SO SORRY this has taken me so long to get to, I'm moving and it's crazy
For a short but precious time, Erik had been Charles's best friend. He wasn't sure what happened after Cuba, but from everything he surmised and from everything he had been told, things would change completely.
But that time didn't matter, here. This Erik was from a different time still, and Charles was not entirely sure if their words were even exactly the same. Still, he was Erik, and so he had to meet up with him, regardless.
"Charles, please," he said quickly in response. He didn't say anything for a moment, but neither did he use his powers to invade Erik's mind. He had too much respect for him to do that just now.
