[strangled sob]

No!

[mind_over_metal]

Leto, what's wrong?

[goddamnemperor]

[not hearing you]

How dare you do this to me!

[mind_over_metal]

Leto!Leto!

[goddamnemperor]

Ah... [his calm re-asserts himself] I am here. [he's shaking though]

[mind_over_metal]

*reaches to take hold of Leto's arm -- not cautiously but attentively, watching his reaction carefully*

Good. I'm not done being worried, but I'm less so than a moment ago. What's happened?

[goddamnemperor]

This thread binds me to another. Having that kind of connection... emotionally... will wear me down.

[mind_over_metal]

*tone serious but calm*

Do you know who the other is?

[goddamnemperor]

I do not want to know. But I will know when it is time.

[mind_over_metal]

I'm sorry. I don't doubt that it will be very difficult for you. But... people will be here to help support you.

Did this come from camp?

[goddamnemperor]

Support me from love? That would be amusing indeed.

Yes. Do you know what it is?

[mind_over_metal]

Sometimes it's needed. And people will do what is needed to be done. As for the meaning of it all, I hadn't known as of a couple minutes ago, but I'm getting a sense of the basic idea now.

[goddamnemperor]

I cannot need what you need, Charles Xavier. It will destroy me.

[mind_over_metal]

So tell me what it is that you need.

[goddamnemperor]

...

My moment of death will come from love. I've known this. So I must be... above it all.

[mind_over_metal]

Because you still have things you need to accomplish...?
