[ Which is when there's a voice at the door, just the right side of dry, humoured. ] Are you thinking too hard again, Charles?

[ Stepping into the room neatly, Erik's sleeves of his turtleneck are pushed a little higher on his forearms than usual, feeding out the picture of relaxation. It's been a long day, but he's very happy to see Charles. ] You know what we've said about that.

[groovyprof]

Yes, yes. [ He smiles, Erik's voice ripping him free from those deeply consuming thoughts. ] Do come right on it, Erik. It wouldn't do to have you standing by the door the entire time.

[ He moved to the offer the seat opposite the one Charles regularly chose to seat himself in. ]

[atthemercyof]

[ With the briefest flicker of a smile as he crosses the threshold, graciously accepts his seat. ] What were you dwelling on so deeply?

[groovyprof]

Nothing of importance. [ Tilting his head to the wine. ] It is evening now, would you care for a glass?
