Kurt Wagner´s return from Germany to the US is enough to prompt some reporters to try to scoop a story, however, the now grown-up mutant knows enough to how to avoid them, and even if he hasn't got such knowledge...his friends got his back.
Kitty Pryde tackles him in a warm hug, never mind the curious looks, the lustful gazes, and the disgust throw at them. Kurt is in his natural skin, his blue fur and for once in his life, Kurt has never been so comfortable as he is now.
"Welcome back, elf" Kitty whisper looking at his golden eyes.
Kurt smiles, showing his fangs, "Hey, I´m back" the line is full of mirth, joy, and fondness.
Every X-men who knows Kurt is in for a hug. Of course, some people study the scene and make jokes on TikTok about how the X-men are a cult. Logan seems to have caught word of this and groans in response to the stupid teens.
Said teens are running for their lives.
Rogue gave a handshake, she may be able to control her power better, however, she is not willing to risk again.
"Now you´re here...we can truly celebrate the life day" Rogue celebrated, in her gothic style, chuckling as Kurt is visibly puzzled. No one is explaining what the life day is.
Kitty giggles at his face. "Come on, elf, let´s go home..."
Kurt arrives at the mansion, pleased to see the mansion is still on the same way as before-sure, it was blow up before, but the rebuilt was faithful to the original- but his golden eyes notice the flowery ornaments and the candles.
Raising his eyebrow Kurt to direct his attention to Kitty. "Jean and Scott are knotting the ties?" to further his point he wiggles his eyebrow.
Kitty rolls her eyes in good mood and shakes her head. "No, she´s still is too young to marry, but fret not, they´re still together and in love...obnoxious in love as ever"
The others are helping to move some flowery ornament to the outside of the mansion´s backyard.
The new students are chatting happily about the song of Happy Life day. Kurt is curious.
"Katzchen?" Kurt asked. "What is this life day?"
"It's our holiday," Kitty explains taking him outside. "A Zaorvian holiday, to celebrate life and how we survive"
Kurt is scratching his head and looking around as if expecting to get a clue of what she´s saying. Nothing helped, so Kurt admits defeat. "What?"
Kitty sighs. "Remember when Jean died and resurrected?" Kurt and Kitty have their religion tested on this little fact, of course, they were happy to see Jean Grey back again, but she literally resurrection by fire is not something one can ignore so easily.
"We can´t ignore such thing, but no one could find a proper way to celebrate, you know? Jean is Protestant, Scott is atheist, I´m Jewish, Ororo has some issues with her faith now...and Prof X dated an alien, therefore we went to the old traditions,"
"Ok, I can see that, but a Zaorvian tradition isn´t a but problematic?" Kurt asked blushing. Kitty is the one not following his words. "I mean. Zaorva, according to the myths is a fertility Godness..."
Kitty blushes a little seeing the picture. "Oh no, Zaorva well, yes, does like fertility in this regard, but she´s also the Outer God of life, she is not a religion, per se, it´s more a tradition of the old times and it doesn´t affect any religion, hence why everyone jump on this wagon"
Kurt nods and sees Jean at the center of the celebration picking some flowers without using her powers.
"So no orgies?"
"No, Kurt, no orgies"
Then it hits Kurt. "Wait, Jean´s resurrection was 6 months ago, why do this celebration now?"
"Because you´re not here...how can we celebrate life day without you, elf?"
Kurt´s blush in his purple way. Kurt is back home.
