Postby Gaius Montgomery » Thu Sep 29, 2011 8:26 pm

Guy was sitting on a bench, looking up at the stars and pretending to create new constellations with tiny glowing wisps.

Nate was walking down one of the walkways in the Quad, wearing a long-sleeve X-Corp jacket despite the weather.

Guy caught movement in the corner of his eye and turned his upward-facing head to look.

Bloody hell... is that...?

He jerked upright, wisps winking out of existence.

It is! Stay cool, stay cool...

He stood up a little too fast, and approached. "Well if it isn't the great white wolf himself. Guy Montgomery. Big fan!"

Damnit!

"Sorry about that," he half-chuckled uncomfortably, trying to get back to his comfort zone. "I've just never met one my... ahem... heroes... before."

"S'okay," Nate said with a chuckle as well. "I'm still not used to having 'fans'."

"Don't worry, I won't regale you with your own exploits. That must certainly be bloody annoying."

"I'm far more interested in the undisclosed ones anyway, but of course if you told me you'd have to kill me," he smirked.

The smirk faded. "Aaaand I bet you've heard that line a billion times..."

"And said it almost as many times," he said with a chuckle. "But sometimes the undisclosed ones are that way for a reason. Several of them were... particularly unpleasant."

"Which is why I won't be pressing the issue. No sense in digging up old demons," said the future archeologist bound to someday release a few literal examples.

"One of the few places that when things become dull, you have to start seriously worrying," Nate said by way of agreement.

"Because then the lawn tries to eat you," he said, "Seriously, my first few days, just as I was starting to think the Xavier's reputation was exaggerated.... bam! Lawn attack!"

"Train. Explore your abilities as much as you can. But always take time for yourself. Selfless hero work only takes you so far." Nate thought for a minute, "Oh, and finish university."
