[All backdated to just after the flood!]

[Private to Pietro]

I know you're here, and I'm certain you're aware I am. [A beat. He's trying, but trying is hard especially when he has no idea how to broach this. It hasn't gone spectacularly with Anya or Wanda in the past.]

It's not a very big ship. And I'm obviously not the man you know. We could continue to avoid each other, if that's what you'd like. [He cracks a dry half-smile.] But I've found it's better not to assume anything, here.

[Private to Wanda]

[He took a while before turning the feed on for this, so he's perfectly composed. She doesn't need to see or deal with his issues; he wants to say this, and let it lie.]

I'm sorry. I haven't done a very good job of being easy to tolerate. You deserve better.

[Private to Alex]

I still don't expect your trust anytime soon.

[Private to Ivy]

[There is far too much kid drama here, so it's clearly time for something much less family oriented.]

'Generally regarded as sex on legs.' [Your warden, Ivy, he's very amusing to troll.]

[Private to Charles]

[Jesus Christ buddy we have got some stuff to talk about.] I spoke to Anya during the flood.
wedonot: (I don't even know what to say.)

[Charles rubs a hand over his face. It's fucking weird that you're more okay with this than he is. B(]

She told you as much?
wedonot: (Listening.)

[Charles wants to laugh, but he does know her opinions on mutants, and her words sit uncomfortably with him, almost like a burn that hadn't had any time to heal.]

I trust you, Erik. [More than anyone, really, and it sort of scared him sometimes.] But I don't trust her. I want to help her, but as long as I'm being honest, our conversation bothered me more than I'd like to admit.
wedonot: (You could do with some you jerk.)

You didn't take it out on people who didn't deserve it.

[There's a lot wrapped up in that hoarse statement. Charles knows why Erik did what he did, and he doesn't judge him or hold it against him, or think the men he'd killed didn't deserve punishment for what they'd done, even if he didn't agree with the idea of revenge or violent justice.

And he also knows how he tried to help others in the camp survive, how he'd helped Magda, and that Wanda was just an innocent kid who was just as trapped as Anya had been, and she'd been killed for it. It's hard for him to wrap his mind around someone willing and capable of doing that, because it's just so alien.]
wedonot: (I could really use a wish right now.)

I'm not saying you are. I just- [Worry, don't want to see you get hurt, have no fucking clue how to move forward in this, all of it seems stupid to say out loud, so he doesn't.]

I don't know what the best course of action is.
wedonot: (And I know this sounds crazy.)

[Private]

[personal profile] wedonot 2013-02-08 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[And again, Charles makes a face, because he's not sure how he feels about that.]

Forgive me for not exactly thinking we have the best track record when it comes to trial and error.
wedonot: (Hmmm yeah no.)

[Private]

[personal profile] wedonot 2013-02-11 08:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[And that is getting you a groan, because come on, man.]

I think I'll have quite a few other things to say first.
wedonot: (Ground control to Major Tom.)

[Again, this is why it's fucking weird that you're more okay with this than he is. B(]

I know. I do trust you.
