WHO: Cannonball and Mary Marvel
WHERE: Around idk
WHEN: ERMMM Later today, I guess?
WARNING: derp
SUMMARY: Sam gets Mary a unicorn except by unicorn I mean they have a grown up talk.
FORMAT: Quicklog!

[Sam and Mary are out being besties again. It's been awhile since they've chilled, but things in The City are finally calm enough for them to do just that. They're just walking around together, but that might change since they're fliers and everything.]

So, how're you doin', girl?

[It's nice, being out with him. It's been such a long time since they've talked, and Mary always felt more comfortable around him than anyone else. ]

Oh, I'm okay, Sam! I'm awfully glad that we could get together, I feel like it's been ages, and gosh, it's just one thing after another in the City, isn't it? How're you?

Ah know whatcha mean!

[He laughs. Lord, zombies suck. He really ain't looking forward to seeing them again when he goes home.]

Ah'm real fine. It's just nice to be out with you again.

Well, hopefully it'll mean things in the city have calmed down a bit for a while. There was just so much happening at once! It's so hard to keep on top of everything, and I have super speed.

Awww, Sam! It really is, isn't it?

Well, yeah. Ah totally miss you, Mar'.

[ She can't help but give him an impromptu hug. ] Oh, Sam, I've missed you, too! Catch me up on what you've been up too?

Just X-men stuff, mostly. Been hangin' around mah friend Sally a lot. [he grins.] And uh, mah momma hassels me from time to time. How about you?

Oooh? Is she a friend or is she a friieeend? [ Clearly, Mary's picking up some bad habits from Kitty. ]

Oh, gosh I'd love to have my mom here to hassle me. It's been such a long time since I've seen her...

She's my friend. [He rolls his eyes, sensing the Kitty in her.]

Oh....Ah'm sorry. Ah didn't mean to..

[ Mary simply smiles brightly, waving him off. ] Oh, gosh, Sam, don't be silly. I'm happy for you! Besides, I've talked to her before. She's very nice!

Besides, I know you don't ever mean to hurt my feelings.

'Course not.

[He laughs.]

You okay, though? Ah know a lotta your friends got ported out awhile ago.

Losing people you care about is always hard.

[ Something rather bitter and very un-Mary slips into her voice as she goes quiet. ]

I should just be used to it by now.

It's never something you get used to, Mary. And if it is, that's not a good thing.

Life is full of meetings and partings, Sam. That's just the way of it. Isn't it better to just be prepared for that sort of thing?

The City's different. People come and go, and there's the chance you might never see 'em again. It's alright to miss 'em and be sad about it.

[ She flashes him another smile, this one a bit wry. ] Hahaha, you sound just like Dr. Chiang, Sam!

Well it's true. [He gives her a look.] Ah still miss people who ain't here no more.

... There are lots of people I miss. But really, Sam, do we have to talk about this? I'd rather not think of sad things around you.

[Poor Mary, feeling moody.]

Whoa, sorry. We can talk about whatever you want.

Oh, Sam, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to snap. I guess I'm just feeling a bit out of sorts lately.

What's wrong?

[He looks at her, concern all over his expression.]

Oh, nothing specific, really. I guess... I just am getting awfully tired of people thinking I'm much younger than I actually am?

That happens?

[DURRRR]

[ She just looks at him funny. ] Sam, not even you treat me like I'm 17.
