[ he's cutting it a bit close but he had been unaware of the usual customs until then and now, well...

He may be in dire straits.

Punching in the number for Rain's cell, he stared and then sweat dropped and then stared a tiny bit more before finally hitting send. ]

Um... Rain? [ voicemail or first ring pick-up, either way, this was hardly the way to ask a girl out on a date. ]

[Almost no one ever called her, so she was a bit surprised.]

Hello? Arthur?

[ there's a moment of silence on his end as he tries to remember how to breath ]

Oh, yes. It's me, Arthur. I'm just... [ he takes a deep breath ] Do you have plans for tomorrow?

Tomorrow? No, I don't think so. Why?

Oh, well... You do know it's Merlin's wedding tomorrow, right? [ just about everybody in the City seemed to know ]

Oh. I guess I didn't - I mean, I knew he was getting married, but I didn't know it was tomorrow.

[And now her voice sounded a little worried.]

Or maybe he told me and I just didn't remember.

[ his question is immediate ] Why would Merlin tell you about the wedding?

[ he didn't suspect anything, did he? Not that there's anything to suspect, but, well... ]

Because he's my friend?

Was he not supposed to?

[ good thing this isn't video. He's already going purple from holding his breath ]

Oh, no. He can be friends with whomever he wishes, it's just...

[ he clears his throat ] I've been told it's tradition for guests to bring a friend. I was thinking [ hoping ] you might do me the favor of being mine.

[And he could probably almost hear the smile growing.]

You want me to come with you?

Oh, I'd like that, Arthur. I'd like that very much!

Hello Miss Rain,

We spoke briefly a little over a week ago and I wished to extend my apologies for not getting in touch with you sooner; the arrival of several persons from back home plus other peculiarities kept me rather distracted.

At the moment I lack the ability to speak but this will end on the 10th of March. After that point, would you be at all interested in discussing the similarities and differences of our abilities in person? If you can tolerate a conversation that will be completely telepathic on my part and can suggest somewhere that no one else will be, we could speak before then.

I look forward to hearing from you and I do hope that February has been treating you well.

Yours,

Charles Xavier

Dear Mr. Xavier,

That's okay. Everyone gets busy.

I don't understand all of what you wrote. I'm not really so smart. But we can talk when you can talk again. Or we can meet at my house or the greenhouse on the roof of the Library. No one will bother us there.

I am good and hope you are too.

Your friend,
Just Rain, not Miss
