[It's somewhat of a big deal, William isn't even sure on how to deal with someone's foot pinning him like that. Had it been a hand he would have been inclined to bat it away. It doesn't stop him putting a hand around Mystique's ankle when he feels it nearing his throat, fingers circling not tightly, but enough that if she feels inclined to push harder, he'll try something. Like twisting, or something.....]

You can't drag me into talking about her. She's not boring, she's just not here. [There's a smile that isn't quite reaching his eyes. Like Hell is he going to drop Claire into this mess regardless of if they are or aren't getting along.] And more fun? I'm not falling for that.
