[ Charles is obviously a bit drunk as his comm clicks on and he's facing the video screen, his cheeks flushed and his eyes lidded -- with a grin on his face like a wild cat. He's smirking, and very clearly thinks he's quite the charmer. He opens his mouth to speak and his words are slurred, if only slightly. This is what he gets for going to the

Charles, I hope you are not going to make me regret not taking away your communicator earlier.

Why would you...

Erik, you are hardly any fun at all, are you?!

[manlytear]

I simply want to make sure that you do not make a fool of yourself to all of these people, Professor.

[grooviestmutant]

[ Charles frowns deeply, almost comically. ]

Erik. You know I am not... going to make a complete fool of myself. Why would you even accuse such a thing?

[manlytear]

I have heard your... pick-up lines, Charles.

[grooviestmutant]

You are only jealous that they... [ He stumbles here, somewhat, and is trying to be sure that his joke is obvious. ] are not used on you.

[manlytear]

[He raises an eyebrow at that, looking rather bemused.] You are implying that I am jealous of the women that you accost in bars over the color of their eyes?

[grooviestmutant]

[ He blinked at that and huffed. ] How did you even--know about that?

Yes. You are quite jealous.

[manlytear]

This is not the first time you have gotten drunk around me, Charles.

And I can assure you, I feel no reason to be jealous.

[grooviestmutant]

[ Charles' frowning is almost a pout. ]

I suppose it is not.

And that is your own loss, my friend.

[manlytear]

I do not need to be jealous because I am already certain that you find my mutation, ah... quite 'groovy'.

[grooviestmutant]

[ That made him blink, and then squint, rather drunkenly. ]

I guess you are... quite groovy, my friend.

[manlytear]

You only guess?

[His tone is obviously teasing. It is starting to seem that Erik has perhaps had a few drinks of his own, at least enough to unwind a bit.]

[grooviestmutant]

[ But not as hopelessly drunk as Charles? That's what Charles is good at. ]

Well, if you put it that way.

Your mutation is incredibly groovy, Erik Lehnsherr, if that makes you feel any better.

[manlytear]

[Charles should know better than to think he can out-drink Erik.]

I am glad you think so, Charles Xavier. Yours is... rather remarkable as well.

[grooviestmutant]

[ That's just something they'll have to put to the test, now, isn't it? He smiles in earnest at Erik's words and then says, joking continuing.]

If I did not know better, Mr Lehnsherr, I would say you were making a pass at me at this moment.
