WHO: Charles Xavier and Scott Summers WHEN: The evening of July 3rd WHERE: Xavier's office, the X Mansion WHAT: Have a small discussion
Xavier had returned late from the meeting in New England, far later than he had intended. The Mansion was silent, offering a false sense of normality in a time of great stress, and he made his way to his office without a sound.
Leaning back against the padding of his chair, he closed his eyes and let his mind wander throughout the school. The general feeling of unrest was nothing new, it had been that way for weeks and would no doubt stay that way for weeks to come. One mind, however, was stirring beneath a cloud much more tense than the others, and Xavier sighed. While he had been so careful to asuage the fears of his students, he had almost forgotten about the members of his faculty. Something should be done.
Scott... he whispered, his voice silent as he spoke directly into his old student's troubled mind. Come to my office, please. I believe we are in need of a nightcap.
