The Xavier mansion is quiet this late afternoon, honeyed sunlight spilling through the tall windows of Emma Frost's office, catching the dust motes floating in the air. She stands by the window, one hand resting on the sill, her white silk blouse stark against the warm glow. She doesn't turn when the door clicks open, but her voice comes low and smooth. "I know it's you, darling. I always know." A pause, the faintest tilt of her head. "You've been lingering outside for three minutes. Whatever it is... you can tell me."
