hellishfire[It had been awhile since Shaw was in this consistent of a good mood for so many consecutive days. Not that he considers himself a dour man by any stretch of the imagination; he likes to attribute at least part of his resilience to his ability to roll with the punches and salute the whims of fate with both middle fingers held high. Still, he vastly prefers to get his way rather than mold an untenable situation to his advantage and he has never, ever gotten his way quite like he has after Cuba.
It's really fucking good to be king.]
Genosha is just the start, of course. An impressive start but one that's barely begun. Just think of what we can do as our influences grow and more brothers and sisters flock to our cause.
[He's never been one for pacing or any excessive movement that didn't have an exact cause and purpose. While always a bit... theatrical, Shaw does tend to be significantly less so when solely in Emma's presence. She's already been wooed to his side after all and there's no sense in trying to influence a telepath period, much less with carefully plotted (and wonderfully cathartic, if he's honest about it) melodramatics. Instead, he's standing at the impressive window of his impressive office looking down at his impressive island with a smirk that could out-Cheshire any kitty any day.]
The rest of the world hasn't even noticed. Never thought a nuclear holocaust would be something to be grateful about, but, well. [shrug] Here we are. Do you think - [He turns to Emma eagerly, all boyish excitement in his face.] This has to affect the birth rate of mutants all across the globe. Mutants strong enough to survive the radiation, breeding with more mutants down the road for even stronger children. It's glorious. And I didn't even plan this part!
