Goodwill Ambassador
Angelo had done some preparation for this. He knew that he and his sister had divergent views on the group occupying his thoughts, but he was confident they could approach the situation like rational adults. Of course, he wasn't above cheating, just a little bit. The jug of homemade cider he'd buried in the neighborhood garden had finally been dug up after fermenting long enough, and some was currently on the stove with butter and cooking brandy milling in it. He'd also just finished dusting some krapfen with powdered sugar as he approached his sister, who was going over his latest home-school exam.

"Gio?" He set down a plate of Italian pastry and cider in front of her. "There was something I wanted to confer with you about."

	Its a while later. Andrew has been hard at work, but eventually, the smell of near done cooking draws him away from it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Angelo is just setting the table as the pot pie cools. "Good evening, Andrew. You can go ahead and sit, dinner will be ready momentarily." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Giovanna leans to kiss Andrew's cheek. "Everything all right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"As well as can be expected, anyway. Lots of news lately... everyone wants to know if Genosha has anything to do with mutant town and the rest. How're you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Giovanna and I were discussing a trip I wished to make. She said you would have to be consulted." Angelo sets the pot pie down, Gio already handling the salad.

"I wanted to visit Alpha Flight with a few tokens of respect, baked goods and local produce mostly, and offer some words of appreciation for their work as positive mutant role models."

Unlike certain media circuses locally.

	"International issues are, of course, your department. I have to admit I'm not too keen on any contact with the kind of government manipulation Alpha Flight is under, and the only person who might know who Angelo is might be uncomfortable with him. But I'll supervise him if you think it's okay to let him go." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Andrew considers, then ponders a little longer. Finally, he sighs.

"A lot of things could go very wrong. It risks a lot of the relations we're trying to forge, given the names involved. The pragmatist in me says I should shut this down as a bad idea."

He pauses.

"But we're here to try and heal wounds, to try and put the past behind us so everyone can move forward. So... the idealist in me wins this one. But... supervise him carefully... and Angelo.. be very careful in this one, ok?"

Angelo maintains a poker face, but can't help but smile sheepishly as Andrew gives the go-ahead, nodding vigorously.

"I won't disappoint you, sir."

He finally lets out the breath he didn't realize he'd been holding and sits down, making a small cross-cut at the center of the pie to let it vent, before allowing Andrew to serve himself first.

It's going to take the last of his allowance for the next month, but he's got a new baking tray to buy to prepare for this.

	Despite her concerns, which she sees Andrew understands, Gio just nods at Andrew's decision, and thinks it's sweet to watch his optimism win even if it's a bad idea. And they'll enjoy supper. (Reply to this)(Parent)
