Who: Kitty and all the people of fleet!
Broadcast: Yes!
Action: Windrose if you want
When: At some point before the masquerade

We have a masquerade coming up, and I was bored so I thought I'd mettle in people's lives for my own amusement. First, the disclaimer, there is nothing wrong with going to a dance solo.

Now, for anyone else, who wants a date?

Sorry, not me. Taken. But there are probably some of you out there thinking a date would be fun, and sure, why not? So speak up. Let's make some love connections. Or, you know, awkward dancing connections. I'm a mutant, not a miracle worker.

(OOC: Please feel free to threadjack.)

I'm sorry.

[Quickly.] For me! Not you or the dating. You just caught me by surprise. [She manages a smile.] Is it weird to say congratulations?

[She's still processing, but there is something about it that makes a certain kind of sense. The man had changed his entire world around for Charles Xavier back home. They'd been close enough that Xavier gave his life for him and then Erik had formed the team Charles wouldn't be there to start. He lived another man's dream for him and spoke of him with great reverence. She'd never suspected anything romantic between them, after all he had two children from one woman and another from Rogue. And maybe nothing romantic ever did happen between them at home, but clearly there was a profound connection.]

[It was automatic for him to be on the defensive, expecting some kind of fight. He does, at least, relax now that the initial reaction is out of the way. Despite getting to know Kitty in recent weeks, there's always an element of doubt. Trust is a long way off, for a man like him.

His expression loses some of its hawk-like intensity, and he shakes his head a bit.]

A little, but mostly people don't congratulate me for any reason. Much less my relationships.

[She settles into a more comfortable smile.] Well, no time like the present to start?

[She tips her head a little.] Is it a secret? [She noticed the private filter going up after all.]

Not as such, but I'm not fond of my personal life going over the airwaves. I'm certain Charles feels the same way. [They tended not to address it unless directly asked. Kitty did, so he delivered.]

Oh, so broadcasting that you're taken might not go over well? [You know, the thing she just did. Of course she just meant she had a date for the dance, but the people who assumed it meant more aren't actually...wrong.]

Let's try not to spell it out, that's all.

No spelling. Never a strong suit of mine anyway. [Even if she is good at multiple languages.] Thanks for letting me in on it though.

No problem. [It isn't, really. Just still not something he's used to sharing.]

[She smiles.] I should probably put some actual thought into some of these matches. I'll see you at the party though.
