Coming from the man who has my sister in his lab at odd hours of the night, is that really wise?

[beathach]

—are you really going there? [THAT ISN'T FAIR, CHARLES] We were sleeping!

[axiomed]

Is that what we're calling it now.

[beathach]

It's not a euphemism.

[axiomed]

[ ALL THE PAYBACK. ]

Oh? Then perhaps it should be.

[beathach]

[that crashing noise you hear is Hank's mind completely derailing. Look away folks, it's ugly]

C-Charles.

[axiomed]

[ He rolls his eyes. ]

This is why no one believes you're thirty, you realize.

[beathach]

[how. How is he supposed to proceed with this]

Or maybe it's because I'm not going to talk about sleeping with my girlfriend with her brother.

[axiomed]

I wasn't expecting you to, but your reaction is rather telling.

[beathach]

[opens mouth.




closes mouth. And then he scowls]

You're being entirely unfair.

[axiomed]

I believe that was the idea. Amazing what one can do without telepathy.

[beathach]

I'm so impressed. [it's so deadpanned.

. . .

He can't let Charles win this]

But if we're being unfair, I have very good hearing, and there's a reason my bedroom is on the other side of the mansion now.

You're loud.

[axiomed]

I am not. And neither is Erik.

[beathach]

Go ahead and see if I'm lying.

[I DARE YOU]

[axiomed]

No thank you. That's the last thing I need to see.

[beathach]

Technically you wouldn't be seeing anything. Unless, of course, you want to see the time I actually walked in on you two.

[he huffs, because this is ridiculous (and only PROVES HIS POINT XAVIER)]

You opened this door, Charles.

[axiomed]

When was this?

[beathach]

Shortly after I moved my room.

[axiomed]

[ His expression flickers. ]

When Erik came to the mansion.

[beathach]

Mm, a little after that. All joking aside, I moved my room to give you two more privacy.

I just forgot that I should knock first, instead of falling into old habits.

[axiomed]

[ He wonders at that. Who knows how long Erik would stay? Charles doesn't have any illusions there. ]

That's understandable.

[beathach]

[he shrugs a shoulder] I'm scarred for life, but I think I might survive.

[axiomed]

[ His smile is wry. ]

As long as you think so.

[beathach]

It's likely. As long as we never have this conversation again.

[axiomed]

I think we can settle for that.
