"Not half as glad as I am. I owe you -- all of you."

"I heard. It's a relief."

If he listens -- it doesn't take any effort, just a switch in focus -- he can hear the good-mind humming, not quite as insistent as that first day, but steady.

"They're all so . . ." He waves a hand, grinning. "They take it all in stride. It's enough to make me feel like an amateur sometimes -- which is new."

Positive -- "Yes. It's learning to adapt."

He nods. "You've done your share, too."
thisfatefulhour: (Hmm.)

Charles is suddenly sitting up straighter, eyes very blue and very bright.

"You're fighters. You're fighting against the darkness."
thisfatefulhour: (Old Eyes)

(and my, but it's a grand and exciting battle)

"And what are you protecting? These two things?"
thisfatefulhour: (Old Eyes)

Leaning his elbows on his knees, he nods for her to continue.
thisfatefulhour: (Hmm.)

"You don't mean a physical center, do you."

He taps his fingers against his mug, considering. "I'm not sure. I've seen more than one world. I don't know that I ever saw a single center to any of them."

"All Heaven with its power," he murmurs, leaning back.

"Those are heavy tasks."
thisfatefulhour: (Smiley)

[personal profile] thisfatefulhour 2007-12-28 05:35 am (UTC)(link)
"Here in 2007." A grin. "Good. I'm glad."
