Five students just got into a fist fight. Sidney Pridemore says he started it, but a bystander says it was Caspian Payne. I'm inclined to give them all detention to show that we don't tolerate brawling in the halls, but I'm open to other ways to handle it when Caspian is involved.

Can someone come keep an eye on them? I'm supposed to meet my brother in the city today.

I’ll take Cas for a lil walk. Away from the others. Should still give em detention though.

[seeingred scott summers ⊗ cyclops]

You'll have to find him. I took them to the nurse's office to get patched up, but Caspian slipped out since he wasn't really hurt at all.

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

They certainly are starting early this year. I think detention for all of them is warranted, but I can sort out who the actual instigator was, if you'd like.

[seeingred scott summers ⊗ cyclops]

Sidney seemed eager to take the blame for it. That's weird, right?

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

It is — I can't imagine he was trying to protect Caspian from blame. Did it sound like he started it on purpose, or his powers just got Sidney and the others wound up?

Also, I'll obviously look after whomever, so don't let this disrupt any of your plans.

[glovedup rogue]

[...] I'll find him. Probably feels bad. Poor kid's got it rough.

[allhell magik 🖤 illyana rasputin]

it is healthy for children to fight sometimes, and they have already been embarrassed

[seeingred scott summers ⊗ cyclops]

Thanks. [...] I might have been too harsh. Let him know no one's actually mad?

[seeingred scott summers ⊗ cyclops]

Maybe he is trying to protect the others, if he can tell Caspian can't control what happened. But... I don't know. Sidney asked me if I would be calling his parents.

Thank you. We're in the nurse's office.

[glovedup rogue]

I will. What'd you tell him?

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

A bit of roughhousing is fine I think, but we do have to establish that fist fights with five students is a little excessive. And I wouldn't be so convinced they're embarrassed.

[seeingred scott summers ⊗ cyclops]

Told all of them it was unacceptable behavior, and if they keep this up, they could get expelled.

[seeingred scott summers ⊗ cyclops]

If they were normal children. But some of them can do serious damage.

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

It's possible. So he was worried about calling you his parents?

Of course. I'll come pick up the children and you can put this out of your mind.

[seeingred scott summers ⊗ cyclops]

No. It was more like he was hoping I would.

[Emma]
I'd ask you to come meet Alex, but it might be a tense lunch.

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

Well, that's certainly interesting. I'll have a chat with him and get a little bit more color on the whole situation.

[Scott]
I think I can guess the topic of discussion. How are you feeling about it?

And it's fine, of course. There's plenty of time for meeting later.

[seeingred scott summers ⊗ cyclops]

Thank you. You're better at talking to them than I am.

[Emma]
I don't know. We actually don't talk about family much.

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

It also helps that they know I can read their minds. Even if I don't do it, they tend to be more truthful.

[Scott]
I don't think that's terribly surprising. Even Christian and I rarely if ever talk about our family. I'm sure it'll be good to see him, regardless of the possible tension.

[seeingred scott summers ⊗ cyclops]

Maybe I need to start threatening them with you.

[Emma]
Yeah. I haven't seen him in months, since he went abroad for the summer. He's starting his masters in geophysics next week. Not the best timing for big news.

How's Christian?

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

I would love that. Please, feel free to do this whenever you'd like.

[Scott]
I think there's never really a good time for most of these things. Honestly, having school to distract him might make it better timing ultimately.

Doing well. He finally told me he's seeing someone. He's a little afraid of what my opinion will be, I think.

[seeingred scott summers ⊗ cyclops]

"Tell me who did this or Miss Frost will rip the information out of your heads"?

[Emma]
Maybe you're right. I guess I'm worried because Alex remembers more about our parents than I do. I don't want to disa

Should he be afraid?

[glovedup rogue]

Well. Ain't any lies, there.
He shouldn't be too hard to find. Some aftershocks of kiddos yelling at each other along the way.

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

Perfect, no notes. Very scary. Also, I assume one of the brawling children is mine?

[Scott]
I probably am right, but I know that doesn't make things easier. [...] I think it's always better to know than not, so even if it's difficult for him, you're doing him a kindness.

Only a little. I've only ever been rude to one man he's dated and he was the worst, so.

[seeingred scott summers ⊗ cyclops]

I shouldn't have said it. They can't be worried about getting thrown out in the first week.

As long as it's only yelling and not property damage.

[seeingred scott summers ⊗ cyclops]

If you've finalized your squad roster. Amadeus Quiggle was right in the middle of it.

[Emma]
I know. Keeping it from him is what Corsair would've done. I just didn't want to do it in a text.

And this new man?
