It took all Aideen had in her to not freeze over in front of Cyclops when he mentioned Sabretooth. The minute he left though, she took a seat on the bed and stared straight ahead, her mind frozen for one moment in time as she remembered that encounter from all those months ago. Sometimes she could still feel the breath on his face when he had her pinned down. There had never been a moment before then that she had truly feared for her life, nor a moment where she had to admit defeat and that against him she couldn't win. Her body was weak from the cold, in no way able to produce enough fire or heat to deter him. "Sabretooth... how...?" she whispered in an emotionless tone. Why would he be- Did Logan know- oh God of course he did, he's known Sabretooth for several lifetimes, and told me often that he knew that guy better than he wants. And he didn't tell me.
It was a crazy tug of war on her emotional mindset right then. It was like her body couldn't settle between anger, hurt, and an intense fear. The turmoil was enough to give her that flare she needed for her body temperature to rise again to a little above it's usual warmth. It took a moment for her body to settle on an emotion to project, and that emotion happened to be anger. "That bastard. That hypocritical bastard kept it from me," Aideen spat, all previous elation from becoming a member of the X-Men gone. Eyes blazing, she walked over to her closet and took out a pair of older knee high riding boots, taking hers off and putting them away while pulling on the long boots the fit like a glove over her defined calves.
"He gave me a whole speech about being honest and not keeping things from each other, and now this?" Despite the venom and anger in her words, she was far too controlled to slam the door to the closet like anyone else would have. "I may know next to nothing about intimate relationships other than the physical activities, but I can't conceive how keeping something this important from someone you claim to care about could be part of a good relationship," she said transferring her boot knives into her current pair, doing everything just as she would if she were calm. The heat waves that were starting to radiate from her body told a different story. "I should have taken care of this whole thing myself. I should have gone to Cyclops and resigned from the school and as a student and just told him the situation. This emotional mindset is too complicated and I feel like my body is going through a menopausal mood swing with the way I have been because of him!"
Aideen took several deep breaths and tried to calm her body, counting backward from a hundred to get a hold of herself before she allowed herself more out of control than she already had. "Let him do what he wants, I have my own duties," she said in a calm stoic voice as she grabbed a pair of riding gloves she kept in her drawers. "I'm sorry Niki I didn't mean to unload and have a moment of unnecessary emotion. I was caught off guard," she said sincerely to her friend while slipping the gloves into the back pocket of her jeans. "I should probably get to the horses, Emma asked that I help out and I know I am considerably late," she added softly, eyes still blazing in anger toward Logan and disgust with herself for falling into this whole thing.
