[Well, you know, that's because Charles Xavier used to be a dork...and he's still not very cool, because now he's just prone to rambling.]

Well, yes, certainly people want to hear that they are attractive, but ladies of the time appreciated the seduction technique with a bit of Lord Byron thrown in for effect. You know, very round about, but it worked quite a few times...do you think it's working just a bit right now?

[Of course Charles only says this with a modest kind of jest to his voice. He's not entirely serious.]

Thank you...I ah...I really can't express how much I appreciate this. Do you know how friendly this city is to wheels?



[ooc: No, I don't think they ever met. And James's wings btw...adorable.]

JSYK...I have no idea why I'm not getting any messages in my inbox.

[Okay...the reaction was unexpected, but not entirely unappreciated either...slightly worrying, perhaps. Fortunately he can push it to the back of his mind.]

Well...at least I haven't lost my touch entirely, because I could probably talk science at you all day. [Wait...let's amend that.] Well...ah...in a purely professional sense of course.

[Charles can't help allowing his eyes to wander to James's wings, the flash of yellow is unavoidably distracting.]

I would appreciate that...do you, are those what I think they are?

Damn you hotmail.

We'll see if I can muster up the...nerve. It's been a long time since I've used that kind of charm.

[Eight years, in fact, he's just trying to get the hang of re-socialize himself in this new world.

Though when James turned his back on him to show off the wings Charles couldn't help a the quirk of his lips, he also couldn't help reaching out to touch them experimentally.]


Fantastic...just fantastic. Were you born with them or...?

I've swapped to Gmail so there should be no more problems.

[personal profile] tohopeagain 2015-01-23 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
That's reassuring. At least I still have the touch.

[And speaking of which he does give those little appendages a gentle rub with the tips of his fingers, readjusting any feathers that might be out of place.]

They do seem a bit disproportionate, that would make it difficult to fly, a bit like the dodo bird. Though I have to say, I am intrigued by the number of worlds out there intent on shanghaiing off-worlders...and attaching things to their body.

In Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" the dodo bird was a wise creature.

[Aw, don't be so agitated--here, Charles will give your wings a nice rub underneath.]

Maybe there is a connection of some sorts, though having only been brought here I really can't make any kind of conjecture

Nah, that was the Walrus, mate.

[Charles can't help snorting a soft laugh, perhaps he should have said peacock instead.]

Sacrifice...isn't it...the missing link between guinea pigs and cannon fodder?

[Though Charles didn't push the subject, he could tell that it caused James some distress, not what he wanted to do so he just continued with the petting since it appeared to have a relaxing effect.]

Well...for whatever reason, they're pretty cute.

[Unfortunately a peacock could fly so it just wouldn't fit, given James's flightless wings.]

Well you're right, there's nothing really noble about this.

[And if he was willing to let it drop then so was Charles, if nothing else he could read the mood well enough, not that he couldn't be a supportive ear.]

Perhaps I should pinch your cheeks if it will add to the effect?
tohopeagain: (Default)

[personal profile] tohopeagain 2015-01-26 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
You ought to be grateful that I wasn't implying the other cheeks, but rest assured I shall refrain.

[Fortunately Charles hasn't met Thor so he figures it's just James, though he does tuck his hands casually into his jeans.]

Mr. Xavier? Well...I suppose it's better than Professor X...don't...don't call me professor, you know, for future references.

[It makes him seem older than he really is.]
tohopeagain: (Default)

[personal profile] tohopeagain 2015-01-27 03:27 pm (UTC)(link)
That is...ah...incredibly special of you.

[There's no other way to respond to that really, none that would give him any sense of dignity whatsoever.]

I don't mind at all, it's my preference, actually. And do you prefer James or something else?
tohopeagain: (Default)

[personal profile] tohopeagain 2015-01-27 04:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[See, now Charles is just terribly amused.]

Oooh...well then the name James should be reserved for special occasions, yeah? Like if ever I become agitated with you, hypothetically given that I'm difficult to agitate. And in turn, for the sake of fairness I give you permission to use Professor Charles Xavier or Professor X. And if you really wanted to get me you could use my full name, Charles Francis Xavier...not too keen on that middle name.

[personal profile] tohopeagain 2015-01-28 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
Special will , no doubt, be very rare. I promise.

[Charles never went out of his way to purposefully irritate people, after all.]

Charles Francis Xavier...Francis...sounds like it should be the name of a Bichon Frise.

[And how does his name feel on your tongue now that he's given you that image.]

Well I suppose we could trade middle names if you like.
tohopeagain: (Default)

[personal profile] tohopeagain 2015-01-28 07:03 am (UTC)(link)
Well I have no intention of seeing my hair go white any time soon. I'm older than I was, but not that old.

[And that's how Charles feels whenever he hears his middle name.]

I know the man who assassinated JFK personally. [Fun fact, now that you mentioned it.] Tiberius isn't so bad a name, probably a bit too long to be my middle name so it wouldn't flow as easily as is does with your name.
