You can trust me. For my Raven, at least. I wouldn't ask that of you for the one you dealt with.
[ If the older Raven showed up here, after all that she has done, Charles would still love her, and would probably try to connect with her again. But he would not ask that of his students who she's harmed, he can't go that far. What he's capable of forgiving is entirely different. He would protect Scott from her, in that case. But his Raven, she loved her mutant brothers and sisters, she would want connections if she could get them. It's the best way to balance her out again, after going to such a dark place. ]
I know this is overwhelming, Scott.
[ Charles doesn't have to be a mindreader to see that Scott is struggling. The situation is already a stressor for both of them, and then added to that he's dealing with a young Professor, with information he didn't expect, it's a lot for any one person to take. He understands that. His tone is gentler, on the edge of worried. It is his responsibility to look out for Scott now that he is here, or rather, for them to do it as a team.]
We'll figure out what to do here together. As strange as this all is, we did find one another.
