Guess Who's Coming to Dinner (Genoshans, Nell)
When everything was done at the volunteer site, there was cleaning up and meeting at that great little restaurant with the nice private rooms. The whole gang: Andrew, Giovanna, Angelo, Sengai, Rikki...and that Nell girl Gio had met. The St. Croix girl. The American (and therefore baseline) St. Croix girl. Gio was still processing this. Good thing for the restaurant's record keeping away eavesdroppers, in case someone ended up saying something untoward.

	"I've been aware of the need for self-control since I gained these damn eyes!" Sengai attacks with more anger than before, venting his frustration. "I see the suffering and those who inflict it before my eyes, and I must turn away!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

And Gio blocks, and blocks, and damages her sleeve a little as she doesn't block quite fast enough. "I know. Believe me, I know. It's not just this, either. Things happen all the time. Last January... there were murderers. They were mutants killing mutant children. And one of them... he not only hurt Andrew he ... never mind. But the point is, he assaulted us, then helped kill two schoolchildren and put two more in comas. That we could fight, but when I tracked the cur down and made sure he would never hurt anyone like that again..." Gio presses her own attack. "Andrew was horrified with me."

	He slows a bit at that. He understands what Gio means. He too was raised by a parent with very different values than what was acceptable in today's world. "Ever feel you were born in the wrong era?" The question was as much emphatetic understanding as an inquiry. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	There's understanding of his intention in Gio's wry smile. "Yes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sengai stops for a moment. "How do you do it? How does a really old-fashioned person handle this kind of anger and frustration?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Me? I just have to keep reminding myself that I have to do it for Andrew. I may not always understand him, but I love him, and what's more, I trust him. If he thinks all this nonsense is the best way to ensure a better future, then it is, and I'm going to do my best not to choke myself reining things in." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Sengai actually chuckles a bit at that.

"Well I certainly don't love Andrew, but I respect him." Yes it was a bad joke and Father would likely be annoyed by it, but what Suvik doesn't know won't hurt him. "Your reason is always there for you to reflect on, mine..is more intransigent. I can remember that I'm here to redeem my father's honor..but it seems petty when compared with what's happening around me."

"Understandable. I certainly don't know, but maybe it'll help to think of it this way. The world's been full of people like us for a long time. The kind who are ready and willing and needing to strike the bad guys down now... And people who claimed to have that policy were at Acre," the slaughter that shown her father that what he'd been sold as a noble cause was a fraud. "And places like it, all through the years. But there weren't many people like Andrew. So maybe we just have to give it a try."

	Sengai takes a calming breath, his eyes now at a much lower intensity. But not gone, the glow was never gone. "You have wisdom beyond your years, Giovanna. Perhaps I can keep that in mind in the future. Thank you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She shrugs, resting on her sword for a moment. "I'm just in love with and service to a genius." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sengai allows himself a slight smile. "Well that certainly helps." Sengai walks over to pick up the sunglasses he cast off. He looks at them somewhat conflictedly. "I hate hiding." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sengai nods in appreciation before sliding them back on his face. "I am ready to return to the dinner. I must apologize to Andrew for my childish behavior." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Getting some air burnwithlight 2011-06-16 02:09 pm UTC (link)
	"Andrew's reasonably easy to apologize to." Gio takes a few breaths and offers her hands. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He nods and takes her hands. (Reply to this)(Parent)
