No. He's always been that as well.

I don't think you'd be with someone who wasn't extraordinary. You're pretty awesome, yourself.

At times, I suppose.

Most times. [She nods wisely.] Except when you're being a scrub. But that's why you've got friends to tell you to knock it off.

[She thinks about what Charles has said about the planet so far.] So being here... is it kind of like being on a planet full of people like you?

Close enough. They don't have my . . . strength, but they are the closest I've seen in a while.

[She nods.] That's so good, though, having people around who can understand you like that. [She knows how hard it's been for him to even talk about the telepathy thing at times, because he expects negative reactions. Not having that hanging over him at all must be amazing. She knows what it feels like when she runs across someone like Winter or Maine. A whole planet like that?

Okay, a whole planet of Winters and Maines would be... really not good. Scratch that.]

It's certainly a nice change of pace.

Not having to be scared really is.

It helps.

Do you think you'll ever not be scared? [Obviously right here is fine, but they're not going to be staying here permanently.]

I'm sorry.

Don't be. It's no one's fault.

Re: [ wrath ]

That's not true. Fear doesn't happen in a vacuum. Someone gave you a reason to be scared.

Sometimes people are afraid of the wrong thing.

Even so. It's not my place to tell them that.

I saw the future. I saw who I was, who I could be, what I could keep if I had that kind of hope.

I'm not saying I -- deserve it. But I am saying I can hold it.
