He thought maybe she'd vent to him, or tell him to leave her alone, or just change the subject.
This, he wasn't prepared for.
He squeezes his eyes shut. Saying yes to this is a terrible idea, and he knows it.
He knows that he'll have to put up with all of the x-wankers, and he knows that he'll have to deal with the fact that Pryde is emotional, and on the rebound, and that she'll either punch him in the throat or kiss him until he can't breath. He knows, too, that there's a very good chance that Rasputin will be around at some point, and that never goes well.
And on the other hand, when has he ever been able to say no her?
"Pryde, come on, don't - don't cry," he says. "It may take me a bit to work some things out, but I can get there. Probably be on a flight later tonight."
