Reunion(s suck ass)
"You look good," he said, the calm woman seeming to fall out of her shell before climbing back in. "I was in Japan taking care of business and I came back by boat. And I borrowed a bike." If he was unnerved by her faltering and the uncertainty that wafted off her, he didn’t mention it, just kept looking at her with that easy gaze that came when he was in a place that he considered home.
Much as he disliked it, he had to admit that the place had grown on him. There were definitely ups and downs (most of those downs being the stupid kids crawling all over the place) but wasn’t that what any home was about? The things that made it yours… and the people…
He smiled kindly at her before taking a step in the direction she had been headed, not yet able to stop himself from looking. She’d always been a sight for sore eyes and he was nothing if not sore. “You still teaching, then? Thought you might have given up after some of the idiots we’ve had through here.”
"Japan sounds lovely. I hope you didn't cause too much destruction." Jean smiled. She offered no comment on the fact that she had also been 'out of town' for quite some time, nor did she offer any locations. She too considered this her home, or as close as she could come to one and it was the only logical place for her to come back to. For Jean it was the people more than the place that cemented her feelings for it and without Scott or Xavier she had felt hopelessly lost. Logan's presence, although it had thrown her off guard, did a good deal to make her feel as if perhaps the world hadn't spun completely off its axis.
Falling into easy step with the much taller man she searched his eyes with a knowing gaze looking for familiar emotions. "Working as a counselor, yes." she nodded and smiled. "Idiots? Now, now, Logan, I believe that at one point you too were...a challenged youth." she laughed lightly. "Besides, what else would I do with my time?" As they reached the teacher's lounge Jean opened the door and held it for Logan.
"I'm hardly good at domestic activities and the world doesn't need saving at the moment." she chuckled. "Although I probably shouldn't say that."
