"I'm still getting along, all things considered! I've been shedding a whole lot to prepare for my winter coat, too."

Brushing down a wing, Amara looks up at Victor.

"Has everything been alright out in the forest? It isn't getting too sparce or cold for you, is it?"

Amara!!🪽 @th4tb1rdg1rl.bsky.social · 12d

"A lot more sleep, I can tell you that, it's been getting ever so deeply cold."

Grasping at the fabric of her cardigan, her mind conjures the chilling bite of the autumnal breeze.

"The silence you like? I understand what you mean, your own solitude, and your own company."

"Season’s changin’ slow this year, forest’s quieter, smells different—less life, more sleep.

Can't say I mind it, though. Cold keeps the hunters away, brings the kind of silence I like, guess you could say I’m thrivin

And you? Still chirpin’ through the wind, little bird?"

Amara!!🪽 @th4tb1rdg1rl.bsky.social · 12d

"I'm great, thank you for asking, and even better now! What about yourself, Victor? How's the changing season treating you?"

"Thermo... molten alloys? Oh! About heat conductivity in melted metal combinations? Sorry, that took me a moment to figure out there!"

She's smart, sure, but not as smart as Hank! Holding a hand out to shake, Amara smiles up at Hank.

Hank McCoy @hank-mccoy.bsky.social · 12d

"A pleasure, as always, your timing is impeccable — I was just pondering the thermodynamic properties of molten alloys, and who better to appreciate such a discussion than one who commands the element itself?"

He chuckles lightly

"But perhaps a simple 'good day' will suffice for now."

Amara!!🪽 @th4tb1rdg1rl.bsky.social · 12d

"Hmm? Oh, good day to you, doctor!"

She waves politely, looking up at the blue build towering before her.

Amara!!🪽 @th4tb1rdg1rl.bsky.social · 12d

"You cannot sleep? Oh, Victor, I'm so sorry... would you need somewhere to stay?"

Victor Sabretooth @victorcreed.bsky.social · 12d

Can't eve sleep in this fuckin annoyin' place

Amara!!🪽 @th4tb1rdg1rl.bsky.social · 12d

"If you say so! Admittedly, I just wanted an excuse to say hi and talk to you..."

"You can say that again! Ah, I just adore the scent of rain on the pavement and fallen leaves... I'm proud of you, you know, maintaining yourself and staying out of trouble. You're doing a magnificent job!"

Nodding firmly, Amara beams brightly.

"I don't know how much I can say I've missed you..."

James Howlett ᵀʰᵉ ᵂᵒˡᵛᶦᵉ @jameswolverine.bsky.social · 12d

"Yeah, sure was, felt like my skin was gonna melt right off my bones. Autumn’s treatin’ me fine, though.

Cooler air, smells better—feels cleaner, missed seein’ ya around too, Amara"

He pauses, tone softening.

“Been spendin' time keepin' myself outta trouble, ya know—quiet stuff, for once..."

Amara!!🪽 @th4tb1rdg1rl.bsky.social · 12d

"I can't fault you for that whatsoever, it was a real scorcher of a summer this year, huh? As long as you're okay!"

Beaming, she's pleased to see him again.

"And I've missed you too! I've been well, overall, I'm finally settling in for the autumn season! What about you?"

"Guess ya could call it that, been layin' low, tryin' not to melt in the damn heat.." He grins faintly

"Good t'see ya, Amara, missed that energy o’ yours, how have ya bein'?"

Amara!!🪽 @th4tb1rdg1rl.bsky.social · 13d

"Quite some time, it seems, as was I... perhaps it was some form of summer hibernation? Either way, hi there James! It's been far too long!"

She waves enthusiastically!

Once-vibrant leaves shift from greens full of life to gentle hues of copper and bronze, the air heavier with a dewy mist that settles within the morning. It's colder now.

Looking out from her apartment window, Amara sighs, slowly waking and warming up. Perhaps [reader] will join her?
