these words would’ve once been comforting to the telepath, instead earning a sad attempt of a smile and a nod of her head. she’s aware that their situation is a lot more complicated than just a break up, as everything with them has always come with obstacles and hoops to jump through. and on one hand she can’t blame him for ending things between them, hell, she’s been in his head enough times to have predicted this outcome herself. that doesn’t change the way she feels though, especially now that the man stood before her feels further away now more than ever. “thank you, scott,” emma’s arms lift over her chest, a hand rubbing against her bicep in a makeshift way of comforting herself. “i’d say the same goes for you but you actually can’t pretend with me,” a lighthearted chuckle leaves her. “but it... means a lot.” 

any other time emma would have caved in. asked scott to stay with her the night. with him, the physical part of their relationship paled in comparison to the bond they had built both emotionally and mentally. because scott couldn’t keep anything from the telepath, she’d always remained that same respect when it came to whatever she was thinking or feeling. the good, the bad, and the ugly. and he’d accepted it all, no matter what. relationships come and go, and it wasn’t exactly their split that made things feel so strained, yet how he went about it. with jean suddenly in the picture, it became abundantly clear to emma that scott’s loyalties always lied elsewhere, even in the thick of their own relationship. this leads her with thoughts of insecurity. her psyche may be strong but when trapped inside along with everything else emma has endured, it’s hard to see this gesture as anything but one born of guilt. “no, scott, that’s fine. i wouldn’t want to impose.” a halfhearted smile graces sculpted features. “i’ll see you in the morning.”
