Joy stood at the window and looked out through the crack in the curtain, ears perked to catch all the sounds of the place. Behind her on the bed Kurt slept, occasionally making small sounds in his sleep.

One ear went back as she thought of the day before, when she had met with him in a meadow intending to offer a friendly ear in his time of sadness. Instead she'd accidently inspired an avowal of love from the drunken man; one that she was under no delusions that he would even remember, much less uphold, when he woke. She looked too much like her mother's people for any Terran human, no matter how altered physically themselves, to see her as attractive. It was a fact and it didn't bother her.

Her thoughts turned then to her family, whom she hadn't seen since the World Outside Time had sent her away. Intent on the memories, she forgot about the one she was protecting and everything else around her.

She looked back, then took the mug from him and went to the sink to refill it with water. "Here. Drink this too, bitte."

"Danke," he almost didn't get the word out before he sat up and took it, drinking for a moment as his head cleared and he looked up at her.

"Liebe.... I am sorry, for my advances," he said softly, his tail tying into knots. "I... I am not usually so forward... und I meant no harm."

"I understand," she said kindly. "Vhen you're drunk anyvone can look attractive. Do you vant some more vater?"

"Nien!" Kurt looked up at her, shocked. "Zat vas not... I only meant...." He put his head in his hands and took a few deep breaths.

"I only meant zat... I feel I haff bullied you into somezing... und...." he stopped, looking up at her and touching her hand timidly. "I vould never vant to pressure von such as yourself... into anyzing."

She cocked her head puzzledly, putting her ears back slightly in a frown that only faintly showed on her forehead. "Vhat do you mean?"

Kurt shook his head slightly, then groaned.

"I haff lost mien first love, Ororo, to a man stronger than I. I lost my second, Mara, to a mean purer. Now... how I started vith you... it vould seem you should haff already smacked me und gone fore somebody better," he said softly, then looked up at her. "I... if you vould haff it... I vould like to make up our first meeting. In a... proper vay."

"I'm totally confused," she confessed, the crease disapearing into bewilderment as she reached toward the cross pendant her father had carved for her when she was small. "I'd never smack somevone. Und there is no better; the Starsinger creats all men equal."
