[ Charles is not someone who gives compliments off-hand, despite how friendly and pleasant he can be when he's in a good place. He means what he says and usually that meaning is what gives his words strength. He can see the qualities in Scott that he looked for in the start, and also the qualities that he tries to exemplify in his own actions. Charles is far kinder to other people than he is to himself.

Scott isn't acting like this is the only time he's heard such praise which Charles is very grateful for. His future self continued the support and encouragement that he knows caused positive reinforcement for his own students, while they were alive and around. As for the strange experience he had with his future self, well. ]

It was strange for me too, I would never have thought that possible, but I also didn't think time travel was possible.

[ The X-Men and mutants are capable of many things, but that is a new gift to him and seems so much larger than what he knows. He does wonder, on a strictly curious teacher side, how one trains someone in a gift like that, but it's not as if he got to have an elongated conversation. ]

I was able to transport my mind into Logan's consciousness in the future, and the older me sensed that I was there. He said he still had faith in the dream, even after we were near to extinction.

[ That is shocking to Charles. He is on the road to getting there but he can't say at this very moment he believes as strongly in that. He knows that Raven's actions did put public attention to the side for now, but forever? Only time will tell. ]

My sister made the right choice. Perhaps other key people did as well.
