::Xavier shook his head, which was confirmation in this case. He could hardly guarantee for how long he would be able to return to her dreams, and had no wish to excite her hopes.:: "No, it would not do at all."

Raven already knew that she would never see him again in the real world, outside of her dreams. He had a way of communicating to her here. But outside, his spirit simply resided where she did, nothing more. And at once, she was sorry that it would take so long for her to follow him into the dark, the Yin to her Yang. "Even if I do find someone else, Charles," Raven began softly. "You know you're the only one who will ever complete me, right?"

::Xavier was aware of that, but he would not allow that to come between her and finding purpose and happiness in life again.:: "I know, Raven, but that does not mean you cannot make a good life, a stable, pleasant life with another."

"I know," Raven said softly, looking down. Deep inside her heart, she knew that. Knew that she could find someone to build a life with, but had rebelled against the idea as long as she could. "Do you think that soul mates meet each other in the afterlife?"

::Considering Xavier's impression of the afterlife, he had no guarantee of that. Where he would end up, and where she would end up, if it was anywhere at all, were without concrete answers.:: "I honestly do not know, Raven."

"I hope with all my heart that we do," She said softly, her lip trembling. "Or that I will meet you again in another life."

::Xavier's fingers caressed her cheek gently. As always, these trips to her dreams were emotional for them both.:: "If it can happen, I hope that it does."

Tears began to fall, and Raven sniffed. "Because I refuse to believe that we can meet our mates and lose them so easily."

"The universe is mysterious, you know that," ::Xavier said. He reached into the pocket of his jacket and withdrew his handkerchief. In a familiar action, he reached out to dry her eyes.::

"It is," Raven said. When Charles wiped her eyes, she closed them, leaning into his gentle touch. "But you are my universe," She mumbled softly.

::Xavier was touched by the depth of her feelings, although he had known them alive. Yet, he could not let those feelings consume her, not this long after his death.:: "Let your universe expand."

Raven leaned into him, wrapping her arms around him once more. "I will, I promise," She whispered. "Despite that, you are my sun, and I'll never let your memory go out. Even if I find someone else."

::Xavier moved into her embrace, allowing her arms to envelope him once more. He knew the truth of her words and took comfort in them.: "I would not expect you to forget me, Raven. But leaving yourself open to find someone else is healthy and beneficial."

Raven nuzzled his neck, tightening her arms around him in their embrace. "I know," She said softly.

"You will find someone else to dance with," ::Xavier said, as way of encouragement, as well as the fact that he knew the dream would end soon, and he wanted to end this without tears.::
