*Charles wakes up that Friday morning, and it's an October Friday morning like any other October Friday morning in zombie prison camp. Except that when he's about to head out to meet Babs, he finds a plain envelope slipped under the front door. As tempting as it is to leave flat objects that are lying on the ground for Leto to take care of, he nevertheless leans down and scoops it up.
There's no name on the envelope, which gives him the moral right to see what's inside. Besides, if it were something for Leto that the god-emperor had wanted to keep private for some reason, he'd have known to get it already, wouldn't he? He heads back inside a bit, so that he’s not sitting right in front of the door, and sits by one of the windows to take advantage of the morning light.*
*He carefully folds up the letter and places it back in the envelope. Without another glance at it, he leaves it on his desk in his room and goes back out to meet Babs.*
*When he returns to the cabin after training (and a shower) later that morning, he rolls up to his desk and stares at the envelope, which just sits there, so very still. He opens up the top drawer of his desk, takes out some stationary and a pen, and starts writing.*
*Later that evening, there is silent conversation of some sort between telepathic mutant and toucan outside the Cabin McAvoy. At the end of it, the toucan flies away with a letter.*
