Jean half turned from him, back mostly to the fire, following his gesture.
“To be melodramatic, memories.”

“Or…communing to put it another way.”
A hand unconsciously straying to her source of the phantom pain in her torso.
“Did you need something?”
Keeping his arms folded, he’d nod at the obvious crackling flames.
“‘Preciate that. What’re you doin’ there anyway?” He’d gesture with his scruffy chin.
@ThePsionicNinja smile given Besty’s way, a small, pained, sympathetic little thing; the kind which mothers give children before finally ripping off the band-aid.
@ThePsionicNinja consumed them utterly and repurposed them into something useful.
“Please. Sit.”
A little huff of a sound, the corpse of a laugh she couldn’t summon fully, the hand gesturing to a pair of armchairs by a fire.
“I’d tell you not to be uncomfortable but this is just that.”

@WillOfVonDoom against the floor as she made her way to the steps leading up to the dais, speaking aloud once appropriately close enough — that being a distance she deemed respectable.
“Thank you for granting me this audience, your majesty. I speak to you know as a representative of Krakoa.”

@WillOfVonDoom The robotic voice of one his many identical servants heralded her as the doors to the throne room were opened and Jean stepped inside; her usual outfit traded for black, striped pantsuit, her hair worn up in a long ponytail, feet clad in heels that gently click clacked +
Jean’s features formed into a frown, her full pink lips drawn into a thin, pained smile, heavy with shared sorrow.
“Something like that.”
Her voice barely audible above the crackling flames.
“I’d offer to help, but I think I’d do more harm than good right now.”
He’d fold his arms casually as she’d turn to face him, a small half-grin pulls on his lips.
“Couldn’t sleep. Nightmares’ve been kickin’ my ass past few days. Guessing yer’ the same, or is there another reason yer’ up and about?”

Found a song with perfect lyrics for how I see Jean and Ororo’s whilst also finding active storm. 😭 It’s fate.
Ahem, said lyrics:
There's a devil at your side
But an angel on her way
&
That's how you'll leave
With hope in your hands
And air to breathe

A single gleeful greeting.

Jean turned on her heel to face him, no longer peering into the flames, giving him a tired little smile.
“Good morning or, well, afternoon now. You’re up late?”
@PURECHA0S but they don’t define us.”
The witch’s captured digits squeezed between redhead’s own, emerald eyes focused solely on the brunette, another little titter then, a self deprecating sound.
“If anyone would know the feeling, you’re looking at her.”
@PURECHA0S Jean’s head tilted to one side, her heart thumping in her chest as Wanda’s words unlocked a trove of memories, unpleasant ones, unspooling them like film before her mind’s eye.
“Wanda,” Jean began voice low and intimate “we have all done things that made us question such things+
@PURECHA0S Jean’s lips merely keep wearing that smile, all empathy shining through the emerald eyes focused solely on Wanda.
“Stay a while, wouldn’t you?”
A thumb across the Witch’s knuckles.
“See if we — if I can’t help convince you.”
