[ In that sense, it might be true. That wasn't mystery or withholding so much as it was just the all of it laid out. For his confident front, there wasn't really a ton to show off when it came to the Maximoffs. Peter was fast, he used to live in his mom's basement, and he could out eat almost anyone in this academy. ]
Enigmatic, huh? I kind of like the sound of that. [ But only the sound because he has no idea what it means.
He blinks behind his goggles at the sudden shift. Yo wouldn't know that Kurt had been stabbed just recently with a smile like thaf, would you? And all for him. Not that he realize that just yet, of course. ]
Yeah, dude, totally. Once you back to 100%, we'll definitely hang out. I can even take you to the mall again or maybe a different one. How does that sound?
I thought you would! You seem like the mysterious type to me. [except not in the usual sense? it's hard for him to explain, so he hopes peter simply takes it as a compliment because he thinks he's super cool.
quicksilver had been right about one thing: a stab wound wouldn't be enough to keep him down. the pain has lessened and applying pressure to the injury restricts the blood-flow for now, which reassures him that they'll have no problem getting him fixed up.]
There's more than one? [kurt blinks, almost looking incredulous at the idea.] Not that I didn't like the one I went to before, but— [imagine the possibilities! all those other stores he has yet to encounter, the undiscovered food courts and arcades ...]
I'd love to experience another. Do you have a favorite? [hopefully, his subtlety is still in full effect.] Maybe we could go there.
[ You know what? He will. While it might be something he's not often called maybe it can be added to his repertoire. Why not? A man can never have too many labels! (He can, in fact, have too many labels.) ]
There are so many, dude. And some really famous ones, too! Mall of America is gigantic. I can't say it's my favorite because, well, I've never been but... I always wanted to go.
[good! at the very least, peter can say he has a variety of them and can't be designated to one thing. (which — in his own opinion — seems to be a good thing?)
kurt focuses solely on his friend again, spellbound by the idea of visiting this huge mall with its many stores and indoor rollarcoaster. yes, he's searched for the place. who wouldn't with attractions like that? although--]
I'd love to, but— [he pauses, reluctantly breaks away to look up the stairs they've reached.] Are you sure that's something you'd like to experience with me? [because when he imagines all the attention they'd doubtlessly get with his peculiar appearance, nightcrawler can't help feeling self-conscious.]
[ It doesn't occur to him at all about how odd it might seem. After all, they went before didn't they-? It's a risk he's willing to take besides.
Especially if it meant making his friend happy. ]
Of course it is! How else am I going to prove to you - and everyone - that I'm the best at Pac Man in any mall?
[ It's a bold claim but one that he's more than ready to back up. Besides, it's an easy excuse to hide the truth that he'd really just like to spend more time with Kurt to make up for all... this. This trouble that he caused. It might not be the most direct way but is, in fact, one he shows that he cares. ]
