When he looks at the cup, sitting there on the table so innocuously, Erik wonders what it must be like to possess an ability that affects the brain itself.

All the same, the ready availability of this...medicine, drug, whatever one chooses to call it, does nothing whatsoever to assuage his suspicion—but the way Charles delivers that assertion about his abilities does mollify him somewhat. Barely. For the moment.
