Hank didn't assume what some might have, mostly just believing that Aurus and Charles, as much as Charles had suggested, had started to bond immediately, which was a surprise and a pleasant one at that. Charles really needed more to himself, just once in a while, since he started to get more closed off after what Erik, and in part, his sister, had done. Still, even with that connection, Hank planned to keep an eye on Aurus. The last thing Charles needed was to be hurt again.

"Lunctime," Hank said quickly at the reminder, a small smile on his lips. "I'll be ready in the lab; Charles can bring you down there." They were walking slowly through the mansion, but since it wasn't quite time for the younger children to have their class yet, there was still some action in the halls. Aurus would spot a little tabby cat go darting by, then nearly end up bowled over by a dog as it ran down the hall, leather handle bobbing up on its back without someone holding it. Hank looked over in surprise as a boy came running after the dog, panting. "Jeremy, what happened?"

"Kairi turned into a cat and Pebbles is trying to catch her!" The young boy - no more than tweleve - complained.

Hank groaned quietly and looked up and down the hall, then called out to what seemed like another one of the staff. Quickly she took over Jeremy's problem, leaving Hank to look to Aurus apologetically and leave the little mess in the hands of someone else. "Sorry about that."
