➻ three | cardiovascular distress and it's many symptoms

 [What is this? A video? A video in which Charles is neither screaming his head off nor waving his intellect around at all and sundry?

Bless.

Actually this appears to be accidental - there's the noise of a tea kettle being quickly removed from heat, that buildup of a whine abruptly cut off and sloshing of water in a metal container. Most of the frame is occupied by the kitchen counter, a deep blue ceramic teapot, a jar of loose leaf tea and half of Charles' upper body - button up shirt with rolled up sleeves pushed past his elbows - sort of puttering around in the immediate area.

Loose leaf tea goes into a small metal tea straining ball, ball goes into the teapot, kettle pours hot water into teapot, kettle is returned to stove out of frame. Charles reaches up into a cabinet to obtain a cup, takes it down - 

and drops it, suddenly, where it rolls off the counter and quietly shatters on the floor. His fingers are turning blue and he turns his palms upwards.]

Ow?

[Charles uses his hands to push himself away from the counter (his face isn't visible at this point) though doesn't get too far, if the soft thud is any indicator. There's a sound rather like a door slamming and then opening simultaneously in the next second.

The feed ends there.]

Shaped like what? ['Cause there's a heart-shaped spiderweb in the corner.]

[ Have one deeply worried teenage boy, Charles. You remind him of his dad and this - well he's feeling pretty panic-y right now. ]

You better be okay, Prof.

[ There's a moment where Stiles just pretty much feels everything click into place. There's no way that's Charles' heart, he'd bet his young and dumb life on it. Because okay - he's a geek, he fully and completely knows that - but he's also a human being too and he's met Charles now, met him enough to know that as an image of who he is, well, that isn't it.

That's someone else entirely.

But he sucks in a breath and smiles enough, a genuine thing.
] Hey, that's good, that's uh -. [ Does he want to say be careful? No, probably not. ]

It's February. Wouldn't be the City without a hideously themed curse.

It'll probably last. You should see December.

[ The fact that he's still here is kind of a bummer. But his smile is crooked and almost - almost because hello Charles Xavier just made his heart into tea - amused. ]
eiremagic: (Eden - will think on it)

[Cranky.]

If it does that again, you come straight away to the hospital, do you hear me?

You can tell Erik that, too.
