Giovanna got up at dawn, as usual. After the standard workout with Father and breakfast, she washed up and gathered her books. Her eyes lingered a little on her face in the mirror as she put on lip gloss. Not that how she looked mattered at all, of course. There were much more important things with which to concern themselves. Much.

Giovanna stood holding the books, let it all build up, communicated to Father where she would be, finally let herself flare up, vanish... and appear outside Andrew's door, within clear sight of the usual security measures.

She knocked politely.

	Giovanna listens and nods between sips of water. "We're not going to get perfect circumstances for all factors, so better to go with the best shot for the national interest." she agrees. That any other countries might actually be friendly is, well, still a bit of a leap of faith for her, but she's taking it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He's more or less likewise inclined - but he is fairly certain that some nations would be willing to put a lot aside to establish trade with Genosha, and thus to maybe end up nowhere on Magneto's hitlist, should new problems arise. Likewise, some nations do actually have useful and favorable human rights records. He has to try, regardless.

"That's my take, obviously. And dad is coming around. He originally wanted to do it himself, but his former ties to X-Factor and their US government sponsorship put him and mom both in a very bad spot where criticizing US doctrine is concerned."

	Giovanna nodded. "I guess not having been something else first, on any side of the equation, can be a sort of advantage." And food comes. The fruit is delicious. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Which is where we come in. We're Genoshan, first and foremost. They can't use my parents' history against me as long as you're there, and vice versa. Plus, of course, with you keeping an eye out for me, I'm unlikely to show up in my pajamas." he adds with a grin, starting out with the bread himself. As usual, she's right - its excellent.

	She smiled back. "Definitely. And I promise I'll be careful, too." No matter who is clearly asking for what. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I can't think of anything you haven't already been helping with. To be completely honest, I'm not really looking forward to the journey itself. I'm not as used to planes as you are." Father had always handled all the transportation when she was young. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
