Who: Charles Xavier + You
Broadcast: Voice
Action: SS Heron
When: Now

I had a lecture planned but I realized it felt rather redundant. We have huge list of lectures and while each topic is interesting, I feel it lacks the feedback aspect that's so important in our education. To quote one of my favourite books . . .

"The best thing about being sad is to learn something. That is the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then—to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. Learning is the thing for you"

So, I put the question to the Fleet. What would you like to learn and how can we help each other? I hold classes on the Iskaulit for training of powers, but I'd be happy to broaden my classes for other subjects and needs.

All you need to do is ask.

By all means, stop by anytime.

I still need to find a way to thank you and Erik for my birthday, so I have to, definitely.

[ He pauses. ]

It wasn't a coordinated effort, but I'm sure he'd appreciate that too.

Well, you didn't appear on the Vanquish together. I assumed it wasn't.

[ She doesn't pry, though; Erik had told her what happened to him at home. She knows what he's been through. ]

[ Charles doesn't know how to respond to that. ]

Well, I'm glad he made the trip.

I'm glad you both made the trip. It's been a long time since I celebrated my birthday with something nice instead of some kind of curse.

I believe Caster deserves the thanks for that.

Yes, well. I suppose a little embarrassment was worth it in the long run.

It was a very . . . loud network announcement.

[ And very out of place with what he knew about Hermione, but balance is good. ]

[ She just groans quietly. ]

She's a very... Loud person?

[ He chuckles. ]

She can certainly project herself.

At least she's stopped calling me her husband...

She said that?

Oh, she's said lots of things, but she's started to actually listen to me now...

That's always an improvement, I find.

I think she's started to realise my being her Master doesn't mean I'm not her friend.

It's an uphill climb but I'm sure it gets easier over time.

It has to. We're stuck together until one of us leaves or her Master turns up, so we have to just get used to it.

She already has a master then?

She had someone in her world, but when she woke up here their connection was gone. She needed someone otherwise she wouldn't be able to survive here.

[ Ah, right. ]

I remember that. Mars was the same.

Diarmuid was the same, just a different kind of heroic spirit. Gilgamesh too.

I only knew Mars and for a short time. She had a link with me. I never got the chance to learn her real name.

I'm sorry for that. I mean, I know their real names are important to them anyway, because it's their story and people can use it against them, but...

I didn't know that. We had to give each other names when we wake up. No memories after all. I was Janus for a while.
