Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost's enforcer has been out for a few days, allowed to wander and explore as she wished. Given a preloaded card with quite a bit of money on it to suit her whims while going on. So after some time she's returned on her own. Emma is waiting for her up in her penthouse suite. The blonde is seeming rather relaxed, humming, with a cup of wine over in front of her. The freezer in the penthouse has been well stocked with what Emma has found to be Divine's favorite ice cream, and there's some of her favorite chocolates ready.

Divine has posed:
Divine uses the door, for once, although she often simply flies from the balcony, but it's better for others to see her and get used to her as Emma's companion and bodyguard. She has a black leather jacket with silver studs, a t-shirt emblazoned with a skull and dark makeup, incluing black lipstick. Usually, if guarding Emma in public, she wears a formal men's style suit, all in black with a red tie. She opens the door and makes sure the security codes are set (not that anyone could threaten the two of them in tandem, in Divine's opinion) and can't help but smile as she sees Emma. "I travelled on the subway. I do not know that I will do that again. A man exposed himself to me and a young woman tried to pick my pocket. I did not break her arm, I think she was poor and sad. I'm glad to be back."

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost would let Divine enter on in and smile, "Hello there darling. I do hope that it was an instructive experience. And good tos how some level of self restraint. The authorities can be so annoying to deal with." she would move to offer her arm out to Divine to take and walk her in. "I'm glad that you're back and you had some interesting times. Would you care.." She would point over at the plate of chocolates setup. "Or there's ice cream in the freezer. We could orderout some pizza if you'd like."

Divine has posed:
Divine is surprised and pleased by the care Emma has taken to welcome her back, a bit of a flush in her pale skin. "I would like that very much, if you would enjoy it as well," she says, her impossibly strong hand resting in Emma's delicate grip. "I believe I should save the ice cream for dessert, as is custom," she says. She takes off her jacket, showing the shirt to be sleeveless, accenting her powerful arms.

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost would smile, "Oh, I'm fine dear. It's for you to enjoy. It might take some time to get here but you can reheat it when it arrives." Things got delivered by drone, no real bother to have them go through all the entrance the slow way after all. "Or you can fly and pick it up. And you're looking very well dear. Have you been sunbathing?"

Divine has posed:
Divine considers the idea of bathing in the sun and then remembers the idiom, "Not specifically, but I have been outdoors very much. I am fully charged with solar energy, I believe," she says. She can, of course, reheat pizza easily enough with her heat vision. "I'm glad that you find my appearance appealing," she says with a slight smile.

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost would nod at Divine, "Of course. Do you find it relaxing darling?" Giving a smile, "Lovely. Then please order what you wish from wherever and we can have it sent in." she would fold her arms and legs together while seating. "And is there anything you might care to do in the city or elsewhere now that you're settling in some?" She did dote on her personal muscle.

Divine has posed:
Divine considers, "I am uncertain. Perhaps going to a movie. People seem to be very into movies, although I am not sure I see the point of watching others pretend to do things. I prefer truth," she says. She makes no move yet to order food - she enjoys it but doesn't particularly require sustenance, it's merely something she does for pleasure. "Is there anything I can do for you?"

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost would smile, "If you wish that can be arranged. I can book us a theatre so we can have it to ourselves if you would wish. And yes, I have some things that you can do for me. NOne of them are of an immedaite nature. I want to have you more acclimated to the world at your interest." The poor girl with most of her life taken from her hit all Emma's chords for someone that needed guidance and protection.

Divine has posed:
Divine inclines her head in thanks, although she is also unsure as to what to do with herself. She takes a seat carefully next to Emma and lean back into the seat, "I am growing more comfortable. It took some time to adjust my senses so the world was not so overwhelming, but you helped me with that," she says, Emma's telepathic guidance helping her master those abilities.

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost would nod over. "Good. I think that it's better to feel thigns for yourself rather than me necessarily giving it all to your mind." Her tone is gentle over as she lets Divine sit next to her. "And I've found movies to be somewhat amusing. Never quite as chaotic as real life can be. So they can be a relaxing escape and let us imagine calmer worlds."

Divine has posed:
Divine considers, "I can understand that. The outcomes are usually expected and predictable and safe. Humans feel very frail and vulnerable. They take comfort in the idea that all will be well in the end," she says. "And I like it when you are in my mind," she says simply.

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost would smile, "Thank you dear. That's the sweetest thing." For a telepath, having someone that trusted them so much to let them freely into their mind was one of the ultimate expressions of faith. "I suppose not all of us can be remotely as strong as you are my darling."

Divine has posed:
Divine flushes again a little. Emma had helped the word make sense to her, given her a place to live, a job to do. A purpose. She was extremely grateful and gratitude isn't something that came naturally to her. On her own, a confused and lost Divine could have been a very dangerous thing. Well, she's still a dangerous thing, just one under Emma's direction. "You are strong in different ways," she says.

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost would nod gently, "Yes, not everything is physical. Of which you are plenty to make up for it. You are a lovely, powerful thing." Her voice soothing and proud. "And I'm glad that you've decided to stay wtih me." And be under her protection. She was to Emma a lost soul.

Divine has posed:
Divine couldn't imagine leaving. For what? To where? Sometimes she was curious about the other powerful ones, the ones whose powers were so similar to her own. There must be some connection there. But their very similarity made her wary - they might be as strong as her or even stronger. She might not be safe. Perhaps they would be angered by her very existence. Better, for now, to stay with Emma, where she was safe and where she had purpose. "I belong here," she says simply.

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost would stroke her hand up and through the hair of Divine, "Good. That means the world to me darling. I'm glad that you're here. And if you have wishes for things I can do to aid you.. Meeting others, talking to them.. I'll do what I can to try and arrange it. But now.. I do believe that we have to order pizza." She would grin, "Then you can have your ice cream and chocolate, and perhpas we can find something to watch." Sleepover!

Divine has posed:
Of course Emma knew what she was thinking. While Divine had already begun lessons on how to protect her thoughts, those lessons didn't apply to Emma. She was utterly open to the pristine socialite. She reaches down to her phone and goes to the app, having learned how to operate this device so she can fit into the world better, finding a delivery service to bring her a Meat Lover's pizza, "Thank you. I will have my sweets now."

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost would smile, "Of course. If you ever wish it. And I'm glad to get to have time with you." She would lean in and rest her hand over on the shoulder of Divine. "And after tonight, I can give you an assignment that I want to see how well you perform. It will involve a bit of subtlety and I wish to test you."

Divine has posed:
Divine has a hint of nerves. Subtlety was not her strong suit. But she would do her best to please. "As you wish," she says softly, that hand on her shoulder seeming to give her a boost before she partakes of one of the chocolates, letting it melt over her tongue as sh closes her eyes to savor it. The powerful creation clearly had a sweet tooth.

Emma Frost has posed:
That's why Emma was giving it to her. Because it would be an effective test of Divine's abilities to adapt and to use her powers creatively. Or to use other thigns to her advantage. "I'm very glad you enjoy those." The joys of having one's personal chocolatier.

Divine has posed:
Because she doesn't need it for substance, Divine's body converts food almost instantaneously, allowing her to indulge relatively endlessly. Whether that meant she was never hungry or always hungry would be a matter of debate. She takes each decadent treat, one after the other, almost performing them so that Emma can experience her satisfaction vicariously, some of them with cream fillings that melt in her mouth, others with nuts or candies,

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost would let out a sigh over of appreciation. The indulgence was a wonderful thing. To ake the time to appreciate it, it flowing over her and letting her partake. DIvine getting a strong sense of approval rolling off of her while the Kryptonian clone went to nibble on them ever so daintily.

Divine has posed:
Divine was not normally prone to noticing the feelings of others, but she had become attuned to Emma in ways that sometimes surprised her. Her hypersenses let her hear Emma's heartrate and the rush of her blood, sense the temperature of her skin, the pace of her breathing, the scent of her endoocrine system, hormones and glands guiding her actions. Humans were such complex beings. She finishes the last of the chocolates and sighs, settling back into the couch, "That was most pleasing," she says softly, tongue swiping the last remnants of chocoate from her lips.

Emma Frost has posed:
The two meshed together very well. Emma's telepathy and Divine's hyper senses. Emma had learned over time how to attune herself over with Divine. How to use her telepathy to help coordinate the girl and pass along information to her, while getting things relayed to her. The rapid thinking and analysis the two could do in a combat meld making Divine ever, ever so dangerous. "Lovely darling. So what sort of thing might you wish for us to watch together?"

Divine has posed:
Divine smiles slightly, "I am unsure. I don't even know what the choices would be. I will defer to your tastes. You always know what's best," she says. She sits comfortably close to her patron, shoulder to shoulder, her long, tall body languid and loose as they prepare to watch something together.

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost would go to settle in with Divine and smile, "Very well now dear. I suppose that we can watch something.." Her mind would flick through various choices. Searching for something that wouldn't necesarily be too close to life. Settling on a romantic comedy while the two would go to let the stream start and pizza to arrive.
