thinking (Enter Dryad; incl. Rogue)
"Whatcha doin', sugah?"
"Sitting.... breathing.... filling up with sunlight."
"Mind if I join in? The air's so fresh around ya everytime ya doin' that"
"Nope"
Calmly, Rogue sat down next to Dryad who was facing the sun with closed eyes, enjoying the warm beams which fell on his green skin.
"So what about this meeting?" he asked without changing his position.
"You heard about it?" Rogue threw a surprised look at her friend.
He laughed finally opening his incredibly green eyes and winking at her. "I'm not deaf and blind, you know? Contrary to what most people seem to
think, I'm not strolling outside hugging trees all day long" Aran became more serious.
"What is it? I can tell from the look of your eyes there's something troubling you..."
The auburn-haired mutant sighed.
"It's really nothin' just.... we're playing the group forming game again and I got the bad feelin' those kids will be forced to grow up even faster than
they are now. Most of them got such a terrible past, I wished it'd be possible to give them some more years without fighin' and all."
"Don't underestimate them... or better us. And maybe having something to do is a better way of coming along with our situation than trying to be a
happy family."
With a sudden grin he added: "Plus many of us are pretty eager to test our skills outside the Danger Room!"
Dryad got up slowly reducing the green pigments until his skin had a white human's color again.
"Anyways, I need a drink... water, chérie, just water!"
Rogue, who had raised an eyebrow nodded in a faked nonchalently way. "Not that I'd care if you'd get drunk that early... and if you talk like that you
sound like Remy."
A teasing grin appeared on Aran'kla's face. "Ah oui ma chère?" Giggling, he escaped to the mansion.
The fists in her hips trying to appear angry, Rogue followed Dryad with her eyes until he was out of sight.
"Kids!" she muttered amused, knowing he was anything but a child.
Seeing groups of students walking towards the front hall, Rogue got moving.
*Seems the meetin' is starting... and some co-leader gal didn't hear about it* she thought accusingly yet not really in a serious way.
Gracefully, she lifted herself up in the air and flew to the entrance. Coming too late would hardly be a good beginning...
