Maximillian Gray
Max couldn't help but smile at those two. Something about their relationship just seemed right. The perfect balance of order and chaos mixed into one unit that was now thinking of raising a child. Sure the idea of it seemed a bit…terrifying. Max didn't even know if Casper could stay focused long enough to change a diaper, but if James or him ever needed help, Max would be willing to lend a hand. For a brief moment the idea of raising one of his own crossed his mind. After all there were now a plethora of orphans thanks to the attack, but somehow being a single dad whose constantly tipping along the lines of magic and mayhem just seemed like a bad start to being father of the year.
Max's concentration broke as a familiar face began to approach them. He hadn't thought much of it, Callie was part of the Underground so why wouldn't she come visit at the Lagoon? But what she said next caught him off guard. He couldn't help but wonder if he was in some sort of trouble, perhaps he'd done something wrong, or they found out about his attempt to alter Selene's spell, but whatever it was he had to face the music. No more running. "Uh. Sure. Mind if Ben tags along? He's sorta my date for the evening while James and Casper have some alone time." Max held his hand slightly out for Ben to take, something he was sure he couldn't do but the thought counted for something.
Max looked around the Green Lagoon and quickly realised there was no privacy to be found. Especially for those whose names and faces the entire island knew. He thought back towards what Sunshine was saying about the Real Housewives of Genosha and let out a tired sigh. "It's a bit crowded here though, mind if I take us elsewhere to talk?" Much like before with what he'd said about Ben, this was less of a question and more of a warning. Max turned his wrist as his fingers began to spark magic. Unfortunately that was all that happened at first. A second try produced a swirl of cosmic energy formed before the portal came to view and opened up a doorway towards a lush jungle landscape where he could've sworn he heard a dinosaur roaring off into the distance. Afraid to find out if he was right or not, Max tried for a third time, finally his and Sunshines room came into view. He crossed through and laid down on his bed, grabbing a nearby object and tossing it into the air before it fell back into his hands. "So what's up?"

Harry chuckled at Sunshines dig towards Casper. It was true the psychic mutant held a massively childish charm, and could hardly be seen as a father figure, but he was certain if anything that James would step in or Ben would talk Casper out of most idiotic ideas. His attention shifting back to Marrow and Sunshine, Harry smiled at Marrow's push to try asking Northstar out. It was a nice idea, finding someone, after how much time had passed now, even if some of it was spent on ice. Still, there was a pit of a feeling in his chest. She'd want him to be happy, but he'd feel bad knowing he'd always love her regardless of who he was with. Or so that's what he thought.
When Sunshine brought up Veil's potential interest in Northstars twin sister Aurora, he spread his hands as if to say he couldn't do much else. "Well then that's that I suppose. If anyone deserves happiness out of the two of us it's Val. Kid sis deserves a break, and if that means me stepping aside from Genoshas most eligible Bachelor then so be it. Oh and if any of you dare tell her I called her Val you'll find yourselves on the bad end of a nuggy you got it?" Harry teased with a wagged finger. As if cue, Veil came in with Callie who had spoken something to Max. Before long Max was conjuring portal's and Harry's lip curled slightly into a frown. "Not staying long i take it? Don't work too hard, Veil. Callie make sure she gets rest."
