Maya looked to what had caught Michael's attention and she frowned. She had seen many of these, but these looked a bit different at least they didn't say anything too horrific. "These must be new." She murmured, still frowning, she was rightfully pissed off at the moment.

"Yes, looks like this is going to take place a few days from now," Michael replied, inwardly counting the dates. While he did so, he was practically hit by Maya's emotional shift. Not wishing to intrude and break it up, because that would probably only make her feel worse, he merely stroked the back of her hand with his thumb. "It doesn't have to be necessarily a bad thing," he told her.

"You haven't actually heard them speak." She mumbled, talking about the people who had made the posters. Feeling his thumb stroke the back of her hand, she started to calm down, but only a little.

"Have you?" Michael asked. The posters looked like a plain announcement to him, but maybe he was simply less aware of the general situation to read between the lines.

"In a way...Yes." Maya said and glanced at him before looking away. "Brotherhood business. You wouldn't want to hear." She said quietly.
((I'm going to go to bed, now))

"I see," Michael said. He paused, studying the posters. "Do you think something bad is going to happen?"
(( good night! ))

"I don't know." Maya said and she really didn't. It all depended on how things went.

Michael kept silent for a few seconds, then looked at her. "If you're going to go there- Just try to keep safe, okay?" at the same time, he knew it was probably a useless thing to ask, since she was now affiliating herself with a terrorist group and he wasn't assertive enough to talk her out of it - without using his powers on her, that is.

Maya turned to face him fully. "I'll try." She said with a small smile.

Michael leaned down and gave her a small kiss on the forehead. He thought how good it was that he'd learned, early in his childhood, to never use his heart as a means of bargaining - never as something like "Don't do this or that, think about my heart, will ya". Doing so was a habit of his mother's, and he'd taught himself to cross manipulative things like these out of his mind early on.
What Maya did out there on her own was mostly her own business, since he treated her as an equally adult person. If she told him she would try, he trusted she actually would.

Maya's smile grew a bit at the kiss to her forehead and she looked up at him. "You'll stay at Xavier's, right?" She asked. She didn't want him to attend this, if it got too out of hand she didn't know if she could handle worry about him and trying to do her 'job'.

"I just might show up," Michael shrugged. "I actually don't know yet. I could always be of some peacemaking use if things got bad, you know..."
(( He'll have another matter holding him up at Westchester, but he doesn't know it yet. ))

"Oh." Maya said with a small nod. "If you go, you better be careful. Because if you get hurt I'll kick your ass." She said in a calm tone, making her seem very serious.
((Alrighty))

"Is that how hurt boyfriends are supposed to be treated?" Michael asked, leaning back as if to indicate he was extremely surprised.

Maya laughed. "Well, no. Okay, I won't kick your ass, I'll kick the ass of whoever hurt you." She said and smiled up at him. "And then I'll come back and tend to your wounds."
