::Odin nodded. The light changed, and he started across the street.:: "If you're serious about it, so am I. I can't give a guarantee, but I promise to look into it."

"Ah..." She was taken aback. "Ah just met you. Didn't figure on you takin' me seriously." She crossed the street as he did. "But if you meant it, thanks."

::Not Tennessee, Odin thought idly to himself while they crossed. He had done more on an impulse before; he was the trusting sort when it came to mutants or to people younger than him who needed a sense of direction.:: "You're welcome."

"So, what brings you to the Mansion to get your coat?" Rogue asked, curious. "Datin' someone here?"

::The sound Odin made was more a scoff than a chuckle. He had nothing against people at the institute; in fact, he had made friends with several. However, most were taken, and he was unaffiliated beyond his job, which would make such an affair difficult at best. Not to mention that romantic interludes and he tended not to mesh well.:: "Nothing that interesting. I lent it to someone after the riot."

"You were there?" she asked, surprised.

::The surprise was easy to detect. Odin knew he was unassuming and did not look like he belonged in a riot. He did not, in fact; he was no fighter, and yet he found himself in these situations...:: "Yes, I was there."

"Whoa." She sounded impressed, but not for the reason you'd think. He looked like a riot would fry him alive.

::Odin knew how he looked; he could easily be snapped like a twig. The light changed, and he crossed the street beside her.:: "I've seen worse."

"I've seen protests," she said, remembering when she stepped off a bus one day. "At the Cure centers. But never riots."

::Odin's expression did not change at the mention of the Cure, but he took a closer look at her. There were spots in her gene, and he inferred they were self-inflicted. That was her decision, as much as he might disagree with it.:: "I hope those were less violent than the one's I've seen."

"It got bad," she replied, evasively. "The one Magneto attacked was worse."

::Alcatraz; it was a news story burned into Odin's memory forever. He nodded at that.:: "I'm sure."

"Ah left and came back just as everything hit the fan," she said. "Ah missed a lot."

"We always do when traveling," ::Odin remarked thoughtfully. It was the cost of uprooting oneself.::
