Right, ah, the first order of the day, I suppose, is to introduce myself. We've had rather a lot of new people show up in the last two weeks and I'm afraid I've had my head a bit buried in the sand. Hello, everyone, my name is Charles Xavier; it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance.

The second order is-- ah. Hm.

A telepath, huh? Here I'd been hoping for a different reason about those funny looks you give me.

[He might be more bothered about this, but he's guessing - or hoping - that the power doesn't cross the organic/inorganic barrier.]

[bwar?]

And what reason would that be, Officer?

[HE'S NOT GAY HE'S JUST EUROPEANNNNNN]

[ARE YOU SURE, BABY?]

Oh, you're smart as a whip. I'm sure you'll figure it yourself.
So. Seen anything interestin' in this old noggin'a mine?

[The most European.]

-- Actually, no. Honestly, if I didn't know better, I'd think there was more to you than meets the eye.

[spoiler warning: he doesn't know better.]

[Oh-ho-ho. He loves when people do that. It's so cute he almost can't handle it.]

Mm. Not even a 'for rent' sign up here? That's disappointing.
It would seem the same's true f'r you, darlin'. You're a bit more than's expected.

[Not quite an affirmation... not quite a denial, either.]

You sell yourself entirely too short, I believe. I doubt I'm the only one of us that's as smart as a whip.

Yes. Well. We all have our secrets, mm?

Smart and flattering. Someone hit the jackpot with you, or will.

So it would seem. Mm. [Considering, considering...] Well. Since you gave up one of yours, I could give up one of mine t'you.

[rofl, he laughs.]

No one yet, I'm afraid.

And, ah-- only if you're comfortable with the idea. I wouldn't want to pry.

[He chuckles.]

Well they are surely missin' out.

And it wouldn't be pryin' at all, darlin'. [Most of the station knows already, after all, though he's still not going to out himself - again - on the network.] Besides, wouldn't be adverse to you knowing, anyway.

[he smiles. There is Alex, of course-- but he's not sure where they stand exactly in relation to one another. He cares for her, and he's aware that the reverse is also true, but-- well. Being on Sacrosanct sort of complicates things, doesn't it.]

Well, in that case, you remember where I live, yes? You're free to stop in whenever you wish.

[Being anywhere other complicates things. But Barricade made it work anyway, when he had someone like that. It had been worth it, awkwardness aside.]

I do. I'll be by shortly, then, if you ain't busy.

[He knows you're probably dealing with a lot right now.]

By all means, my friend.

[You, good sir, are adorable. He'd keep you if someone wasn't sure to take offense.]

I'll be right over, then.

[Vroom vroom, baby.]

[And what's this? Charles is waiting outside? With one hand wrapped around a cup of tea and Dumas' The Count of Monte Cristo in the other.

Since, sir, he's noticed you don't enjoy being indoors.]

[Oh, come out to meet him? You, fine sir, are the sweetest. He rolls up and 'Cade' steps out of the car, opening and closing the door as smooth as ever. He nods in greeting before smiling and pointing to the book.]

Count of Monte Cristo?

[Reinvention and secrets and loss. Appropriate. Though... well. Chances at revenge were far away and long-lost.]

I-- yes. [he turns the little leatherbound book over in his hands contemplatively.]

I've always enjoyed the Les Trois Mousquetaires, but this one-- it's a little overburdened by revenge, I think. I'm glad of course that Dantès found his peace in the end, but I... rather mislike the road he took to get there.

[He sets it aside with a bit of a helpless shrug. Edmond? Remind him of Erik? Never.]
