Once again, in the infirmary

[She's embarrassed and horrified and more sorry than anyone can know. But she puts on the brave face like a good X-man, and ends up just looking tired.]

Ah'm really gettin' tired of wakin' up in here. Tell me this place gives vacation time.

[Private | Charles]

Thank you. [So much relief and gratitude in those two words.]

[Private | Beatrix]

Ah'm more sorry than Ah can say. Ah understand if ya need ta kick mah ass.

[Private | Kara]

Kara.... Ah'm so sorry.

[Private | Arthas]

That was me. But Ah apologize just the same.

[Private | The Emperor]

Ah'm sorry for what Ah did. Ah couldn't control it. Is yer friend all right?

[Private | Ned]

Tell me he's in Zero and ya destroyed that damn thing.

[Private | Erik, a bit later]

Ah hate ta ask, but... feel like playin' hero for me again? Ah don't think Ah can sleep if Ah'm alone right now.

If Ah could, believe me, it'd be a lot quieter in here. [She taps her temple to illustrate where she means. If only Charles or Jean were more at the level she was used to. Then she could honor the request.]

It's...not like Ah'm thinkin' what you're thinkin' right now. It's more like that last flood only...on a larger scale. They're like memories now.

That's not something you need to... tolerate.

It's just how mah powers work. Ah'll meditate for a while, try ta get some organization in mah head, and then it'll get a little quieter. If not less crowded.

Again, Ah'm sorry. Ah'd change it if Ah could.

Private

[darknessb4me]

No. I'm sorry.

Ah'm real sure you're not at fault here, darlin'.
