[ She leaves a few gifts outside doors, after port.

First, for Charles, a Cheshire Cat that she won in an arcade game. They saw Alice in Wonderland for the first time together. Cheshire was always Raven's favorite. She doesn't leave a note. She suspects he'll know it's her.

For Alex, a blue furry monster, from something called Monsters University. It reminds her a little of Hank. This one is an impulse; she just leaves it by his door, unable to think of anything to say in a note.

For Erik, she leaves several vials of metal glitter. This one has a note: Thought you might find this fun. - Mystique ]

Would anyone be willing to teach dancing or gymnastics?

Love to dance. Tried to teach Stephanie a little before she left, wasn't entirely successful.

Ballet?

[megamind]

ahahah no

Oh god I hope Chris and Edward don't see this I'll never live the idea down.

No. Paired dancing; modern to ballroom.

[permutates]

Oh. I was thinking about ballet, but the rest might be interesting. What's modern for you?

[Charles isn't sure how long it's been sitting outside his door, but there's no question in his mind of who delivered the fluffy pink and purple thing. It seems like a peace offering, and it's hard not to get nostalgic, to remember when things were easier, and to wonder if maybe despite everything she'd said, that maybe Raven didn't completely hate and resent him.

So he brings it in his room and sticks it on the shelf that also houses the mug with Favorite Professor written on it that Jean got him for Christmas, and Tony's spare arc reactor, and God help anyone who tries to tease him for having a plush cartoon cat prominently displayed in his room.

He thinks about contacting her over the network, but isn't really sure what to say, so it's probably - maybe - good fortune that he crosses paths with her on deck a few hours later, and he sort of awkwardly approaches her, hands in his pockets.]

Thank you for the gift.

[ She's considering browsing the greenhouse again. Maybe she'll see Ivy -

And this is when she feels Charles approach. She's tense. She can't really help it. (She's blue-skinned, though.) ]

Oh.

I won it.

You're welcome.

[He stops, irrationally hurt by the tenseness. He's not sure how to move forward with this, and awkwardly reaches for something to say.]

I'm sorry I missed you. Did you have a good time?

Self-defense is more the rage.

[permutates]

I want to learn that too.

[insolubleriddle]

I may be able to provide, in that case.

Do you have any prior training?

[chlorophylliac]

Not my area.

[Harley would be all over it but we're not thinking about that.]

How are you settling in?

Private/Text/then imma be lazy too

[permutates]

Fine, mostly. Some things are harder than I thought, and some things are easier.

[chlorophylliac]

Things like?

[Now that is an interesting gift, and he nearly knocks it over when he first goes to leave his room. Instead, he floats the vials into his hand, and bends to pick up the note. his mouth quirks a little to see how she signs it, and he heads back into his cabin to grab his communicator.]

'Fun?'

[He's note entirely sure what he's supposed to do with glitter.]

[private]

[permutates]

It's metal. See how finely you can manipulate it. Or just glitter-bomb the hallway.

[private]

[wecanavenge]

[Well that earns a laugh, even if she can't hear it.]

Is this a suggestion from experience?

[intelligently]

What kind of dance? [ She's not offering to teach it, because she can't, but she's curious. Friendly conversation with a new friend ]

text.

[permutates]

Ballet, probably. Do you know any?

text.

[intelligently]

Nope. I learned to skate, instead.

[bodilesswarrior]

[She remembers it all; the movements of it, the balance, the style. But it doesn't matter much, anymore.]

You said you were interested in self defence, as well?

Text

[permutates]

Yes
