oh my god yes. they totally would. and irene would try to gently bring the conversation around and then not so gently bring it around and then say, "gentlemen. you can discuss this in your office—or even in your apartment—but we're going to be moving on now." and when charles opens his mouth to say something, because he's totally the type of guy who would keep talking after the professor says no, she says, "really, charles. even though you're my advisee." and then charles finally looks abashed.
two reasons for it, neither of which is particularly good. the first is that it just didn't seem to come up. maybe he'd have introduced erik at the first mixer, but erik is really antisocial there and doesn't meet anyone that i can remember.
the second, from my pov at least, is that i didn't want them to really reconnect until charles' birthday, as i've plotted a lot of that around them reconnecting. because i am selfish and horrible. not a great reason, admittedly.
i don't know, i'm happy to rewrite as needed. i mean, if you think we should ax the entire scene with the "argument," which really isn't working at all, and instead have him introduce erik to moira at the second mixer with a comment about how it's crazy that they've never been in the same place at the same time, i'm okay with that. i just don't think that either of them would be comfortable having moira drop by either the office or the apartment yet, and those are the only places i can see it happening.
