Jean's eyes narrowed - but only slightly. You're one to talk. Emma was the only one acting like a hormonal, oversexed teenager. It was actually kind of pathetic and sad that someone who thought herself beautiful was clambering a married man, when she could've easily ensnared someone else (someone who was unattached, preferably). Jean supposed Emma thought that forbidden fruit tasted sweeter... That, or she just wanted to royally piss her off.
Either way, it was wrong and she wasn't going to stand for it.
When Scott's words projected into her mind, she felt somewhat better. But, she was still rattled by what she had seen. Whether he had been incredibly bored or not, why had he let her latch onto him like that? And if she hadn't butted into their private conversation, what would've happened? Probably nothing, but still.... it was definitely food for thought.
After a moment or two, it had appeared as if Emma was going to throw in the towel - at least for today.
As Diamond made her exodus from the room, Jean fought the overwhelming urge to follow her out into the hallway.
However, that cool, calm and collected doctor rationale kept her in check. Losing control over someone like Ms. Frost wouldn't be worth it - not for herself nor anyone else, for that matter.
Jean remained silent for a good while longer, before she shifted her attention back to Scott and Logan. It certainly felt odd to be alone in a room with these two again, but it was bound to happen sooner or later.
"I'm truly sorry you felt the need to get in the middle of this, Logan." He could've just kept on walking, but he hadn't. Though she knew it had been out fear that she might've gone subatomic on them again that caused him to backtrack, it still meant a lot to her.
