A Matter of Duty
Sengai Senyaka showed no disconfort as his plane landed. He was his father's son after all. He'd never left his home in Sri Lanka, but his father deemed it necessary.

"there's nothing more I can teach you. You must go to those better equipped to empower you than I. My old lord can help you. You will be the means of healing an old wound and doing me proud."

Sengai knew he was not only helping himself, but doing his father a service as well. He would fulfill his duty, but did not mean he'd have to be cheery about it. He ignored the looks of intimidation and awe he received. His sash and glowing eyes made him stand out, even among mutants. He was continuing his father's legacy, he wore it proudly, and felt no need to make others more comfortable. The other passengers cleared the way for the intimidating young man as he deembarked,

"Good answer, we might get along. But before this can go a lot further, I think, more than training with powers, what you need if you're going to find a cause is a sense of scope. Gio, mon coeur, do you think you can spare the time to help educate him in what's come before?" Implied: without too much political slant.

"When you know what's being fought for, its a lot easier to find one's own place in the fight. And I'd rather you make that decision on your own."

	Gio manages to contain a schoolgirl sigh at all of Andrew's eloquent, sincere integrity. Shes' a professional. She does smile wryly when he asks. "Yes, mon ange. I can manage." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sengai raises an eyebrow at the interaction. Clearly the two were intimate. He felt a small pang of envy. It was hard to attract a woman when your eyes gave off enough to power to burn if you got too close. He cast the unpleasant thought from his mind. "I am ready upon your say so."

"You sound like it. Alright, I'll make arrangements to have you put up in a nice hotel room with computer access and a DVD player, and send you a variety of the writings on mutant-human relations and the conflicts associated with it. Magneto's trial, the media appearances and what memoirs are published of Charles Xavier and Henry McCoy, and whatever else I can find that covers the history without straying too much. Giovanna can assist you and answer questions.

I don't expect you to agree or disagree with my position, all I ask in return is honesty, as you decide where you're at. Either way, I can respect those I disagree with for their convictions, and can help those who can help me and mine."

	And Gio is a good girl and bites her tongue on commentary about how useful Xavier's memoirs, with their half-truths and cover-ups, will be. She just nods to Sengai and pours the tea. "And we can still start on some practice sessions fairly soon. I know a few spaces that would be safe." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well in that case," Sengai begins, pulling his sashes back around his face. "I'm ready when you are." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Mon coeur, I just have a lot of reading to do today. If you'd like to have something a little more interesting today to do than watching me read and answering the phone, by all means. It sounds like our new friend could use the help." (Reply to this)(Parent)
