"I'm just glad you didn't pick Odysseus. It's hard to yell in a combat situation, for one thing. And between the two of us it would be bad precedent."
That was the kind of thing that passed for a joke when Scott said it. He suspected, though, that the comparison wasn't inapt. What were the words used to describe that traveller -- silver-tongued? Circumspect? He could almost hear the Professor's words in his head -- In today's idiom, one might read 'circumspect' as 'devious'. Yeah, Scott thought back at his mentor. You're one to talk.
It wasn't an actual conversation, Scott was fairly sure. With Xavier back on the planet, he couldn't always tell.
Considering Sloane's response to Logan, Scott knew he wasn't getting the full story of that meeting, but he was curious. "What impression did he make on you? Be honest. Wolverine is such a fixture in our little world, it's a little hard to imagine how he comes across -- meeting him for the first time."
