Erik's note to Charles had said he would be back either late tonight or tomorrow...
Erik could go home now and be back in time for a game of chess with the man he loved.
"I am not required to return until tomorrow," Magneto replied.

"Gladly, doctor. You are a most gracious host."

Doom set off, cape trailing; hopefully Magneto would follow and not get lost, or stumble into a rogue robotic sentry.
There was a blazing fire going in the fireplace -- Doom seemed to have an affinity for open flames, and the castle was as drafty as when it had first been built. All of the furniture in this particular room was equally ancient and monolithic, though there was conspicuously no metal to be seen besides the corkscrew for the bottle of wine. There were already two glasses waiting. It was an oddly delicate tableau for being set up for a pair of men in elaborate costumes.

Erik knew better than to wander off on his own while quite literally in another man's castle and followed Doom without a word.
The blazing fire and wine were hardly a surprise... after all, his host wasn't used to his hospitality being optional and even if it had been in this particular case, it only made sense for everything to be arranged.

"Take a seat, and make yourself comfortable. How are matters in the West, besides foreboding?"

"Oh, things are running their course," Erik said as he gracefully sat down.
"There appear to be a great number of interesting and talented individuals inhabiting Paris these days."
Which in itself was foreboding, actually. Because these people all had to come from somewhere... times and places they were torn away from, only to turn up in Paris, often with absolutely no clue as to what they were doing there themselves.

"Any young persons of interest? Of course, Doom would not expect you to reveal the secrets of your friends and students, but it is regrettably relevant to our earlier discussion."
He poured two glasses, but set his own on the mantel and stood by the fire.

Again, Erik didn't allow himself to be bothered by Doom's minor antics of superiority... they were rather amusing to spot that way. Instead he simply opted to treat the relatively comfortable chair as if it were a throne.
"There is the girl who first came to me with news of the new developments. A bit blunt in the delivery to the more refined palate, but not without promise."

"Hmm. Was she French? They do have an extraordinary talent for effrontery."

"American, I believe," Erik replied as he took a sip of wine.
"You'll find that very few people in Paris nowadays are actually French."

"Is that so? How fitting for a city for tourists. Did you happen to catch her name?"

"She appears to be known as Red Riding Hood by most. At least, that's what she told me."
Erik considered giving Doom her real name, but he wasn't sure what good that would do. Or harm.

"Hmm. She is one of the recent crop of American adventurers, then, I imagine."

"One could say that, yes. She does have some actual power, though. Learned it from a book, I've been told."
Which was better than some of the homo sapien thrill seekers.
