[*rubs hand over face* I couldn't even believe when I did that. This is that fan film. Totally worth the watch. The special effects and actors are incredible. Also I do all sorts of cross-canon things! They're always fun. :3]
Aurus, willingly or not, had given both men a great deal to think about. Hank had to make a choice of morality as well as trust and friendship. Did he believe that Charles was capable of protecting himself should something go wrong with whatever this was that was happening that night as much as was Charles able to protect his own broken heart if Aurus tried to worm into it? Could he step in to another man's life who was fully capable of making his own decisions? Had he not done enough or had he already done too much?
Charles had to decide if he was going to go through with this. It wasn't hard to realize that if he went to Aurus' room tonight or visa versa, it would end in things that he had not done in a long time. There was too much tension between them, sexual and vibrant, to keep it to merely seeing the Dream as Aurus was so intrigued in showing him. Even that short time to view Glint's lair had shown him the innevitability of it. What would it be for him to be a part of this, something parts of him dearly wanted as it was something approaching normal, but then to have Aurus leave when the man chose to return to the Mists and his home? Was it better or worse?
If Aurus didn't come back in on his own, eventually Charles come out to find him. The wheelchair glided smoothly over the grass, but he stopped a short distance away, not wanting to disturb the other if he was deep into meditation. It seemed quite natural to find Aurus out here on his own, tucked up in the grass, looking considerably more comfortable than he would have been after so long. He did take the time to appreciate the tablet up close, watching it as it pulsed and hummed, wondering about the centaur that had carved it.
