[video/action at the X-house - forward dated to Thursday morning]

[horseish]

[The day started warm and beautiful and Bobby was out of her bed as soon as the sun was up. After months of winter, being able to go outside again feels like walking back into her own skin.

She's currently sprawled out across the grass in front of the new Xavier mansion, soaking in the sun like a lizard on a rock. She's in shorts and a t-shirt and it might still be a little chilly for that, but she doesn't mind. Besides, someone comes along soon to offer a little extra warmth.

A very wooly sheep wanders into frame and pokes at Bobby with its black muzzle. Bobby lets out a giggle, and another sheep comes to investigate.

BEST HOUSE EVER.]

Does anyone know how you get the wool off the sheep so you can make sweaters? I know how to knit but it has to be in yarn first and this doesn't look very much like yarn yet.

[She gives the nearest sheep a pat on her curly coat.]

[unwheeled]

It probably would. But what would I do with a lot of money. [ Charles sits up and shrugs. ] It's useful now, because people can live in it. There are enough people, I mean. When I was growing up...this was all rather empty.

[ And now there's Erik, and Raven, and Sean, and Bobby, and possibly Stiles. And sheep.

A veritable ton of sheep. ]

I suppose we should figure out where the sheep should stay at night.

[horseish]

You could buy a car. That's what I'd do if I had a lot of money.

They like to sleep outside, don't they?

[unwheeled]

I think I would rather have a bicycle. I could always borrow someone else's vehicle.

Well yes, but I suspect like most other things, they aren't terribly fond of being rained on.

[horseish]

I've never been on a bicycle. Are they scary?

Oh. It's too bad your house doesn't have a barn.

[unwheeled]

They're only scary at first. I'll teach you, how does that sound?

[ Charles shrugs. ] I suspect I'll just have to have someone build one. Or whatever sheep would prefer. Clearly I should call a veterinarian before the next week is out.

[horseish]

That's an animal doctor, right? I thought there was just one kind of doctor for both but the doctor I knew back home said he didn't do horses.

[unwheeled]

No, there's...a doctor for just about everything you can think of, to be quite honest.
