I doubt we'll have much of that, but you're right. [he huffs out a noise, a low, annoyed growl]

Maybe we can come up with a code or something for when privacy isn't an option.

[axiomed]

And complete the circle where we look like bloody idiots.

[ Weren't their code names bad enough? ]

I guess it can't hurt to try.

[beathach]

[what's wrong with the code names??]

Since when do we look like - er, bloody idiots?

[axiomed]

[ Ah, to be young and have no discernible taste. ]

When we managed to say names like Magneto with a straight face.

[beathach]

[this is the straightest face]

That was all Raven's idea, Professor X.

[he went there]

[axiomed]

[ He makes a face. ]

Thank goodness it was never put to a vote.

[beathach]

A vote wasn't necessary. [he finally smiles, because it's a good memory]

[axiomed]

I disagree completely.

[beathach]

[lightly]

Well, it would be a vote you'd lose.

[axiomed]

Against teenagers, perhaps.

[beathach]

Perhaps.

[solemnly]

I'm sorry Charles, but you're stuck with your code name. This isn't an argument you're going to win.

[axiomed]

[ He scoffs lightly. ]

No one calls me that anyway.

[beathach]

Not yet. [he smiles again] When Logan first arrived at the mansion, he called me "Beast". So maybe it's something that catches on down the road.

[axiomed]

Or maybe they didn't have manners in the future.

[ You two were creating a mess. ]

[beathach]

I think that's a Logan thing, not a future thing.

[he punched me FIRST]

[axiomed]

I can't deny that.

[beathach]

[and there's that suspiciously light, bratty tone again]

If it really bothers you, we could come up with a different code name.

[axiomed]

How about no. I have had enough names to last me a lifetime.

[beathach]

Mm, that's true enough. I'm afraid you're stuck with it then, professor.

[axiomed]

I doubt anyone will make use of it here.

[beathach]

[he just shrugs]

I already call you "professor". [as much as he teases, he's not going to use it himself]

[axiomed]

I am actually a professor.

[beathach]

[he. Actually rolls his eyes]

I don't use it as a title and you know that.

[axiomed]

It's not as thought I earned a PhD or anything.

[beathach]

[dryly]

Yes, I know. I have one, too.
