This is a relatively new trick, this repulsion business, and it surprises Erik how easy it is to maintain once it's there. Still, although the signs of exertion are mild, to a hunter of men they should be obvious; he does not present the same picture of effortless stoicism to which Logan would be accustomed. Neither is he indifferent about this encounter. He did not come here to start a fight, and although he will finish one if need be, he does not at all want to do it... hence the polite alternative of a forcefield versus flinging the man away bodily, or worse.

He is first to break off the stare when his attention shifts to Charles with a flick of the eyes. He is, of course, still acutely aware of the other mutant's bones, and quite prepared to respond to their movements.

For now he says nothing, only waits. (Waits for Charles to say something reparative, probably.)
