⠀ [ edena had made remarkable progress with her abilities, learning to control them instead of fearing them. with that knowledge now, she found out she could do so much more than what she thought she could. even so, she could not have done this without charles— that fact alone brought her here, standing outside of his office doors late at night, her knuckles tapping against the wooden door while her voice called out his name. ]

@scarredtouch please, if i ever did shoo you away you'd be the first i ever did. [ he responded continuing to neatly compile all of the papers, he was very particular about how he liked to keep things and if they were out of place and not where he expected them to be it would bother him. especially when it came to his office as he spent an excessive about of time here. people grew apart over time it was a natural thing and he'd learned that the hard way. but the idea of not sharing moments with her like this one was something he never wanted to think about. ] [ his gaze remained on her but more out of the corner of his vision now as she made herself comfortable. finally with everything organized he glanced back to ensure he was clear before he carefully backed up from behind his desk wheeling over to be closer to her. ] i have a funny feeling we're going to last, edena. i couldn't imagine a life without you in it. ⟨ at the mention of the comfort of the couch he studied it. ⟩ that couch is quite old actually, but it's withstood the test of time. they simply don't make things like they used to anymore.

⠀ ⠀ [ charles was the first person she’d ever really let in almost entirely and that was scary at first, but she slowly warmed up to the idea of having someone there for her— of having an actual FRIEND. she hadn’t regretted it so far, nor did she think she ever would. if they had a falling out, they’d have a falling out. but she would enjoy their time together for as long as it lasted, cherish him while she had him. ]
⠀ ⠀ just because you have yet to shoo me away doesn’t mean that you won’t. someday, you might get tired of me bothering you so late and sleeping on your couch. [ she grinned, shimmying into the couch a little more before pulling down the blanket he’d so neatly draped on the back. oh, it was so warm. ] well, i think that means you’re growing comfortable in our friendship. often times, at least from friendships i’ve observed, the ones who aren’t try to fill the silence. the ones that last though, they can spend hours together without talking and they’re as strong as ever. [ she turned her head to look at him, a silly grin tugging at her lips. ] oh, i am incredibly comfortable. tell me how your couch is more comfy than my bed? i think that’s criminal.

@scarredtouch [ charles was somewhat of a social butterfly, he had to be especially with how much of his job consisted of simply holding conversation and smoothing over even the worst of situations while still keeping his cool. just because someone seemed okay doesn't mean they really are. deep down he struggled in ways he couldn't explain. but especially with the thought of being left behind, being alone. edena was easily his closest friend and that was no secret, they had gotten closer and closer and that scared charles a little bit. ] oh, why wouldn't i say that.ᐣ i have yet to shoo you away. [ on his desk several papers were scattered along it before he began to collect them, tapping them against the surface to neatly line them up before he slid a paperclip over the corner. ] that's typically how it is, silence around you is just as comfortable. [ he replied as he looked over his shoulder at her in her new location as he smiled softly. ] speaking of comfortable, are / you / comfortable now.ᐣ you were wiggling all over a moment ago.

you’ve certainly been busy, haven’t you ?

@tantalizingtelepathy ྄ᤲ᤺ ( this again, she couldn’t help but roll her eyes at this. it wasn’t like charles could ever understand what it was like. he could parade around passing as a normal person. . . raven wished she knew what that could’ve been like. her eyes shot up to look at him directly. ) erik /was/ right about humans. you just don’t want to believe it. you know exactly why i left, don’t act like that was some big surprise. ( a rather exaggerated exhale was pushed from her lips. as nice as it would’ve been to keep up the sister act, that couldn’t divulge from the truth. they needed to talk about this. ) it’s not beautiful and you know it. it’s too late for that anyway. not everyone can be fixed. he /will/ not stop, especially who has with him. ( that last line was muttered almost. in a way, she’d been replaced. cast out while some new toy stood in her place. the thought of it left a sour taste in her mouth. ) she’ll find out eventually, given her occupation. . . - be careful, charles.
tantalizingtelepathy
@slyenigma do i believe that.ᐣ [ he laughed but not in a way that suggested the conversation was amusing. ] you can't even look me in the eyes and tell me that raven. need i remind you who left who, you left me.. you went with erik who you hardly even knew over me. [ charles exhaled and he leaned back again. ] i don't want you to cover up, i don't want you to have to hide. all mutations are beautiful especially yours. [ at the mention of what had occured between erik and him he tensed up, shaking his head. ] no. she doesn't know and id like to keep it that way. that was .. a mistake i should've never— [ he trailed off before he slightly hung his head, wrapping his arms around himself for a moment. ] raven, i have faith in this world. we can find erik and we can stop him. innocent people have no reason to die in his hands. but i fear he won't stop until he himself is dead or locked up where he truly cannot escape. he .. cannot be fixed. ive tried my very best with him.
slyenigma
@tantalizingtelepathy ྄ᤲ᤺ oh please, i was never his accomplice. ( the notion of that made raven scoff at charles. ) you really believe that ? all you wanted me to do was “cover up.” (. . . ) does she know what happened between you two ? probably not, you can’t even keep your own kitchen clean. but, here you are trying to clean others. as long as erik is around, he’s going to try and kill as many people as possible. what “easier” world is that ? ( her fingers started to pull at the inner linings of her coat pockets. even as she spoke, she remained turned from him. ) they’ll always be feared. nothing is going to change. this needs to work, charles.

@tantalizingtelepathy ྄ᤲ᤺ yeah, he deserves a little break. i'm not much of a party person, but i can sacrifice how i am for a few hours. ( she gave the other a small nudge at the mention of friends. she was pretty fond of hank. ) actually, he might be wondering where i went off to. . .
tantalizingtelepathy
@strongshields [ hank smiled and nodded at this, he wasn't fond of ever being doubted. it was like a punch to the gut when he was. ] eh, i needed a break from all the blue. [ he took a small drink from his own cup now, he was in no way a heavy drinker at all he wouldn't be found to be tipsy ever. at least not in such a noisy and unpredictable atmosphere. ] you don't have to thank me, it's what friends are for, right.ᐣ charles has really been through it, i really like seeing him happy.
strongshields
@tantalizingtelepathy ྄ᤲ᤺ ( lorene rose her hands up in her defense. ) hey, i never doubted you, hank. it was so worth it. ( as she went to take another sip from her cup, lorene noticed it was. . . empty. had she really been slurping it up ? perhaps it was time for another. ) mm. i can see the commitment, but i don't think the blue would've hurt. you both are adorable together. thanks for helping me.

the visits between them have grown into more frequent trips. the time spent between them were divided, between schooling hours and what lied after that. usually, lorene tended to stay with charles at the manor. to be close to him for one, and it beat driving further after coming for virginia. the drive alone after working various hours created great strain on lorene.
with all the powers she possessed, none were immune to human nature. she was still prone to dozing off. especially after those long drives. more often than not, the new pair would rest together. that way they could spend the most time together for those days they couldn't.
being a pair now was something lorene was still getting used to. she had spent so much of her time alone that it was hard to remember someone was now in it. though, she would never mind it from charles. but she would mind moments like these. (1/2)
tantalizingtelepathy
@strongshields do not start with that again. there is no xavier here, only charles. [ as her mind wandered his did too. a nice quiet place he very often naturally drifted to. he was drawn to her on so many levels. being with her was never stressful it was like a nice reset form the stress of his everyday life. ] [ the telepath was very physically affectionate, physical touch was his love language. when he was close to her he always had the urge to be touching her in some way. it made him feel so warm and loved especially when they were a cuddled up to each other like this. it wasn't their intention to fall asleep together like this in the first place but he wouldn't want it any other way. ] hm, maybe you will. but the passes are limited [ he teased before he yawned stretching his arms and settling in. he noticed her drastic change in demeanor the moment he began to scratch her head. he smiled holding her close, pressing her head against his chest as he continued to scratch. as he was still in her head he felt the waves of drowsiness hitting him as well. when he was in her mind he felt exactly what she did and now his own eyes suddenly felt so heavy before they fluttered shut. ]

@tantalizingtelepathy ྄ᤲ᤺ " alright, xavier, if thats what you want." lorene grinned, adjusting herself comfortably at his side. it was nice to let her mind wander, even if that meant he wandered in to it as well. his laughs were truly heartening, they only widened her smug demeanor. opening up to someone like this never felt better. she was relaxed around charles behind closed doors, which was a drastic change from their last few meetings. " a pass ? how generous. am i going to need a pass for a lot of things now?" as she spoke, her words began to string apart. the sudden feeling of her head being scratched made her feel drowsy. it was like a wave of exhaustion had finally hit her. it wasn't something that she could fight off. perhaps all the various emotions were catching up to her. even her eyes began to feel weighted from being open.
tantalizingtelepathy
@strongshields it will take some time, adjustments and lots of patience. all of which i am more than willing to offer to you. [ he pressed his cheek against his cool pillow looking down to her ] simmer down, would you.ᐣ we're relaxing now. [ her giggles were contagious and he laughed softly alongside her. in this moment he found himself drifting off too. but not to sleep, right into her mind where he felt her happiness. when he accessed anothers mind he felt what they felt. his fingers carded through her hair a few more times before he began to scratch to top of her head. ] [ something stood out to him in that sentence. she'd indirectly told him she loved him. this brought a smile to his lips. ] it's still poking fun at me regardless of the context. but you get a pass .. i suppose.

*̲ i want you.
scarredtouch
you wanted to see me?
tantalizingtelepathy
@scarredtouch alright, one it is then. [ he was overjoyed to see her actually excited about this, as he was thrilled himself. he truly didn't get out and away from the school too terribly often. ] oh really.ᐣ im quite excited too. i haven't been out in a hot minute. this will be very nice for us both.
scarredtouch
⠀ yeah, one works perfectly. [edena nodded with a soft smile in agreement, as if her words weren’t already a clear enough confirmation for him.] oh, brunch sounds absolutely delicious. ( .. ) i’m going to tell you an embarrassing fact, but it’s been quite a while since i’ve eaten during the day. i’m actually kind of excited for this.
tantalizingtelepathy
@scarredtouch [ charles pursed his lips for a moment before he leaned back against his chair. ] mm perhaps around 1.ᐣ if you truly don't mind. there's a small little restaurant right up the street, lovely little brunch place a couple of minutes up the road.
