The Mushy Stuff.
Lying on Andrew's bed while he was distracted by something, Gio was taking a brief afternoon break with a book of poetry in one hand and an apple in the other hand when suddenly she has to set the apple down and gnash her teeth. "What an idiot," she said, with more vehemence than more people tend to show against the protagonists of ballads. Apparently, after everything the heroine went through -- including sacrificing her life -- to get her beloved safely away from the enemy, he responded by charging right back in the midst of enemy territory, all rage, no plan, and was promptly killed as well. No respect for his girlfriend and her efforts at all. Moron.

She looks over to Andrew at his desk. "You are never pulling this nonsense on me. If I kill myself saving you, you'd better stay saved for at least a full day or you're going to regret it."

The passion of her temper might prevent Gio from seeing what a terribly weird subject this is to raise all of a sudden.

That gets a raised brow. Then he notices what she's reading.
"Mon coeur, if you ever kill yourself saving me, my life will be a much darker place, but I'll be sure to honor you by staying saved for as long as possible. I can't promise all that long though, I'd be lost without you." he replies in French.

Giovanna's face softens to the point of melting. And she's off the bed and leaning to kiss him. "I love you so much, Andrew."

After the kissing, she sighs. "You'd manage somehow, though, mon ange. There's a world to save."

He returns the kiss. "I love you too, Giovanna. I'd much prefer to save a world with you in it, though, so don't be in too much of a rush."

"I won't." She smiles. "It's a little less you-and-me-against-the-world now, isn't it? We have a guest, and a brother apiece in the area, at least, and people willing to keep up with you."

That gets a small grin. "I've always preferred to think of it as us leading the way, and the world will come along. Seems slightly less antagonistic that way. I'm also not going to count anyone else as allies til they say they are, but I appreciate knowing people are listening."

"A very good point." A pause. "How do you think your Dad is going to take Cassidy?"

"That I'm not so sure about. I'm trying to figure out how best to tell him in a way that'll make things as easy for Cassidy as possible. Sinister has already cost the family in so many ways. And Cassidy has the right to attend Xavier's if he wants... but dad won't be happy about that either."

Gio nods. "...Do you think he's safe there?"

He frowns. "No, but safer than we are here. He'd be safer on Genosha, as we would... but that's not the point. If he's going to come here, or go to Genosha, it should be his choice to do it."

"I'm not suggesting making him go to Genosha, mon ange," she says quietly. "Just worrying a little."

"I know, love. And its your job to worry... I appreciate it. Xavier's is as familiar with Sinister, and hate him as much as anyone in Genosha does. He's safer there than here... not everyone gets their own personal bodyguard."

"True," she says, smiling. "All yours, Andrew."
Then, thoughtfully. "If we ended up in the position to do... other things here, beyond fighting the bureaucracies and the bickerings... what sort of things would we do?"

"That is a very good question. Cassidy had some intriguing ideas... speaking to the younger crowd, rallies, being more public. With someone else organizing and putting those kinds of things together, I could make time. There's also simply attempting to perform good public works in a visible manner, without dealing with ratings or paychecks over it. I'd suggest we might start by helping to do some public service rebuilding 'Mutant Town'."

He nods, settling into the bed beside her more comfortably. "It would be a good place to start, though I'd want to balance it with other humanitarian efforts. Try and figure out more ways to help other persecuted minorities to make it clear its not just about mutants."

He considers a few moments. "Whatever we do, I'd like your input though. What you think we should do, what would serve our interests best... and make sure I'm not overreaching."

"Mmmmhm. Cassidy's idea was good, and you give great speeches, mon ange, but I don't think it's best to go straight to that. Better to start this getting more active with something where the cameras have to come to us, if they come. The volunteer work... you know, it'd be a nice break, in a way, working outside. If you're interested in visibility in different parts of the city, I can look at the listings for opportunities with," she smiles wryly. "Habitat for Humanity or something"

"I'll let you and possibly Cassidy work on that. I've studied a lot more of the political side of things. It sounds like a great place to start."

He nestles in comfortably and nods. "That it does. So far, I like him, even if he has a lot of getting used to things to do."

She cuddles. "I'll admit. I'll be a lot happier when he's got a more full grasp on control, when it comes to being around you. He absorbs a few things beyond the electromagnetic spectrum"

"Which is all the more reason Xaviers is good for him right now. They have better facilities for teaching control than we do. I'll be careful around him, though."

Gio looks at him with a bit of a 'mind drifting, love?' expression. "I'll accept it for now about Cassidy, but I was talking about Sengai. That nurse his father murdered was a former Xavier's associate; I doubt they'd be comfortable enough to make him comfortable."

"Yeah. Sengai's better off taking his time trying to figure thing's out here."

A soft little sound. "We have a couple hours before we have to get stuff done. Can I keep being distracting for a while?"
