Sengai was on his way out to a nearby restaurant. Angelo was out with Charlotte, so Sengai took it as an opportunity to familiarize himself more with the immediate area. He decided he'd take the elevator down to the ground level.

	Having just wrapped another diagnostic of the systems in the embassy, Simon had grabbed his jacket to make it to the elevator and go out for something to eat. Seeing Sengai, he gives the guy a brief wave as he approaches. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Sengai returns the gesture as Simon approaches the elevator. "Going down?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Finding somewhere to eat," he responds as he comes close, not making it clear if he heard the question or not but it was enough of an explanation. "You?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Same with me," Sengai replied before getting in the elevator. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Simon followed him in and pushed the button for the ground floor. "Where were you going to eat?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He heard pizza and across the street so he knew right away what Sengai was talking about. "Ah, that place is good. I was thinking of going there." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"In that case you're free to..," and the elevator suddenly screeched and stopped. "Simon, something has happened to the elevator." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	exploding_snaps 2012-10-02 12:04 pm UTC (link)
	"...Yeah." Fuck. He'd updated the computer systems and their firewalls so that the tech side of things would be okay and now the damn elevator wouldn't work? That was almost a basic! Argh. He jams the emergency button in frustration to try and call someone. The signal in the elevator was no doubt iffy. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He moves so Simon can see his lips. "Anything?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"If there was I'd hope they'd answer," he growled at the button. "And I don't think they'd appreciate us wrecking the elevator with powers just to get out." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Simon grumbles something and goes to sit down on the floor. No reason to stand if they were stuck here so long. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sengai joins him. He says nothing, for the moment content with companionable silence. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	exploding_snaps 2012-10-03 12:10 pm UTC (link)
	Simon is good with silence, so he stays quiet while he lets his frustration wash away a bit until he just sighs and stretches his legs out. After a while he finally speaks, "We have such glamorous jobs huh?" Because he didn't think the other embassies had elevator problems. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sengai looks up upon hearing Simon. "Indeed. We should get, what do they call it, hazard pay?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	exploding_snaps 2012-10-03 02:15 pm UTC (link)
	Luckily since everything isn't working it's rather quiet and Simon can hear better. "Yeah, but they'd probably only give us some if we get attacked more often. So far it's been lucky." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It has been..odd. I've been trained for war all my life, but when I get here..it's been relatively calm. This..quiet has been difficult to adapt to," Sengai admits. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He looks a little awkward, not sure what one said to that. "Sorry to hear it." "So how's it been for you? New York, Genosha, the job and all." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah, probably very different," he chuckles slightly. "Don't sweat it, New York takes a lot of getting used to. For everyone. That's not even including all our other issues." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	exploding_snaps 2012-10-03 03:02 pm UTC (link)
	"...Yeah. A bit," he shrugs. That was always an awkward topic for him. It was so hard to tell how people viewed it. Some held it against him, some were overly happy of having a former Xavier student with them, and some just shrugged it off. Yeah, very difficult to tell who was which category beforehand.

"My powers," Sengai answered. "I have difficulty controlling them at times." He opens his shirt a little to reveal the device given to him to keep them in check. "Without this my body instinctively pulls energy into it. I then have to release the energy in the form of constructs. Mother believed Xavier would be a better place for me to learn control. Father has nothing but contempt for Xavier and refused to consider it, believing that the Genoshans could help me just as well."

Simon has to clench his teeth to hold himself back from saying too much about Xavier. "...Xavier talks more about helping power control than he actually does. He talks about a lot of things he doesn't do," was all Simon managed. While he had excellent control over his powers, that wasn't from his time at Xavier's. Besides, all that preaching about mutant and humans and peace was just talk. It was just hiding being a mutant is all, and Simon was sick of that.

	He doesn't say anything to that really because asking how long Sengai thought that was wasn't exactly polite. "Looks like you're stuck with us until then." Pause. "Though literally when it comes to me right now." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
