Taking a break this weekend. As per protocol, I'll check my phone every 6 hours at the minimum. Back in time for class on Monday.

I'm fine. Please don't worry about me.

Hi. How are you?

In case you're wondering, I'm not freaking out.

What's the range on your telepathy? I know with Cerebro

Hi.

Saturday morning. You're probably not awake.

OK. Back on the road.

But I was thinking about you.

Sounds like an incredibly successful trip so far. Promise no roadside motel tonight either, hm?

I am. I'm a little Are you? I hope the fresh air is clearing your head a bit.

Scott/Emma ~10am

[seeingred scott summers ⊗ cyclops]

Fine. But only for you.

Alone with only my thoughts for company. [...] I'm still sorting things out. But I need you to know I don't regret it.

Scott/Emma ~10am

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

Ah, you spoil me.

A necessity, sometimes. Have you gotten used to my presence in your mind again though, since I've been back?

I'm glad you don't. I don't either. [...] And I know things are complicated, Scott. I hope we can do some of the sorting out together, though.

Scott/Emma ~10am

[seeingred scott summers ⊗ cyclops]

I missed having you in my head, honestly.

There's some things I need to deal with on my own. But the rest of it... yeah. That sounds practical.

Scott/Emma ~10am

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

That makes me happy. I very much like being there.

I don't think that's At least consider talking to Kurt or someone else.

Practical? That's so romantic you're making me blush.

Scott/Emma ~10am

[seeingred scott summers ⊗ cyclops]

My mind must be a mess.

Romantic isn't my forte, sorry. But I like being around you. If there's things we need to resolve so that can happen, we should do that.

Scott/Emma ~10am

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

I actually find it very comforting.

Just a joke, Scott. Remember, I know who you are. [...] Whatever needs to get figured out will. You'll be spending lots of time with me if I have any say in it.

Scott/Emma ~10am

[seeingred scott summers ⊗ cyclops]

I'm glad. I know I hide things.

Are you telling me not to overthink this?

Scott/Emma ~10am

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

I wish you didn't, but I do understand.

I wouldn't expect Scott Summers to not overthink something. But while you're doing that, try to remember that I like you as you are after spending an inordinate amount of time sitting around in your brain.

Scott/Emma ~10am

[seeingred scott summers ⊗ cyclops]

You don't want to know everything I'm thinking.

I will keep that in mind. You're one of the most amazing people I've ever met, you know that?

Scott/Emma ~10am

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

You'd be surprised. I'm used to seeing all sorts of things, and used to sorting through it all.

[...] I do know. But you're still welcome to tell me as often as you'd like.

Scott/Emma ~10am

[seeingred scott summers ⊗ cyclops]

Not very romantic to make a girl sort through your neuroses.

You could be with any I'll keep that in mind too.

Scott/Emma ~10am

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

It's a very intimate thing to open your mind that much to someone. And don't worry, you can't make me do anything.

Much appreciated. [...] When do you think you'll be home?

Scott/Emma ~10am

[seeingred scott summers ⊗ cyclops]

How many people are willing to open their mind up that much?

Sunday night. Late enough for no one to see me come in.

Scott/Emma ~10am

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

Almost no one. Or, rather, almost no one who does any sort of self-reflection. It's natural to find it intimidating if you have any sort of critical view of yourself.

I can't imagine anyone would question you so much that you'd need to sneak in.

Scott/Emma ~10am

[seeingred scott summers ⊗ cyclops]

"Critical" would be an understatement in this case.

I just don't want to talk to anyone. Or didn't, when I planned my route.

Scott/Emma ~10am

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

I would agree. It makes me more appreciative that you let me in as much as you do.

Understandable. [...] If you feel like stopping by for a quick hello when you arrive, I'm normally up late working on Sundays. And I do actually just mean a quick hello.

Scott/Emma ~10am

[seeingred scott summers ⊗ cyclops]

I want you there. If I could be more open, I would.

I'm going to be covered in mud when I see you.

Scott/Emma ~10am

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

[...] Things take time. Even the point we're at now has been years in the making.

Oh no, mud. Terrifying.

Scott/Emma ~10am

[seeingred scott summers ⊗ cyclops]

It was incredibly stressful to be 15 and realize the cute older girl can read your mind.

I'll say hello.

Scott/Emma ~10am

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

I almost felt bad for you all, honestly.

I promise not to keep you too long, I'm sure you'll be tired.

Scott/Emma ~10am

[seeingred scott summers ⊗ cyclops]

Almost.

And you'll be busy. Why are you working on a Sunday night?

Scott/Emma ~10am

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

I'm not so soft that I didn't enjoy having the upper hand.

I've started carving out Sunday evenings for Frost International. Helping Christian prep for his weekly meetings, going over some numbers, reading horribly boring reports, all those glamorous things.

Scott/Emma ~10am

[seeingred scott summers ⊗ cyclops]

You still have the advantage on all of us.

You're juggling a lot. I'm sorry to add to your load.

Scott/Emma ~10am

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

I do, but I'm a little more mindful with it these days.

I like being busy. And shush, you're not. This is all a very welcome addition.
