            they  aren't  intended  to  be  sweet.  they  are  simply  the  truth.  if  i  were  attempting  to  butter  you  up  i  assure  you,  it  would  be  painfully  obvious.  ⁽  it  wasn't  often  charles  bent  the  truth.  it  had  always  felt  wrong  even  if  it  was  a  situation  where  it  was  more  than  necessary  he  despised  it  wholeheartedly.  it  was  how  he  was  raised.  not  by  his  mother,  certainly  not  by  his  father.. in  which  he  didn't  remember  all  that  well.  but  by  the  nanny  who  cared  for  him.  she  taught him  right  from  wrong,  please  and  thank  you  and  all  the  proper  manners  that  followed.  she  was  like the  mother  he  never  had.  she  filled  in  when  his  mother  was  out  for  days,  or  even  weeks  at  a  time.  any  mention  of  his  childhood  was  bittersweet.  after  his  mutation  went  haywire  things  changed.  his  mother  becoming  more  neglectful,  ordering  the  nanny  to  take  him  for  a  psychological  examination  when  he  complained  of  voices  and  sensitivity  to  light. ⁾  just  like  this  place.  it's  hosted  xavier's  since  it  was  built.  yes,  i  grew  up  here.  this  room..  was  actually  my  mother's.  it's  comforting  that  way  i  suppose.

[  her teeth chewed at the inside of her bottom lip,  as if debating the words he spoke.  she hadn’t picked up a paint brush in a long time,  but yet the idea of doing it was nice,  comforting even.  ]      your words are far too sweet for me,  charles.      [  despite that,  she could tell he was being genuine about it.  something about this man’s words was nice,  the way it made her feel.  when she really thought about it,  she realized that she’d only ever felt this way about one person and that was alexander.  was it happening again?  was she—-  had she already fallen?  she moved to set down the canvas on the nearest surface other than his desk,  exhaling slowly.  the revelation was a bit overwhelming,  she was not going to lie to herself.  ]      no one’s lived in that house other than my family and i,  i technically own it,  have since i was..  nineteen.  wasn’t this school..  your childhood house?  i’ve heard stories,  mostly from raven.

            i  can  tell  you  put  effort  into  all  of  this  piece.  i  am  honored  you  decided    to  share  it  with  me.  you  should  continue  to  paint.  what  your  feeling,  the  world  around  you  or  like  you  did  here.  memories.  you  may  not  have  a picture  but  this  canvas  speaks  a  thousands  words.  perhaps  a  thousand  more  than  a  click  of  a  lens  ever  could.  the  house,  the  animals  and  every  stand  of  grass  in  that field  is  honored.  ⁽  when  she  spoke  of  one  of  the  animals  specifically  he  smiled.  ⁾  ah,  so  you've  always  had  a  kind  soul.  that  house  is  history.  generations  of  it.  much  like  the  school  we  are  in  now.  ⁽  his  lips  pursed  slightly  his  eyes  scanning  the  painting  once  more.  ⁾  i  see  the  detail,  everything  that  makes  up  the  big  picture.

                  (  the  agent's  teeth  began  to  grit  together. the  last  thing  she  wanted  to  hear  was  being  compared  to  h͟i͟m͟.͟  it  took  everything  in  her  being  to  not  retort  with  a  remark  of  some  kind. she  did  not  care  to  hide  her  disdain  for  his  answer,  especially  if  he  was  tuning  in  and  out  of  her  mind. )    t͟h͟a͟t͟  ͟i͟s͟  ͟n͟o͟t͟  ͟f͟a͟i͟r͟  ͟a͟n͟d͟  ͟y͟o͟u͟  ͟k͟n͟o͟w͟  ͟i͟t͟.͟  ͟  (  her  frustration  laced  in  her  voice. how  could  he  ever  compare  lorene  to  erik  ?  closing  her  eyes,  lorene  took  a  rather  long  breath  in  and  dragged  her  exhale  out. she  could  not  keep  her  arms  over  her  chest  any  longer;  they  fell  to  her  sides,  nails  digging  into  her  palms. ). . .shield  does  not  work  that  way,  even  if  i  am  not  involved. i  should  hopefully  be  cleared  soon.

            (  blue  eyes  are  fixed  on  the  mutants  big  and  small  enjoying  the  sun.  it  was  a  place  where  they  could  be  themselves  without  judgment.  where  mutants  learned  to  embrace  their  differences  as  opposed  to  burying  them.  each  mutant  was  unique,  accompanied  by  a  skill set  that  was  uniquely  their  own.  of  course  on  paper  she  was  no  student  of  his  but  he'd  still  taught  her  to  embrace  and  utilize  her  mutation.  )  you  were  not  involved  in  the  slightest.  you  share  the  same  blood  and  you're  the  only  connection  they  have  right  now.  (  a deep  breath  is  taken  in,  almost  like  he's  in  physical  pain  but  it's  more  emotional  but  he  remains  collected  before  his  voice  comes  out,  soft  and  slow.  )   you  sound..  like  him.

                  (  lorene  followed  the  other,  fixing  her  gaze  onto  the  children  that  played  outside. their  laughter  and  giggles  filled  her  ears  as  they  began  to  ring. for  once,  the  ringing  was  more  manageable. lorene  embraced  it,  listening  to  the  various  conversations  of  those  outdoors. )  i’m  not  your  student. . . yes,  this  is  all  hypothetical. (  eventually,  the  chatter  that  occupied  her  ears  grew  quiet. now,  all  she  could  hear  was  the  sound  of  his  voice. )      you  know  the  agency  i  work  for. you  should  understand  then  why  i  do  not  belong  here. (. . . )  i  am  already  in  hot  water  with  finnigan  being  broken  out. they’ve—  interrogated  me  about  it,  thinking  i’ve  helped  him. (. . . )  as  much  as  i  love  you,  this  place  is  simply  not  meant  for  someone  like  me  to  thrive. it’s  your  dream,  umni.

            a  /  private  /  lesson  ?  (  if  they  were  merely  teasing  one  another,  perhaps  she’d  indulge  in  this. a  scoff  left  from  her  lips  as  she  rose  from  the  seat. slowly,  but  surely,  she  started  inching  towards  him. besides,  lorene  might  as  well  speak;  especially  when  her  partner  could  read  her  thoughts. even  as  her  cheeks  started  to  turn  into  a  soft  rosy  hue,  she  continued. )      you  could  always  read  my  mind  and  see  if  you  can  answer  my  /questions/. maybe  some  things  shouldn’t  be  said  out  loud.

                      you  make  me  sound  far  more  grand  than  i  truly  am.  ⟨  a  smile  was  cracked,  how  could  he  not  stare.  especially  when  she  truly  seemed  to  be  listening  to  his  lecture.  a  glance  around  to  scan  the  room  before  he  rolled  in  closer.  )  you  can  have  a  / private /   lecture  anytime  you  wish,  the  questions  will  be  all  yours  to  answer.

               that’s  your  title,  it’s  only  fitting. (. . . )  notice  me  ?  you  were  practically  staring. it  was  cute  honestly. you  should’ve  let  me  answer  some  questions. i’m  a  little  sad  about  that,  i  could’ve  been  right.

                          ⟨  a  bubble  of  what  could  only  be  described  as  dread  was  pulling  in  his  stomach.  it  had  started  eating  him  alive  the  moment  he'd  gotten  stuck  in  the  sand.  his  hands  both  loosely  held  onto  the  push  rings  of  his  chair.  the  effort  to  take  his  hand  in  hers  was  hardly  an  effort  at  all.  his  hand  slipped  right  into  her,  like  a  missing  puzzle  piece  finding  it's  proper  place.  ⟩   thank  you,  darling.  i  love  you  too.  ⟨  he  said  with  a  slight  sniffle,  a  single  tear  slipping  down  his  cheek  before  he  quickly  swiped  it  away  with  his  sleeve.  ⟩

              (  lorene  remembered  brief  conversations  about  this  subject. she  didn’t  need  the  full  story  to  see  that  being  in  this  place  physically  hurt  him. a  hand  crept  him  to  hold  his,  her  thumb  gently  brushing  over  it. )    i’m  sorry,  umni. . . i  know  that  eats  at  you  constantly. especially  given  how  he  acts  on  this  island. but,  you  don’t  have  to  deal  with  that  alone  anymore. i’m  here  for  you  and. . . i  love  you  very  much. i’ll  always  have  your  back.

                          ⟨  he  was  more  than  upset,  being  around  him  in  an  environment  like  this.  it  was  hard.  he'd  never  explained  directly  to  lorene  what  had happened.  ⟩  he  was   right.  i  wish  he  had  came  to  us  sooner  but  he  did  the  right  thing.  ⟨  the  waves  crashed  into  the  sand  as  he wiped  his  eyes  discreetly.  ⟩  the  last  time  i  was  on  a  proper  beach  was  when  i  could  walk.  it  was  when  erik  and  i  ..  parted  ways.
