Raven knocked twice, two quick raps, but was already pushing Charles' door open before the second knock had a chance to fade away. She'd called her brother after school to tell him she was coming by...a strange sort of sensation, considering how much time they'd spent together growing up, but necessary she supposed, now that they weren't actually living together.

...That was actually rather strange too, now that she thought about it.

But she was in a good mood and she wasn't talking to Charles nearly as much as she preferred, so she had decided she was going to go ramble about teaching to him. If only she knew what was coming...

"Hello!" She called in as she closed the door behind her.

Charles practically leapt up from his seat as he heard the knock, though he knew - in more ways than one, really - that he should have anticipated it. He felt rather foolish as he crossed the small apartment to greet her with an almost relieved hug. He had not seen her in what felt like ages, and he was pleased to after all that time. "Raven," he said then, chuckling somewhat.

"How have you been?" he asked then - he, too, finding it an unusual sensation to speak to her in a way as he would a colleague or old friend and not, well, his sister. "I was just about to pour the tea."

Raven shrugged as she crossed the room, letting her outdoor 'blonde' disguise fade into her natural blue state with a slightly relieved sigh. The clothing she was wearing stuck around, obviously real. "You know me, I'm always fine." She gave a little shrug and dropped down onto the couch next to him.

For a moment, she didn't say anything, and then she laughed. "Okay, this is strange. We should never be that stiff." She reached out to give him a little shove on the shoulder as if to make her point, and then leaned over to help him with the tea.

Charles cannot help but laugh at that and he stared at her for a moment, before he was shaking his head. "Ah, Raven!!" he cried, with a deep chuckle in his throat. He shook his head in her direction, though he certainly agreed with her words. "You're rather right," he said quietly then, before he was pleased with his tea prep and handing her her own cup of tea with a placated grin.

"You're always fine? You know there are moments when I could disagree with that statement," he said then, raising an eyebrow in his sister's direction with a skeptical expression.
