[Life was good.
It'd been a month and ten days (Logan had counted) since he'd been brought back to the X-Mansion. A month and ten days since he'd left the Black Tide. And the best part? Aside from leaving that hell hole, that is? Talia was with him. Someone who knew and understood just what he'd gone through on that boat. Charles hadn't doubted him; he would've known right away if he was lying. That didn't make it any easier to believe. And that was just fine with him.
If he didn't have to think about that stupid boat again, it'd be too soon.
Settling into life at the mansion was easy enough. Getting an ID and papers for Talia was easy enough. And even better, she fit like a glove at the school. It was more than Logan could ask for.
It wasn't perfect. Nothing ever was. But it was good. And that was enough.]

Sorry it took so long... minor catastrophe hereabouts. :\
She understood wholly why she wasn't going, even though it bothered her just a little to be left out. She knew next to nothing about their world and having to answer questions about a history she didn't know would be difficult at best, horrible at worst.]
I appreciate both the company and the offer of help... [She meant it, too.] But I'm sure we'll be just fine. [She was grateful the students seemed to like her, as it made the whole acclimation process that much easier. She'd rather enjoyed their tests of just what she was capable of, as all teenagers were known to test boundaries.
She smiles, clearly bemused, when Logan promises safety for the children but not necessarily Scott. When he leans in to kiss her, pausing to grouse at their company, she chuckles low in her throat and turns him to face her.]
I'm sure he doesn't, beloved. [She leans in and meets him, kissing him with all the warmth she feels. Sorry for the PDA, Scott, but at least she's not tickling her emotions across your head and saves that for Logan! When she pulls back, the smile still touches her lips.]
I'll see you when you get back... don't worry about me; everything will be fine.
fyi, if it's friday-tuesday evening and I don't respond, I am probs at work :T
ew work
For the moment anyway, Scott and the kids are forgotten and Talia's got his full attention. When they part, Logan manages something like a sincere smile and he nods.]
I know. But if you need me. [He tapped his temple. All she had to do was call and he'd come runnin'.]
All right, Boy Scout. Let's get goin' before the Professor takes your badges away.
o7 More than understandable!
Still, she knows that he has his duties just as she did... as she does now. She laughs softly as he taps his temple, tickling her emotions across his with a tender smile.]
I know... now get out of here.
[She steps back to clear the doorway for him, moving to gather what she'll need for class.]

We will be in public, so try to look presentable.
[He turns back around to leaning on the doorframe in the hall.]
If that's even possible.
[It wasn't exactly directed at Logan, but Scott definitely didn't say it quietly enough for it to be just to himself. Hopefully Talia doesn't take it poorly - surely they're both aware of the feral hobbit she's living with and his preferred wardrobe.]

[Logan ignores Scott. He thinks he looks just fine. They want him to go on this stupid field trip, he'll go lookin' like mountain cave man that he is. He runs a hand through his hair and smooths it down a little. Just a little. Ain't no taming the rest of that mane.]
C'mon, Scott, before you get left behind. Can't kiss up to Professor standin' in the hallway.
