Micola Maximoff has posed:
Things were starting to get back to normal. Or well, as normal as things tend to get for a Prince and a Tattoo Parlor owner. Micola had asked the zippy one if he wanted to head over to the beach for a late night walk. It would get them out and moving, which was always a plus when it came to keeping the white haired man from boredom. She'd kicked her shoes off when they hit the sand and she looked to him, "How have things been going?" she asks him.

Pietro Maximoff has posed:
Following suit, he stepped out of his shoes as well. Pietro was all too happy to walk along the beach with her - smiling as the two strolled along the sands. "So far, well. No problems with the people trying to harass you, thankfully." He winks to Micola. "How are things with you? Were you able to speak to the police force, regarding the schooling grants?" He wonders.

Micola Maximoff has posed:
Micola gives a smile to him, "Yeah, that whole mess was something I was hoping wouldn't happen, but I'll be fine. Nothing to worry about." the woman smiles to that. "And it caused you undo stress, so I want to find who leaked stuff and punch them in the eye." she muses to that as she gives him a smile. "Things are going well. I did get in touch with the police liasons and things. Just need to sign a lot of paperwork and things of that nature. I know it's not their fault, just still sorta sore about it." she sighs. She looks up to the moon, then back to him, "Is there anything that you'd like to do this Summer?" she asks him.

Pietro Maximoff has posed:
A chuckle from Pietro. "I assure you, if I find the person who leaked the information, they will be handled." A wink to her. "Breaking the law is breaking the law - it applies to policemen too." A bump of his hip to hers. "I wouldn't fret too much over it, though. It's just a matter of time before the police catch the problem person, honestly."

He nods, smiling as she mentions the paperwork. "I understand being upset still - at least they are being apologetic and offering you recompence."

He thinks, digging his toes into the sand a bit. "Well, travel is always nice. Perhaps we can work on some ink?" He grins to her.

Micola Maximoff has posed:
"Can you claim it as Avengering if they are found?" Micola gives a thoughtful look to him. "Though I guess we don't need to dwell on that since it has been thankfully quiet." she admits. "I'm excited to get more schooling, just not the way I thought I'd get it." she laughs at that. She gives a look down to the beach and there is something that catches her eye, "Ooo, a shell." she murmurs as she reaches to scoop it up.

"Could travel somewhere." she nods to that as she straightens up. "And I am happy to work on ink for you. I think I still need to get you some designs to approve, yes?" she grins at that.

Pietro Maximoff has posed:
A moment on that, and a shrug. "I suppose I can, yes." He says. "I would likely just be apprehending them and turning them over to the proper authorities." Pietro comments. His eyes track her as she scoops up the shell, watching her body move in his sped up perception. A smile.

"And for Lorna, of course. But yes, travel. Genosha would be lovely to visit, yes? Or if you had other thoughts as to where to go?"

Micola Maximoff has posed:
Micola reaches out to give his hand a squeeze, "Handing them over is best." she nods to that. Then there's a look over the shell she found, "Well, thankfully there isn't a little crab or anything that's going to pinch my nose." she muses. "And yes, not forgetting about Lorna." she smiles to that. "I've also been working on some ideas for the coat of arms that she is wanting." she adds.

"I'd love to visit Genosha. I'm happy to go anywhere really, especially if you are there." she winks at him.

Pietro Maximoff has posed:
Pietro gives her a grin. "I imagine a hermit crab would just back further into its shell, as opposed to pinch." A wink to her. "It's a matter of defense over offense. They'd be more frightened of us." He assures, slipping his hand into her open one.

"I can make arrangement for Genosha, if you like?" He smiles. "Perhaps it can be one leg of a trip?"

Micola Maximoff has posed:
Micola gives a bit of a grin to him when he explains the hermit crab to her, "You know...I've always wanted one of those itty bitty hermit crabs, but I'm afraid of finding more animals to take care of until there's more space." she admits. "You're also very wise, Pietro." she whispers to him as she twines her fingers with his.

"I'd be happy for you to make the arrangements. Maybe we can find some other places to explore after that." she smiles to him. She turns to him then, offering her other hand after she drops the shell in her pocket, "Would you care to dance, your Highness? The moon is full, the tide is low and I don't anyone is hiding in the sand to take pictures." she offers to him.
