'There's more to life than struggle and the things we seek to win.'
Giovanna opened her eyes and noted that this morning, it was Andrew's bed. She stared for a while at him before checking the clock and kissing him. "Good morning, mon ange. We have a few things to get done, and I'd like to be finished before this evening."

Giovanna listens intently and makes notes. She always does, first because this is serious business for the good of their country and the world, and second because Andrew personally deserves the best Girl Friday/bodyguard/girlfriend that money can't buy.

When that's all noted, well, soon there'll be reviewing the morning newspapers over a quick bite, and she'll make the scheduling calls as he looks over things, and Calling Home and another quick bite before the e-mails to send and... yes, they can get all this done early.
"Remember we have to call Home today before Your Grandfather goes to bed."

	"Ok, we can definitely do that. Are all the reservations in order tonight? Anything I need to see to, still?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"All in order. Tickets are in the pocket of your suit. You just have to keep being a good statesman as you look over the rest of the paperwork and the newspapers, and when we're finished with all of the business, you'll just...be... mine." And she leans over and kisses him again. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He returns the kiss, tempted, as he gets now and then, to say paperwork can wait - but it does have to be done today or it'll get worse... and by getting it done now, they have the whole afternoon together before they go out. "You're the best." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Andrew takes care of the basic formalities first, assuring his mom they're fine, and yes, Giovanna is doing well. Then his father. Then it comes time to get to the tougher portions of the discussion. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

And eventually, his Grandfather is on the phone. After the pleasantries, Magnus, careful-if-not-paranoid, says "Andrew, regarding that little matter we talked of some time ago, I think common courtesy dictates that we give that more attention when we have."
While he's saying this, Giovanna's eyes glow green for a while and she writes a note and hands it to Andrew.

'He wants to meet Julian.'

	Andrew nods to Giovanna, scribbling one in return. 'It will have to be in Genosha, Grandfather can't come here.' Yeah, that causes all sorts of problems, like taking a well known figure to Genosha at all discretely. "I think you're right. I'll see about putting some more time and attention into that matter."

She nods and returns to her several-thousand-mile stare.

"I understand that you're busy, but I appreciate it," his grandfather says warmly. And then the subject shifts, and soon the call home is done.

When the phone is hung up, Giovanna sighs. "I wonder when the least distateful time would be to try to take Angelo to that ...Place of his." She respected Julian; she liked Julian, but Giovanna was a folk and classical music kind of girl, mostly. No establishment whose possibilities included cage dancing was ever going to be entirely tasteful to her.

	"We're not going to. Arrange a dinner for five somewhere used to celebrities, no paparazzi allowed, and keep it on my personal account. Make sure the time works out for Julian. Let's see if we can keep this remotely quiet so we don't ruin his endeavors with the tabloids suggesting that there's some link between his show and Genosha beyond the obvious."

	She nods. "Right." A pause. "Julian really is trying hard to help." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I know he is, and I appreciate his efforts. He's doing the community good - raising awareness and all. I just don't want to ruin his efforts by creating too strong a tie between him and Genosha when we're still being asked about MGH issues by senators from a liberal state."

	She nods. "It'll work out somehow." She puts her arms around him. "I love you, Andrew. (Reply to this)(Parent)
