You can ask whatever; I'm game.

I love you so much.

I gave Erik a #1 Dad mug for Christmas, but only because you feel more like my mom. Or what it felt like a mom ought to be.

[There's no push-pull of authority and fear and neediness and eagerness to prove herself with him, none of the taut balance she associates with fatherhood even when it works well. He's just - safety, warmth, comfort. An easy understanding she always wanted from Magda, and never got - although that part, at least, was no one's fault. They never had as much in common as Magneto thought they did.]

Yes. [That's how he feels, on the balance.]

I'm entirely all right with that.

I feel like everything's going to be alright, with you.

[She laughs, softly, grins.]

No pressure.

[Because they're the same person; she gets it from Ben and sometimes other people, and it's heavy, but it's precious.]
