Dreizehn - [Action/Voice]

[Kurt should probably be weirded out that Rogue, of all people, is in such a good mood. But he's not gonna get him down, because it's Valentine's! And what's a blue fuzzy elf to do but go around and spread some of his holiday affection? This is why he's prepared a box of chocolates, a single blue rose, and a card signed Kurt Wagner for all of his special ladies. Incidentally, he has quite a lot of these. Aside from the ladies in the SOS Brigade, he also has them for Katara, Tear, Alexis, Winry, Mitsuru, Noel, and Tsubaki. He even did it for Elicia, because Kurt is a bro like that. ~~Sorry Buffy, you're CRAZY and get nothing.~~

Since Kurt is kind of a creeper and likes hanging out on the roofs and watching people walk around and go home, he was able to drop this stuff off at their homes, give a knock, and BAMF away before being caught. (Unless you really do want to catch them). Later he'll be hanging out at Good Spirits for some hot chocolate and so he can address the community at large.]

Man, this holiday must have some real magic around here, huh? Everyone seems way happier lately! Maybe everyone is just finding their true loves today. I bet it's going to be packed here tonight.

((ooc: first voice reply chronologically belongs to Mitsuru, even if you sneak in and beat her to it!))

[All too abruptly, Kurt appears in the frame of her door, leaning against it with one hand, the other on his hip. He has something special for her... hidden behind the wall with his tail.]

Hey Cordelia. Finally getting settled in?

Just about. [ she turns to face him with a bright smile. of course, anne is a morning person. ]

The view is so very fine from this window. [ anne tucks a corner of the quilt under the mattress. ] I would have to say that I am lucky to have it.

[Kurt looks up a bit towards the window. A view of the river is indeed quite a nice one to have. They really lucked out with this house.]

Well I wanted to make sure you had the best, yeah? I'm glad you like the new digs.

I don't think I've felt anything quite like this since my first week at Green Gables. [ it may not sound like it, kurt, but this means an awful lot. there is little else anne loves more than being accepted or welcomed. ]

Digs, though...[ she hesitates. to dig something is to understand it. so is he expressing joy at her...understanding? ]

[He really does know how she feels, though. He was like a little kid his first day in the Xavier Mansion. He'd never had ANYONE that accepted him outside his parents before that day.]

Digs. Where you crash now. Your pad! [He's doing this on purpose now. So he follows it up with:] Your home.

Your home. [ she smiles and approaches kurt in her doorway; she stoops to pick up her books. ] I suppose I should count myself very fortunate indeed to have two homes. Why, to go so long without one at all and then to gain Green Gables was miraculous enough. And to add another home? Surely, this is the best way of looking at it.

[ so many people griping about how luceti shan't be their home. the difference in anne is that she is so quick to see the perfectly lovely side of the whole issue. what young ex-orphan wouldn't delight to have not one, but two homes? ]

[Kurt already had two homes. The one with his parents and one in Bayville. What's a third one to him? He sees no harm in calling this place home. It doesn't mean he's choosing to stay here forever.]

Well you know what they say, yeah? Home is where you can hang your hat.

[But his cover might be blown soon, since she seems to be walking out of the room.]

Oh yeah, I got a little something for you.

Then it is a very good thing indeed that I keep my hat hung right here. [ which...is literal -- she reaches for a generously brimmed hat from the edge of a vanity mirror and pins it in place with ease and familiarity. ]

Oh? Something...? [ her curiousity is clear. she knows it to be valentine's but she has not expected this. ]

[Very clever, Anne. He pushes himself from the door frame and stands. His tail whips towards him and over his shoulder, depositing a heart-shaped box of chocolates, with a blue rose tucked under a ribbon.]

Here, these are for you.

[ f-for her? she smiles politely in that knee-jerk way that she has and reaches for the...oh. a flower?

anne's expression tightens. she tugs the gift (ungratefully) from kurt's tail. hadn't they just been friends? sure, there were those nice words about her hair and the game of pretend with mister flynn had been flattering, but... ]

[ she stares at the box in her hands. ] I cannot accept these, Kurt. [ she holds them back out to him. ]

[He blinks in surprise and takes them in hand, a little lost at her reaction.]

But they're just for you. See? [He tucks the flower back so he can see where he wrote Cordelia on the box.]</

[ perhaps moving in had been a misstep? surely, she could already hear marilla's voice scolding her for the choice. by so readily agreeing to kurt's offer she may as well have opened herself up to such treatment. this makes her self-conscious. ]

Exactly. I don't feel that it is entirely appropriate for me to be your Valentine, Kurt. [ she wrings her hands but attempts to maintain as stern a disposition as possible. the concept isn't so horrific, but she has her reputation to think of; after all, why would someone give such a gift to more than just one person on such a holiday? though...kida had implied -- hmm. ]

[Uh oh. She's getting the wrong idea. He likes Anne, he really does, but not that much. He shakes his head and settles into a faint grin.]

You've got it all wrong, Anne. Follow me, let me show you something, okay?

[He starts walking towards his room. Hopefully she won't think it's indecent enough to look inside it.]

[ all wrong? perhaps -- oh, but being wrong could possibly be even worse than being right. either way, anne finds herself wishing she could shrink back and become a part of the wallpaper. is there a way to extract herself from this situation with poise?

with a soft cough and a nod, anne follows him down the hall. ]

[Once in front of his room, he pushes open his door. Sitting on his bed is about a dozen other identical boxes of hearts and roses. He turns back to and holds out the box she had rejected.]

I have lots of Valentines to give out. You were just first, yeah?

[Either Kurt is really sweet (and a dork) or a total womanizer.]

[ her mind leaps ahead -- concluding things, deciding others. ]

Kida implied that the boys are meant to receive gifts from the girls and that he expected to be the receiver of many chocolates. But...ah, you practice otherwise?

[ if he is giving out lots rather than receiving lots. surely, this makes him more noble. more chivalric. ] Though I would like to stress that I am not the kind of girl to go about handing out chocolate willy-nilly. I always thought Valentine's was a special day. But I can see it must have...changed, much like how words have changed.

I don't know know who this Kida is, but whatever he's doing sounds crazy. Where I'm from, you give lots of Valentines! But if you've got a special someone, you do give more and make it special. That part hasn't changed.

It did sound a little far-fetched to me; however, I do owe you an apology, Kurt. Your gesture is very sweet.

Don't mention it. Maybe I just need to make sure that the other girls don't take it the same way, yeah?

That may be for the best. Unless, of course, there is a girl special enough...?

Well... there is. [He sags a bit and looks away.] But she's not in Luceti.

[ did someone say romantic tragedy? ]

Kurt, that's so unfortunate. I'm sorry to hear about your separation.

Ahh, don't worry about me, Cordelia. I'll be fine, yeah? She doesn't even know I'm gone yet!

...She must be very beautiful.

[ anne's logic is that beautiful people fall in love. ]
