WOT

Kurt sighed as he gazed out the window. New home, new view. It wasn't that he disliked the castle, but a part of him missed his home world, even if the X Men and mutant haters were there all along.

But he wouldn't give this place up for anything, it meant so much to his Joy, and it was safe for her. All he wanted was a good home for her. His Joy.... He loved her so much when he saw her he could barely speak, but still, because his courage had failed him completely and the heartbreaks of Ororo and Mara had only just started to pass, he was afraid to do anything but take her on picnics, and sometimes made her a fancy dinner, if he could pursuade the kitchen staff to let him help.

He hated his gutlessness, but he didn't want to rush her, or himself. He wanted things with her to work out right.

"Kurt...." Joy looked up at him with those soft deep eyes and gently squeezed his foot with the winghand that was nearer to him. Then she looked at Charles. "I dinnae fight those veaker than mesel'. Tis one 'o th' first laws me vader 'n moeder taught me as a bairn."

Kurt looked away, troubled and upset, even as Charles sighed almost unnoticibly.

"Thank you," he said gently. "Now eat. You two look hungry."

Joy looked at the food and shook her head, seeing nothing that agreed with her. "I'm gut. Danke."

"Is there something else you would prefer?" the professor asked, seeing Kurt stare at his plate, fighting anger and grief and fear from taking over him.

"Yes. I was wondering where Kurt has been," he said, lopoking at the man. "We haven't seen him around here in a long, long time."

"Ve've ben stayin' at me family's keep." She reached over and took Kurt's hand, knowing that the information would do no one any good.
