re: recent days of future past plot reveals. also she hates talking. to people. about things.

[eisenhardt]

And to what consequence would you like me to express my thoughts on the news? It has nothing to do with me. Or you. A limited reach is frustrating, isn't it? Then you won't patronize me by pretending I'm the one in control. Do you remember what I said when you began all this?

[ just the shadow of a smirk. she looks almost proud, but that's a lie. ] I'm still only best in show.

As if these entries aren't patronizing enough.

[eisenhardt]

Beyond. I have nothing to say to her. I never have, but she continues to force it.

[inter]

Patronization, Miss Lensherr, or compliment of attention where compliment's due?

[redevelop]

Not everyone is so quick to find attention gratifying. But flattery always did work on you. No wonder your mun finds you so easy.

[eisenhardt]

Patronization, Mr. Xavier. It comes as no surprise that the distinction eludes you.

[redevelop]

It has everything to do with you--with anyone who cares that an entire race will be enslaved. It is an injustice we must refuse to allow.

[eisenhardt]

Somehow I doubt the opinion of an unmarked grave will carry much weight.

[redevelop]

Yes, by then it would be far too late. That's why I mean to stop them before they even break ground. Is that not the solution this 'news' refers to?

[eisenhardt]

[ my, look at all that passion. she'll just be over here in the canonly dead corner. ]

Don't deprive me of the details.

[redevelop]

[ he refuses to acknowledge that canon; he much prefers his own. ]

I shouldn't have to. You should be with me.

[eisenhardt]

[ reluctant and genuine smile. ]

I'm not the leader you are.

[redevelop]

[ a mirror smile, just as slight. ]

But I'm certain you're no follower. And control--that's something we can take.

[eisenhardt]

Only from those who deserve it. Promise me.

[redevelop]

No. That promise is too easily debated, too easily broken. I will not do that. [ a little frustrated. ] Those who have control did not ask for it kindly.
