Roberto Da Costa It's a beautiful fall day on the grounds at Xavier's, the kind tailor made for an outdoor lecture on the Classical History. Roberto Da Costa, first born Scion of the Da Costa family and heir to the leadership of Da Costa International is stanidng in front of a group of younger students. They situated on the bank of Breakstone lake in a little ampphithetater type space that seems made for such gathering, a small lecture space in the open air. Roberto has the students attention as he comes to the end of one of his favorite poems, reciting the story of the 300 and the Battle of Themopylae. He smiles and claps his hands together, "And that's it for today students, Hank may be taking back over next week, depending how things break in my next few meetings. He smiles. and motions for the kids to head back to class as he looks around for Sam.
Sam Guthrie Sam Guthrie was listening, watching his friend. He stands out of the way, but close enough to be a part of things. He looks over to the other man and says "I am impressed you can talk about things for a while, and only told them how great you are once or twice. " He teases his friend "Seriously though you looked like you enjoyed doing that." He tells the other man, as he walks over towards him.
Roberto Da Costa Roberto da Costa laughs, and looks releived, "Was it only twice? It seem like it was more. Hank said I could do it three times before he would consider problematic." Roberto give a broad grin and throws his arms open, "Samual Guthrie, as I live and breath. It has been a dog's age since I have seen you." He stops and gives you the look, "Your Mom wants you to call more. She is worried since... " Berto shrugs, "I do enjoy it, but don't tell my Mother." He sighs, "I know what she'll say and I know what my role is. This", he indicates the departing students, "is just a diversion, an intriguing one, yes, but... The Professor told me they could use an extra ancient history class and someone to teach latin and greek. I wanted to keep tabs on Javier til he settles in."
Sam Guthrie Sam Guthrie nods, and will step in and actually give the younger man a hug and says "I am doing ok, she and I had dinner the other night, she is trying to find her place, and I am giving her space." He tells the other man. "I am sure we could find a camera so you can teach tele courses if need be." He looks over and adds. "Been keeping busy, between, classes, tending bar, and catching a few foot patrols in the city.
Roberto Da Costa Roberto da Costa smiles and nods slowly considering, "Yes, I'm glad you're making room for each other and I think it will work out eventually." Roberto gives you a small smile and releases you from the embrace. "That's a possibility, though I may be spending more time on the east coast. I have a deal going through to put an MLS team in Gotham. Have a meeting with the mayor. We're finalizing plans for a floating stadium. I am actually pretty excited, it's the biggest deal Dad has ever let me take the lead on.'
Sam Guthrie Sam Guthrie 's brow raises a bit at this and says "A floating stadium in Gotham?" He seems a bit unsure on that one but says "If anyone can do it you would be the one who could." He offers his friend some support on that one. Ah aint been out to Gotham in a while. Of you met Iara yet?"
Roberto Da Costa Roberto da Costa grins, "Thank you for saying so, Sam. Most people think any investment in Gotham is a losing proposition. My Mother's family has roots there and I want to give back like Papi did in Rio, he was one of the major forces behind the Rio Olympics." He shrugs, "The new Brasilian student? I have not met her yet, but I saw her surf a few times before."
Sam Guthrie Sam Guthrie nods, and says "Yea, she was a bit surprised when Ah knew a bit about Brazil, and spoke the language." He chuckles a bit and says "Seems a pretty good kid, hangs out a lot with Tabby, Ah think." He admits. He looks over and says "It is good to have you back, now we will have to find some time to hang out and find something to get into."
Roberto Da Costa Roberto da Costa smiles, "Tabs? How is the ol' firecracker? Well, that's good, wonder if she's heard of me?" He tries not to snort as he says it. "It's nice to be back Samuel, we will, maybe get drinks down in Mutant town or Coffee somewhere. I am sure we can find something to get up to, we always have before. Hey, Alexis is into wine, right? I have a case from a winery we bought in France if she'd be interested? Better than the Argentinian stuff we'd been stoking the estate with before."
Sam Guthrie Sam Guthrie nods, and says "Yea her grandparents own a vineyard." He tells the name of it, and it is one of the better names in wines, one Berto could drink but most can not. "Ah will take a couple bottles nest time Ah visit if ya got it with ya, and yea, Ah mentioned knowing ya." He admits. "Oh a bit of a warning, the firecracker's powers have expanded a bit. She has developed telepathy."
Roberto Da Costa Roberto da Costa bursts out laughing, "Telepathy? You expect me to believe that? Come on Sam, I'm not that green. I mean solar blasts and flight were a lot but... telepathy?" He looks at Sam, waiting for the pay off, "Wait? You're serious? How is that... I am not sure I even want to know. I will have to watch what I think, then." He smiles wryly.
Sam Guthrie Sam Guthrie says, "Thats why Ah figured Ah would give you the heads up." He admits. "She is doing pretty good, though she has gotten a bit more responsible of late. Ah got her waiting tables at Harry's since I was tending bar. Gave her a place where she could work on her self control some."
Roberto Da Costa Roberto da Costa smiles and nods, "Aww, it's good to see oir girl growing up. Did she graduate? How are the others? Dani? Jim? Yana? Rahne? and word from Xian or Doug?
Sam Guthrie Sam Guthrie nods, and will say "Took her an extra bit, but yea she did. Rahne, Jimmy and Illy are all around. Dani was but headed out not to long ago, and Xian and Doug been a while since they been about but keep in contact with them.
Roberto Da Costa Roberto da Costa hunhs, "Josh was right, you are the den Mother. Well, we are lucky to have you Cannonball." Berto smiles, "Come on, I brought some beer, the kind you like, we can sit out back and you can feel me in on the deets. Telepathy?! That's wild." Berto shivers. Berto starts to wander towards the house with Sam in tow for a longer conversation.
