     It might be considered poor parenting, but the people who would complain had not spent the past month with a colicky infant, a toddler that had gained the ability to bamf early, and a jealous older child who thought there were too many little brothers and sisters leading to malicious pinches and shoves. Kurt was exhausted, and worse his wife was exhausted.

"Wanda told me you had helped her with...' he paused, fighting a yawn. "Sorry, sorry, what I mean to ask is would you be willing to babysit?'

     The ammunition was ready, a photo album full of pictures. He would kill for a solid six hours of sleep. Wanda hadn't asked for help with her children, just to help detangle the emotional stress that had sent her powers short circuiting, but surely with Mantis' abilities she'd be good with children. That and his usual victi- options weren't available.

"You like animals, ja?' A toothy grin, tail flicking as he shrugged his shoulders. "They can be a bit like the koalas of Australia, climbing walls and dropping onto you. But they are very fuzzy and cuddly most of the time, I promise.'

@starboipersona sent a raven: What that tail do? ~ Kurt Wagner

       The  grin  is  all  teeth,  perched  on  the  shoulders  of  a  gargoyle  as  the  aforementioned  tail  wrapped  around  the  gargoyle's  throat.  A  fair  question,  though  Kurt  wasn't  sure  this  was  quite  the  time  to  go  into  explicit  detail.  Perhaps  later,  eyeing  the  other  man  before  turning  his  attention  back  to  their  mission. 

"Perhaps  later,  my  charming  friend.' 

       It  wouldn't  even  take  all  that  much  persuading  for  a  small  demonstration.  Better  to  start  there  than  the  other  unique  trait.

@rcliicta sent a raven: ❛ that is not an appropriate question to ask a lady you’ve just met. ❜ - marion to kurt

       That  was  fair,  lips  curling  into  a  bright  and  sharp  smile  in  an  attempt  to  charm  an  apology  into  existence  as  he  mentally  backtracked.  It  had  been  his  own  fault  for  letting  his  mouth  run  before  his  brain  had  caught  up  with  the  teleported  rest  of  his  body.  He'd  just  wanted  to  confirm  where  she'd  come  from,  as  it  was  obvious  she  was  from  one  of  those  portals  that  Strange  had  burdened  everyone  else  with. 

       Sloppy  magic.

“I  apologize,  Fräulein.'  A  bow  over  extended  leg,  tail  swishing  back  and  forth  lightly  behind  him.  ”I  meant  no  harm  by  it.  We  have  found  ourselves  hosts  to  many  unknowns,  it  has  been  a  very  long  game  of  getting  to  know  our  new,  hopeful,  friends.'

       Some  of  them  had  definitely  not  been  friendly.  Kurt  was  still  upset  that  he'd  gone  through  three  uniforms  and  a  beloved  shirt  in  his  quest  to  help  guide  the  more  violent  ones  to  temporary  housing  until  they  could  return  to  their  respective  homes.  She  didn't  seem  like  she'd  be  such  a  creature,  a  charmer  like  himself  to  be  sure.  But  he  still  should  have  at  the  very  least  offered  some  small  talk  before  asking  what  she  was. 

"Can  we  try  again?'

@rcliicta asked: “Go to Germany and have kids together.” - grace to kurt

Kurt paused on his way to the living room where his wife and sister were talking. That was... a surprising development, he'd only just gotten the courage to ask her to marry him. Apparently everyone had just assumed they already were, which was a little charming if you squinted at it in just the right light.

But children? And in Germany? Was she talking about Darkholme Castle? Head spinning with questions, Kurt gave it a shake before putting on a bright smile that only showed a little teeth before making his way into the room.

'I cannot believe you let Logan throw out my schnapps,' he held up a hand when Rogue's mouth opened. "Don't try to tell me the Gambit did it, he loves me too much. Logan likes to see me sad, I think he likes the way my lower lip wiggles. Wibbles! I meant wibbles.'

@rcliicta asked: “And yet I still can’t program my DVD player.” - kitty to kurt

'Well don't hiss at me, Kitty!'

Behind him the sound of children screeching made a nerve jarring white noise, holding a few DVD cases that he'd plucked from curious hands. It had been thoughtful for his sister to drop off a box of movies. Less so that she hadn't actually sorted through them to make sure some not so kid friendly things weren't included.

He was sure that Terminator for a group of five year olds who only had access to nick jr and house of mouse would have gone over great. He wasn't even going to start wondering how the parents would have reacted to Wuthering Heights...

'We are about to be subjected to our own Paradise Lost if you don't h u r r y...'
