Each name marks its own sin.
And one day I'll answer for those offenses.
But not today.
Only my actions...
what I do in the name of all mutants...
hold any real meaning."

“…such feelings are, I think, best kept to oneself…”
“Fair enough.”
“I do…care for you, Raven. Very much so. And, I suppose…those feelings could be defined as romantic in nature. However, given the current state of things, such sentiment is highly ill advised and quite foolish on my part.”
“There’s your answer. Satisfied?”
”So essentially if we were anything but we are..”she more murmured to herself than to him.”Yeah, Erik.. Satisfied. Thanks..”
His eyebrows creased lightly, sensing the - apparently genuine - disappointment in her words.
“I’m hardly saying it’s an impossibility, Raven…perhaps when the day comes that our kind achieves their rightful place of dominance in this world…perhaps then you and I can be together…truly.”
“It’s certainly something worth being optimistic about, at any rate…”
Never make a promise or plan Take a little love where you can Nobody’s on nobody’s side Never stay too long in your bed Never lose your heart, use your head Nobody’s on nobody’s side.
“…such feelings are, I think, best kept to oneself…”
“Ever straightforward, Mystique, as per usual…”
“Allow me to answer your question with a question, then: if I do have feelings for you, does it matter? Does it change anything between us? Does it change your affiliation to the Brotherhood? I should certainly think not, at any rate…”
”No, but that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t like an answer..”
“Fair enough.”
“I do…care for you, Raven. Very much so. And, I suppose…those feelings could be defined as romantic in nature. However, given the current state of things, such sentiment is highly ill advised and quite foolish on my part.”
“…such feelings are, I think, best kept to oneself…”
“ - I’ve never professed to be much of a romantic…”
“…but are feelings ever really supposed to be that simple?”
”Simple enough to be able to tell if you’ve got them or not, I’d think.”
“Ever straightforward, Mystique, as per usual…”
“Allow me to answer your question with a question, then: if I do have feelings for you, does it matter? Does it change anything between us? Does it change your affiliation to the Brotherhood? I should certainly think not, at any rate…”
