After hanging out in the infirmary with Billy and Eliza and Mr. Immortal (Mr. Immortal. How cool was that?), Teddy had wandered off to give Billy and Eliza a chance to catch up. There were things that needed his attention, as much as he'd like to avoid them ( Read more... )

Xavin was unused to spending the majority of his time in the company of others. And his first attempt at watching popular movies of earth culture had been less than successful, so Xavin did what he did best. Strategizing and examining the layout of the Avengers Tower. He was also doing something he rarely did. Procrastinating.

Not only was he avoiding the Skrull Emperor (or rather making it easier for the Emperor to avoid him), but he hadn't even considered how the conversation would go aside from envisioning him sentenced to exile by the Emperor himself or by the Skrull high command.

Naturally, whilst avoiding Theodore Altman, he in fact ran into him. Almost literally, if he didn't have better reflexes. "I'm sorry." He said perhaps too quickly.

Teddy jerked backwards, nearly tripping over his own feet as he backed away from the Skrull - Xavin? Yes, Xavin - he'd met outside the hospital. He'd almost forgotten that he - she? Xavin had posed as both a guy and a girl - had come back to the Tower with them.

"No problem." he replied reflexively to the offered apology. "I should have been paying more attention to where I was going."

Ooh boy. Awkward. What now?

"Err...how's your girlfriend doing?"

"She is recovering well." Xavin responded, backing away to provide Theodore appropriate space. "I trust your friends are well?"

Yes Xavin, make small talk with the Emperor of the Skrullos domain, he will be most impressed with your lack of anything to say.

"Yeah, everyone's doing great." Teddy said, forcing a grin that felt a great deal more like a grimace. He shifted his weight from foot to foot, trying to think of some way to politely extract himself from the conversation before it led to the inevitable question of leaving the planet to be a Skrull emperor.

Yeah. A Skrull emperor who was half Kree. That would be a fantastic plan. If Teddy was suicidal.
