[Wait, no, Kurt has to take a minute to laugh softly. That was--he's torn between calling the combination of pun and the theatrics of floating down to him hilarious or cute. That he's even thought the latter is a good argument for cutting himself off for the night.]

Has anyone accused you of having a flair for the dramatic? [He asks while taking the offered hands. Though Apollo is right; without the shoes, Darkholme's much more confident on his feet.]

[neversets]

Yes, frequently. Usually my ex, though most of my team and my daughter have said it as well.

I can't help it. I love flying and I glow when I use my powers. Flair for the dramatic seems to be built in.

[ecclesiophobic]

I can't imagine why they would say such a thing. [Is that sarcasm thick enough to cut with a knife, yet?

He tilts his head briefly, thoughtful.] Given what you've said before, if you're being literal I can understand why they would. Making your enemies afraid of you is a good advantage to have.

[neversets]

Yeah, I'm being literal. I think it's built in. I have all kinds of interesting chops and slices in my brain. It's probably built in to be dramatic and frightening.

[ecclesiophobic]

[Kurt raises an eyebrow, not that the expression is easily visible behind his mask.]

Well, they managed a sense of drama. I wouldn't call you frightening, exactly.

[neversets]

I'm not frightening!

[He laughs as he says it. He believes it.

He's never seen himself in a righteous fury.]

I'm about as menacing as puppies and dandelions.
