[ He grins a little at that. ] Yes, we absolutely should. It sounds like we should start a movie watching night, doesn't it?
[ That sounds like a mundane and fun thing to do... Shigeru would probably enjoy it, as well as Hana and Gladio. (Maybe he could get Reyes to skulk around.)
Where his mother is concerned, Genji has the most positive memories of her. He wonders what he would think of her now, if she hadn't died when he was fifteen. Would she have vetoed the order to have him 'removed'? Would she have him smuggled out, perhaps to Overwatch itself? Would she have... agreed? (Would she have thought he was a disappointment as well? is the real question, underneath that.)
But he won't ever know those things. So he's content to envelop himself in the happier memories of her helping them with languages, training them, taking them out to see the festivals and the flowers when they bloomed. She tried her best to hide the blood on her hands.
His grin turns into a nostalgic little smile when Cisco talks of his childhood, nodding. ]
I understand that. My brother had more intense, formal education and training than I did. I just picked it up from our mother, school and movies and video games. Eventually I was just sort of tossed into dealings with English speaking gangs and told to sink or swim, more or less. [ He chuckles. ] I'm only genuinely fluent in the two, but you pick up a lot of others when you work for an international organization. We all had to figure out ways to communicate with each other.
[ But at what he says next, it makes Genji genuinely glad. Warmth expands in his chest for a moment. ]
I am very glad to hear it. We can continuing working on things as you feel up to it. And maybe see about this abilities of yours... I do know what it's like to have to learn control.
[ He's talking about his augmentations and something else, where a certain tattoo on his back is concerned. ]
