Would you prefer I reside somewhere else tomorrow evening?
Are you solid yet?
Do you have plans for later? And what's your preferred alcohol? Which is to say, can I bribe you with alcohol because I'm basically intending to bribe you with alcohol right now.
I should like to see you if you are willing.
No issues last night, I take it?
Mr. Chandler, I have a rather accomplished magician at the house who provides his services in exchange for rent. Was the room not meeting your personal requirements? I can assure the house is well protected.
Miss Gwynn, are you still around these parts?FILTER TO ERIK LEHNSHERR
Have you returned?
Are they still doing the school for people with special powers? I think that might make more sense for me than the high school.
If they could handle the magic.
So hi. We've never all officially talked. I'm Kitty.
When the world gets bigger, experience tells me to retreat and secure the borders of the territory I've claimed as my own, to ensure that when they come for us, we'll be ready for them. When I first arrived, us was me. Then Rogue. Then Hope. Then Peter. Then Anka Irene. And of course, Charles. Us grew as if it fed on some quiet resolve that I didn't know possessed me here.
I'm glad you're all here. I trust that you will remain here. In that other place, I came to see the world in absolutes. Perhaps I still do. But that absolutism has bloomed past myself, encompassed Mutancy, and encompassed the Displaced as a whole. That was the reason for the caves. Quick, effective shelter for all of us. And though they do not need it here, perhaps what they do need is an opportunity to be together. Or, at the very least, a time to eat.
What do you say to inviting all for a dinner? We can procure a long table, put it in the clearing, and have everyone over. We'll get their friendship and, at the very least, we'll take their measure.
I trust the time travel left you unharmed.
Not quite Neiman Marcus, but I hear tell there's a Nordstrom in town now.
You're the one who built the caves, correct?
I am in need of assistance from someone with a great deal of power. A witch, if possible.
Miss Ives, would you like to accompany me to dinner this evening?Added later
I need you to do me a favor.
