Cast of Characters: Nightcrawler, Wolfsbane




Nightcrawler has posed:
Appearing just outside of a small quaint cabin in the Breakstone area, up a small drive isolating it from others, Kurt has his hands over Rahne's eyes - and likely had spent several minutes convincing her to let him show her the surprise.

"Right... We're here. Are you dizzy? Do you need time to recover? I know it was a couple of ports from Mutant town?" the smell of pine and hardwood filling the air as the breeze blows away the brimstone.

Wolfsbane has posed:
Wolfsbane is, admittedly, a little unsteady on her feet from the teleports. She's been better at handling them, but they still disorient at first. A hand rests against his shoulder for stability, bare feet against the path they walk.

'A surprise, Kurt? I dinna need any big surprises. Just tell me. Nae? Are ye sure? I mean, I suppose it couldna hurt. Where are we going?'

All of that and a little more was asked before agreeing, and with his blue hands over her eyes she has other senses that sharpen as if by default to compensate. Nose. Ears. "I'm still a wee bit shaky, but this feels familiar.." she tells him.

Nightcrawler has posed:
Nodding happily, Kurt leans in close, practically cheek to cheek when he draws his hand back to show her the little cabin tucked into the woods, in the familiar scents of Breakstone.

"Everyone needs big surprises, Rahne. Especially you." turning to kiss her on the cheek before he draws back to let her take in the sights. Tail swishing around and scooping up a bunch of autumn leaves to sprinkle up into the air over her.

Wolfsbane has posed:
At first, confusion as the wolfen's eyes adjust to what she sees before her. "Whit is this, Kurt? Where are we?" Yes, there are some scents she knows, and she may well have been by this very cabin before, but she isn't making the connection immediately.

She blinks as a half-step is taken toward the small building, only to pause at the lips to her cheek that prompts a little smile to form, then she's instinctively ducking the leaves that threaten to get caught in hair or fur. "Kurt!!"

Nightcrawler has posed:
Laughing, Kurt lets the rest of the leaves fall if a loamy smelling downpour. "I said I would help. Now you can come home, but have the distance you want Rahne. I'm just around the corner, if you can get me to stop staying over here." attempting to wrap her up in a squeeze.

"A place of your own though, closer to the people who care about you, and where you can be Rahne. Not the wolf, not the woman. Not separate." resting his chin on her shoulder if she hasn't already beaten the crud out of him for the impetus of LEAVES!

Wolfsbane has posed:
Wolfsbane covers up, arms going over her head. Again she blurts his name, then she gives him a shove. It seems like a playful moment, because she's at least smiling and...was that a laugh? A single laugh? "I dinna know whit tae say! Ye had all o' this done? How long did it take?"

She's full of sudden questions, though the concept behind being amid the rest of the X-Family while having a place to remain separate for her own well-being is..an interesting one. "I knew Mister Logan had his own cabin..I've been by it before."

Nightcrawler has posed:
Absolutely beaming at the playfulness coming out, Kurt laughs as well and motions for her to follow him up to the front door, commenting - "I can be romantic und carry you over the threshold too if you want." winking with his smile all teeth. "I started finding whomever I could to get things put together after... well when I asked you to come home... I thought I'd give a little push... and I wanted to see you happy again."

He hovers nearby, reaching for one of her hands while his eyes search hers, after flipping his hair out of them.

Wolfsbane has posed:
Wolfsbane admits, "I've no' been truly happy in a verra long time, but I feel more like I can be around ye." And they've had happy moments, but it hasn't been hard for him to see how depressed she can get otherwise. She's struggled to find her way, tried to change things up to see if it'd help, but events had led to nothing getting much better.

Now, it may be a chance to reset, to restart. "I can walk fine on muh own, ye silly elf," she states, no hostility at all in the retort. "But it means a lot tae me tha' ye'd do something like this." The hand finds hers, is squeezed back briefly, and she uses her other to swipe a few leaves away.

Nightcrawler has posed:
"I know you can walk fine, but I still like carrying you around." he leans towards her to steal a kiss at the corner of her mouth before nuzzling his nose against her. "All you ever need from me to ask and I'll be where you need me Rahne. I mean that." giving one more bump with his nose before the door is opened with his tail and he's ushering her in with a grin.

"I hope you don't mind I put a couple of touches of my own in... but I thought I'd make the decor something you'd be comfortable in."

Wolfsbane has posed:
"Next time, we--mmph," Wolfsbane answers as the kiss ends up getting a little more mouth than perhaps planned, as she turns into it just so. Or /was/ the sneaky elf hoping for that? Eyes impulsively shut for that moment or two, noses touching before she pulls back to add, "Sometimes I feel like ye're better tae me than I deserve, but I'm trying no' tae dwell on thoughts like tha'."

The history of how she came to be here is no secret. She grew up with an abusive priest for a father figure...who turned out to /be/ her father.

She goes on as she begins to look around, "Whit sort o' touches?" This is where she begins to see them, and initially her eyes simply widen at some of the detail put into it all.

Nightcrawler has posed:
"Just a couple of pictures, there rest I tried to make all for you, Rahne." It may have been a true accident when she ended up kissing him, judging by the twitterpated look he gives for a moment after.

He lets her look about, quiet while she looks around. Excited he can't seem to keep his hands off, and as she walks his hands find their way to her hips and his tail about one leg as they move through. "I tried to keep it... mixed. One person, the woman and the wolf. Woman who is also a wolf."

Wolfsbane has posed:
"..it's verra sweet, Kurt. I like it," Wolfsbane tells him, a couple fingers briefly touching her lips afterward. She's still taking everything in, from the choice in paintings, to the rugs and colors they represent, the pelts, the furniture in the main area next to the kitchen that looks like it's got all she needs to cover the basics.

"I mean, ye really put some thought intae this," she realizes, body language shifting her closer toward him from the touch of hands and tail, which she glances down at for a moment. "I never really asked, but do ye like me this way more than th' other?" She can, of course, shift further in either direction from the midform, but it's obvious what she means.

Nightcrawler has posed:
When she moves closer, Kurt smiles gently, "I care about you Rahne..." arms slipping around her to give a solid yet gentle hug from behind, pressing his cheek against hers a moment. "I put a lot of thought towards you, and when I say I care about you... I mean all of you. Not one part of you."

He keeps his chin rested on her shoulder and his arms stay about her for a few moments longer unless she shrugs away from him. "So you be as you want to be, what makes you feel most comfortable."

Wolfsbane has posed:
Wolfsbane smiles back at the embrace, leaning enough into it to be felt. "Good, because..th' more I know, th' more I'm sure this is th' way I feel th' most comfortable, wi' both sides. An' I've never been wi' someone tae this length, but I thought ye'd understand since we're both..different." She can choose to look normal. He can't without the use of an image inducer. It ought to say something that her choice is what it is.

"I see another room in th' back?" she asks. "Bedroom?" The body begins to lean in that direction now.

Nightcrawler has posed:
"Of course, I wouldn't have you sleeping on a couch... Full bathroom too." moving with her, releasing her from the hug but walking with his hand lightly on the small of her back.

"Nothing too extravagent, as I figured you'd not want to be lavish, but comfort is always nice." leading her in to take a glance around at her leisure. "I don't think you're different, Rahne, I think you're perfect."

Wolfsbane has posed:
Wolfsbane moves ahead with his gentle urging, a good look had at the large bed, the pile of fur blankets, pillows, and the rest. She eyes the way to the bathroom along with the other details of the room itself, and she glances back his way. "An' all this is for me if I come back an' stay here?" she asks, to reconfirm, to make certain. "I'm no' sure whit tae say yet, Kurt. I didna expect this." She's probably blushing beneath the fuzz over ears and cheeks.

Nightcrawler has posed:
Moving close, taking her hands as he steps before her, kissing her fingers. "Say you'll come back, and say you'll want me to stay with you every now and then, or all the time, or whatever you wish." Kurt takes another step, closer, attempting to link her hands behind his head.

"I wanted you to be comfortable. I didn't know how else I could say what I feel, so I did all I could to make this place where you could make a home for yourself." leaning to bump his nose to hers.

"Rahne, I've missed you so much... even if I can just... get there in few hops. While you were in the city you were so sad, and nothing made you happy. So I'm going to try and find ways to make you happy."

Wolfsbane has posed:
There is an awkward look in Wolfsbane's expression from the kissing of fingers. Such a gentlemanly thing to do, and she still probably doesn't feel she deserves that sort of treatment from Kurt or anyone else. Just thinking it, at least, is better than voicing it, and she returns a short smile at the gesture.

"I thought moving tae Mutant Town would be good for me, tae feel like I was making more o' a difference in th' lives o' th' people there. Instead..I dinna think I'd say it was th' wrong choice, but it never went how I hoped it would. I couldna do verra much alone, an' there was always so much trouble around," she says, letting her thoughts run free on the whole thing. They already covered the problems at Club Evolution with the gangs and the drugs, plus the Sentinels, and her growing more isolated and withdrawn. Now, there's something in her eyes again: a little spark of this or that. Maybe hope. Maybe optimism.

She adds, "I just want tae be happy, an' I want ye tae be happy as well, no' doon because ye thought ye failed wi' me. I want ye around."

Nightcrawler has posed:
Kurt nods and slips his arms about her waist. "Well then you'll stay a night at least to try it out?" He caught she didn't answer him, and there's tension in him for it.

"Stay several nights, and we can plan a trip. We can go to the UK, to... to... we can go to Germany. Look around, enjoy the quiet some of those places offer." his brows pop up, "I'll take you to Paris!" booping his nose on hers, "We could be people... Just... people. If we see someone doing something wrong, we right it, we bind em and drop em with the police, and then we just continue on our way..." he leans in suddenly to press a kiss to her lips, "Stay here with me, and then travel with me? Fresh start."

Wolfsbane has posed:
There are long, silent moments from Wolfsbane as she stands there with him, looking over the room, leaving her to think about it, the cabin, Mutant Town, herself, him, Xavier's in general, The Dream, the dangers, the past, the present, the future. So much of it unknown, except for one thing:

It's dangerous to go alone. Leave it to a video game to say it best.

Finally, "All right. I'll stay th' night, or th' week, an' we'll..we'll go places, an' do things. An' have a fresh start." A hidden tension of her own is felt to release in her shoulders, much of her body, from the kiss, which she returns more openly than usual.

Nightcrawler has posed:
There's a sigh in him when he feels the tension running out of her, and she responds to him. Stress falls away and he even leans in, turning to cradle her neck and the other hand is at the small of her back.

He leans her into a low dip, breaking the kiss once she's so low she could simply extend her arm to touch the ground - his tail keeping him balanced while he holds her. "Good. A week will give time to get travel arrangements set up, und we can snuggle again... und I'll make breakfast. You still like toad in das hole? Or don't they call it Eggy in a Basket in the UK?" rubbing his nose against hers.

Wolfsbane has posed:
Wolfsbane actually has to reach out to brace herself a bit, surprise in her eyes. This is what they do on the covers of some of those steamy storybooks. "Ahh..I dinna think they call it either o' those, Kurt..but aye, we can go. Just, stay th' night tonight, please?" It could be the beginning of a good change for the two.
