Good. Good. You took a roundabout way, my dear, but the important thing is that you're here, now. We'll accomplish great things together. I'm sure of it.

Now. What was that you said, about Raven?

Comments

[wedonot]

I think we'd all be very interested in hearing some elaboration.

[hellfiery]

I know. But we all want things we can't have.

[wedonot]

Including you.

[hellfiery]

Including me. I'd rather hoped not to be murdered, for example.

[wedonot]

I hope you're not expecting an apology.

[hellfiery]

From you? Of course not. After all, I see that kind of fanaticism every time I look in the mirror.

[wedonot]

Excuse me?

[hellfiery]

Unapologetic pursuit of your own beliefs. No matter the cost. Whether your relationship with your sister, or your friendship with Erik, or the future of all mutants. You're as uncompromising as I am. And I applaud you for it.

[wedonot]

Forgive me for not condoning the idea of mass murder as a road to a more peaceful, tolerant world.

[hellfiery]

You'll find, I think, Charles, that my forgiveness is endless.

[wedonot]

I suppose that makes one of us.

[hellfiery]

So it does.

[wedonot]

What are you planning on doing with Raven?

[hellfiery]

Why don't you read my mind?

[wedonot]

I tend to like to ask permission first.

[hellfiery]

It was a joke. Because you can't, not reliably, not here. Isn't the fourth wall grand?

[wedonot]

It's lovely.

Shaw's really one to talk about self-absorption

[hellfiery]

I was thinking, as it happens, that Raven would have been much better off if I'd found her, instead of you. Truly, it's shocking how you neglected her. One would think a telepath would be a little less self-absorbed.

I can't even tell you how much I'm enjoying this thread :c

[wedonot]

I didn't neglect her. [And he doesn't even want to start thinking about what you'd do to her, jfc. :|]

Me too! Ugh I was trying not to get a new muse.

[hellfiery]

Then why would she ever leave?

This is how I ended up with Charles lmfao, tricksy muses :c

[wedonot]

I don't think that's any of your business.

[hellfiery]

Out here in the multiverse, everything can be my business.

Say What you like about me and mine, but no one in my employ ever had the impression that they were worthless, or that their gift was a burden and not a treasure.

[wedonot]

I've never tried to claim I haven't made mistakes.

[hellfiery]

You say exactly that every time you move forward expecting you won't make any more.

[wedonot]

And when have I ever expected that?
