They had been at the cafe for over an hour and Magneto still couldn't believe he had managed to convince his daughters to join him for brunch. He had considered inviting Pietro, but he simply didn't have the patient to deal with his mocking his baldness today. Now that he thought about it, it seemed strange that neither Wanda nor Lorna had said anything about it; in fact, he didn't think they had glanced at it even once, but he did notice them exchanging frequent looks. That was odd, as they had never seemed that close. But he was curious.
"Well, then. What did you think of my new look?"
The question was met by wide eyes and lost looks. Wanda was the first to recover. "You look - you certainly seem... It's different."
"Exactly. Different." Lorna agreed.
Erik might not be that good a father, but he knew his daughters enough to see when they were hiding something. "Pietro had already mentioned this to you, had he not?"
Wanda gave him a half-smile. "He might have brought it up." He quirked an eyebrow. Wanda sighed. "Fine! He couldn't stop babbling about it for hours, to the point when he convinced us you were senile. And we, erm, decided we should check it out, make sure you weren't, uh, losing your mind again."
"You only accepted my invitation because you thought insanity was the only explanation for my shaving my head?" Their father asked sternly. In truth, he was surprised and touched that they cared enough to check on his health for such a silly reason. He had tortured them enough, so he let the subject drop and asked a different question. "Now that you are here, and do you think of it, then?"
Silence. Wanda seemed to find her cup of tea fascinating, so it was Lorna who answered this time. "Well, it's... you're always wearing a helmet or a hat, right?" Magneto scowled. "I'm sorry! But you just don't look good like that; everyone thinks so, even if they don't say anything. I doubt you could find any woman to have sex with since you shaved it."
Wanda made a disgusted noise, and face, at that. "Ew, Lorna, that's revolting! You can't say that!"
"Oh, please, don't play the saint, Wanda; you probably had more sexual partners than both of us combined" Lorna scoffed.
"That's not the point he's our father, we shouldn't be discussing his sex life! It's enough that I'm living under the same roof as two of his exes and -" They continued the discussion, but at the point Magneto was the one too nauseated at the thought of his girls having a sex life to pay any further attention to what they were saying.
