::She was defensive, this one, and Odin inferred that his he was correct in assuming she was brooding. Over what, he would have to learn through conversation.:: "No, and if it were, I'm hardly in a position to arrest you."

"You're not a cop. Good to know." Not that the Professor wouldn't have sensed if he were a mile away, but that was beside the point. "You know someone here?"

"Several," ::Odin was used to having to account for his presence. However, Paige and Mystique could attest to his intentions. Typhoid had been here, and Lorna/Polaris was a student as well, although he doubted she would recognize him or vouch for him if she did. He continued to try to place her accent, deciding it was from the Deep South.::

The next natural question was "who" but Rogue tired of interrogating people pretty fast. "Ah guess ah'm not a prime advertisement for the place, am I?" she said, meaning her brooding in the front yard.

::Not Virginia, and Odin doubted either of the Carolinas...he split his attention between the analysis and her comment. To the latter, he shrugged his shoulders, as his hands were in his pockets for warmth.:: "We're all entitled to bad days, aren't we?"

She snorted. "Ah guess. Bein' back where I don't want to be counts as a bad day."

::That statement contained much information, and Odin began making inferences. She was unhappy here, for what reasons, he would discover. Yet she was here, not confined to the basement laboratory, which meant she was uninjured - possibly this was a personal, social problem. Possibly she was upset over the political climate, but her tone gave an impression of motivation far deeper than that.
He himself was a traveler, and understood how wanderlust could set in, but that also seemed erroneous in light of her tone. On that subject, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee...it had to be one of those. Not Kentucky.:: "Would you like a cup of coffee? It'll get you away for an hour or two."

To anyone else, it would have been strange, a new person with a smart mouth asking her to go for coffee. But Rogue had been traveling on and off since she was 16 and ran away. Meeting Logan was probably one of the riskier things she could have done on her own, but she'd done it anyways. Compared to him, this guy was hardly threatening. Not to mention the fact that she was lonely and broke. It stacked the deck in his favor. "Ah suppose."

::Odin had no particular train to catch, which meant that he could use a diversion for an hour or two as well. To her assent, he gestured towards the gates and the street beyond.:: "I know a cafe a few blocks from here, strong brew, light pastries."

She nodded and began to descend the tree, leaping down the last few feet as she'd been taught, Wolverine-style, landing in a crouch at the foot of the trunk. Odin could move himself out of the way or get landed on, she thought, borrowing one of Logan's teachings yet again.

::Odin took a step to the right, narrowly out of her fall. Combat skills, not surprising considering where they were.:: "Need anything before we go?"

She shrugged. "Not really." What little cash she had was on her.

::With that, Odin began to walk towards the gate, remaining in step with her. His hands were in his pockets, kept warm that way.::

Rogue walked with the hood of her green coat up, through the slush of the yard to the gates. "You're not a new teacher here, are you?" Her last escapade with a member of the faculty was less then stellar, by a lot.

::Odin had assumed she would infer he didn't belong at Xavier's at all from her previous question. Evidently not. He shook his head, that subtle shake he used.:: "No, I'm only a visitor."
