[ Scott listens intently in ever word Charles utters, taking note when necessary and nodding while continuing to fix the other's wheelchair. He doesn't think he'd take too long to get it fixed, or at least make it as less rickety as possible. All Scott wants for his esteemed teacher is for him to travel smoothly with it.
Hearing how Charles saw his future self, or the self Scott's familiar of, doesn't surprise him one bit. He knows just how potent his Professor is. In fact, if there's something that surprises him, it's that Charles hasn't done something similar to this sooner. Maybe he just hasn't heard of it in his own time. It's also not surprising that the Charles he knows still believes in his dream even when circumstances were dire. It's like finding a fork in the kitchen, admittedly.
So what actually surprises Scott, enough for him to glance briefly at Charles, is the mention of a sister. Because he's sure the Professor of his time hasn't mentioned any of the sort. ]
I didn't know you have a sister. [ His tone hints at both surprise and confusion, with a touch of matter-of-fact in it. Scott feels he knows everything about his Professor, so this is completely new territory to him. ]
