( the cyclops mention has julian scrunching up his nose, but he keeps himself from making any commentary out loud. that's a problem for him to handle later. or never. they can just never address the cyclops in the room, that'll probably be easier.

because it's not as if julian hates him or anything, it's just - their relationship is complicated. more often than not, summers spends his time fucking julian over. when he bothers to acknowledge his existence at all. )

I wasn't there, so I don't know what the hell brought me to that point.

( he wasn't there yet. but he can imagine why he pushed that far: the loss of krakoa must have hurt. julian hasn't experienced it first hand yet, and yet it still hurts. just knowing the inevitability of it is enough for julian to sympathize with whatever dumbass move future him pulled. )

Besides, you would've been there, right? You saying you would've just let her fry me?
