Re: Al Rasputin
1. English language or England-english? I'm assuming the latter but while it'd depend on his mood...Al tends to prefer Russian lit. It's darker in general but it also has this way of looking at human nature and suffering that he finds really striking and less sugar-coated than many other types. He also likes the imagery you can find in the words if you read it in the original russian rather than any translations. It combines his love of languages plus some of his favourite books.
2. Oh good question. Realistically while he'd really WANT to jump up and go travelling (and honestly probably ask Eve if she wanted to join him), he'd stay put because he really just came back and he'd feel he owes people (his mother mostly), at least enough to stay longer. But he'd jump back into things with both feet, and try really a lot of things. He might consider getting back into the hero game...but only as a whim because once he thought it through he'd decide against it. He'd definitely be a lot more relaxed and just truly happy (his happiness since the injury has always been a thing that had to be worked at wheras this would just be a sort of light happy joy). Maybe consider hitting up Utopia for a bit, go to those X-colonies in Canada, maybe see if there are any abroad. I think he'd just jump back into the mutant community and giving back there more, he can still do that now but he's a bit too preoccupied with his own issues to think about it as a thing to do.
