Who: Charles Xavier & you.
What: Open post. Feel free to throw your characters at him.
Where: Mog Hill & Mafaton or somewhere in the central area of the city that your character is likely to bump into him.
When: Veerdi afternoon and evening.
Notes: None.
Warnings:  None.

With no afternoon appointments and no one needing his immediate help at the Glory Shada (he is a counselor, after all, and they tend to keep more regular hours), Charles decides to slip away from work early in order to window shop around the city. It's mostly to look at furniture and other essential household items, although bookshops and strange trinkets inevitably end up catching his eye. Every so often he can be seen in shops, snapping pictures on his CiD, enquiring after prices and how long someone will be able to keep a reservation. Occasionally he'll wander into a cafe for coffee or tea on the go, more to warm up on a chilly Ruundary than anything else.

While walking, he lets his mind idle around, picking up and sifting through passing thoughts as he goes. Despite some friendly warnings to be cautious and his own recent encounters with the unforeseen forces of Baedal, he really can't help himself at times.

Then they're well suited in their nosiness, especially since Charles notably tilts his head to watch the disappearing ink.

As he starts to shuffle things back into his satchel, his words tumble quickly after Hermione's thanks, "That is absolutely incredible, if you don't mind my saying so." His gaze flicks up from the notebook to catch her eye, and his smile is open-mouthed, as if it could become a delighted laugh at any minute.

Which gives way to a faux-bashfulness --he's not about to apologise for finding magic, well, magical, but he's aware it's probably an every day sort of thing for the strange woman in front of him. "Forgive me, my latest reading has included various forms of magic, or thaumaturgy as I believe it's also called? But I've never had a chance to see it up close and personal. Only in the various goings-on in the city." Then, another explanation, because he's noticed her noticing his papers, "I'm a geneticist primarily working at the Glory Shada as a counselor for people and families with mixed lineage, so I'm having to traverse realms of knowledge I'd never even considered possible before."
