Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Mmm, I know.

[he's not sure he does, given his reactions so far. but he refrains from commenting.]

[ doesn't mean I have to like it ]

Honestly, sometimes I'm surprised you still talk to me.

I could say the same to you.

[ blinks ]

Why?

Why would you? I've given you no cause to.

That much is true. But you were -- are my friend still.

Then doesn't it stand to reason that the same is true for me?

You've always mocked me for caring.

No. I've been critical of it.

[ gives him a look ]

It was an abrupt change from how things stood before the stadium. You give mixed signals, Charles.

No more than you.

...

It's not the signals. History aside, I just care. And while I know you do too, what we have isn't enough.

[Erik looks at him for a long moment, then reaches across the table to take hold of his hand. he rummages in his pocket with the other.]

[ blinks, surprised ]

[pulling out a pen, he starts writing an address on the back of Charles's hand.]

I don't use it often, but I have a postal box here.

You do?

I'm trusting you not to broadcast that information to anyone.

[finished with the address, he lets go of Charles's hand and sits back again.]

I won't.

[he nods, satisfied.]

Thank you.

Don't mention it.

Too late.
