it, but tha' I needed it as well." It doesn't sound as if he was wrong. Sam's teasing falls on deaf ears, but she does add, "Kurt wanted tae find a place where I could have some peace an quiet tae muhself, but still be verra close. I like tha' there are trees all around again."
Samuel Guthrie	Samuel Guthrie dosen't get the smile he was hoping from the tease, so he just lets it go. "I will say Kurt is making a good impression with the kids, they are even doing a drama club with him." He will tell Rahne. After putting the stuff up, he will wind a seat, and says "He mentioned it" he does not mention that he came to Sam ready for him to beat him up. He looks around for a bit and says "Oh there is a chance not for sure yet, Ma and the little ones may be coming up in the next month or so."
Shannon	Shannon smiles a little bit as she listens to Rahne, and not for the first time, really begins to debate heading out the door. It seems she valued her peace and quiet, and here she was just making a nuisance of herself. Mention of the drama club holds her there, though, and she cants her head. "Oh... yeah, I did ask Kurt about that some weeks ago, wasn't too sure it'd be taken seriously. Guess I was wrong. I think he picked Cyrano de Bergerac for the club this time."
Wolfsbane	Wolfsbane steals another glance toward the bathroom, shaking her head before telling Sam and Shannon, "If he falls asleep in there..." She moves back around toward one of the chairs close to the couch, a hand resting against the back of it. "I can see him doing a drama club. Some people keep suggesting I be an advisor or a mentor, an'..I just dinna see it. I dinna have anything useful I can teach any o' th' students here noo." She includes Shannon in this with a brief look her way. "Tha' sounds nice about th' family, though. Be thankful ye have a good one. Some o' us are no' so lucky."
Samuel Guthrie	Samuel Guthrie looks to Rahne, and says "Well you got me and all the rest of us Carrot top, I may have taken Shannon here as another little sister, but does not mean I am letting you get away an hey with Jay being around people liable to believe he is your brother before mine anyways." He offers her with a grin "If he falls asleep in there will carry him home.
Shannon	"You might have more to teach than you think. Just think about it. I'll tell you the same thing I told Logan when I signed on for his class. Sometimes the lessons aren't always spoken ones." Odd, coming from the youngest one in the room.      At the mention of the rest of the clan coming up to visit, though, Shannon -does- get up and make for the door, wings drooping. "You might have taken me on as another little sister... but..." She lets it trail off and slips outside, winging her way into the air. Apparently, a bit of a sore point there....
Wolfsbane	"He knows a whole lot more than I do about all th' things people like us can do," Wolfsbane says of Logan, leaving it there for the time being. "Why wid people think he's muh brother?" she asks Sam, but before much else can come of that, Shannon has a reaction that leaves her both looking and sounding confused once the girl is gone. "..did I miss something?" she asks Sam, frowning.
Samuel Guthrie	Samuel Guthrie sighs and says "Shannon, give it time, please, he did not want to come here it is going to take some time. He resented me being here for a while. Jay has been through a lot, and honestly he maybe the one that takes the longest to accept folks, but give it time and Ah think it will bloom. " To Rahne he looks and says "Red hair and red wings." to explain the resembelance.
Wolfsbane	Wolfsbane approaches the door, but after looking outside she says, "She's already gone, Sam." Shutting it again, she raises a brow at what she at least hears about Jay, though she appears unsure how to react to that information. Instead, "Ye know I dinna have wings, an' just because he's go' th' same hair color I do, tha's nae reason for someone tae think we're related."
Samuel Guthrie	Samuel Guthrie says, "Well between me and you folks think hair color first is why I said so." He sighs a bit and rubs his hand through his hair. "Jay is a special case, he has went through some really tough things recently, and he and taken to Shannon as a sister as fast as she want him to. Ah think it may make matters worse he seems to be getting along well with Andrea, and she has like a major crush on him. He is working through a major lose though. Then you get to the fact as I said he did not want to come here. Mom made him to try to get him help. I don't know how to get Shannon she has to give him time, and even so, I am the one who took her in as family, and ma trusts my opinion does not mean the others will or want, but need to be given time and get to know her, and her them."
Wolfsbane	So much going on in what Sam tells Rahne. So many things to unpack. Complicated things. Difficult things. Things she may not want to face or deal with. Is that why she fled to Mutant Town in the first place? To escape things like this? "Sam, ye just..ye have tae give them all time, but there's.." She pauses, coming back over to grip the back of the chair with both hands, eyes sweeping in the direction of the restroom again before returning to Sam. "I understand why ye want tae consider other people parts o' yuir family, but there's family an' there's /family/." The emphasis on the difference is clear. "I'm no' sure whit things were like wi' Shannon's but aside from Lady Moira, I have nae /family/ I can look tae for support when I need it. Aye, there's all o' ye, an' I appreciate tha', but ye're all I've go'. Muh own father wid rather I was dead. I guess whit I'm saying is..och, I'm no' really sure noo. They're young like we were, an' I know all about childhood crushes." Her expression shifts as she says all of this, showing the difficulty there is in conveying some of it, but it's clear she's being sincere. "Ye have tae let them figure some things oot on their own." Like Mutant Town and herself.
Samuel Guthrie	Samuel Guthrie nods, and says "Yea, ah know and am trying but you know me I just want to help everyone. He will stand and offer her a hug "Well always remember blood or not your kin and you always will be." He looks over to the bathroom and says "I reckon I should check on him and get him home.
Wolfsbane	"Ye canna solve everyone else's problems for them, Sam," Wolfsbane reminds him. "I know ye wish ye could, an' I've felt th' same way, but.." She shakes her head, just moving over to give him one more hug. "It's nice tae be closer again." They check on Doug and, whether he fell asleep or just needed some personal time in the bathroom, ensure both of the 'boys' get back to the mansion together.
