Charles has been taking advantage of the fact that time stops in Milliways to do work and learn more about the people who pass through here. There's such a variety to the minds and experiences that if he didn't have to finish his editing, he'd probably spend most of his time with his eyes closed and just listening.

As it is, one of his sections isn't going as he'd like and he keeps going back over a certain sentence until he's quite lost track of time.

When he finally gets it right, he looks up and realizes that took a while and allows himself a break, so he leans back in his chair and observes the Bar.

Tiny tag: Charles Xavier, Antinoos
OOC: If you approach him while he's working then he's not mentally listening except quite passively. After he's stopped working, he is actively listening to the conversations and minds around him. Feel free to interrupt him or wait until he's on a break. Please let me know what he'll encounter in your pup's mind. Thank you.

The robot repeats it, slowly and carefully. One gets the sense that it would roll its eyes if it were capable.

The robot cants its head to one side. ".-- .... .- - / ... -.-. --- ..- - ...?"

( What scouts? )

The robot makes an awed noise.

"-.-- --- ..- / -- ..- ... - / -... . / .-. . .- .-.. .-.. -.-- / --- .-.. -.."

( You must be really old. )

The robot makes another puzzled noise. It never got the memo about people being from different parts of the timestream, apparently.

"..--- ----- ..--- ..---," replies the robot, hesitantly.

".-- .... -.-- / -.. .. -.. -. .----. - / .- .-.. -.-- -..- / - . .-.. .-.. / -- . / - .... .- -?" says the robot, more to himself than to Charles.

( Why didn't Alyx tell me that? )

"... .... . / -- .- -.. . / -- .," explains the robot. "-.. --- / -.-- --- ..- / .-- .- -. - / - --- / -- . . - / .... . .-.?"

( She made me. Do you want to meet her? )

"..-. --- .-.. .-.. --- .-- / -- .!" the robot beeps as he floats away from the table.

The little robot leads Charles over to a table covered with maps and notes. Seated at that table is a heavily pregnant woman of mixed African and Asian descent. Her thoughts are scattered: battle plans, motivational speeches, concern for her unborn children, hope that she can return home before she gives birth. There's also... something else, something harder to pin down. It's almost as if she's reading someone else's mind even as Charles reads hers.
vance_prime: (Um...?)

"Hm?" She looks up. "Oh, has he been bothering you?"

The robot makes an offended noise.
