Intro post - Homecoming.
Weary. That was exactly how she was feeling as she pulled her bags out from the back of the cab, feeling a sense of relief that she'd gotten a typical New York driver; one who refused to get out of his car and help her. Ah, but isn't it great to be home. She'd barely closed the trunk when the car took off, prompting a smile to cross her face. Hefting her bags, she slogged up the stairs and wrestled open the front doors, taking in that first whiff of Xavier's; the scent of home. "Honey, I'm home," she said softly, a smile on her face. Shuffling her bags in, she listened for any sound of activity as she made her way up to her room.

	She chuckled at that, shaking her head. "Old student. Back from an extended vacation. Felt like coming home. And no 'misses'.. Far too proper for people that are essentially living together. Sasha." She holds her hand out to him with a smile. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Fred glances at his large, clawed hand a moment, almost tentative to return the gesture. After a moment, he did so, practically engulfing her hand in his. "Friedrich, though the students have taken to calling me Fred." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She feels her hand swamped by his, giving him a warmer smile. "Just be glad none of them have decided to be smartass enough to call you 'Freddy'. And it's nice to meet you, Friedrich. Fred. I'm not sure which one I'll stick with yet." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Despite himself, he chuckled a bit. "Perhaps they actually have enough sense not to. Either that or perhaps my cousin has urged them away from such folly." He goes to nod his head, but catches himself, realizing she wouldn't see it. "It has been pleasant meeting you as well, Sasha. You say you've been here before?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Cousin? Now, which one's that?" She caught the movement, the ambient soundwaves in the room giving her enough of a 'view' of him and her surrounding location. Smiling, she tipped her chin at him. "I'm not completely blind, you know. You can do things like nod, Fred. And yeah. Raised here. Graduated and the whole shebang. Just.. went on an extended vacation, until I started feeling homesick."

	"Sylvia McCoy, though it's more complicated than you know. A story for another day perhaps." His eyes widen a little. "Impressive. Some manner of echolocation?" He listens to her story. "I see. I'm not a student myself, perhaps..tenant..is a more appropriate word." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	echokinetic 2011-11-29 01:58 am UTC (link)
	"Sylvia? Well, why didn't you say so? Mi casa et su casa, amigo." Grinning at him, she nods. "Yup. Just call me Echo the Dolphin." "Tenant, student, it's all really the same. And as long as we're accepted here, I don't see the problem." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"She has been very..generous to me. If you are a friend of hers than I'm certain she will be happy to see you. He pauses. "As I said, it is complicated. Still, your optimism does you credit." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hey, it's either float on the highs or dig your own lows. So what's got you trying to hide around corners from helpless and pitiable blind girls?" A small smirk as she looks over at him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He starts a little, eye twitching for a moment, but he fights the impulse. "I was unaware of you ocular situation. My..appearance tends to put off those unaccustomed to dealing with those outside their ideals of normality." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Puh-leeze. Like I said, I grew up here. There's no such thing as 'normal', and I'm not going to be all flaily and horror-girl screaming at anything. I judge people by their actions." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Perhaps so, but one never knows who will walk through that door. Still, that's commendable." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Don't go making me sound all noble or anything. I can still be shallow and ridiculously material." She grinned and hooked her bag over her shoulder. "Wanna come up with me while I throw this in my room, or you gonna go hide away again?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	They will be interrupted by a cry of "WEEHAWKEN!" Fred could, understandably, not be expected to understand old science fiction references involving humorous situations involving bats-to-human translation. Sasha, knowing Sylvie, will have heard it before, as the school's favorite sometimes-wheelchair-bound linguist, will be crawling her way over. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	You know, googling that comes up with a town. :/ NOT HELPFUL! :) echokinetic 2011-11-29 02:30 am UTC (link)
	The sound surprises her, but she turns with a wide, beaming smile towards Sylvie. "Well, look what drug herself in.." She moved over to her, swooping in for a bonecrushing hug. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Fred blinked, unsure of what to say. "I..why would..I've..never been up there honestly." Fred jumps in surprise at Sylvie's sudden entrance. "Hello..cousin," he says trying to catch his breath. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Obscure reference is obscure; I'm sorry. :)

"Sasha!" And there will be hugging, with all four of Sylvie's arms.

"Hey Fred. Do yourself a favor and read Alfred Bester's 'The Animal Fair.' You'll enjoy it. Sasha hear, like the story's protagonist, speaks Bat. Besides, there's a bit with moles arguing about the Big Bang versus steady state cosmogony theories; it's a treat. Anyway, Sasha, you have to tell me everything."

	"Everything? Sheesh, girl. I just got in. No bath? No cookies? No cuddle time?" She heaved a sigh, dramatically resting a hand on her forehead. Turning back to Fred, she smiled. "You really should. It's a laugh." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Evol! dark_scion 2011-11-29 02:53 am UTC (link)
	"I'll have to schedule it on my to-do list," he replied dryly. "I can see you two have catching up to do. So I'll give you some privacy. A pleasure to make your acquaintance, Sasha." He gives a nod and turns to head back to the lab. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Evol! quadrimanial 2011-11-29 03:39 am UTC (link)
	"Thanks, Fred! See you at supper!" "And of course there will be cookies, Sasha. But that's CAit's job." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	echokinetic 2011-11-29 03:44 am UTC (link)
	She waves at Fred as he leaves, wondering about him. Her thoughts were interrupted by Sylvie's next words. "Thank god. I miss her cookies like you wouldn't believe. You wanna come up and keep me company while I unpack? You can fill me in on your cousin.." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Madre de Dios, Fred is... Fred is an epic in and of himself. But he tries; he really does, and I really believe this can work out. It's just been...a little tough for everyone." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"'Splain it to me while I do the mundane task of unpacking." She slung her back back up her shoulder and grinned down at Sylvie. "I see I got a lot of catching up to do." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
