One of the private lines rang at the consulate. Giovanna answered the phone.

"Genoshan Consulate. Giovanna Bennet speaking. How can I help you?"

Sengai takes all this in.

"I admit I'm honored, but..Andrew, what would her father say if he knew just who was watching his daughter?"

"Isn't this just a *tad* on the dramatic side...?" She sat back down, picking up her cup of tea. "No one knows who I am...and I've never done anything to anyone."

"One, what her father might say is part of why she's here. She can make her own decisions. Two, some people certainly know. And our enemies include telepaths. I would really rather err on the side of caution."

He takes a deep breath.

"Very well, Andrew, if you truly think I'm capable of doing so..then I accept." He turns to Charlotte. "I will do my best not to be too..intrusive."

She gave him a wincing smile, "...we'll make it as easy as possible on each other. Deal?"

"I'm sorry if this is a shock. With these formalities out of the way... hopefully dinner will be ready soon. Let us know what you want beyond four walls and a bed, and we'll see about getting you set up."

Sengai finally smiled, a nervous but genuine one.

"It's a deal, Ms. Lensherr."

"Please..just Charlotte..or Lottie, all my friend just call me Lottie. I'm easy, I promise." Wow, zero to full blush in 5.6 seconds.

"To hang around with. I don't really do that much...I like books. Not really a security threat...well...depending on who you talk to..."

There is a clearing of a throat, as Angelo summons those present to the table. Heaping plates of seafood-fried rice, and salads, await.

"If you would all care to be seated." He smiles, waiting to hold out Miss Charlotte's chair for her.

Charlotte's eyes *lit up* when she got the first wiff of the food and it was enough to pull her towards the table without any prompting.

"Angelo, this is....amazing. This isn't all because of me is it?? You shouldn't of gone to the trouble..But thank you. So much."

Giovanna goes to the table and...suddenly her eyes flash brigh, glowing green. "I'll....be in my room for a few minutes," she says, not wanting to stare blankly at the dinner table during the conversation about to happen.

She readies the precise memory of what Andrew said to relay to Father as she goes to her room.

Andrew settles in. "Angelo, you've outdone yourself."

He glances to his Aunt. "Not at all. With Angelo around, he sees to it we eat well."

Angelo seats Miss Charlotte, putting a napkin over her lap, then serves everyone. He preens slightly at Andrew's compliment. "It was an easy dish to make abundant portions of, and that.. 'burger' M-- Charlotte nearly choked on earlier was a crime."

"You're going to join us, right, Angelo..? You've gone to all this work..." She couldnt help it, she couldn't wait any longer as she sat down, leaning close to smell the food, her toes curling in anticipation.

"He'll join us once he's content we don't need anything else and he hasn't forgotten anything. He'll wait to make sure we don't need any options for dressing, there's sufficient pepper..."

Angelo rolls his eyes to himself as he sits down. The items Andrew mentioned were all part of preparing a meal, which did not simply finish when the food was done cooking.

"I believe I am familiar enough with your habits to say you would have announced your needs by now." He says, fighting off all but a hint of indignation. "Charlotte, if you would like anything, just let me know. I believe Gio will not mind if we start without her."

"I hope she gives Father my best..." he mutters quietly.

"Are you certain it wouldn't be rude to start without her?" Sengai went ahead and removed his sunglasses. If he was going to guard Charlotte, she'd have to get used to his in any event.

"I'm sure Angelo would prefer we started while the food is warm, and she'd prefer to not be worried about us while she tends to business."

Glowing eyes were nothing to get startled by, not when you were born and lived on Genosha for almost 20 years. She just couldn't help herself, it'd been 3 weeks since she'd had a *real* meal, let alone one that looked so fabulous. She did her best not to just face plant in the closest dish and start chewing, showing enough restraint to parcel out a healthy portion of everything on her plate and the second someone else picked up their silverware as well, she was digging in, giving a little squirm of delight at how flavorful and hearty it all was.

Angelo just about floats as he can see Miss Charlotte's approval.

"I'd just gotten the crabmeat, shrimp, and scallops yesterday, and the seasoning is a new blend I've been wanting to try. I was planning on gumbo at first, but I had a bag of short grain rice I wanted to finish off. There is plenty left for seconds, if you like."

"It's perfect" she said behind her hand that covered her mouth as she worker to chew her huge mouthful.

"You're really talented, Angelo. I can't make brownies from a box."

Giovanna comes out, the glow in her eyes finally diminished. "Father sends his regards," she says. "And fortunately will not be joining us." She smiles at Andrew. "You get away with things again."

"I have a way with that." He had been pretty sure his grandfather would respond well to a bold stand. And was glad he was right. Magneto may not agree with him, but he understands strength.
