not at all, you were very natural

[ The briefest pause before: ]

you've never danced with anyone before?

[wwrench]

It's a natural thing to want to hold onto you.

No. Maybe in elementary school, I'm not sure.

you want to hold onto me?

that's a shame. we need to start making up for lost time, clearly

[wwrench]

I know everyone's in a hurry to find a way out, but I'm not so sure I want to leave.

Would you want to teach me how to dance properly?

[suchmiracles]

[ An even longer pause between messages this time. ]

would you think I was crazy if I said the same thing?

[wwrench]

I assume you don't mean the dancing.

I'm surprised. Was life that bad for you before?

[suchmiracles]

in some ways.

Logan died, back home, over a year ago. His healing factor was compromised and the metal on his bones poisoned him. Slowly. We buried him and I mourned him, until I saw him again here. If I leave and go back.. he won't be there.

And neither will you.

I don't want that
A life without you in it, I mean

[wwrench]

I knew he had died, but I didn't realize all that. I'm sorry, Kurt.

Maybe we'll be lucky. Maybe we'll be stuck here forever.
