“ jean, do you have a moment ?? ” charles asks without preamble.  the smile on his face, however, serves as a softer greeting.  as always, seeing jean fills charles with a certain hope.  few among them have endured what jean has endured and come out the other side still so full of kindness.  in that way, she offers an important perspective in the world to come.  momentarily, charles is distracted when the wheel of his chair gets slowed down by the soft and dense landscape, but the ground under him quickly responds in kind, smoothing out.  charles reaches out to krakoa with his mind to offer a gentle thanks before returning his attention to jean.  “ i was hoping to get your insight on something i’ve been planning. ”
