"I ain't just bitter. I'm also justified in my jaded outlook." Rogue uncrossed her arms and swung around to sit in the chair to face Erik. "Like I said, I'll be close enough so that when somethin' goes wrong, I can be here in a flash." Green eyes turned away, thoughtful for a quick moment. "Too bad I never touched Kurt. His ability would be real handy to have."
Turning back to Erik, Rogue regarded him with an unreadable expression. "See, now that's where my problem with you. I just can't wrap my mind around you bein' all guarded and Ro lettin' you be here. If I were here, I'd tell ya to take Lorna an' help her somewhere else." her smile was quite sarcastic. "But that's just me."
She couldn't sit still anymore. All the personalities inside her head kept wanting her to do other things, keep busy, reach certain goals. Because of this, she was once more on her feet and keeping her hands busy. "I know what you've seen." For the first time ever in conversation with him, there was something other than hatred and sarcasm in her tone, There was empathy. She tapped the side of her head. "Got it in here." She glanced over her shoulder at him. "I know what you're afraid is gonna happen again. I'm afraid of it too. An' I'm afraid of how it'll all end. it's the in between we don't agree on."
After a moment she asked, "So why did you wanna talk to me?"
