"I'm allergic to pushing - breaks me out in hives."
Which was obviously, blatantly, bullshit. It was supposed to be obvious and blatantly bullshit. He was good at pulling that off in a tone that had just the slightest hint of a bite to it, though.
He shrugged one shoulder.
"I don't know you, or much about your life. I don't know what's in your head, and you aren't a member of my team. You're a fully grown adult and what you share or don't and with who isn't a call I could make, even if I wanted to. Anything you want to share, you can do it the old fashioned way - and probably have better friends to do it to, anyway."
And... he didn't want to see what that sort of sharing would do to Charles.
Besides, if he could kick Charles out of his head wholesale now? He would. Would have when Jean died. Fortunately, Charles was by and large respectful enough to stay largely out on his own.
