Harper's got some sort of affection for Rossi, it looks like - I'll ask her about it when her hackles are less up. Or I won't - it frustrates me that that arrogant greaseball worms his way into my territory. What makes him so likeable? I have my flaws, perhaps, but he's no less an asshole than I am ( Read more... )

Perhaps it's petty - but I don't like the man's attitude, and I think it's important that people learn some respect. Lensherr has that going for him, at least - he's managed to convince the world at large not to mouth off to him.

It bothers me how much I rely upon Bahir al-Razi; he's the strongest link in the chain, no question, but then - isn't that a paradoxical weakness all its own? And with his power - what's trust? What's reliance? What can I really believe or not believe ( Read more... )

They're right, perhaps, about the damnable Jean Grey - she's fire, dangerous, hot to touch, but fire is always the most /useful/ of mankind's tools, even if it also the most destructive.

He's right, of course. I'll apologize to Harper when she gets back from the Dylan Melcross affair. We've grown apart, regardless - my control over her has always been personal. Perhaps that needs to be reasserted.

As for Percy... He's right there, too, but fuck me if I'm going to apologize first. I'm the Black King - he can apologize to me.

Percy, perhaps I need to revise my earlier estimate - you have at least half a wit after all. Don't forget about boating, and write me once you've had that meeting that's so overdue.
