[At the moment, Charles isn't even thinking about the data pad that is feeding their antics across the network. Instead, he's jockeying around a chair, trying to figure which direction Erik is going to go.]
I did not realize you were so ticklish, Lehnsherr.
[His tone was wickedly gleeful, as if this delightful secret was the answer to world peace. Flexing his slender fingers menacingly, Charles gave up trying to go around the chair and instead went right over the piece of furniture.
While furniture climbing is not particularly dignified, he's had enough wild nights at the pubs in Oxford to be fairly quick at scrabbling over this chair, that bar stool or the odd table!]
I'm not! [ His tone is defensive, because while Charles may have found out that Erik is indeed ticklish, it's not something he wants known to the world right now.
Erik feints to the left before taking a step back, watching Charles as he suddenly scrambled over the chair, much to his surprise. ] You just got lucky, Xavier. [ He'll laugh anyway, and taking the roundabout way that Charles gave up on, switching their positions easily enough. ]
And certainly not as ticklish as you are.
[ There goes that admission, but whoops, who cares? ]
[Wheeling around, Charles is now on the other side of the chair, once again across from Erik.]
Is that why you're hiding behind a chair?
[Yes, yes he went there. Perhaps not the wisest course of action, given that Erik is well aware of how ticklish Charles is but sometimes you've just got to be offensive with your defense.
As for the world not knowing you're ticklish, Magneto ... whoops!]
[ Oh you did go there, did you? Erik shakes his head vehemently, not even bothering to hide the round of laughter on his part. ]
Says the man who started this!
[ Yes, you're hearing this right. For all of Erik's well constructed arguments on taking a stand, it's matters like these when he's entirely incapable of being as articulate as he'd like. ]
You couldn't leave me well enough alone, could you? [ But he sidesteps again, feinting to the right, followed by the left, and then towards the left again to chase after Charles. So much for hiding behind a chair. ]
[ What... even... There was something about an apology in there but, uuuuuuh. This is a little more interesting. And possibly the weirdest thing he's ever seen occur between the two. ]
audio/video; (post may or may not be tag teamed by both Erik & Charles, you've been warned)
[ In the midst of chasing after Charles, Erik does hear Alex's voice and he turns around, realizing at once he managed to forget quite a few things in his intention to make a post.
Though Erik turns back to avoiding Charles and subsequently trying to tackle the man to the ground, he calls out. ] You tell me, Alex!
[ Yes, he's aware this is surreal for you but you know, this is what you get for telling Erik he ruined Charles' life. ]
[Charles happened to be closest to the data pad when he heard the cheer and glanced over in surprise.]
Oh! Hell... ERIK!
[The greeting is aborted as suddenly Charles is having to duck reaching hands, laughter echoing across the feed and a sharp sort of yelp as someone just got driven back with a well aimed tickle punch.]
[Link, you're catching them in a very rare moment. Usually they are either debating sharply with one another, playing chess, writing educational works or debating. All in all, very dry and somber pursuits.
They didn't have a house, just a well sized apartment away from the dormitories everyone woke up in.
However, have a bit of a frown from Charles because what was a child doing on the Outworlder network feed. He's spoken with Luke but it still disturbs him that someone so young would be taken by Revan.]
At least they're...close to happy. Seemingly. Or are entertaining, anyway. But she's still in her depressed teenager mode and is entirely uninterested in life as she responds. She'll apologize for this attitude later.]
[ With Erik closer to the datapad this time around, he'll speak up, though he's not inclined to give it away just yet, the information coming haltingly because he is distracted by Charles. ]
You know, I'm not quite sure, Claire. [ He dodges out of sight and you hear the rest of this but can't see him. ]
[ He laughs a little before coming into view, backing away from Charles. ]
Alex may have taken offense to a few things I've said, especially over matters between myself and Charles. Which suffice to say are no one's business but our own.
[ Can't bring himself to say anything. But he's just going to have this 'what the fuck' look on his face for the next hour, okay? This is unacceptable behavior. :\ Just. WTF. ]

[ Alex is just... rolling his eyes. God, these two need a babysitter, apparently. ]
You two turn into five year olds while we weren't looking?

Hardly, Alex. This is all your fault to begin with.

My name is Charles, may I know yours?

So, why does someone need to apologize to Alex?

Charles seem to think I may have offended him.

[She smiles a little, though, because Erik is acting so endearing right now.]
What did you do to him? Maybe instead of you apologizing, I'll just hit you for being a jerk.
