Selene didn't know what to say at first. His responses when they spoke about love weren't what she had in mind. She started questioning if Xavier had feelings for her but knew it couldn't be that.

Selene became suspicious. "That did nothing to me if you were testing me. You do not want to be bothered by love."

"I didn't know you had the talent to get in someone's head to tell me what I am thinking. It will come in handy," said Xavier, having a few people in mind to use it on. 

"I do not have that talent. Why would you want to be bothered by something as trivial as love? How are you a man who would want to fall in love when you were so close to being put in a long slumber?" Selene asked, having a hard time believing he wanted love.

"Isn't love unpredictable? I cannot control if I suddenly feel it one day. Shouldn't I come to love my wife or do you want me to hate you?" Xavier asked.
