Charles liked Europe and the smell of cold, old stone that housed its ancient libraries. Raven thought it was weird of him to have grown up in a mansion of cold, old stone and still the sight, smell, and feeling of it. But as much as he liked Europe and the smell of old stone, he has been offered a teaching post in a good university back home in New York. His sister is completing her master’s degree in the same university, and he will be able to do something he enjoys without living so far away from Raven ( ... )

They went straight to Raven’s flat from the airport, and Charles felt uncomfortable in the unfamiliar space as soon as his younger sister led him inside her home. Raven visited him in London a couple of times, especially during the holidays, but he really did not make the effort to visit her in New York. Charles thought he would stay in England forever, with James and probably a poodle, and to come home to New York is admitting to some sort of defeat. And this is what this homecoming is all about really-about defeat-his failure to advance in his career as an educator because of a meddling man, and his failed romantic relationship. If his life were a short story or a novel, the fact that he is running toward the arms of a woman-or women, as Dr. Frost was also instrumental in this “journey”-is a kind of irony. Men drove him away from England, women welcomed him in New York. Charles was not sure whether this fact would bode well in the story of his life ( ... )

Raven was happy that her brother Charles is back in New York. He had talked about his plans to take up Dr. Frost’s offer to teach critical theory in the university, but he has not even dropped by to see her. Or even drop by the literature department to see where Raven spent most of her time and maybe even meet Dr. Lehnsherr. Once he moved in his cardigans and smelly books into Raven’s apartment, Charles spent most of his time reading and watching cooking shows. Raven hated it when Charles moped, which he did not do on a regular basis, just when he felt disillusioned about his life or what he called his “prospects ( ... )

Raven bit on the end of her pen as she looked her list over. Maybe when two boring people get together their boringness will get cancelled or whatever it was that happened to two negative numbers once you add them up. But okay, these two men are not really boring, they just get… engrossed in their boring interests. Raven pushed her list away after staring at it for five minutes and began a new one.

Why I think Charles will like Dr. Lehnsherr:
- Dr. Lehnsherr is a Jew.
- Dr. Lehnsherr has a hot body and a very firm ass.
- Dr. Lehnsherr is quite handsome. More handsome than John-Jimmy-James who’s a vain little prick anyway.
- Dr. Lehnsherr likes digging up old books, magazines, and newspapers.
- Dr. Lehnsherr can probably read Walter Benjamin in the original German, which will probably make Charles cream his pants.

This list seems more reasonable than the first one, Raven thought, so she began another list.

Why I think Dr. Lehnsherr will like Charles- Charles is good-looking. Of course he's good-looking, he’s my brother and ugly ( ... )

Ugh, a mistake. The second to the last paragraph should read:

Raven set her pen down and mentally patted herself in the back. Now, the only problem is separating Charles from his books and getting him to meet Dr. Lehnsherr. When they finally meet, it would probably be love at first sight and disgusting as it is, they would probably make out in the semi-privacy of Dr. Lehnsherr’s book-filled cubicle.

But somehow, Raven doubted that.

Sorry!

Raven's lists are hilarious! I agree with everything she said except that I think they will totally make out in the semi-privacy of Erik's book-filled cubicle. :DDDDDD

I am sure Moira will be all over Charles. Even you, Erik. You wait and see. Emma Frost may not be familiar with Harry Potter but she knows you. :DDDDD

Erik was making his fourth cup of coffee in the literature department’s pantry (weak coffee, if he must say, but he was too lazy to run to the coffee shop the university built last year in the main library) when Drs. Frost and MacTaggert cornered him ( ... )
