[That gets Logan to halt for a second, looking back at Charles with a show of his teeth in not-quite amusement at the absolute hilarity of being called out like this by Charles. This is the Charles he really got to know too, in those later years when things got difficult. When he had to take accusations and sharper words just because he could take it, just like he could take the seizures. He's the survivor, the only one who can bear it and keep going. That's fine.]
That's awful rich coming from you.
[But - this isn't Charles, not the way he becomes when dementia loosens his lips and makes his whole world fragile. This is Charles as he remembers him from years ago. Not quite the strung out seeming jackass he thinks of automatically, but Logan's not as quick to remember the bar before that. It's been a long, long while for him since then. Even still, he knows he's not exactly a stunning first impression so he rolls with it.]
Focus hard enough and you can see which finger I'm holding up in my head.
[It's not fair to be this combative but Logan's still got a lot of anger and frustration in him when it comes to the memory of Charles. The unfairness that comes with how he was still unable to protect him - or, at least, be able to speak back this way without being the total douche in the situation. Which he often still was. It helps curb him away from the feeling of melancholy that sits in his chest upon seeing Charles again - happy, alive. Free.]
