"And yes, I heard quite a bit about the various friends you've already made here." But somehow, she'd completely missed any and all word of whoever this Noah girl was. No doubt she would find out soon enough.
She flashed a smile to Erik, showing the man she hadn't forgotten about him. "Erik and I spoke to quite a few of them already. There are already more mutants here than I would have expected." Granted, there were also some perverts that she'd much rather avoid...

He gave a gesture for them to take a seat at the table. It was an unspoken way of making themselves comfortable. "Erik, please. Remove that bloody helmet. It's ridiculous."

Then his attention was drawn back to Charles and he took a seat at the familiar table, keeping his face as stoic as possible without letting the overbearing emotions weigh him down. It was painfully obvious in his eyes though, that something was bothering him, "How is that any different then? That one young girl I spoke to, Rapunzel, said that humans had been cruel to her, just as they are to us. Should we not look at her as one of our own? If only because she is different and has faced the hardships we still have to deal with regularly?"
Reluctantly he lifted his hands up, slowly pulling the helmet from his head and setting it down on the table. Call it a silent truce between them for the time being, or call it pure respect for his friend. Whatever it may have been, he did it.

As Erik surprisingly removed that unique helmet of his and made himself comfortable at the kitchen table, Raven knew for a fact that Charles would respect the privacy of his friend, just as he had always so kindly done for her. He was too honest of a man to betray their trust like that.
And oh please, Professor Xavier. Raven has spent more than enough time in this kitchen to feel completely at ease. She waved the man in the wheelchair towards the kitchen table to join his friend. "What can I get you both? Tea? Something to eat?"

Then his eyes settled on the removed helmet. He somehow managed to keep his face expressionless, even if he felt nothing but disdain for the item. It wasn't that it blocked his telepathy, it was what it stood for in his mind: distrust. He understood the need for the helmet, after all there were telepaths such as Emma Frost, or even in the city ones that Erik shouldn't be opening his mind to. But still, it was the comment that had come before him putting the helmet on his head. 'But I don't trust you.' He had told Erik that he wouldn't make him stay, why would Erik feel as if the bloody thing was needed?
Charles shifted uncomfortably before daring to look up at his best friend. He could feel Erik's mind again but purposely kept away from it, just as he had with Raven. It made him feel alone in that manner that only telepaths did, and his fingers curled on the arms of his wheelchair slightly. It was clear the two men had things to talk about but were holding them off for the sake of the blue woman in the kitchen.
"Mutants can be cruel to each other just as much as humans can be cruel to us or to each other. That is something the both of you must remember."
