Charles is tired and everyone at the Facility is feeling a bit too close. Cerebro is at the point where they can start finding and meeting other mutants which he should be celebrating but he's not ready yet.

Dealing with Javert in Milliways and wondering if everything will come together has left him tired of selling what he believes. He goes up to the roof to watch the sun go down, there's some space up here.

"You can read minds, Charles. It's hardly like you're good at it, you peek at the answers," Erik reminds him with a deadpan delivery, shaking his head mildly at the ridiculousness of the situation.

"Not with you, not unless you invite me in. You confound me and I want to discover and see what you'll show me,"

Charles' smile doesn't leave, this will create problems but he's wanted to take this step with Erik for too long.

"And yet, isn't that part of why you want me, Charles?" Erik taunts, feeling sure of that much. "I don't let you in so easily and you don't force your way. I'm a mystery when life has been laid out for you so far. I'm not surprised you want me, but I'm sure the moment you get me, it will fall apart."

"Why would it fall apart and why would it be about me getting you? What do you want? I don't know what will happen if we try to find where a we might be. But I also don't want to think of you leaving my life and wondering what I might have done and what might have been."
