"You're not that hard to read," Erik gives back, a rather firm statement of such, and lifts his piece to knock out one of Charles' pieces with a flick of his wrist, the other man not even seeming relatively bothered that he was being bested.

"I guess I'll have to work on that," Charles laughs in response, and Erik looks at him with those cold eyes and that straight-lipped expression of his, making Charles' stomach flip in response. Can't fight a face like that. Even more so, you don't want to, so Charles leans forward in his seat and rests his arms on his legs in the same manner as Erik, like he's going to whisper a secret to the other man, but his voice comes out more accusingly than he initially planned when he speaks. "The kids have all somehow aged backwards, as well as ourselves, Alex set his room on fire and destroyed  of half of the hallway, and you're not even relatively phased." When Erik sits back in his seat with the same pokerfaced expression and a gentle shrug, running his fingers over his mouth, Charles sits back in his seat too, looking sidelong towards the ground, pushing his tongue to his molar.

After a long, silent moment, Charles shakes his head slightly and speaks again, in a soft tone like what he said was a secret, "Both Hank and Alex called me dad." When Erik didn't say anything, he allowed himself to continue, his voice still quiet. "The way Hank said it though, it was almost as if... as if he truly thought I was his father."

A still silence settles in then and Erik sits back, his eyes on the chess board, staring rather intently. Charles looks at him, and after a long moment, Erik raises his hand to grab a chess piece and knock his King down. Charles makes a bit of a face Erik probably would have been proud to see, but instead he stands up and pushes the seat back slightly to walk around the chair, heading slowly towards the way he came in. "You know..." He trails off and pauses in the doorway, one hand on the doorframe, his voice soft when speaking. He looks over his shoulder, back at Charles, almost right into his eyes. "You might as well be their father, Charles."

Then, he's gone, and Charles doesn't know how to feel.
