Thank you! God I love your comments. No, Charles hasn't stopped Erik, and you're right, he hasn;t encouraged him either--but then that's because he's not entirely sure what Erik wants, and even if he was he'd have no idea how to reciprocate. He has no idea how to express his feelings or needs... which is bad, because when you're even less emotionally developed than one Erik Lehnsherr, you know you're in it deep, lol.

I am so humbled by the fact you think of them as real people, and feel this way about them <3 I often thin of them as real people myself, which is why I try to make them as human as possible. By the end of the chapter Erik did manage to break Charles down a little, as you say. The problem now is getting Charles to start meeting Erik halfway, right? He can't do all the work! For all that Charles is kind and sweet to the children, he's got no idea how to handle his own deeper feeling, so no, he doesn't normally react to them. Typically he discards them and moves according to reason.

You know, I admit, I thought there would be more action in this chapter myself, but then the story didn't turn out like that, and I feel it's the best to let it flow. I do like writing actions scenes, so you'll have that soon enough.

Thank you again <3
