Jimmy Hudson has posed:
    There's a flicker of an ember in the shadows behind the garage. Just a low glow of red light that signals the sizzling life of an end of some kind of cigarette that burns low and gives a that cherry light to the night. Though with the glow of the moon it's not too hard to see the figure of the man taking that drag.
    Tall to most but not to some, James Hudson is taking a small moment of time to consider the lay of the land. Not just the landscape, but how things have gone down lately. Especially with the missions running for the Asgard folk. Those had been wild. A small wince touches the man's features as he remembers the last then shakes his head.
    "A little too wild," He says to himself as he takes another drag on the clove cigarette.
    For now, however, he's pondering the old dead stump that stands out at the tree line far off toward the lake. A mess of a thing that causes problems and likely needs to be removed. Which is what inspires him to dig his phone out of his pocket and swipe it to life, tapping out a message and then clicking send once he's done.

Atrid has posed:
    Atrid approaches Jimmy moving at a slow and steady pace when he gets nearer the recent graduate sighs a bit pulling a Marlboro from his pack and using his finger to ignite it. "Hey sup?" He asks taking a long pull inhaling then exhaling.

Jimmy Hudson has posed:
    "Mr. Torsen," Jimmy says as he tilts his head to the side, nostrils flaring slightly though a smile creeps over his features. He lifts his chin a little and raises his clove up in brief salute of the man's approach then takes another drag.
    "Though I suppose now I can call you Atrid." Since James tends to call students by their last names. Sometimes with a title if they're lucky. Or in trouble. He tilts his head to the side, "How did your graduation go?"
    A shift of his weight to the other foot allows him to turn as he tilts his gaze back at the younger man. "Feeling all ready for the future?"

Atrid has posed:
    Atrid nods his head. "Yes you can call me Atrid. And it went well I guess, I mean no attack, no one got hurt or killed so I'd call it a win yea?" He asks taking another long drag. "Didn't know you smoked professor." He says with a laugh. "On second thought isn't smoking on the grounds not permitted?"

Jimmy Hudson has posed:
    A hand waggles a little as he lifts it, "Fair number of folks indulge." Though his nose wrinkles a little as he looks across the grounds, back at that damn stump that needs handling. He tilts his head to the side and murmurs, "Though to be fair, I only enjoy on occasion. Guilty pleasure."
    Shifting his weight to the other boot he rolls a shoulder, scowling a little at the crackle it causes before he adds. "Seemed like the ceremony went well, lotta kids headin' out, some sticking around. You gonna try and take up some work or head out into the world?"

Atrid has posed:
    Atrid takes another long drag exhaling and taking a deep breath. "Yea that's where it is, every one has a vice and a guilty pleasure yea?" He asks with a grin. "Besides life pushes forward with or without us. As for what I'm doing I'm honestly not sure if I'm striking out or staying on here yet." Atrid chuckles and shifts adjusting his black leather duster.

Jimmy Hudson has posed:
    "Not everyone," Jimmy says as he considers that distant stump, thinking terribly violent thoughts likely involving an explosive or two. Then his eyebrows rise as he tilts his head to the side, "Jean ain't got a wicked bone in her body. But maybe if you asked her she'd say somethin' like... ice cream."
    That said he grins and ashes his cigarette, then crushes the end of it to stifle the ember with a faint sizzle. He then looks at Atrid, "Speakin' of Jean, if you need ta talk to someone about your future, I reckon she's a good choice. You got some potential Atrid. Ya just need ta know where ta aim it."
    As he says that he starts to walk to the side, sparing a light thump to the other man's shoulder.

Atrid has posed:
    Atrid smirks and shakes his head. "Ah academics I'm good with but my true calling has always been in combat and fighting." He says honestly. "Fire and ice aint much good for much else ya know. Yea Jean might be good to speak to and I'm close with Rogue I could always ask her a bit too. But I ain't sure if further education is the right path for me at least at this juncture."

Jimmy Hudson has posed:
    "You do you then, Atrid." Jimmy says as he turns around to walk up the sidewalk backwards, spreading his arms a little as if to accept the young man's decision. "Xavier's students though always have a place to bounce back from with the school. So go out there, take a risk if needs be."
    Then he turns back and starts to walk on up the pathway. "I'm gonna dig around the garage some, catch you later. A'right?" And as he says that he's already moving around to the front of the garage and out of view.
