[ If it helps at all, Athos does tend to move fairly quietly without actually intending to. He just moves normally, and it comes out without too much sound involved. He's not sure why that seems to be something he's adopted over the years - except that, no, actually, he's actually quite sure why that's the case - but it's there.
This is though, unfortunately, a situation he is not entirely sure how to approach. He sets some of his things by the door as he watches Charles continue to be fairly despondent, albeit angrily so, apparently, and crosses the room to him at least to slightly rearrange the pillow to minimize the risk of accidental suffocation. He doesn't remove it, but he does shift the angle just a bit. And he also wants to look at Charles' face for a moment, just. Because he does.
Just for a moment though, and then he replaces it slightly differently and goes to remove his bag and jacket and such. He doesn't actually seem that shocked, but he's internally somewhat floored at what Charles said. ]
How is that possible? [ The anti-mutant prejudice wasn't anything neither of them weren't familiar with - Charles for experiencing it and Athos mostly just for hearing about the experiences - but it hadn't actually gotten so far as all that just yet. Not that he was aware of, anyway. ] What happened?
they tend to do that
