[color=#DDA0DD]”Oh that would be wonderful Carolina! We can go down and see the sets after we eat maybe. I’m not sure I’ll be able to paint more. My hands started to cramp just as I finished,”[/color] she admitted to her friend. She moved from Carolina and looked at her hands, flexing and extending the wrists a few times, releasing the joints so they cracked a several times. 
She dropped her arms and let them hang relaxed at her sides while the rest of the room started to fill with conversation. 
Antoinette vaguely knew of the former X-Men, the ones who gave it their name, besides Xavier of course. She didn’t know much of them other than what the news had portrayed, which you could never believe. She was excited to meet them, even if she didn’t understand why they were here. 
Two fairy looking children walked or rather, flew into the room and started fluttering around Richard and accusing him of all sorts of things. Antoinette’s eyes widened and she glanced at Carolina before looking back at Richard for his reaction. The man never took kindly to that kind of attitude shown to him. No matter rank or age and when it seemed to be Ayita at the center of discord, well… Antoinette loved Ayita. She enjoyed whenever she got to talk or work with her and Antoinette had a habit of searching and finding her while she was in one of her various animal forms to sketch her out for a painting later. 
Dean’s words were not helping matters. If it were any other person, Antoinette would wait to hear their statement to Dean’s question. He did come up with the most interesting observations. 
[color=#DDA0DD]”Oh Dean, what about those ice cream floats? I am so looking forward to those,”[/color] she said. Cats came crashing into the room and she instantly became distracted by them.
[color=#DDA0DD]”Oh! I wish we could have pets Carolina!”[/color]
