well, i mean, at least jean has realistic goals...

[atombomb]

A fresh start, not a personal mission to repair all that has been broken.

Your faith in people amazes me.

[Smile]

Thank you, Jean. Though I will admit not every day is the easiest to keep such an outlook.

[atombomb]

[Jean returns the smile, her voice taking on a more teasing tone as she tries to lighten the mood a little:] Well, I guess we can't all be perfect. [And yet, so much respect there. There are few people Jean thinks of as highly as she does Charles Xavier.]

[ihearyouthink]

I figure its better to nip those rumors in the bud now rather than later. [He says in return, kidding that some of the students tend to put him on a pedestal.]

[atombomb]

[Oh, there are some of them that absolutely do.] Would you like me to spread the word? I'll break it to them gently.

[ihearyouthink]

[He rubs his chin as if considering the offer.] That could help. Something simple? Mass telepathic message perhaps? [He pretends to put up the words in midair with one hand.]

Charles Xavier is not perfect

[atombomb]

[Jean smiles, nodding her head enthusiastically in response.] Mass telepathic message, over... brunch, perhaps? I figure if you're going to break that kind of news, it's best to cushion the blow with eggs benedict and Belgian waffles.

[ihearyouthink]

Rather than their usual fare? Colored marshmallow cereal and chocolate milk? Sounds like a plan.

[atombomb]

Better to butter them up before breaking the bad news.

[ihearyouthink]

We might have to clear an entire day for it.
