"That would be a true shame. You've been growing it, haven't you? And you have such lovely hair..." She gave Rogue a critical look. "But, another style would be nice. Perhaps if you shave only a portion..." She paused thoughtfully. If you get started you may end up with a mohawk, Rogue.

[touchofrogue]

Rogue breathed out a brief laugh, "An' end up with a mullet? I'm tryin' ta overcome those stereotypes."

[calmbeforethe]

"Well, who knows, Rogue? Perhaps you will start a trend of your own."

[touchofrogue]

"Wouldn't that be a sight," Rogue said, her smile fading. Her gaze drifted away from Storm to the edge of the roof.

[calmbeforethe]

Ororo let the silence fall between them for a few moments. So when she next spoke, she kept her voice soft and non-intrusive.

"I take it you've heard, about Remy."

[touchofrogue]

"Yup. Got a special delivery an' everything."

[calmbeforethe]

"I expected you might have. So did I." Ororo smiled wryly, shaking her head. "That boy is full of surprises."

[touchofrogue]

"He's full of somethin' all right," Rogue muttered.

[calmbeforethe]

"... I believe Kurt got one as well," Ororo continued, smiling a little at Rogue's tone of voice. "I'm not sure what his message contained, but the one I received was for Logan, too. It's all very curious."

[touchofrogue]

"It ain't really that curious, 'Ro," she stared out towards the horizon, scowling. "He's just a brat."

[calmbeforethe]

"A brat," Ororo followed her gaze pensively. "Perhaps. But he's young, and he also has potential."

[touchofrogue]

Rogue said nothing, chewing on the sour and painful opinions she held.

[calmbeforethe]

Ororo chose to fill the silence Rogue left, continuing to speak in low and contemplative tones. "Did I tell you that he saved my life on that mission, last November?" It was easier to dwell on better memories, after all.

[touchofrogue]

Rogue glanced at Ororo then, not because of Remy saving her, but because anything that put Storm in serious danger had to be significant. "No."

[calmbeforethe]

Ororo nodded and continued, making herself comfortable next to Rogue.

"Well, they'd put a Shift on our powers, then. And the mission involved firearms." She raised a brow at Rogue as if to say, could you believe that? "I was careless, and ran low on ammunition when I'd been separated from the rest of my group. Remy dropped in, thankfully, just as the enemy lines were drawing a little too close for comfort. And we worked together, after that."

[touchofrogue]

Rogue nodded and then glanced back out over the horizon, a muscle in her cheek working suspiciously as if she was chewing back words. "He's always been a dab hand in a fight. If he chooses ta throw his hand in."

[calmbeforethe]

"That's true. I thought as much, myself." Ororo turned her eyes to the horizon herself, wondering. "I thought it a shame, really, that we started out at odds with one another." She was warming up to the idea of him being an ally. It would be nice, she thought.

[touchofrogue]

"That boy would find a way ta get on someone's wrong side just for kicks."

Yeah, a real shame.

But it was who he was, and there was nothing to say about it. She knew all too well what he thought of the professor's dream.
