[ All Charles wanted to do was talk about it, because he is angry, he still is angry, and for him the more it stews and it sticks, the more pain it actually gives to him. Those years of silence between them with resentment building only poisoned Charles himself. He is a communicator by nature, he would much prefer for them to be arguing than nothing at all.
But they couldn't have this then either, because of his choice to block his powers for his own sanity. If Charles could look into his mind like this, if they had been able to reconnect like they are now with total honesty, the pendulum might have shifted again toward reconciliation. Many reasons on top of reasons for why it never seems to be the right time for them, how each leap between them becomes larger.
Charles can see how it triggered Erik, but he leans closer, looking deeply into Erik's eyes as well as his mind. ]
If I knew you could harm her, I never would have let her leave. I thought no matter what our differences, you would protect her. How could you do that to someone who loved you? And how can I trust you won't do it again?
