Jun 13: I hang out here!

[Altamira Vazquez]

Altamira was in the XUB again, drinking something brightly colored with an umbrella and twisty straw.

((open))

[Gaius Montgomery]

Guy entered the XUB and, upon spying Mira, walked up and took the next stool to her right.

"Well then. Hello again."

[Altamira Vazquez]

"And hello to you, too."

[Gaius Montgomery]

"It seems we have a friend in common."

[Altamira Vazquez]

"Yes?"

[Gaius Montgomery]

"You're dating my roommate."

[Altamira Vazquez]

"Oh, yes, that's right!"

[Gaius Montgomery]

"He's not too much trouble I hope," he smirked teasingly.

[Altamira Vazquez]

"Oh, not at all."

[Gaius Montgomery]

"Not even a little hmm?" he chuckled knowingly.

[Altamira Vazquez]

"No. He's quite the gentleman."

[Gaius Montgomery]

"Yes. He is, isn't he? Good for you he's rubbing off on me and not the other way around," he smirked.

[Altamira Vazquez]

"I didn't think either of you swung that way," Mira teased.

[Gaius Montgomery]

"My aren't we the cheeky one," he smirked.

[Altamira Vazquez]

"When I want to be," she grinned.

[Gaius Montgomery]

"I'm seeing why Hall likes you," he chuckled.

[Altamira Vazquez]

"What's not to like?"

[Gaius Montgomery]

"Nothing that I know of," he smiled

[Altamira Vazquez]

"Good!"

[Gaius Montgomery]

"You've found yourself a good man in Ha... Sean. He's set me straight on more than one occasion."

[Altamira Vazquez]

"Has he?" she smiled.

[Gaius Montgomery]

"Believe it or not I used to act like a haughty, spoiled jerk. To him especially."

[Altamira Vazquez]

"Is that so? I can't believe it."

[Gaius Montgomery]

"Oh I was really just doing the old 'pushing people away to hide being a mutant' thing. I did still have some 'friends', but not any real ones."

[Altamira Vazquez]

"Too many people have to do that."

[Gaius Montgomery]

"Far too many," he agreed, "And it's not even my nature to be shy about... well, much of anything really."

[Altamira Vazquez]

"Really?"

[Gaius Montgomery]

"I quite recently borrowed a car... without permission mind you... with news choppers watching."

[Altamira Vazquez]

"Yes, I know..."

[Gaius Montgomery]

"Well it was to pursue a dangerous terrorist who I did ultimately help bring to justice."

[Altamira Vazquez]

"Yes," she chuckled, "I know."

[Gaius Montgomery]

"I've never done anything remotely that dangerous. It was terrifying and insane and exhilarating and somehow... right."

[Altamira Vazquez]

"Right?"

[Gaius Montgomery]

"That perhaps I have found that elusive thing that is a purpose. To use my talents and what gifts fate has bestowed upon me to make this world a better place."

[Altamira Vazquez]

"...are you a poetry major?" Altamira asked, politely.

[Gaius Montgomery]

"Not in the least," he laughed.

[Altamira Vazquez]

"...have you thought about it?"

[Gaius Montgomery]

"I'd rather experience the world than sit in a room and write about it in verse."
