Frustrations
One would find it unusual to see Fred sitting in the living room of the institute. They would likely find it even more so that the lights weren't even turned on. He was just sitting in the dark doing..nothing.

	"Is it going to stay like this?" She can practically feel how agitated he is, knowing he's likely more agitated to have something interrupting his work. "You know, if you want, I'm willing to help you out in your lab." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"This particular mutation happened once before, but went away after a week. However, that is no indication that it will be the same this time. It could go away..it may not." He tries to remain composed, though he's starting to sweat a little from strain. "I appreciate your offer, Sasha. Honestly I do, but..I need to clean it up. My work was safe, but I made quite a mess down there."

"Fred, that's why I'm offering to help. I'm sure if Sylvie had popped in here first, she'd do the same. That's what people who care about each other do, sweetie. You need help, we offer it. Mostly whether you want it or not," she grinned, trying to calm him somewhat. "I'll help you clean it up, then if you don't mind a dumb blonde around, I'll do what your hand can't."

	He finally looks over at her. "I..I suppose that could be alright." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Giving his hand a last pat, she stood from the couch. She didn't want to make him feel too crowded when he was still going through adapting to a new change. "Good. Then why don't I go get started, hmm? Maybe get the worst of the glass so you don't nick your feet." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He shakes his head. "The door requires a passcode. I'll need to go with you." He stands up, and growls rather loudly when he notes the arm. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She turns quickly at the growl, wondering what irked him this time. "What?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Whoa, whoa, don't get upset." She suddenly had an epiphany as to why he was working on stabilizing the mutant gene. Coming over, she gently touched his arm, stroking her fingers lightly down it as she looked up at him. "It will go away or it won't. It doesn't change you, Fred. You've become the czar of adapting to your changes; something I'm kind of impressed by. I don't think I'd handle it nearly as well as you do."

	He takes several settling breaths before responding. "When change is the only constant..adapting is the only way to remain stable." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	echokinetic 2012-02-18 09:24 pm UTC (link)
	"And you're kinda badass at adapting, Fred." She rested a hand on his chest, gently soothing him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	A light chuckle. "You think too highly of me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	echokinetic 2012-02-18 11:10 pm UTC (link)
	"Is that suddenly not allowed?" A laugh was better than a growl as far as she was concerned. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_scion 2012-02-18 11:16 pm UTC (link)
	"No, just..thank you." Some actual warmth finally entered his voice. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	echokinetic 2012-02-18 11:22 pm UTC (link)
	She gave him a wide smile, smoothing her hand over his chest before moving it down to take his hand. "Any time, sweetie. Now, how about we go clean up your lab so you can get back to work, hmm?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_scion 2012-02-18 11:34 pm UTC (link)
	"Very well." Another look at the sloth-like appendage, but he manages a calming breath this time. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sasha lifted the new hand, giving the back of it a kiss before turning and leading him off to his lab. He'd get through this... he had more than enough brains to figure this out. "Want me to make you dinner after we get this all sussed out?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_scion 2012-02-18 11:42 pm UTC (link)
	He seems to think on that. "I would like that," he says quietly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"How's your food processing working? Don't want to make you anything that won't agree with you." They made their way to his lab and she turned to lean against the wall and let him tap in his code. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_scion 2012-02-18 11:48 pm UTC (link)
	He awkwardly types the code in with his left hand. "I'm not sure..but several of my teeth have flattened so I assume vegetable matter is safe." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"How's stir fry sound?" She waited for him to get out of the way of the door so she could assess what needed to be seen to. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_scion 2012-02-18 11:54 pm UTC (link)
	"That should be fine." And he sheepishly gets out of the way, waiting for the reaction to the substantial mess his rage had caused. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Well, when he said he'd lost his temper, he hadn't been lying. Broken glass littered the floor, desks and tables had been overturned and she distinctly saw claw marks on one of the legs. "Well, at least you didn't bring down the roof, hmm? Now, you stay here. I'll sweep up the worst of the glass. It's a wonder you didn't slice your feet to ribbons already." Not that she'd gotten a good look at them, but she was hoping that was the case.

	"You'd better not have," she said with an arched brow as she gingerly tiptoed over the glass to find and get the broom. "Don't press your luck, sweetie. Stay over there until I can get this swept up." She had a feeling until his hand changed back - if it did - she'd be spending a lot more time down here, helping him with his manual work.
