[ He can almost hear all those things Charles thinks of saying, but doesn't. It's hard to know where to begin at times, but that has always been them, hasn't it? The longer they've known one another, the more lies unspoken. And the truth of it all is that nothing with them was ever simple, Charles was only naïve to think it was.
But things were good, the last he'd seen Charles. The past decade has been kinder on them both, keeping in touch was easier, a truce of sorts, even if a true mending of their relationship only began when Erik was suddenly brought here. He thinks it unfair that Charles should now appear from ten years before (saying it was a few years was putting it mildly, really), but it's... better than a lot of other options.
Charles's words of concern manage to etch a smile on his face. He doesn't feel especially worn down, perhaps he's just starting to look old. ]
And I am glad to see you. Even if I would rather you too weren't trapped here with us.
[ He can't really talk of a next meeting when Charles has just joined him in Genosha. But it has been two months since, so. ]
