Despite being from a completely different world, Charles definitely feels more parental toward Brianna than he does toward the X-kids. Part of it is the age thing, with her being younger, and part of it being the fact that she is from a different world, so he doesn't feel like he's... inheriting someone else's relationship with her. So it's more straightforward! She's a kid! She's been through shit! She needs some adults that she can rely on! And Charles would love to provide that for her and will try his best. He's well aware that she finds the telepathy thing kind of creepy, but he's used to that, so it doesn't bother him. And that actually also increases the parental feeling -- mom's gotta do what mom's gotta do. :|||
...and then there's the Erik factor. Charles is... actually pretty glad about Erik and Breeze's relationship. He thinks that Brianna has a solid enough head on her shoulders and strong enough relationships with the X-kids that she won't be, like, immediately brainwashed into "KILL ALL HUMANS" or anything (even if she does have... sympathies -- Charles sees a little bit of Angel in Brianna, something that he can't quite reach, for some reason), and that the trade-off -- Erik having a kid of his own (given how his relationships with the X-kids will always be influenced by his future/alternate selves) -- can only do good. Even if it would make Charles extremely uncomfortable to see Brianna running around with Magneto's helmet on. CHARLES WILL RUN INTERFERENCE IF HE FEELS THAT HE NEEDS TO but he doesn't see a need for that yet.

Kind of like my replies, you mean? |DD
