_{[ He laughs, waiting for her to go past before following her himself. He's just hungry, really, not kicking her out. He's not good with being still either, and he didn't think she'd enjoy his pacing, so he would give himself something else to do instead. ]}

Dually noted. Hmm, I was giving that some thought. I think I'm the friend that judges your boyfriends - or girlfriends - and encourages bad behavior from time to time.

[passingthrough]

Trust me, that doesn't need to be encouraged. It happens just fine on its own. [Oh, okay, so not a fight. Just a walk. Good.]

These are the things you think about when left to your own devices?

[universal_charm]

Well, to be fair, the usual things that I occupy my mind with are moot now. I'm not exactly a Captain at the moment. Well, I am, but this is definitely not the Enterprise. It tends to come up as a topic of thought late at night, if that eases your concerns.

[passingthrough]

Just brand new concerns now. [She manages a smile though.] I know what you mean though. Having less going on is a lot to get used to somehow. Too much time to think is its own kind of problem.

[universal_charm]

_{[ He nodded. ]}

It's why I took up running. It helps me find my zen, you could say - my calm place. But damn what I wouldn't do for a mission right now or a planet to explore.

[passingthrough]

The augments were my mission. I guess I'll try for one with less stabbing. I already do a lot of training. [She'd kept the habit up all through the prison time too.]

[universal_charm]

Less stabbing is always a good thing. And maybe we can spar some time, if you want. It would help to have someone else to work with - makes things less monotonous.

[passingthrough]

You think you could handle me? [She raises an eyebrow.]

[universal_charm]

That sounds like a challenge, Miss Pryde.

_{[ He smirks at her, those blue eyes sparking at the suggestion. ]}

[passingthrough]

Or a warning. I think this might be the time we should have medical personnel around just in case.

[universal_charm]

_{[ He stretched his arms and cracked his knuckles. ]}

Don't you worry. I'm tougher than I look.

_{[ Which was now actually fairly true, thanks to his augmented blood. He wasn't super human, but he could take more punishment than the average person now too. ]}

[passingthrough]

[She still figures she'll have to play no powers, but it's not like her fighting skills are superhuman. Just really well trained and practiced.] You're on. Another time. Since you just took a shower and I'd hate for you to have to do all that again.

[universal_charm]

_{[ Well that would only be fair. It's hard to have a good match when you can't even get your hands on the person. Now, when they're in a fire fight he would encourage the hell out of it. But sparring it would just be mean. ]}

Hah, it would put something on my schedule, at least. Unless you're worried you'll lose?

_{[ He arched a brow at her, smirking. ]}

[passingthrough]

Not especially. Pryde's in the name, but I can handle losing. Not that it will happen, but I could handle it.

[universal_charm]

Oh, there it is - I can see it now. But you're on, Miss Pryde. I could do with a new challenge.

[passingthrough]

Running out of your old ones like hitting on every girl on the space station?

[universal_charm]

That's not really a challenge, that's a hobby.

[passingthrough]

I guess it's more exciting than scrapbooking.

[universal_charm]

The day I take up scrapbooking is the day you have permission to send me into the sun.

[passingthrough]

Sending you into the sun sounds like a lot of work. I have much more efficient ways of ending you. [She has the best banter, right?]

[universal_charm]

So long as efficient and 'will make it into the history books' are one in the same, you have my permission to do as you see fit to carry out your assignment.

[passingthrough]

Oh, sure, that I can do. [Trying not to think about this line of joking too hard. She's seen what someone can do when they make death...memorable. She doesn't want to think about being that kind of monster. But in this context no harm.]

All things considered you might want to just avoid the scrapbooking and save us both the trouble.
