I SWEAR I'M STILL MAKING MY WAY THROUGH RELATIONSHIP REPLY THINGS sob I'm just coping unhealthily with the beginning of the school year a bit for now BUT I'LL GET BACK ON THE BALL

So. What is it actually like to be roommates with the god emperor Leto Atreides the II.

[sueperman]

God, Leto is probably a really quiet room-mate. He doesn't sleep much and when he does, he has full consciousness in his dreams. HOWEVER, Leto does like board-games and he's amazingly good at it, so be prepared to get your ass kicked in chess. Beyond that, Charles may notice that Leto doesn't really care about routine. He probably changes it every week or so, just to keep his mind occupied.

Thoughts on Sabra!Charles and Erik.

[mind_over_metal]

Charles will seriously be thrilled by the board games. And as much as he enjoys winning, he'd love having an overwhelmingly good opponent.

...SO MANY THOUGHTS. It was all really kind of overwhelming for Charles. He was honestly kind of jealous of Sabra!Charles -- for his mobility, for his chance to change things, for the relationship he still had with Sabra!Erik. But he dealt with it as he deals with funky emotional stuff -- repression, dissociation and compartmentalization. :Db Which, fun though I make of it, does let him digest the moderately weird stuff in a way that's manageable for him, so he got... normalized with Sabra!Charles after not too long, able to consider him a separate person while at the same time feeling that very understandable closeness. Charles is not used to having someone who understands him! Or who could understand him, even if they don't at the moment. It was like the best type of talking to yourself -- he had the freedom of talking to himself with an other!himself that actually responded! And it did bring

Sabra!Charles didn't mind the version of himself that much. He wasn't really unnerved or anything. He could understand why a version with memories might be slightly different and he could tell a lot had happened. Generally, he's not really... pushy. With Erik, he can do that, because they have a connection, but in general, he's somewhat wary of forcing his viewpoint on others, even if he feels he's right. So, to him, Charles being slightly mopey was logical. He understood and he didn't want to make him feel worse

[mind_over_metal]

So Leto is kind of like a... shared interest for Erik and Charles, so to speak. And Charles actually kind of likes it. He's something that Erik and Charles can deal with together, talk about, argue over -- but in a way that's more like having drinks together a chess game (a normal chess game, not one right before, say, heading off to stop WWIII). It's personal and it's invested, to be sure, but it's not... urgent. It's them being somewhere in between being face-to-face and being side by side.

So, in a sense, they are using Leto, but both Charles and Erik are users, so that's no shock there. And Charles is well aware of how Erik sometimes tries to use Leto against him, to goad him, to make him jealous. And Charles is just, like, oh, you because while Charles certainly doesn't understand all of that emotional stuff Erik has going on, he can recognize when he's being baited and, in this case, the bait is ineffective. It's like Erik trying to temp Charles with something he himself wants

For Leto, his interest came from the fact he shares similarities with both of them. They both take on tough choices, have made sacrifices and they have all been otracized one way or another. That being said, Leto thought they would be fun for him. Poke, poke, let's laugh at this silly human/mutant arguments, wow humanity is so hilarious.

What he didn't expect was their vested interest in himself. It's one thing to prod around, stirring up emotions, it's another thing entirely when they become invested in him. He has very bad knee-jerk reactions, especially when he knows they don't exactly see him clearly, their own experiences colouring their perception of him. Charles sees similarities, Erik sees someone who is markedly different from humans... Leto's well-aware that ultimately, they don't really know him at all, and that hurts! Which is why he is, at times, harsher with Erik and Charles than he would be with anyone else.

Yet, at the same time, Leto does feel that out of anyone else in camp, they have the greatest potential to
