#lorna and the rest of eriks kids could participate too i just think david needs undivided fatherly attention

[pacing-er]

Erik and David are both Jewish (culturally at least) I need more canon interactions between them!! They have a common connection that isn't shared by Charles so it would be a good opportunity to have one on one time. They can bond over Shabbat dinner while talking about their complicated relationship with family 🥺 I don't see Erik as a practicing Jew but David could encourage him to engage with the religion more, and Erik is shown to care about and trust David despite Charles open distrust of him. I think that if they had gotten a chance to be around each other more Erik could have become a fatherly figure to him (tho let's be honest he's basically already David's step dad) and that practicing Jewish traditions together could be a healing experience for both.

I know David tried to kill Erik in Legion Quest but he was much younger then and thought that Erik was the reason why his mom and dad broke up XD There's a lot to unpack there and I think the more stable version of David we see in the Krakoa era would understand Charles and Erik's relationship better. Plus Erik is shown to be more emotionally available to his kids than Charles is and David needs that kind of parental relationship in his life.
