What: working out/ soaking in some sun
Status: in progress

Evelyn stretched as she enjoyed the feel of the sun on her back. She wore a black exercise leotard that not only soaked up warmth, but also gave her the flexibility she would need. She knew she could do this workout inside but the warm weather and sun had drawn her outside. After a few stretches, she started in on her martial arts forms. Once those were done she planned to do a bit of yoga and then maybe a few shadow fights. She didn't have much else to do. It was strange to not to have to fit this stuff in between meetings while reading (or having someone read) some document or another. For someone who was usually as busy as herself, she had too much time on her hands. She started humming to herself as she did her first form.

Jonah Margaux was settling into life off the road just fine. He'd spent most of his time in the early spring training, working out and hashing over old and new business with Mystique and some of the others (Dom, John, Mort). As spring came on, he found it harder and harder to sit around indoors talking about what could happen. Things were happening - he wasn't going to miss them. While they were at Xavier's they had more opportunities to train and learn (not that his genius cousin was taking advantage of those facts). He had spent a few hours (at least) in the company of some of the more technical X-Men, and some of the more skilled fighters. Those folks were his cup of tea - but he didn't really drink tea.

As he passed by the window (the curtains having been pushed back to allow for more sunlight in the common room and hallways) he noticed a sleek figure on the lawn between the mansion and the dorm. He quirked a brow when he squinted out into the daylight and recognized who he was spying. Ormand. In spandex. Looking bendy. Tea might not have been a favorite, but, y'know what they say about apples...

He made a sharp turn for the exit and strolled casually out onto the grass between buildings. He began busying his hands by pushing the cuffs of his sleeves up his arms, and when he drew closer, he called out. "Doing a little sunnin', Eve?"

Evelyn stood and twirled around in one smooth motion at the sound of someone behind her. Seeing who it was put a smile on her face. Ah yes, Mr Yummy of the Apple liquor. "Well, hello Mr Margaux." What a wonderful last name, it just felt so smooth rolling off her tongue.

She took the time to do a nice long stretch, reaching her arms to the sky. "Isn't that warmth just divine?" She finished and stepped towards him. "I like the heat." She also liked him calling her Eve. It brought out her wicked side. "I was just about to get a real workout. Would you like to join me?"

Ever since Ronan had begun an intimate relationship with Zap, he'd been trying to quit smoking. He knew that she didn't like it and he wanted to make her happy. He was down to only smoking when he was very stressed or angry, today had been been one of those days and the Irishman needed nicotine.

Mars stepped outside into the sunny June afternoon, sunglasses firmly in place. He took a stroll down the path, so he wouldn't be so close to the building (he knew Xavier didn't like that). As he walked he saw the Ormand heiress and the Margaux male. He wasn't in the mood for prattle and he was pretty sure that those two wouldn't provide it. As he approached, he heard part of their conversation. The snake woman looked as if she wanted to unhinge her jaw and eat Jonah. And not for dinner. He gave the them a nod as he settled against the trunk of a large oak and fished out his cigarettes and lighter.

"Gonna take her up on that, Margaux?" he smirked a little. Poison was obviously on the prowl (and it was hilarious to witness).

"I don't care much for the heat, personally," he answered as he unbuttoned his Oxford. Jonah much preferred air-conditioning over the heat of a mid-June day. Probably something to do with spending so many on hot black top as a kid. He tossed the shirt and it landed across the walk, just when the Irishman had taken toward the trees. At least it wouldn't be trampled. He was left with his white tank and khaki pants. Jonah raised his chin in acknowledgment of the other man who'd joined them, and smirked - mostly because of his actions. The boy looked a little out of place, to be honest. "Hell yes."

He turned his attention back to the woman then, "Sure - I plan to have a big lunch." Damage squinted his right eye, which may have been a wink or an attempt to shield himself from the sun, and headed closer to the brunette in black. "What'd you have in mind?" he stepped up next to her and already felt the sun causing sweat to form on his exposed skin.

She noticed Ronan head out and smirked when she hear his question to Mr Margaux. "Why Mr. Beauregard," She knew his real name but liked to tease him by using the false name he had given her when they first met. "I didn't know you liked to watch."

She shrugged, the warmth was a bit of a necessity for her given how much her biology was like a snake's. She struck a pose that showed off her curves without loosing her ability to react quickly. "Well, I was thinking about a little sparing. I know you wouldn't hurt little ol' me." She smirked. She was more than confident in her ability to take care of herself.

Ronan let out a snort and rolled his eyes at Poison's words. Tact was obviously not something the snake woman possessed. He held in a smirk at Jonah's response. Apparently he liked it that way. His eyes (no longer behind sunglasses) roamed over Poison in her leotard and he did smirk with a shake of his head. She just didn't do it for him. He preferred the woman who was inside working on the broken dishwasher in the kitchen. She was thoughtful like that. He would have just made the little turds wash their dishes by hand. After he was through outside, he would go check up on her. He switched his gaze from the amusing spectacle that was Poison and Damage to the large fountain that was nearby. It was rather peaceful out here, he had to admit. He should venture outside more often (and bring Zap with him).

"Of course," Damage said with a wink and tip of his head toward Eva. Jonah took a few steps closer to her, stretching out his arms as he moved. He planted his feet and stood in his own sparring stance.

Irish being around didn't bother him, he'd probably like the guy if he took the chance, then he had a smirk to himself. 'His old lady's a trip', he thought to himself, remembering the handful of conversions he'd had with the electrokine. She was kinda of a bitch, he wondered how she would feel if she knew he was out here staring at Poison. Food for thought. Magneto had made it crystal clear that they were to do nothing to interfere with the X-men. Unless you didn't get caught.

His mind wandered back and forth for a moment and finally centered once again on the snake-lady before him. Sexy chick in a leotard wants him to touch her... check. "Ready?"

Damage didn't wait for a response. Instead, he closed the distance between the two in a few quick steps. Both his arms shot up in defense of his face as he curled his right leg around her left. He pushed down with his arms and pulled in with his leg, taking it out from under her. If she were to grab onto his arms, he would hold her up before her back hit the ground.

She wasn't expecting Damage to give her time after that question. She was impressed with his first strike, but was also ready for it. She let her leg be swept and used the momentum with a twist to fall to the ground and snap a quick leg sweep of her own. She wasn't sure that it would do anything with the amount of bulk he had. She had speed, not strength. But she wasn't about to do a killer strike. This was all in fun after all.

Damage was impressed, but not too impressed. He expected her to have some skills in that leotard. She did run a multi-million dollar company at her age and survive a zombie apocalypse in the middle of Manhattan. She was much more than meets the eye. Which was probably why Jonah was so interested in her. Not to mention her potential with the Brotherhood... No, on second thought the Brotherhood hardly entered his mind. If anything she might be his ticket out of the Brotherhood. The new world was going to need weapons... right? Who better than to be friends with than possibly the most talented, still-living weapons manufacturer?

The leg sweep was a nice attempt and if she had been trying harder it probably would have knocked him off balance. Jonah backed away quickly after absorbing the blow. He remained close enough to extend a hand to help her up off the ground. He completely expected some kind of retaliation, but after, all this was just all in fun.

Evelyn licked her lips as she saw the hand reach out to help her. The fight was no where near over yet, she was hardly even getting started. She smiled up at him, that nice I'm such a nice girl really smile that always ended up looking evil on her for some reason. "My, how gentlemanly of you." She said. Then she pushed forward as she rose up from the ground.

She feinted a strike at his side, then dodged on behind him with a duck and twirl. Which lead her to a perfect position to get a really good feel on how nice and tight he was. She got a good tight headlock hold on him and used her constrictive powers to hold him. She leaned forward to whisper behind his ear, letting her warm breath flow against the side of his neck. "Did you know I am poisonous?" Then she flicked her tongue out to lick his ear before tightening her hold and then letting go, jumping back with a laugh.

Jonah expected the unexpected and wasn't disappointed. He let the snake lady have her way with him, only offering minimal resistance. Not that he could have done much, short of using his powers to avoid the serpent's grasp.

Holy crap. Now he knew how a mouse felt. Her arms were like steal but bent like rubber. Her breath on the side of his face and neck caused goosebumps to travel down his neck and back.

Once free, he stepped back to regain his composure. "In more ways than one, I bet." Jonah noticed his cousin out of the corner of his eye chatting with Irish. Mars was way too small for Myra to be interested in seriously, but girl will talk to any damn body.

Damage ignored the duo and focused back on his attack. He raised his arms up to protect his face and took a few jabs toward her head and shoulders, testing the waters on her reflexes, then in one motion, turned his body to the side and drew his leg up, kicking out parallel to his hips. If the blow fell, it would hit directly at her abdomen.

She was getting kind of itchy with these kid gloves they were handling eachother with. Still she was amused by his response. "Of course," she replied with a smirk. "I tend to enjoy being so. Little Eve decided to steal a dab of the serpents poison for herself. Better than an apple any day." Poison was more a description of her than her own name could ever be.

She easily dodged his jabs and was getting drawn into a bored, slightly disappointed feeling when he threw something new out. She managed to dodge to the side in just enough time courtesy of her own powers. Then she gave a small pout. "Are we ready to play like big boys and girls now?"

She backed her words by tossing out a few quick strikes of her own. Evelyn wasn't looking to really injure him but if any of the strikes hit, they would hurt... a lot.

"Of course we are." He smirked and added a wink for good measure. She came at him, and he took the brunt of her attacks. deciding to block them. God, each one of her strikes felt like a snake bite. They all seemed to sting a while longer than they should have.

He absorbed the pain and kept his demeanor cool. It didn't matter how bad they hurt, just how much you showed it. Even as his body ached where she had hit him, he didn't let the expression on his face change. "Not bad, they teach you that in Swedish boarding school?"

Without much warning, the dark man shifted his stance, took the woman by her right, upper arm, and slung her in close to him, so his abdomen was pressed up against her lower back. He held her tightly with his arms pinning her against him. His face leaned down so it was close to her ear and her clenched down with his grip. "I don't think you're ready to play with the big boys," he told her, partly in challenge, mostly due to the fact that he didn't think he could give her what she wanted. He didn't play nice - he didn't play. He had certain ideas of how to treat women and what to do with them, and his combat training never factored into any of it.

He didn't want to fight with Evelyn Ormand, he wanted quite the opposite.

Damn, she wasn't really used to a long fight against an opponent. Usually once she struck, her target was down. Of course, usually she used poison. She smirked. "No. I had private tutors. Though a Swiss tutor might have been interesting." Despite many people's view of the neutral nation, she knew the Swiss could be excellent fighters.

She gasped slightly as he pinned her against him. He could certainly move faster than his size implied. She tried to squirm out but it was pretty much hopeless. She could only augment her strength when crushing, not any other time. Evelyn was stuck unless she poisoned the fellow. She did arch her back when he spoke. "Oh," she pouted. "That mean I have to stick with girls?" she purred suggestively. She could manage to move her hand over to squeeze his thigh for a moment. "Because I think I would prefer to play with the boys."

It seemed to be the day to stretch your legs and sun your shoulders, because the lawn was quite busy by the time Myra exited the Brotherhood dorm. Not too far from the entrance was a grassy section of lawn that was dotted with a few patches of trees and a fountain. Dead center, the illusionist noticed her cousin was sparring with Miss Ormand, aka the tramp, aka Lady Voldemort. She was fighting the urge march up to the pair and demand Jonah stop being licked by the snakewoman in public places, but from the corner of her eyes, she noticed the techie boy slinking 'round by a tree while peering at the same sight she had been taking in. Her long legs led her in his direction and when she neared the tree, Sway placed her palm against the bark, crossed her legs at her ankles and looked down to Mars. "Mind if I take a hit?" she brought her fingers to her mouth in a V pose.

Ronan watched the sparring session with a somewhat amused expression. He hoped Jonah kicked her ass. He noticed the other Margaux approaching fast. Hmm. He had heard the two were close. Maybe she didn't like to see her cousin getting licked by the nasty snake woman. He was glad when she moved towards him and asked for a drag. This way he could still finish his cigarette and be distracted from Damage and Poison. "Sure." He offered the darker woman the smoke stick. "Hope ye don't mind Salems."

"I'd take a hit off grass rolled in a post-it at this point," Cigarettes were few and far between at Xavier's; especially inside the Brotherhood dorm. "Enjoyin' the show?" she wondered as she took a drag. Sway surely was not. She did like watching Jonah fight. He was always so chivalrous. It gave her a jolly. Well, chivalrous with other females. When they sparred, he floored her. "I've seen some freaky shit, and this chick sorta," another drag, puff, "creeps me out." She lowered her hand again and gave back the cigarette, then helped herself down the ground as well. Her eyes surveyed the scene before them again and she started to get a bad feeling about what was going on. Damage was being awfully kind.

Mars gave Myra a snort at her grass/post-it combo and glanced back at the fighting match. "Eh, not really. I just came out here for a quick smoke an' these two turds were out here." He chuckled at her comment about Evelyn. "I know how to take 'er down." After taking his cigarette, he put it back to his own lips, taking a drag once more. "So, yer cousin seems ta be quite fond o' the harpy." He didn't intend to stay out much longer, the sight of those two was enough to make him want to beat his head against the tree he was sitting near. He needed to go back inside.

"Well sure," Myra remarked, "I could take her down." But that still didn't make up for the fact that the woman was out of the ordinary. Most of them were though, she guessed. "He's got a penis, doesn't he?" It was rhetorical. "And besides, he's ex-military. Why wouldn't he try to buddy up with her?" She didn't really care about loyalties or covering her cousins ass while chatting of a smoke. And this sexpot didn't seem to care too much about anything. Still, there seemed to be a bit more to him than met the eye. "I know Magneto couldn't give a shit less." Her tone said, 'and I couldn't give a shit less about Magneto.' Magneto had been behaving as though he didn't care much about anything. Let alone the aimless wanderers of Xavier's estate.

Mars shrugged nonchalantly and finished the last drag on his cigarette. Ronan wasn't a master of small talk. Never had been and never would be. He didn't care about Magneto or what he did as long as he stayed out of Ronan's business. He smirked at the inflection in Myra's voice as she spoke of Magneto. So things weren't so wonderful in paradise. Good.

As the smoke blew from the Irishman's lips, Myra focused in on his mouth and smiled ever so slightly to herself. His lips were made for that smirk. She felt her tongue dart out to wet her lips before she spoke again. "So what do you like then, if not smoldering, deadly heiresses?"

"My girlfriend." Ronan stated bluntly, noticing the way she was watching him out of the corner of his eye. Zap was the only person who really knew him for who he truly was. She'd brought out feelings in him that he'd never thought he could know. Any other woman would never compare. He was going to go check in on Zap. Now. He stood then, and replaced his sunglasses to his face. "Well, lass." he said, giving Poison and Jonah one last glance. "I'll be seein' ya around I'm sure."

Myra was the one to smirk, then, following his response. She smiled widely, showing her teeth when he moved to stand. "You might." She gave him a wink that was less flirty than would be per normal and waved her hand lazily at the end of her arm (which was resting on her upright knee). Once the guy's blue eyes were shaded, she didn't have much use to keep her eye on him, so her attention shifted back to Jonah. Sway was free now to heckle.
