Obviously so. In your eyes, anyhow. [ he still doesn't understand how you can completely have no decency regarding other lives. there's no point, however, in arguing. there's no point in trying to change his mind, and Charles is beginning to realize all too soon how much the other man is the most dangerous he could imagine. he's a sociopath, honestly. there's no point in trying to appeal to his human side. ]

Surprise surprise. [ he's dry, sarcastic, angry ] I doubt you'll be able to use me to control Erik, however. You'll be surprised how self-motivated the man can be. [ he doesn't want to give Shaw the idea of using him to control him. even if Erik is more caring than Shaw is, even though Erik does care about him -- without a shadow of a doubt -- Charles doesn't want Shaw to think he'd be able to use him to manipulate Erik. ]

Perhaps you're right. [ it's a harsh reality, but it's true. nonetheless, he finds himself almost piteous towards Shaw. ] Was there something else you needed from me? I'd rather be alone. [ at least than to face Shaw. ]
