He had situated himself to sit out in the yard, against one of the trees. His wheelchair was beside him, an ever faithful companion, but he hated sitting in it all the time. His head was leaned back against the tree, eyes closed, with the PORTAL in his lap. It was a bit of a cat nap, though the sound of Raven's thoughts stirred him from it. Charles raised his head and looked down the small gravel pathway, expecting to find the blue skinned woman and found her fair skin and blond haired disguise instead.
Saying he was surprised was a bit of an understatement.

Raven's thoughts were obviously in a troubled whirl at the present moment given just who was on her mind, but the young woman still managed a small smile before approaching her brother. "Mind if I join you? It looks nice under there."

He put his hands on the ground and shifted himself over. His legs dragged a little, but, there wasn't much he could do about that. Despite it, he offered her a smile and gave a pat to the grass beside him.

"Good." She bumped against his side gently in a playful way. "I like to think of the Mansion like it is partially mine after all of my years here, so I will just include all of the lawn in that ownership too."

"Then I suppose I'll need to get your permission as well as Sean and Alex's whenever someone could potentially move in." Charles noted. "You can have the lawn as long as you do not claim the cellar. I have a hard enough time keeping Alex out of it."

With a genuinely content grin at her brother, the blonde leaned up against his side again, resting there this time.
"Well, he's free to shut the door and never come out again." Which should explain her feelings for Alex pretty damn accurately. "So that deal works well for me."

Raven leaned back against his touch, sighing.
"I know, I know. It's just difficult. Sean has been really okay with me here, but Alex doesn't seem happy with anything I do. But don't worry, I'll keep trying."

Charles simply nodded. He and Raven had grown close again, but Charles still knew that it was possible they'd part ways again. Either one of them could leave at a moment's notice, like Erik had, or they could find themselves on opposite sides again. He tried not to think about it.

"Don't worry so much, Charles. You should know me better than that. Especially if you have access to my head now." She threw him a sweet, secret smile at that. "No matter how much we may disagree, neither of us would let it interfere in a real situation." Or at least she certainly hoped not.
"But enough about that." There was absolutely point in prolonging a conversation like that one. "Today is too nice to waste on unpleasantness. I just want to have a nice time with you. It's been too long, don't you think?"

That made him chuckle, though, even if it was a bit forced. "Yes, quite. We haven't had much time since the entire adventure with Shaw started, have we? Which reminds me..." Charles kissed the side of her head and pulled his arm back, reaching up into his wheelchair. He scooped up the blankets in his hands, moving it to his lap. Whatever it was inside was still hidden.
"This is something you may be rather interested in."

"Oooh, a surprise? For me?" Her eyes practically dance in excitement. "What is it?"

A smile spread on his face. "While I wouldn't call it a pet, at least we'll have an animal of some sorts in the house. Considering Kurt would never let us have one."
