That would of course be her, although unusually late. For a second his mind wandered, but he restrained it. He was certain any reason the young woman had for being late was perfectly valid, and the moments of relaxing silence were something he cherished. Even in the short time he'd known her he had been astounded in the way she had grown up. Not in her body, but her mind. She had been so restricted, trapped and caged and while she might be nervous she was a far cry from the girl he had first met.<br/><br/>He opened his arms wide in a joyful gesture, setting the book down. A wide smile on his face he gave a warm little chuckle.<br/><br/>"Rahne, it's lovely to see you. I ate well, but perhaps you'd be happy to set it down on my desk."<br/><br/>His tone was as soft and friendly as ever, and he was genuinely grateful that Rahne had accepted her position at the school. Her willingness to learn and better herself was a source of hope for Charles, each day that she became a bolder and brighter person made him smile. And the apple was a lovely gesture too, although clearly a small sign of the darkness she had experienced. Briefly he felt anger. But, as always, Charles quelled that emotion in an instant. He could not be allowed to consider options and paths of vengeance, no matter what penalty the evildoer may deserve Charles would never be a man of wrath.<br/><br/>Regardless, that was more than enough idle thinking. Time to see how the locks and barriers in her mind had been holding up. He gestured lightly to the chair just opposite his desk, motioning for her to sit.<br/><br/>"Thank you for coming to see me, I'm very glad you're staying at my school. We can chat a little as I work, if that would be acceptable for you?"<br/><br/>He always made a point of checking how others wanted things to be run, as some found they could sense his mind within theirs and found it hard to talk. But Rahne had always been surprisingly comfortable around Charles, which comforted him. It was nice to be seen as a kind, accepting man.<br/><br/>"As usual I'll need your permission before I can help you. I will make sure you can maintain as much control and choice as possible with your powers, suppressing any unintentional incidents. And I promise to do my best to avoid any invasion of your privacy or personal life. Is there anything else you need doing differently this time?"<br/><br/>As he finished he gave a firm, comforting smile. He knew his way of speaking could appear a little austere to some students, but hopefully his warmth could dispel that.<br/><br/>
