Lorna was settled on the roof with a mug of cocoa in her hands waiting for Jubilee to do her thing. She'd set one of the cameras trained on the area, so anybody who didn't want to brave the snow and cold could watch from the camera room.

"Okay, they need to hurry the hell up," she said, even the slight green glow around her and Jubilee got brighter, along with the heat she was emanating. "I cannot keep this up forever."

Jimmy let out a little snort. "I imagine it would," he agreed. He was surprised at the giggle. It was not a sound he'd heard from her.

He almost felt her watching him and looked up just in time to see her look away. Then she disappeared from his sight, although the slight weight of her arms was still around his arm. Carefully, he gently rested a hand on where he could feel hers were and turned his attention back to the display.

The way Jubilee was cutting loose now, he might not be able to watch directly much longer. He put up his other hand to shield his eyes, squinting a bit. It was still beautiful.

Alisa smiled a little, "I remember one time dad's car has an oil leak. My brother's dog got completely covered in oil after rolling around in it. We had paw prints everywhere." Telling the story didn't even bother her. Maybe it should have but... That sort of thing was long past over.

But her smile had faded with Jimmy's and talk of John. She bit her bottom lip and twisted her hand - not to get away but until they were palm to palm, fingers together even though it meant she had to spread them a little.

She settled into silence, watching the colored sparks fly through the air... Jubilee was quite talented.

Jimmy has to laugh softly at that. "I bet," he agreed. It was nice to hear her talk about her past at all. Actually, it was nice to hear her talk.

He was surprised when she turned her palm towards his and laced her fingers through his. Jimmy squeezed Alisa's hand gently, the only indication he noticed.

Settling into a comfortable silence was more than fine with Jimmy. The had really turned out better than he had expected.
