So, in the past few weeks I've been:

• Burnt, frozen -- twice! -- and  then screamed at so loudly that it felt like I was burning; which, lemme tell ya? Is murder on the ear drums,
• Slammed through a wall, then another wall, then a third and a fourth, all because I asked a suspiciously girl-shaped monster if she'd lost her way,
• Had to catch the same gang of crooks more times than I would've liked, and then had to watch them break out of prison and almost get eaten by what looked like a flock of fire hydrants with teeth. Yeah, time travel? Not cool when it's wild.
• Forced to squeeze pennies like I was trying to give the inside of hand a tattoo of good ol' honest Abe, which is just nuts. I mean, seriously -- I know we're in a recession and whatnot, but a gallon of milk is five dollars and I'm officially the most broke healthy person on the planet!

And now, Valentine's day is coming up. The big two-fourteen: bane of every single person and job-addicted superhero everywhere. I've got good memories of the day from back home, but truth be told? Manhattan is not the place you want to be come dusk on Valentine's day. Especially if you main mode of transportation is web swinging at a height of just high enough to not have to deal with all the lovey-dovey proclamations of, well, love; but, also not so high that you can't help but accidentally see couples in pent houses getting, ah -- well, you get my point!

[ A beat, as if he's thinking of something. ]

What were your Valentine's days like, before you came here? Can't be worse than mine, I bet.

Good. Too many people don't have one.

[Mags is a bully, he knows he'll run all over someone who lets him.]

Yes. And smell.

[He greys a little thinking about it, actually.]

Re: permavideo

[doeswhathewants]

I agree. And she's so docile and caves in far too easily to the whims of others.

[He tips his head and consiers]

The smell of it fresh or cooked? Why?

Re: permavideo

[magnetic_magpie]

Emma may be willing to help her with that as well.

[His jaw tics.]

I worked in crematorias as teenager.

Re: permavideo

[doeswhathewants]

I think Emma might just intimidate her, to be honest. What with her telepathy and her massive cleavage.

[Notices the tic]

Oh. Oh. Yes, I can see the aversion.

Re: permavideo

[magnetic_magpie]

Emma is good with children, actually.

[He just nods, once, sharply.]

Re: permavideo

[doeswhathewants]

Skeptical. But if Youko permits it.

[He says no more about it, not wanting to stir up painful memories for Magneto.]

Re: permavideo

[magnetic_magpie]

Loki. Do you truly believe I would permit her around my children, my grandchildren, were that not the case?

But Healer Unohana may also be able to help her.

Re: permavideo

[doeswhathewants]

No, I take you at your word and believe in her skills.

Youko is simply... different.

Re: permavideo

[magnetic_magpie]

Healer Unohana is very strong, but in a quiet way. She may be more comfortable with her?

Re: permavideo

[doeswhathewants]

Possibly.

Mm. I think she might know Unohana already from an exam.

Re: permavideo

[magnetic_magpie]

I'll speak to her, next time I see her, if you would like?

Re: permavideo

[doeswhathewants]

In such a way that Youko will know that I have been talking about her because she has a sword.

Re: permavideo

[magnetic_magpie]

I do have a bit more of a light touch than that.

Re: permavideo

[doeswhathewants]

I am only being sure. She is a bit ... sensitive, is all.

...and a little frightening at times.

Re: permavideo

[magnetic_magpie]

There's a Japanese market in Sector 3. Perhaps you could swing by and have them help you pick out some kitchen stables for her?

Re: permavideo

[doeswhathewants]

That... is a brilliant idea.

Re: permavideo

[magnetic_magpie]

[He laughs softly.]

I was married before - I know a few things about handling young women.

Re: permavideo

[doeswhathewants]

[Says quickly]

It isn't like that.

Re: permavideo

[magnetic_magpie]

[Snort.]

I'd hope not.

Re: permavideo

[doeswhathewants]

Yes, such advantage the older woman would be taking of a young thing like myself.

Re: permavideo

[magnetic_magpie]

Young innocent think like yourself.

Re: permavideo

[doeswhathewants]

Entirely innocent. And impressionable.

Re: permavideo

[magnetic_magpie]

Indeed. Goodnight Loki.

[Amused and fond.]

Re: permavideo

[doeswhathewants]

Mm. You, too.

[reginagloriae]

[Oh my god, if she ever saw this.

she's mouseromantic asexual, khtx.]
