( it gives her some relief, knowing that he doesn't think too badly about her choices. or at all, it seems. and, well, she doesn't need to do a lot of maths at all to draw this conclusion. )
i saw the numbers on your arm. i remember them on some older people in my neighborhood.
[ He had a feeling it was something related to that. It's not as if he goes out of his way to keep the numbers covered, and so anyone who comes from a version of Earth similar to his will know what it means. That she connects the dots is of absolutely no surprise to him. ]
I've distanced myself from my heritage for a good portion of my life, but I am, yes.
My parents and I were taken to Auschwitz. I had just turned fourteen years old.
i'd like to talk more with you , though. in person. not about this necessarily.
( she's taking a gulp of courage here, hoping that this isn't a new 'friendship' that she's botched by asking questions she shouldn't be asking, or by showing certain eagerness. )
I could probably think of a few other interesting topic.
[ Far less depressing, too. That's his attempt at a joke. ]
I don't know if Charles has told you, but we have taken over a large portion of one of the motels. By 'we' I mean mutants. You can come by whenever you feel like.
( it might not land as a joke necessarily, but it helps ease wanda's spiraling thoughts that he makes that kind of comment.
still— )
he might have. we were talking about other things.
you'll be there ?
( even if she doesn't feel indifferent or negatively about charles, it's clear that wanda has become more attached to erik than the telepath. anxiety rises in her, at the idea of this 'group' that charles had started talking about. the idea of erik being involved (why wouldn't he be?) makes her feel somewhat more keen on the idea. )
[ She doesn't need to ask twice, of course. Erik promptly sends her the address, expecting she won't be shy about letting him know when she wants to come by. ]
I'll see if I can get you a fun magnet. Maybe make you one?
( as promised, she will note this down on a piece of paper and keep it somewhere where she can see it. the text message that comes after is unexpected, if only because wanda thought that was the end of their conversation.
it makes her smile. )
if you're offering. you can have creative freedom with it.

Granted, perhaps it is the sort of topic that should be discussed in person. I'm not very accustomed to speaking over text messages.

Well, I'm not around all the time, but you can message me whenever you want to come by and I'll let you know.
[ And if it's important he'll just ditch work to meet her, he's done it before for Charles, so. ]

if you give me the address , i will write it down. put it on the fridge with a fun magnet.
( she won't abuse his generosity, and will ask if he's in first or make an appointment to visit him some other day. )
