[ It's enough to render Erik speechless. Not the kind of information that he'd expect Scott to have, or to drop into the argument out of nowhere— but he can't really counter it, because it is the truth. It hasn't even been that long since it happened, and he's certainly in no position to defend himself against it. Because while all of the other things that Scott might remember about him are things he himself hasn't done yet (and might not ever), that one he definitely can't deny.

His lips press to a thin line instead, shoulders drawn tensely. He hopes it doesn't lead to a fight, not with Scott or with Logan, but at this point, he doesn't know what to expect from either of them. It seems entirely plausible that Logan would come at him after hearing that— from the look on his face, it's evident that Charles hadn't told him about it. But obviously he thought it safe to tell Scott. Well.

He lets his hands fall as Scott walks away, holding Logan's stare with a heavy one of his own. He doesn't glance around but he can feel that people are staring, not that he's ever cared about having an audience, but there is some amount of relief that Logan simply leaves. This won't be the last they speak about it, he imagines— but at least he doesn't have to do it now, and he can retreat to a quiet corner of his own, and handle his own emotions in a way that doesn't translate into complete chaos. ]
