Touch the sky...
Since she's gained control of her powers, Rogue has missed the high places. She wouldn't ever trade the flight for the control over her powers but there are days where she wishes she could take off at will, to soar among the clouds. It was easier to think, or easier not to think, when she was flying. Instead, now, she has to make do with climbing as high as she can manage. Usually, that's the top of the school and the mansion.

Today, she's up there, taking in the sun and the wind, watching the work going on around the island. She tries to take a little bit of time every day to come up here but today, she's been here too long and she knows it.

	And suddenly, there's a figure surrounded by crackling green-gold energy rising to meet her. "Good afternoon." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Exodus." Rogue looks over at him, giving a small smile. She pushes back the hood she was wearing, "How are you today?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	preyforheaven 2011-04-26 03:25 am UTC (link)
	"Well enough," he says. "I would much prefer to be done there getting something done, but He and I have been asked to refrain temporarily." Pause. "May I?" he asks regarding taking a spot on the roof. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	steelmagnolia 2011-04-26 03:28 am UTC (link)
	She nods in response, a small smile. "Ah hope that you'll get the opportunity soon." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	preyforheaven 2011-04-26 03:35 am UTC (link)
	"Thank you. As do I." He sits. He is uncertain what to say. He is not a fool. He is aware that Rogue and his liegelord were Close briefly at some point, but it was before his own salvation. "It is an excellent view." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Ah like comin' up here tah think. Ah try tah set aside some time for it every day. It helps me tah try to clear things up." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	preyforheaven 2011-04-26 03:44 am UTC (link)
	"That is reasonable. A... sense of perspective." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	steelmagnolia 2011-04-26 03:48 am UTC (link)
	"Everyone needs one. Of course, most of the people who need it most are the ones who don't think they don't." A small shrug from her as she looks out toward the fields. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	preyforheaven 2011-04-26 03:54 am UTC (link)
	A pause as he parses that statement. "...Are you intending something to be inferred from that?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	steelmagnolia 2011-04-26 07:06 pm UTC (link)
	Her brows draw together and then she gives a short chuckle, leaning back against the roof. "If Ah was gonna tell yah somethin' like that, Ah'd be a bit more direct." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	preyforheaven 2011-04-26 07:09 pm UTC (link)
	He relaxes slightly. "Excellent. My apologies; it is slightly difficult to understand people's intentions of late." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	steelmagnolia 2011-04-27 03:23 am UTC (link)
	"Any particular reasons that you've noticed?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	preyforheaven 2011-04-27 03:39 am UTC (link)
	"...Most likely being surrounded by people I had previously assumed to be mentally ill, present company excepted." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	steelmagnolia 2011-04-27 03:44 am UTC (link)
	"Ah think that there was a similar assumption the other way as well, if not worse." Rogue chuckles softly, "Ah mean, Ah know Ah'm crazy and yah sort of have tah be tah be an X-man but the same has tah be said of the other side." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	preyforheaven 2011-04-27 03:46 am UTC (link)
	A bit of a 'hemph' sound. "You are far more sensible than many," he says. "You have excellent taste." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	steelmagnolia 2011-04-27 03:50 am UTC (link)
	"That's also something which is up for argument." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	preyforheaven 2011-04-27 04:01 am UTC (link)
	A dismissive noise, as Paris has no rational answer to that, and the bright brittle spot deep in his eyes might well illustrate that. "Are there any restrictions on flying here?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	steelmagnolia 2011-04-27 04:02 am UTC (link)
	"Just don't buzz anyone and yah should be fine. Proper courtesy, as it were." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	preyforheaven 2011-04-27 04:07 am UTC (link)
	Indeed. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	steelmagnolia 2011-04-27 04:10 am UTC (link)
	"Ah miss it some days." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	preyforheaven 2011-04-27 05:29 am UTC (link)
	"I am afraid I do not entirely know why you no longer can." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	steelmagnolia 2011-04-29 02:44 am UTC (link)
	"Mah powers. Ah have control of them now and that meant that Ah lost Carol's powers that I stole from her." Rogue shrugs a little bit, "Ah do miss it but Ah'm not gonna borrow someone's thoughts just tah fly for an afternoon." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	preyforheaven 2011-04-29 02:50 am UTC (link)
	"I see. My congratulations and condolences on the accomplishment, and the loss." "It is conceivably possible for two to fly if one has sufficient power. There are people you could ask for some time in the sky if you did not mind their company." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	steelmagnolia 2011-04-29 03:03 am UTC (link)
	"This is true. There aren't a lot of people Ah'm comfortable askin." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	preyforheaven 2011-04-29 03:05 am UTC (link)
	"That is understandable," he says, looking out over everything. "Trust is a difficult thing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	steelmagnolia 2011-04-29 03:07 am UTC (link)
	"That and Ah hate bein' an imposition. Those two things combined mean Ah'm likely not gonn ask anyone about it soon." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	preyforheaven 2011-04-29 04:36 pm UTC (link)
	"I see." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	steelmagnolia 2011-04-30 12:12 am UTC (link)
	"Do yah?" Rogue's tone isn't doubting but it is more curious if he truly understands or he's just being polite. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	preyforheaven 2011-04-30 12:16 am UTC (link)
	Paris thinks for a moment. "If I understand you correctly, among those few whom you would trust enough that you would go up with them, you do not wish to interfere with their other priorities." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	steelmagnolia 2011-04-30 12:45 am UTC (link)
	"Mostly but close enough." Rogue smiles at him, "Though some times Ah still want tah just jump off the roof and have the wind catch me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	preyforheaven 2011-04-30 12:46 am UTC (link)
	He blinks. "With your current difficulties, that would not be a good plan, but... I understand, actually." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	steelmagnolia 2011-04-30 12:49 am UTC (link)
	"Oh, Ah know, but it doesn't mean Ah don't think about some times." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	preyforheaven 2011-04-30 01:01 am UTC (link)
	"It is difficult, when what feels right by instinct or habit is no longer a wise thing to do." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	steelmagnolia 2011-05-01 03:29 am UTC (link)
	"Completely." "That sort of thing gets people into trouble more othen than you'd imagine." (Reply to this)(Parent)
