[the camera takes a moment to focus, but does eventually; have a half-smiling Charles. he looks much better than he did before, for whoever found him in the cafeteria. he's much better rested, at least. there's a mogwai rolling on his bed in the background. he seems to be sitting on the floor.]Aah, seems I've finally figured this out. Hello, fellow

[sup murderman. you look vaguely familiar, but he can't place where.]

Thank you. I'm sure my stay this time will be much more memorable.

[forgodssakeerik]

Understandable, my friend, but thank you all the same.

[. . . . . . oh.

for a second, Charles just stares, his face blank.

then, he smiles warmly, even though there's a deep disquiet in his stomach. he can't let this man know of his abilities. he simply cannot.]

Ah, thank you. Of course, you've heard mine; it's a pleasure to meet you. Have you, ah.. been here long?

[forgodssakeerik]

Honestly, I've only heard your name.

[and a few things he picked off Mohinder.]

So far, I've taken everything I've heard with a grain of salt. Even in such an impossible place, everything sounds so unrealistic.

[that's right, Xavier. lie your ass off.]

[video] I think we need all the CR. all of it.

[forgodssakeerik]

..In any case, it's a pleasure to meet you.

[that one's not such a lie. he's a little afraid but he's not impolite. sheesh!]

It's a difficult situation but we should be able to make the best of it.

[video] fantastic. let's ruin lives B)

I know you're a friend of someone I've met here. He's an interesting enough chap, though a bit skittish.

[he almost says "I hope you don't mind if I talk to him" but realizes how it will sound, and stops, spluttering.]

I-

am very glad to have met him. He's very helpful. Have you known each other long?

[video]

[forgodssakeerik]

He seems so.

[enjoy this smile! because that's the smile of a relieved telepath who's found common ground without lying!]

He's very interested in helping me acclimate. I'm interested in helping him, too.
