Their rental car breaks down again.
Charles’ irritation at their setback is tempered by how oddly endearing he finds Erik at his wits end, slamming the hood down angrily.
“Verdammt auto!”
Charles emits calm. “With practice I bet you would be able to float this sorry excuse for an automobile.”
Erik rolls his eyes. “What a wonderfully pedestrian use of my mutation.” Tapping fingers to his temple he continues, “You could help with a call for assistance.”
“Or we could take a walk.” Charles tugs Erik’s coat sleeve. “Fresh air, good company…”
He smiles when he hears Erik eventually follow.
