Jesus Christ, Erik.

I thought you'd at least knock.
[She sighs, pushing her hand through her hair and rising from her spot on the couch. It's -- mostly habit, getting up when guests come in.]
And I wasn't expecting you so -- fast.

We've got a while, Erik.
[She walks to where he's come in, trying to avoid pacing.]
Come on, sit down.
[She expects it's going to take a while, too.]

[She'd bother with arguing, except arguing with Erik is pointless. Especially if their conversation is going to get anywhere.]
Fine.
We need to talk about what we both said the last time we were -- together.
[Ugh.]
And why you think, exactly, that I was
settling
when we were dating.

Actually, I think I have a dentist appointment right now.

Erik.
[Frustrated, she shifts forward to grasp his arm at his wrist. Not hard, nothing that would be anything
cruel
, just...]
Please.

Should we really discuss this?
[
He looks frustrated, but surprisingly vulnerable, not hard like he usually is.

Ever?

Would you rather we just keep whispering hopelessly at each other for the rest of our time here?
[Because at this rate, that's how it's going to go.
She sighs, brings the hand on his wrist up to rest on his forearm instead, gentler.]
Just sit, okay?

[She rests one hand gently on his knee, hoping it will do -- something. Comfort him, maybe?]
You know things can't go back to the way they were, Erik.
[Even if nothing was different from then -- things hadn't been perfect, no matter what either of them tried to convince themselves.]

But feelings aren't just -- going to go away.
[They both also know that.
She sighs, leaning her head back against the couch.]
Even if some things have changed.

And then, looking her in the eyes.

And you know that I still love you. I always will, Mystique.

And I love you, Erik, which is why I don't -- know what to do.
[And also why she avoided contracting with him.]

We'll figure it out, alright?
Just don't give up on me. Not yet.
