"...not the cure that everyone has been hoping for, but researchers working with the virus ravaging mutant enclaves around the country claim to have reached a breakthrough -- a treatment which can stop the contagion from spreading from person to person. For more on this, we're joined by our medical specialist..."
"...ravaged by riots for the second time this year, District X citizens have been organizing to repair the damage that's been done not only the the buildings and infrastructure, but also to their sense of community. Several people are in S.H.I.E.L.D. custody in connection with the recent outbreak of violence, but few details have emerged so far..."
"...outpouring of grief from mutant communities and their supporters internationally after a high-profile member of the X-men's death was confirmed. Kurt Wagner, known to the public as 'Nightcrawler', was a long-time staff member at the Xavier Institute, rumored in recent months to have been suffering from the virus affecting mutants around the nation and the world. When asked for comment, a representative of the school asked for peace and privacy, and declined any further discussion..."
"...slight drop in mainstream support for candidates Norman Osborn and Graydon Creed attributed to their well-publicized outbursts against, among others, the mutant and pro-mutant protest groups that have been dogging them on the campaign trail. A video taken just last week of Osborn's rambling and incoherent response to a question posed to him by a mutant attendee of a meet-and-greet event went viral, prompting mockery even from some of the other candidates in the primary..."
"...international news, President Kelly has set a date for a new round of discussions with Genoshan leadership.

[Kaede squeezed Kisume's shoulders a little.]
Just...
[The thought image disappeared, figures losing their distinguishing features before vanishing.
Dammit, it happened years and years and years ago, why did it keep inciting this chaotic ball of emotions in her head? She was over this. It happened, she was a dumbshit child who didn't know any better and she killed her own mother. It happened. She was done with this.
Just.
Ugh.]
no subject
Not good thing to remember? Not mean say. I sorry.
[Even if it wasn't her fault..she felt really bad for bringing it up]
Something else want to talk?
no subject
It's fine.
[She folded her arms around the child in a full hug now; see, it was fine. Everything was fine.
...she was only holding onto Kisume like she was an anchor a little bit for her own benefit.]
Do you like butterflies?
[It was the first thing Kaede could think of-
...she didn't eat those, right?]
no subject
Mm..Okay. If say so.
[Opening her eyes once more at the question, she smiles again.]
Butterflies pretty. Like alot. You do?
no subject
Hugs helped.]
I don't like to touch them so much. [Those feet were tickly.] But they're pretty to watch.
no subject
[After that she giggles a little it.]
Like to sit in hair too.
no subject
What about your nose?
[And Kaede gently prods that part of Kisume's face, in emphasis.]
no subject
Uh huh! When sleep in log sometimes. When it get warm.
no subject
It's comfortable for you, to sleep there?
[Still, there seemed to be a little worry in her voice. Even if the mental image was cute.]
no subject
[Going to slightly skirt around that question because it wasn't comfortable at first but..she got used to it.]
Nice when warm..not when cold.
no subject
Well, you won't need to worry about that here, okay?
no subject
Okay. Not worry. It not bad.
[She wanted to say it was safe but..Past events have shown safe isn't an option.]
Other worry happen but it okay.
no subject
I'll keep you safe. Don't worry.
no subject
[It took her a moment to say that but it was mostly she wanted to say it right.]
no subject
That made Kaede feel all wobbly, in her chest. But in a good way? Or what she thought was good and didn't have any doubts chewing at her thoughts so it must be good, right?
She tightened her embrace, ruffling Kisume's hair a little.]
...good.
no subject
At the hair ruffle there is a little giggle though. She's content to stay where she is as long as needed..or wanted.]
