paid respects

Summary:

A Facebook update, a displeased sister, and a would-be suitor.

A prelude to Loud and Outrageous, featuring Raven and Erik.

Notes:

Because of afrocurl's prompting and palalife's wonderful art. Her art references a line in chapter one of "Loud and Outrageous," I recommend looking at her work to better understand this chapter!

Chapter 1: Charles Xavier has recently updated his status

Chapter Text

Charles Xavier: Aftermath of today's delicious lunch!
[24 likes]
Moira MacTaggert: Waiting for a status change soon! :)
Raven Darkholme: DISLIKE. I will not approve of any relationship until the partner in question has introduced themselves to me and paid their respects as is my due.
Alex Yo'Momma Summers: Prof, I really didn't need to know about your sex life.
Charles Xavier: Alex I was expressing my love of food! Delicious meals! Who said anything about sex?
Hank McCoy: Although I don't know who you are Alex, Charles is entitled to post about whatever he likes to on his Facebook.
Charles, the food looked really good.

Hi Ms. Darkholme,

This is Erik Lehnsherr, I'm interested in courting Mr. Xavier. Shall we do dinner at 6pm at The Cheval?

When I said pay respects, I wasn't expecting it quite so literally.

You're paying. No need to bring a dowry. You can thank me by bringing a bottle; I'll bring the baby pics.
