are you alright? | open
WHO: Lucinda Guthrie, X-Men faculty, students, and visitors.
WHERE: Kitchen & dining room.
WHEN: Early morning.
WARNINGS:
SUMMARY: Mrs. Guthrie has been offered a room and use of facilities in the Xavier Institute. She's been sending her kids here for years, but this is the first time she's actually lived under their roof. She decides, clearly, she should introduce herself with a hearty Southern breakfast.
FORMAT: Anything.
She had been here for something like two nights which was long enough to convince her that maybe this wasn't a cruel dream or hallucination. Joshua felt real. Samuel felt real. Paige felt real. Her three oldest were here and relatively safe and alive. Most of the X-Men she heard about were here too which was mildly comforting. Though Lucinda would be lying if she didn't miss her younger children. Everyone was reassuring her they were safe back home and that dulled down her worries a tad, but it didn't stop the heartache at missing taking care and seeing her babies everyday.
She woke up early unable to fall back asleep. The bed was new and foreign to her. The clothes were strange. Her whole environment was another world entirely to her. Lucinda sighed and pulled a bathrobe tightly around her body. She pulled on some slippers and tip toed down the stairs as to not to disturb the heightened senses of some of the housemates. She found the kitchen after a little difficulty and began searching the fridge and cub boards for pans, eggs, bacon, toast, butter--the works.
If anything, she could at least surprise everyone with breakfast and make it feel a little bit more like Kentucky.

She closed the drawers and got back to looking after the eggs and bacon. "Ah'm Lucinda, but you can call me Mrs. Guthrie if you like. Is Maggie short for Margaret? That's a sweet name. If Ah had another girl before my Tommy passed, Ah'd consider it."

"Ah... no, it's just Maggie. But I like the name Margaret too." Her eyes flicker with sadness at the sound of her son dying. "You have a daughter? What's her name?"
