[open log] By the lake

Characters: Rogue, Logan, Julian, and open to others
Setting: By the lake
Content: Rogue's sitting by the lake because what happened in the Danger Room is still weighing on her mind. Individual threads please.
Status: Incomplete

[Rogue's sitting outside by the lake in one of the more secluded areas. She needs to think and doesn't want every other person stumbling over her. She's still trying to wrap her head around what happened in the Danger Room the day before the attack. Manifesting powers and various small personality traits for a while after she absorbs someone- that she can handle. Randomly manifesting Magneto's powers and temporarily losing control of her own body? Not so much. Try telling that to Logan...

She closes her eyes and tries to concentrate on Bobby's psyche and his powers. She tries to remember how it felt the other day when she lost control but nothing's happening. Maybe the air around her gets a few degrees cooler but that's it. And maybe she's just imagining it and secretly relieved at the lack of results.

It would be hard to tell what she's doing if someone didn't have an idea though. Because to most people, she's just sitting by the lake, oblivious to the rest of the world.]

[She manages another tight smile that's on the verge of being a real one but doesn't quite make it. But it's close.] Okay, if you say so. [She's trying to act like everything's okay. She really is try.]

[Okay, he just can't leave so quick when she looks like that. So he reaches down to brush the back of his fingers over her arm as he slowly walks past her.] You need any help with those papers, don't hesitate to call, sugar.

[She can't help but flinch instinctively at the touch. To try and cover for it, she rolls her eyes at his comment.] Thanks, but I think I'll manage just fine, sugah.

[Well, fine, Rogue, be that way. He raises an eyebrow and curls his fingers into a fist. His voice and demeanor aren't unkind, but he definitely recognizes the line she's drawing.] I'll see you when I get back, sugar.
