Roberto da Costa has posed:
It's been a long few days as Roberto sits in the Brownstone's spacious office going over emails and reviewing paperwork. The a holographic representation of hos workflow showing projects, concerns and priorities in a variety of ombres. He is sipping cognac from a snifter as he works.

Raven Darkholme has posed:
Raven had never been one for tradition, though lately she had fallen into a routine that could be considered traditional. She'd get up in the morning, shower, dress, then contact Ritz and be teleported up to the Asteroid. At the end of the day, she would arrange to be teleported back down to Roberto's Brownstone, sometimes into the living room, other times into the bedroom. It had become the pattern, and when she arrived, on the evenings she could return, she always offed a cheerful, "Hi honey, I'm home." in the perfect copy of the Leave It To Beaver husband.

Today was no different, save that she arrived with a tablet in her hand. Normally she didn't bring work home with her, for some reason today she had.

Roberto da Costa has posed:
Roberto da Costa smiles and tilts his head. Raven never showered alone, regardless of the time Roberto rose to shower with her. He even met her on the Station from time to time and he always brought food when he did. And he always met her arrival with the same remark, or at least varitions on a theme, "Oh Ward, you spoil me." "Is it time to be hard on the beaver already?" "Ward, you damn fool kiss me!" Today he had chosen, "Oh Ward, how lucky Iam to be yours." He noticed the tablet and raised eyebrows inquisitively, "Special Project?"

Raven Darkholme has posed:
Before the answer is given, Roberto gets a hug and a light kiss. Some traditions were worth having after all. Once he was properly greeted, she turns the tablet over and sets it on the table.

"Ever since Queen Lorna announced all mutants were legally citizens of Genosha, we're having a larger than usual number of requests for rooms on the asteroid," she says plainly. "H and D are working over time on taking names and locations, so I'm helping with some of the background checks."

Now Roberto is given a more intimate kiss, since both of her hand are free and she can properly hug him. "How was your day?" she then asks.

Roberto da Costa has posed:
Roberto da Costa stands and returns the hug and light kiss. He listens attentively and smiles as he guides Raven into his lap returning that more intimate kiss with quite a bit of passion. Berto smiles brightly as he looks into her eyes and caresses her hair, Roberto wasn't sure when he had fallen for her but he did know he trusted her completely.

    "Productive, I sent that strikeforce you recommended after the source in Madripoor. They pulled the info but AIM reacted precisely how I expected. Also, I located another disgruntled employee. I'm meeting them tomorrow about the cure. I also got some leads on graduate research into the topic."

Raven Darkholme has posed:
Raven snorts softly at the mention of the cure, it seemed to be her go to reaction whenever anyone said 'cure'. Most she spoke to agreed that there was nothing to cure, but still it got called that so the snort always sounded.

"Sounds like a productive day," she agrees, keeping her arm around him before using it as a guiding system back to his chair so she might steal a set in his lap.

Most people thought of Raven as a lesbian because most of her partners had been female. That was a direct result of most of her male partners being, well... arseholes. Roberto was different, he was the first man in a very, very long time that she'd fallen for that at his core was a good man.

"Still no word on where Erik is," she states softly once she had settled in his lap. "And thus, I worry, the Brotherhood worries, Lorna does not worry but she has good reason to dislike her father..."

Roberto da Costa has posed:
Roberto da Costa smiles amd nuzzles Raven as she snorts, "Process?" Roberto had no interest in taking it but as a good man he knew there were some ot could help if it did what it claimed but so many more could be hurt. He nods and caresses her body, gently, sensually, he had of course heard the rumors but when he wanted someone, he pursued them. He pursued her.

    Roberto held her close, "I'm sorry. I know how much he means to you all. At least we know he's on Earth this time?"

Raven Darkholme has posed:
Leaning into the nuzzles, Raven places another soft kiss on Roberto's cheek. "You don't have to talk about Erik," she says with a chuckle. "Most people don't want to talk about him. He's been an ass, he's been a saint to mutants, then back to an ass, then he destroyed Genosha... I get it, I understand why people dislike him. But yes, at least this time he's on Earth, he just... may no longer be a mutant at all."

With the caresses, a soft 'Mmmming' sound escapes before she actually relaxes. Most of the time the blue-tant was tense, even when sleeping her body seemed to hold tension. There were so few people she trusted and felt she could be herself around, and thus that she could relax and let her guard down. Roberto had become one of those people.

Roberto da Costa has posed:
Mystique's body is perfect, perfectly proportioned, perfectly shaped, with a perfect amount of muscle beneath smooth soft perfect skin. At least as far as Roberto is concerned and he is vocal in his views. "He matters to you, he matters to me. Though, that is concerning. Still, he is hardly with out resources."

Raven Darkholme has posed:
Raven turns a little in his lap, adjusting so she can wrap her arms around him better and look into his eyes. Sometimes her more suspicious nature would rattle around in her head, which was evident by the raised eyebrow as she looked at him. She knew the truth though, Roberto's words were sincere, and that's why he was reward with passionate kiss. For the moment, the tablet was forgotten on his desk and it would likely remain there for the next several hours as her intentions from the kiss where very clear... the bedroom wasn't all that far away, but the desk was right there.
