Kit Killovarras	Within the hour, authorities are in the area and within the hour? The Yeen is nowhere to be seen. He would have helped evacuate those who needed it and would have slunk off before the arrival of the military for obvious reasons. Now? Now he can be found several miles off, in the middle of nowhere sitting on a large stone. He's since stripped down to pretty much just his boxers, having pulled off the armored cyclists gear and even the bandages that wrapped him. There are hundreds of wounds on him and dozens that look rather serious, but he's still visibly breathing. He's simply sat there on the stone, looking as if he's in a moment of meditation as the same violet energy from earlier crackles across his wounds. He was able to heal the others quickly but for some reason? His own healing is slow and arduous. His wounds don't knit back together with the same speed as the peoples from town, but why?
Koriand'r	Koriand'r had returned from her standoff with Doom's bots only to find the yeen missing. With things underway by the authorities and then the military, Kory was distracted for a while with giving her reports and coordinating remotely with the Titans and the League in the cleanup and evacuation efforts. Eventually however, she begins to search for the healer. Questions to a few remaining stragglers and a wide aerial search pattern yields results as her keen eyesight notices Kit from far above. She swoops in slowly, vertically dropping the last hundred feet, not wanting to disturb what appears as his meditation. She looks at his many wounds with concern, admiring his selflessness and bravery in taking on the townfolk's harm. She thinks he can probably detect her presence, if he has a hyena's proportionate senses. But she lets him acknowledge her before interrupting. She will again be giving him that slightly forlorn smile, so proud of him but saddened for his pain.
Kit Killovarras	When Starfire lands, the yeens ears perk up and forward slightly, his nose twitching for a moment before his eyes open ever so slightly and he glances to her. He offers a little smile, despite the pain he's in and muses, "Well well, you found me." with a little chuckle, then lets his eyes close again as he adds. "At least now I can get your name?" The energy that crackles over his wounds is something else, something strange, almost like it doesn't belong to this world and anyone sensitive to the flow of it might be able to feel that. But for those who aren't, it would look like the energy is literally radiating from his wounded body. He doesn't share the wounds he healed, no broken bones nor life-threatening wounds, even if some of them look terrible.
Koriand'r	Starfire's blazing hair returned to her normal fiery red when she landed, the actual fire winking out with not even scorched tips remaining, nothing but a glorious perfect mane down to her thighs. She giggles at his first comment directly to her since he hailed her for help during the catastrophe in town. "It wasn't hard, you weren't exactly hiding. My name is Koriand'r. It's Tamaran, my homeworld's language. It translates to Starfire so that's what I go by as well. You may call me Kory or Star. If you have no objection to being friends? And what's your name, friend healer?" She has no particularly esoteric senses, just very good normal ones, so she does not feel the otherworldly nature of his energy. However it does remind her of her own power. She lets her green radioctive heat energy swirl around her like an aura "Are you like me? Were you experimented on to get your abilities?" Starfire has very little inhibitions; she says what she means and asks what she wants to know.
Kit Killovarras	Kit gives a little nod at her name and chuckles quietly as he muses, "All three are beautiful names." with a slight tilt of his head, then offers, "I am Kit Killovarras, son of Ahmed and Akila from the bloodline of Kirahli and I'm always fond of meeting new friends." in return. When she asks about his abilities and their origin, he shakes his head ever so slightly and explains, "I am a Magi, I was born with the magic you've seen me use and have spent the majority of my life so far honing it." with a little chuckle, his tail swishing ever so slightly across the stone behind him. "So no, I wasn't experimented on. Though I'm sure there are quite a few government agencies who would love to, given the chance."
Koriand'r	Koriand'r smiles at his introduction and nods her head at him "Technically I'm Princess Koriand'r of Tamaran... but my homeworld was invaded and... my people destroyed or subjugated." She looks understandably upset about that fact. "So I am in exile and not really a princess of anything anymore. I have made Earth my home for now." She looks interested when he tells her about being a mage. And then an idea comes to her. A wild hopeful idea. Unsure if it is possible, she voices it "You have... mastered your magic? Tell me, could you... reverse the process that let you heal the victims today? Only... transfer the harm from you to me instead?" She explains further "I regenerate. Very very quickly. I would take that pain from you if I could, if it is possible... I do not know how your magic works, I am sorry. My own energy is radioactivity, heat, light, and life. I soak it up from the sun or from other energy sources. So I could... likely drain your energy away? With practice anyway. But I could not heal your body, my power only heals me."
Kit Killovarras	Theres a nod of understanding from the yeen at Kory's story about her home and her people and his ears fold to the sides ever so slightly at the thought, but he gives a little smile regardless and muses, "Even in exile, a princess is still a princess." When she asks whether he can 'transfer the harm' to her though? He just shakes his head and explains, "I've far from mastered in my craft sadly.. I've only spent the majority of seventeen years on it, some magi spend thousands of years training and still never fully master control over their magic and besides.." He gives a little shrug, taking a moment to breathe before explaining, "My power isn't to transfer harm to myself. I can do many things with it, including heal the wounded, but in the process the energy required is funneled through my body like a lens.. The longer I sustain it's use, the more damage it does to my physical body."
Koriand'r	Koriand'r blushes lightly, pleased when he acknowledges her as a princess. She never holds that status over anyone. "I was also a slavegirl. My cursed sister betrayed me, betrayed all of us and sold me to our enemies who experimented on me to see what powers they could give me. Along with... other indignities." She shudders. "They regretted it, trust me. I'm not sure why I'm telling you all this. You just feel very trustworthy, Kit. It is lovely to meet you officially by the way." Starfire is saddened by his explanation. She had hoped... "I see. That is the cost of your magic. I have been briefed on magic users by Batman, and I gather there is always a cost involved, paid differently mage to mage? I am sorry that I cannot help. I see you are not without your own level of regeneration, but my own is quite ridiculously fast. Not quite as fast as Wolverine, if you've heard of him, but nearly." And then a friendly smile "I hope you are back to full health soon. And seventeen years of study sounds impressive enough to me. Don't minimize your accomplishments, especially what you did here today. It was very brave."
Kit Killovarras	"It wasn't bravery," Kit says with a little shake of his head, "I simply did what anyone with the ability to help should have done. For me, it's instinct. I can't stand the sight of people suffering, so I do what I can to better the lives of those in need, whether they hate me for it or not." Another little shrug, though even the vague description of what was done to Kory actually makes him wince a little. "It's terrifying to know that ones own family could do something like that to them..." Finally, he stands up slowly as the wounds on his legs finally finish healing, the energy crackling away and dying out as his body visibly relaxes. He still has wounds, but the majority of the worst ones are healed. "And yes, that's the cost of my magic. Simple things like telekinesis are easy to do without a risk, but healing things like broken bones or having to fight for any extended duration usually does a number on me." When Wolverine's name is mentioned, his ears perk again and he even laughs, giving a slight nod and a slightly toothy little grin. "Yeah, I've met Wolverine." he says, tilting his head a little as he adds, "In fact, I think I have a meeting scheduled with him at some point next week.. The guy's intimidating, but he's a sweet guy at heart."
Koriand'r	Koriand'r very gently disagrees "Bravery never feels like bravery from the inside. It's not a feeling we feel, it's action when there's need. It's doing what's right no matter what it costs us. Because to us, there are no alternatives. You *were* brave. You *are* a hero. I am very proud of you for what you did. And I admire your humility about it." She nods to his statement about family "Don't ask me to explain her motivations. She's crazy and a traitor, as far as I'm concerned. Her name is Kormand'r, or Blackfire. If you see or hear word of her... hide. She has most of my powers. And she's a rotten spiteful bitch." His description of Wolverine as a sweet guy makes her giggle. "May I please let him know you said that? Pretty please?"
Kit Killovarras	Kit nods a little as he grabs his pants and pulls them on. "Most people who would do that to anyone is rotten.. One who would do it to their own family? My guess is that all she cared about was power.." There's a little sigh before he gives Kory a glance and a tilt of his head in response to her calling him a 'hero'. "Well, I've been called a lot of things.. Freak, half-breed, monster.. But never really been called a hero before." Then she asks about relaying that comment of his about Wolverine to him and he just laughs and nods. "Go for it. Dude might seem scary, but he's a hell of a nice guy to the people he cares about."
Koriand'r	Koriand'r giggles even more when she gets permission to relay the words to Wolverine. "I just want to see his glower when I tell him, it will be epic! I could write a poem to that man's glowers." Kory stands up and stretches, first one arm and then the other, back and up behind her in a way that demonstrates she has a range of flexibility quite beyond human possibility. "You deserve the title Kit. And you certainly don't deserve those other labels. I am glad you're healing so well. This is the part where I would normally ask if you want to have sex with me, but I suspect you may not be in the mood with all those remaining injuries? Or interested?" Koriand'r is an incredibly beautiful woman but she doesn't know if the yeen is even attracted to her species. But his actions and his personality are definitely attractive to her, she doesn't have the same species hangups as most earthlings, and never let it be said that she didn't go after what she wanted and damn the consequences.
Kit Killovarras	The yeen gives a little nod and a laugh as he muses, "Oh trust me, I know his glowering can be pretty epic." with a laugh, then gives a shrug as he admits, "Honestly? It's not a title I want.. To me it doesn't feel right, being held up in such a way for simply doing what's right." Then, there's that offer and the yeens left ear perks a little while his right one slumps to the side. It's only for a moment that the aardwolf looks uncomfortable, but then he just shakes his head and smiles. "If I were older and actually interested in women? I might take you up on the offer." he admits with a little shrug, "But due to that, the fact that my boyfriend would probably be pissed at me if I did and the fact that... I'm PRETTY sure it would be illegal in this country, since I'm still a minor by legal standards." Kit is remarkably beautiful in his own ways with fur like silk and the slender body of an Olympic sprinter, though his inhuman appearance typically lends itself to him being feared by most. "The offer is appreciated, but I'll have to decline."
Koriand'r	Koriand'r smirks at him "In this country, perhaps, although I'm not sure if the laws were written to include alien princesses and... hyena men? I'm sorry I didn't ask what your species is? But in any case, there are countries where it would not be illegal. And I don't particularly see what business a government has in telling me who I may be with. Nor for that matter do I see why your boyfriend should have a say in who you are with, though I understand that most do. To me that is absurd. I am free to do what I want when I want with who I want. However, if you are not interested, you are not interested. No harm, no foul. If you should ever change your mind, I live at the Titans Tower." And it truly is water under the bridge for her. For Kory sex is as natural as breathing and as emotionally charged as swimming, just something you do for fun, no attachments needed or wanted. And she is equally attracted to either gender. So, though she does find his appearance not unappealing and thus why she was willing to offer, she is unhurt by his refusal, and happy to remain his friend.
Kit Killovarras	"Species is a hard one to explain.." he says as he sits back down on the stone, that same violet energy slowly starting to crackle over his smaller wounds once more. Apparently he needs to take breaks in the process. "I'm technically human, just.. Well, mutated. As for the government, I can't explain that one honestly, but when it comes to my boyfriend?" He gives Kory a glance and a tilt of his head once more, studying her for a moment before he explains, "It's a human thing.. For most people of this planet, sex is something meant to be shared only with those who you've sworn your life to. A lot of humans see the act as something incredibly intimate." "And as for my mate having any say in it? He doesn't, but he likely -would- be upset by it, so I choose to be faithful to him and only him." Leave it to a romantic to explain sex the way the aardwolf is, but then again? Sheltered teenagers often tend to be either remarkably horny, or remarkably demure on this particular subject and the yeen has always been more of a romantic.
Koriand'r	Koriand'r watches the magical energy play over Kit's skin and she halfway charges up a Starbolt, partly formed green energy swirling around her hand. She concentrates and makes it move and crackle in a like manner to his magic, but it does not change color to the violet hue. She gives off a snort at his first explanation "Of course it is intimate. Do you think I would not feel close to you in such a circumstance? By why does that mean it must be binding? Ah, humans, you just don't see things the way Tamaraneans do. Sometimes I think I shall never fit in." A pause. "Then I get over it" Kory shakes her head "I do not begrudge you that choice, but faithfulness in the way you describe it would be a rope around my neck... no, like slave chains. I will *never* be a slave again! I will be free!" She then blushes at her own outburst. It seems the alien princess has some traumatic hangups of her own. "I am faithful to my paramour by remaining myself, by giving them my love, and by being Koriand'r for them. Not by choking off who I am to protect their jealousy. No offense to your boyfriend or anyone else's significant other. That is simply how I see the world."
Kit Killovarras	The outburst gets a little laugh and a warm smile. "Understandable and some humans are of the same mind as you, but not all of us." he says with a nod. "In my case, the bond is one I share by choice. Him and I haven't talked about that particular subject yet, but for me? The idea of hurting him in any way is unthinkable." As he's saying all of this, the aardwolf reaches for his coat and pulls out his phone, rifling through a few images before finding one in particular and showing it to Kory: The image of another person very much like him, though feline in appearance, sitting side by side with him on the deck of what looks like a yacht. "I don't begrudge those who share themselves so freely, but it's simply not how I see the world." he says with a rather cheerful tone. "To me? The bond I share with him isn't a rope around my neck, or chains meant to hold me back. In the time we've been together, he's helped me to become a better person and has been there for me whenever I needed him. Being faithful and offering the same in kind is how I repay that kindness and how I show him that I love him." Talking about the feline seems to have increased the yeens mood quite a bit and though his face might not show it, the fact that his tail is wagging a mile a minute would. Damn thing always betrays him!
Koriand'r	Koriand'r laughs at herself and her outburst once she sees his gentle humor at it. "You love him, and that is special. I have one that I am *in* love with, and think I could grow to love with the depth of feeling you do... but not to be restricted in who I sleep with... and I would never restrict her that way." She shrugs "It sounds like we each have our own ways that work for us." She looks with interest at the picture of his boyfriend "well isn't he a handsome one? You both are. Quite a couple. I wouldn't object to a threeway." She says that last with a teasing grin, knowing now that neither of them would be into that even if they were inclined towards female partners. Finishing stretching her back, she takes flight, hovering a foot off the ground. "I am glad to have met you Kit. Come by the Titan's Tower sometime. Not for sex, just for dinner and hanging out. Bring your boyfriend if he's up for it. I'll give you both the tour. Now I hear some mustard calling me, so I must be off. Superheroineing is hungry work!" She exchanges phone numbers with him before she leaves, and explains that normal calls will be routed to her unobtrusive Titans earpiece during non-emergencies. Her costume leaves no room for hiding a phone, after all.
