[athru]

[ He never needed to, not really. She had always just been... Afraid. ]

Now that we're back together.

[axiomed]

Now that we have this time.

[athru]

So you're prepared for months of me sitting on you and playing with your hair, then.

[axiomed]

I can manage.

[athru]

It's a hard job, I know. [ She smiles, shifting to move back and give him a little bit of space. ]

[axiomed]

Absolutely taxing.

[athru]

You poor man.

[ She laughs, leaning up and shaking her head. ]

I'm lucky you love me.

[axiomed]

[ His eyes soften. ]

No. I was the lucky one.

[athru]

Charles.

[ She wraps herself around him again, squeezing her arms gently. ]

[axiomed]

[ He laughs. ]

Just saying it truthfully.

[athru]

How come you're sweet when you do it and I just sound like an idiot?

[axiomed]

Years of practice. And an earnest face.

[athru]

I can manage one of the two, but I'd have to cheat.

[axiomed]

Well, I wouldn't stop you.

[athru]

Is that permission to walk around as you? It would confuse the entire fleet.

[axiomed]

[ Casually. ]

I'm sure you won't use your powers for anything too evil.

[athru]

I promise I won't trick people into thinking you're worse than you are.

[axiomed]

That seems fair.

[athru]

... That does make me think. I wonder how long I could fool, say, Hank.

[axiomed]

[ Charles considers this, rubbing his chin lightly. ]

It's hard to say. Hank would have the best grasp of what I am like now, other than Erik.

[athru]

I am not going to try and trick Erik.

[ Ew. ]

It has been a while since I was you for more than a second. I'm rusty.

[axiomed]

You should try it. It'll be good practice.

[athru]

I do know you better than I know anyone else... At least, I used to. I've got some catching up to do.

[ Tilting her head, Raven looks him up and down. ]

Did I tell you what Mystique told me about our powers?

[axiomed]

[ He pauses. ]

She's told me a great deal. You'll need to be more specific.

[athru]

Turning into birds. Animals. Not just people or mutants.
