Logan continued to walk for a minute before realising that they weren't coming the way he had expected. He sighed. Then he heard footsteps behind him. He sniffed the air and smiled. He stopped walking and turned to face Noriko. In the morning light she reminded him of some of the young women he'd known during his time in Japan. At times she even reminded him of Mariko, more so as she learned to act responsibly. He was definitely happy with the progress she was making in her studies and her training and that made his decision to let her be a full X-Man even more difficult.<br/><br/>He took a few steps closer to her before greeting her in Japanese. "Good morning Nori, I see you've been studying again. I hope you've learned some interesting things already today. You will be able to continue your own private studies for another week. We've decided to wait a week before starting regular classes. Though some time in the next few days I would like to speak to you about the X-Men. I can't make any promises, but Ororo believes it may be time to make you a full member." He paused and pulled a small notebook out of his pocket with a small pencil. "Let's meet tomorrow morning in my office to talk about it. I want to be sure you are ready before agreeing." He looked into her eyes, hoping he wasn't raising her hopes too much. He felt he needed to be honest with her though.
