Micola Maximoff has posed:
Micola had went to see Lorna's talk a few weeks ago and now she had been dealing with all of the news that Captain America had died on top of all the Sentinel stuff on the Mutant front.

When did things get to be peaceful?

She'd gathered Sori and Lumi up and was sitting with them in there rockers in the living room to try to not think of things. And to ignore the ghosts that were at the corner of her eye. Her blue hair is a little mussed, but she's allowed to look half asleep with two girls! "There first birthday is coming up so soon." she states. She figures Pietro is not that far away. Or maybe it is just to calm herself.

Pietro Maximoff has posed:
He is not too far away, of course. There was a flurry of activity when Cap died - the Avengers of course going into re-structuring to better align with a new leader. It was tense, to be sure. Still, Pietro did all he could to shield Micola from that stress - not wanting to bring that into the homefront.

"I know. Time moves so quickly, yes?" He smiles, stepping in and sneaking a hug with his wife. "I am sure your mother, and grandfather, have all sorts of spoilings planned for them."

Micola Maximoff has posed:
Micola reaches out to hug Pietro and there is a soft sigh as she does, "It is moving quickly." she muses to the man. "Not as fast as it does for you I feel." she admits to that.

"And I don't think we've started plans yet. I wanted to see how you were feeling on things and well...I feel a little guilty celebrating some things when we've got strife everywhere." she states with a shake of her head.

"I know it sounds silly..." she whispers.

Pietro Maximoff has posed:
Pietro keeps her in his arms, nodding just a bit. "It goes slower for me. It takes an eternity." He murmurs. "But it is time I relish, being with you, the girls, and family." The speedster admits. "Everything moves in slow motion." A chuckle. "It can be maddening, but with you I can bear it."

"We cannot stop living when a friend passes. And we cannot hide in shadows when trouble threatens. We have to live our lives." He says, quietly. "It is not a silly reaction, at all."

Micola Maximoff has posed:
Micola gives a soft smile to Pietro, "Well...maybe we can find a way to make it balanced one day." she grins to that. "Speaking of family, I went to see the talk that Lorna was hosting at the Genoshan Embassy. It was good to see her again. There were a lot of people there." she admits.

"And I know, Cap was just...such a beacon." she tells him. "You are always the composed one of the relationship." she teases him.

Pietro Maximoff has posed:
He leans into her, with a smile. "Only on the surface. I assure you... I am not calm inside." Pietro explains. "How was she? Did you get to speak to her directly, or was she too tied up with the politics?" He wonders, finding a place to sit, taking Sori and rocking with her.

Micola Maximoff has posed:
"Oh I can understand that completely." Micola gives a soft laugh to that. "But I love you still for it." she tells him. Then there is a softer smile as he asks about Lorna, "She seemed well. And we did get a few minutes together. She said to send you her love and that we'd get together soon." she admits.

Pietro Maximoff has posed:
A quick kiss and a grin. "Good. She... seemed very on edge at the Spaceport. Understandably so, but I was hoping it wasn't something that was ongoing. That the ruling of Genosha wasn't draining her happiness." A slight chuckle. "We should do dinner with her, introduce her to the girls."

Micola Maximoff has posed:
"I mean...that Sentinel was absolutely something to be on edge about my darling." she admits as she gathers up Lumi to sit down on the couch next to her husband. "I think she might like that. I just...I want her to know that we are here outside all of the politics and things." she whispers to him.

Pietro Maximoff has posed:
Pietro has Sori in his lap, bouncing her a little on his legs. "I would love to a be a retreat for family, so we can just... be. No monsters, no fighting - just us being a family and normal." A wry grin. "Or as normal as we can be. There is so much in the world that tries to overwhelm us."
