[color=d19f6a]"Hello, Carolina."[/color] Ed placed his bookmark in the book. Then he looked up smiling at Carolina. He knew that prior to the first space trip Carolina and he didn't have the warmest relationship, so he was happy to see her greeting him. Ed knew what that meant. That his attempt at keeping distance from the members of the team had failed. He had known that for a while. In a way, it was nice to see that happening blatantly. Then Avery joined them. 

[color=d19f6a]"Ah, Avery."[/color] Ed's smile widened a bit at seeing his nibling joining them. Ed had always respected Avery and finding out that his run-away aunt was actually their mother had been... an event. It drove home how important change to the ways of the family was. He wasn't ready to return home. He wanted to make sure everything was going to be alright with Mary, and the others. Before he did. At least now he had some reassurance of time. 

[color=d19f6a]"It is a pleasure to see both of you."[/color] Ed's voice was soft to match the fact that they were technically in a library, even if it was a school library. [color=d19f6a]"Please make yourselves comfortable."[/color] He turned his attention to Carolina and decided to open up. 

[color=d19f6a]"I am currently a bit upset with my grandfather. I didn't leave home on the best of terms. I had, unfortunately, burned my bridge some as I left. I am trying to rectify it and my grandfather isn't taking it well. However, I have hopes I can bring him around to my way of thinking. Officially, I'm not banned from the family estate, just strongly encouraged to not return. I fear my cousin."[/color] He leaned over slightly toward Avery, [color=d19f6a]"That'd be cousin Lucas, he is actually like thrice removed, but other than me one of the oldest surviving males in the family after the attack on Cardiff."[/color] He centered himself again. [color=d19f6a]"Anyway Cousin Lucas might have been telling tales to Grandfather to get him to consider naming him as the family heir. Lucas is an ass, so I can't really abide by that. But when I left I was too upset at the world to care. I honestly figured I'd join the X-men for a bit and die in a fight before having to deal with the repercussions of my actions. It was rather childish of me."[/color]
