[ There's a shirtless teenager on your screen who looks remarkably like that kid from the Taylor Swift video, er... well... There's an upside-down shirtless teenager on your screen, looking at the datapad like it has somehow hideously offended him just by existing and having far too many knobs than what one would reasonably expect. At first, his ( Read more... )

[ W E L P you just dropped the Erik bomb and pretty much everything else they've been talking about is now ignored. But oh, you have his full attention. ]

...Erik.

Erik Lehnsherr?

And? Did he go trying to bomb any navys while he was here?

[ Charles said he remembered being in a fight with Erik. He should remember that part. The attempt at mass murder. At this point he's really just being petty - taking out things he wouldn't be able to say to Erik directly, seeing not only has he flounced once, but now twice.

Claire just gets a snort. Huff, huff, princess. ]

[Any other time, any other conversation, Charles would have soothed and soft footed it, because when it came to Alex, he genuinely tried to be understanding. The young man had a rough past, was anti social as hell, needed the support and understanding of the authority figures in his life and sometimes space to work things out.

Sometimes, he also still needed a swift kick in the ass.

Lips pressed tight, Charles brought his fingers up to his temple and sent his mind gliding across the distance between them, focused in on Alex. He didn't hurt him, he didn't take away the freedom of his limbs or even his thoughts but he let that power flow across Alex's synapses, and impressed upon him the idea to pay attention.]

I understand that you are angry, Alex. I understand that right now you have been thrust into a very confusing, overwhelming and frankly frightening sensation, where what you know is very different from what you're seeing ( ... )

He hasn't done anything like that here.

[The way she says it is shaky, as her faith and trust in Erik has just been broken by Alex. She wants to believe the best in Erik, so she's going to desperately cling hold to the thought that Alex is just being bitter and acting like she does toward Nathan when she's angry.

And to Charles, she tries to sap away some of the bitterness left by her last statement.]

Do you think I could be part of the team, though?

[ The entire time Charles is in his head, Alex's is tense, quiet, teeth grinding as muscles in his jaw twitch. What Charles says stings and its almost worse than when Erik snaps, considering Charles rarely ever does. He holds his gaze, eyes hard and narrowed. When he's done and pulling himself back from Alex's mind Claire may as well not be there, as the comment is directly to Charles, said about something she wouldn't understand. ]

And if Erik was actually around? I would.

[ And this is him flouncing from the conversation, because he's really not going to get any better until he has a chance to cool down. GOOD TALK, GUYS. Havok out. ]

[Seriously, teenagers should be stuffed in a barrel with airholes and a bit of news paper and released when they're proper adults.

He keeps this thought to himself and doesn't even roll his eyes as Alex flounces stalks off to brood. Instead, he focuses on Claire, smiling warmly to her.]

You already are, Claire, don't you worry about that. And try not to worry too much on what Alex said. He is a bit prickly to get to know at first but I think you'll find him a very nice, chap.
