[ For someone who has had enough commentary about him thrown around in the past few days, Erik isn't one to shy away from a public feed, least of all when he has something to say in the first place. He'll take the hits as they come, and quite honestly, Erik anticipates them should anyone want to address the matter in the first place, but that's not what he's here about right now.

Fingers tapping lightly against the surface nearby, the feed is focused directly on Erik's jaw, impatient as he is generally. It seems as if for a moment he's lost in his own thoughts, but the camera only stills like that for all of a second or two before the tapping stops and Erik glances levelly with the video, neutral as possible. ]

I believe after recent events, [ read: demons. ] it would be prudent to ensure those you're familiar with are still around.

[ In a way it's personal enough for him, given that Erik has been keeping tabs on Charles and the rest of the mutants as well as possible, alongside of the ones he's come to form decent enough company with. ]

Perhaps the ship seems to show a bias for those whom the current inhabitants already know.

Not important, just... spoiler alert? Rocks fall, everyone dies. [ for once, this is not a Jenna Pop Culture Moment. ]

Kirk's got my vote for captain, and you have my vote for 'guy I'd trust to get me out alive'. That's one person who isn't out to get you.

[ Damn it Jenna, you need to introduce Erik to this sort of stuff one day. ] Are you referring to figurative with that?

Though the vote of confidence is appreciated; I have no intention of being a captain. Just a leader to get us all out.

I wish. [ someday, erik, she will get you drunk and try to act out her favorite movies. ]

Good, because as much as I adore you, you're not captain material. A little too... honest. [ not a critique-- jenna doesn't think she's captain material either. ]

I think I've made enough enemies here anyway, Jenna. [ But he doesn't miss the term 'adore'; Erik would never act on it, not when Jenna is here and when Ric had been here as well, though he's appreciative of it. ]

Winning support is one thing, winning their affections is another. Besides, that honesty can be my downfall in the first place.

The answer is obviously divide and conquer. I'm heavy on charm, you're heavy on the ability to get stuff done-- maybe I should kick Mason off my space pirate kickball league and draft you.

[ if ric weren't a factor-- well. he is, but jenna's always been good at separating attraction from affection when need be. see: lockwood, mason, and their entire friendship. ]
