Fandom High Welcome Picnic, Front Lawn of the School, All Day: Part II

There were plenty of large umbrellas set up for those who didn't enjoy a good pelting of various summer related materials. Because some people are weird like that.

There was also a splendid selection of food and beverages under a canopy to keep from ingesting suntan lotion. See? Your faculty thought of everything. Except how to make the island behave.

That you'll have to deal with.

Don't think Karla missed that, either, Evan. "I ask 'A or B' and you answer, 'No,'" she teased. "Your teachers will love that."

Hmm. Interesting.

And now Evan was blushing, Karla. Blushing!

"I just don't have much experience with it," he murmured, wishing that maybe he could hide himself behind his book or something. "I always put more focus on other things I could do, not... really with that one, so much."

And there went Evan, admitting that he could do other things. He was not winning this one, today.

Karla wanted to badly to ruffle Evan's hair. So. Badly.

"You don't have to talk about any of the things you can do if you don't want to," she told him. "Not while you're here. Though I do think it would be foolish for you not to work on honing those skills while you can. As I said, there are several people on the island who might help with that. Jono, perhaps."

And that was right about the point that Evan squinted one eye slightly and grimaced a little, yes.

"Maybe, I guess?"

He was trying to come up with a polite way to say, 'but Professor Starsmore avoids me.' It wasn't happening.

"My uncle was training me with my powers back home. Well, with what he could, anyhow. Mostly fighting stuff..."

"But he's at home," Karla pointed out. Look at her, being all logical and stuff! "Would he want you to put off working on your powers for however long you're in school for?"
genesishero: (A bit uncomfortable)

"Well, of course not... But I signed up for a fighting class, and that's something, right? And I can train on my own. I mean, I don't need to bother anyone..."

Evan had this covered! See?

"Oh?" Karla asked, eyebrow raised. "I hadn't realized you'd mastered all of the basics already. Forgive me my error."

Karla wasn't using sarcasm, exactly. But her words did carry a heavy feeling of 'o rly?' with them.

If there was any more 'o rly' in there, Evan would have taken to hiding behind his book.

"You keep mentioning Professor Starsmore," he murmured. "But I'm pretty sure he doesn't like me."

Or, at least, the one back at the Jean Grey School didn't.
glacial_queen: (Understanding)

"Jono is one of the people I trust most on this island," Karla said softly. "And he's used to working with people who aren't quite sure of themselves."

She paused and then asked as delicately as she could, "Why do you think he doesn't like you? Is it because of the resemblance?"

"To... to Apocalypse?" Evan was barely murmuring now, himself. "I don't know. Maybe? He seems really good with the other students. But he always kind of just... ignores me. Not... not trying to be rude or anything, I don't think. Like... maybe he'd just rather not notice me."

Which was still a step up from the treatment the other students gave him over that.
glacial_queen: (Hugging for comfort)

Sorry, Evan, but you were going to need to move fast if you wanted to avoid a hug.

Evan was really, really new to this place. And so he wound up sitting there, suddenly encircled in a surprise hug, blinking.

And he'd lost his place in his book.

"Uh..."

It took him another second, and then he was forgetting about the book and hugging Karla back. There had been plenty of hugs back in Kansas. He knew how these things went, at least.

"What's this for?"
