[At some point, it's going to really kick in that Charles punched Tony in the face, and that he should really be apologizing for it. Yes, Tony had deserved it, and he wasn't sure he was ever truly going to feel completely sorry about it, but it did make him even more of a hypocrite than usual, considering the lengths he'd went to to talk other people out of doing exactly what he'd done.
But right now, he's still too angry to spend too much time thinking about that, and so instead of immediately second guessing himself, he just crosses his arms, tucking his right hand against his left arm and ignoring that it probably hurts more than it should. He still doesn't really know how to throw a decent punch.]
No one. And if anyone does, I'll send them away, because we have a few things we need to discuss, and, regardless, I'm not interested in seeing you hurt. I think one punch is more than enough for one week. [And some of the heat's gone out of his voice, because Charles isn't really one for shouting and raging at people. His anger's always been more understated, and between that and the fact that it's so rare, it canbe intimidating. But honestly, right now, he's looking less to intimidate and more to just impress on him why this wasn't allowed to happen again, because he didn't quite trust Tony to stick to his word on that one entirely.]
I understand that Erik's a difficult person to get along with, [And let's face it, you're not either. :v] and I'm not asking you to be his friend. But I sincerely hope you stick to your word about that. I've seen Erik's memories of what happened, almost as if I was there myself, and I could show you them, if you're really not convinced that it isn't something to laugh about - although I'm sure there's at least a part of you that would be hurt if he tried to make light of what happened to you in Afghanistan - but I'd prefer not to.
