"To say the least. I've been gone as long as I was with you." She'd spent nearly twenty years with Charles. And then she spent nearly twenty years without him. It was said that absence made the heart grow fonder. For her, it just served to open her eyes to the faults in him that she'd never let herself see when she'd relied on him. She had missed him, but she didn't feel the blind, frustrated devotion she'd once felt.
"Don't worry about it," she said gently. "I'll help you with the transition."
To be fair, they were in the same boat. But Raven had also been the one out in the world more. Charles had always been a bit of a homebody, minus the time when he'd searched for mutants with Erik. Sure, he'd had school and he was always up for a night out in the bar, but he always came back home. And now that he had the school, that was even more of a feature of his personality.
"We'll see," she said to the last statement. People still remained people. Once they got over the shock of being in a new place, she would see if they started giving people who were different a hard time.
