Penance looked at the young boy, blinking, in the manner that a wild animal tended to look at something it had never encountered before. One could almost see the questions behind her eyes: 'What is it?' 'Is it dangerous?' 'Is it tasty?' 'Is it scrumptuously crunchable?'
Hmmm, perhaps Penance had been watching the Rankin-Bass Hobbit too much of late.
They probably would have been curious to know that Penance understood the Japanese as Jean translated, with help from her telepathy, for the others. Nobody thought to check however.
"China," Cyclops cursed under his breath. "That's a lot of space to cover."

Nodoka opened the door to find herself facing three people that she assumed were Americans. Granted, Sean Cassidy was Scotch by birth, but Nodoka could hardly be expected to recognize that by looking. It wasn't as if he was wearing his kilt or anything.
"Yes, may I help you?" she asked.
"I am Emma Frost," Emma introduced herself in perfect Japanese. "This is Sean Cassidy. We're the instructors at an American school that had a class spending time in Japan."
"I see," Nodoka said, confused and looking toward the third member of their party.
"Kitty Pryde," Kitty said reaching out her hand. Nodoka cautiously took it.
"Kitty is an associate of ours," Emma explained.
"Yes, how may I help you?" Nodoka asked.
"One of our students had a run in with who we think is your son," Sean answered. His Japanese was not so flawless. "We'd like to talk to you about your son, and your husband's experiments."
Nodoka flinched then.
"Come in," she said resignedly.

"This is the place," Logan said, looking at the dojo. He pulled on the door bell and waited until a pretty brown-haired girl of about fifteen came to the door.
"Hello, are you here to challenge the dojo?" the girl asked.
"No." Psylocke said. "Is your father home?"
"Oh yes," the girl answered. "Come right in, I'll tell him he has company."
The little girl lead them into the living room and left them to sit as she got her father. A minute or so later a male voice was heard.
"My daughter Kasumi tells me that I ha..." the tall, mustachioed man froze in place as he caught sight of Logan.
"You recognize me," Logan noted.
"Ack," was Soun's only response to seeing the man that had fought Happosai to an unconclusive ending.
"We need to talk about your friend, Genma," Psylocke noted.
"Ack."
"One more 'ack,'" Wolverine growled. *snckt* Soun swallowed nervously and sat down.
"Oh my," Kasumi said as she came into the room. "I suppose you won't be needing a knife then."
