Priscilla Camilleri has posed:
Priscilla had been...a bit odd about the last few months. Ever since someone had broken into it and attacked them. It was one of those things really. Safety and security was a top priority for her. Not to mention her father had hired more guards. Thankfully they had made themselves blend into things.

"Do you want to move?" she asked Henry one evening as they were sitting in the middle of dinner. "Do you feel...safe?" she asks him.

Henry McCoy has posed:
He had been there, taking care of her, whatever she needed as she mend up. He was aware of the guards, but said nothing. There's nothing to poke at the moment, and he expects she'll tell him in time.

"Move? Do you feel unsafe, Priscilla?" He wonders. "Would it be better if I were not here?" He looks about, a slight frown on his face.

"I don't want you in danger, of course."

Priscilla Camilleri has posed:
Priscilla gives a look to him and there is a soft shake of her head, "I don't feel unsafe, no. But once someone has broken into your home and assaulted not only yourself, but the person you love it tends to leave a bit of paranoia." she tells him honestly. "It would be worse if you were not here, Henry." she tsks him softly.

She reaches across the table to take his hand into hers, "This was not the start of a break up conversation, please do not think that. I just wanted to talk to you on things. I wanted to see if you were still comfortable in the apartment or if we needed to relocate." she tells him.

Henry McCoy has posed:
There's a nod. "I didn't expect or suspect it was a conversation about parting ways, love." Henry assures. "I was just more wanting to know how you feel." There's a bit of a wry grin. "My home is often attacked, either for me or the others that I used to reside with." A chuckle.

"I completely understand about the paranoia." It's true - Xavier's is a target for many.

"I want you to feel safer, and at ease. I doubt all the paranoia will leave - but I am hoping to make things managable."

Priscilla Camilleri has posed:
Priscilla gives his bigger hand a squeeze, "Good, because you're stuck with me." she grins at that. "At least until you find someone younger and prettier." she teases him. "I feel...angry mostly. Not at you. But at the people who did it." she admits. "I was also planning to talk to you about my abilities when it was...a better opportunity." she frowns at that. "But it's alright." she adds quickly.

"I am going to reinforce windows and things. I figure taking some extra precautions going forward isn't a bad idea. We both have people that want to hurt us, so just better to be safe at this time." she smiles to him.

Henry McCoy has posed:
There's a warm chuckle at that. "Stuck, I would hardly call being with you as stuck." Henry assures, with a wink. "I am angry as well, because you were harmed. They will likely be after me for some time - but you being hurt makes it untenable for me. I will be sorting it out, I promise." A slight smile. "Yes, your abilities. When you are ready, Priscilla. I am not going to pry."

"I can help with the fortifications. I've dipped my fingers into some of the more esoteric techs - alien and otherwise."

Priscilla Camilleri has posed:
Pris gives him a softer and warmer smile, "Thank you, darling." she tells him. Then she sobers a touch, "Henry, I am not some delicate piece of china that needs to be kept on the shelf. Things will happen. I sort of factored that into things when we started seeing each other." she admits. "My abilities are...it's better to explain when we aren't having dinner." she admits.

"Esoteric techs? Now I'm jealous." she muses to that. "Can you play hookey from work tomorrow?" she asks him.

Henry McCoy has posed:
"I didn't take you for a damsel in distress, Priscilla. All the same, it infuriates me when you are harmed." The man mentions. "Things will happen, I am sure. And I will always strive to ensure your safety, as you do the same for me." A smile.

"Yes. I've got some connections from my Avengers days." He winks. "I can take tomorrow off, yes. Did you have plans?"

Priscilla Camilleri has posed:
Priscilla gives him a smile, "I can understand that, Henry." she tells him. "But yes, we need to have plans in case there is another incident. I'd rather we work together on this given we're a couple and it is our space." she adds.

There is a soft shake of her head, "No, nothing big. I was thinking we could use the time to sleep in, get some decadent breakfast somewhere and then come home and I'll explain my past a little more in depth to you." she tells him.

"But that's tomorrow. I'm going to go grab our dessert tonight." she grins to that as she gets up and heads to the kitchen to get said desserts!
