He knows Erik misses his telepathy, and Charles of course does too. He also knows Hank has worked on his medication since he first gave it to him, and that, sitting in the lab, is a modified form that will keep his seizures under control and allow him his mutant power. Unfortunately, it is the action that kills the telepathy that allows him the use of his legs. For one, he must lose the other, and his need to walk has always been stronger than his need to read the minds of others. Plus, there's just something about the drug he takes, something he can't explain but that he's desperate not to lose.
But Erik is right in his silence. Scott is missing, possibly in danger, and Charles alone has the power to bring this to an end. He's almost due another injection, can already feel the beginnings of the desperate hunger that the drug has awoken in him.
He must resist it.
"Alright," he forces himself to say. "Alright. I'll... I'll do it."
