[ And if she goes too much into what else she’s heard, about the hotel and the incentives submissives are being offered just to have a roof over their heads she’ll end up ranting about that. ]
I saw it and thought of you.
Thanks for the skates. I think.
When I first realized what they were I was a little confused but… they’re nice. So thank you.
[ She'd never really explained what she'd seen from the window, why she's snapped and gone to take the Cure. And so she doesn't really expect Bobby to understand why the skates had been so weird to open.
She's also not about to go spilling all of that now. ]
Yeah. We can do that.
[ Even if he's not saying it, she assumes "skate" means "talk", and well, she had said they would. ]
[ Bobby understands what she's getting at, with all the chaos of having powers sometimes brings, but also - ]
I can't imagine a world without mutants, though.
[ Because that just means their kind doesn't exist. Being a mutant is hard most days but he wouldn't want a world where there aren't any of them. It's already unnerving to know there's a universe out there with the Avengers but no mutants. ]
Anyway, I'm glad this person's someone you personally know. And from the same world you signed with.
[ That's definitely one way of looking at it, but Bobby thinks otherwise, admittedly. He just can't imagine existing without his powers when it's an integral part of who he is.
In any case, he chooses to focus on the other point of conversation for now. ]
That's wonderful for them. I think I've heard of sign-ups before. Was just too busy to look.

But he’s a good guy.
[ Which isn’t a lot of words, but her way of saying that she’s safe. ]
no subject
That's what's most important. How did you meet him?
no subject
But it’s not like she’s going to tell Bobby the details of how they’d really met, even if it’s not like it would be all that unusual here. ]
Orientation Center. You know how they’re always trying to throw us together there.
Wouldn’t have expected it to actually work.
no subject
One of the rare instances it does.
I'm glad to know, though. Hate the contracts, but we do what we can. Are you going to live with him full time?
no subject
But at least he's not, you know?
I'm keeping my room in the Down for now.
[ Mostly because she's waiting for this contract to fall apart, but also because she likes knowing she has a place that's hers. ]
But I still pretty much moved into his place and haven't left so...
Sort of.
no subject
[ But let's pivot from this sad topic for a bit. ]
Got your gift, by the way. Thanks. I'll put it to good use.

I really just want to invite you to skate some time. When you're free.

Yeah. We can do that.

Ororo tapped me to make a rink for some snow day someone advertised on the network, so I guess we can do that then.
[ Whenever that will be. ]
no subject
He’s from the same world as the person I signed with.
No mutants. No powers. No superheroes. Sounds calm.

[ Because the simply not existing thing brings back all those existential crisis feelings back and she's ignoring those.
And she's sure as hell not about to describe the first time she met Jamie face-to-face any more than she's about to describe meeting Roy, but: ]
They both played football on their world. I think they're trying to bring a piece of home here.
[ Or she thinks Jamie is, anyway. Roy might be getting begrudgingly dragged along for it. ]

I think you and Jamie would get along anyway.

I'll think about it. Might be nice to play a sport from time to time.
no subject
And you’ll probably be better at it than I am.

Speaking of the Danger Room, I've been learning more hand-to-hand combat lately from someone. Can't believe we didn't really focus on that back home.
no subject
Some of us had private 4am one-on-ones.
Where are you learning hand-to-hand or do I not want to know?
no subject
I didn't know you had private 4am sessions.
no subject
Didn't seem important to mention.
