::Pietro trusted in Ororo's abilities, but he was also content with the weather patterns as they were and had his own realism.:: "It will snow at the end of the week, as usual."

She shook her head and didn't reply to that, instead changing the subject. "How are you handling things?" she asked, referring to their last conversation.

"Magneto is gone," ::Pietro replied, allowing that to speak for itself.::

"That's at least a benefit," she said dryly. She tended to avoid Magneto when he was here, short of a few times passing in a hallway in stony silence, though she kept watch about who came and left when he did. It said much about which side some of the older students had chosen to take. "And with him went your problems?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.

::A silver eyebrow rose towards Pietro's hairline. She knew as well as he did that it was never that simple. However, there were several tangible benefits to Magneto's absence.:: "I sleep again."

Some undefinable worry slipped from her expression at that admission. "It's a start."

::Pietro nodded in agreement. Although he would not say so openly, he was glad to be able to sleep without fear of harm befalling his sister. It did wonders for his tolerance.:: "Yes."

"I bought something in white," she said, changing the subject and giving him a smile of friendship and familiarity.

::A thin smile touched Pietro's own lips at that. White was truly her color, even if none noticed it but him.:: "I would like to see it."

"I'll change later," she replied, glad at seeing him smile, if only slightly. The tension in the Mansion when Magneto was here stretched nerves to the breaking point; none of them needed it.

::Pietro nodded slightly; he could come to her room later to see the outfit that she had purchased.:: "It will be worth the wait."

She chuckled. "Thank you for that."

::Pietro's expression did not change, although he quirked his eyebrow briefly.:: "You know I don't make idle compliments."

"I know," she replied, matching his expression. "I've grown used to being wrapped up in my own affairs. Rarely do I hear compliments." She paused, then relented. "Except for from Xavier."

::Pietro leaned against the tree. He wasn't surprised that Ororo had fallen into such a pattern; it was another reason they had been close, similar personalities. But she had always related better to others than he himself. Isolation was a natural state for he and Wanda, but he assumed Ororo would be more...lively. As for Uncle...:: "It's on his 'to-do' list to compliment everyone daily."
