Really? That's some far out stuff! Better be nice to that kitty!

[rashness]

I am! I don't tease him, much!

[wildbluevagner]

Teasing demons even a little isn't dangerous?

[rashness]

Why wouldn it be? It's just Kuro, it's not like it'll be a big problem.

[wildbluevagner]

If you say so, man! I'm not the one pulling on the demon cat's tail.

[rashness]

Well whatever you say, man. [As his own tail wags]

[wildbluevagner]

[Yeah, he just can't ignore that anymore.]

I don't mean to be rude, man, but your tail is showing.

[rashness]

Oh yeah, I know. I used to keep it wrapped up under my shirt, but it's really restricting, so I stopped.

[That and... being more honest about his heritage, but that's a whole different thing he doesn't need to tell a pirate about]

[wildbluevagner]

[A quiet nod.]

And would it be too much to ask... Why you have a tail? [It's the kind of thing Kurt would like to keep secret... and he'd appreciate this guy having similar privacy, but it's hard to tell if that's what he wants when the tail's being flaunted about.]

[rashness]

It's... 'cus I'm a demon. Sort of.

[Itching his chest, sheepishly sort of looking off in the other direction]

[wildbluevagner]

What... for real? [It's hard to conceive of someone his age with a tail being an actual demon... Maybe he just doesn't know he's a mutant...]

[rashness]

Yeah, for real...! It's thought my dad's side. My mom was apparently human, and I wasn't really raised by the guy who's actually my dad.

[This is all said pretty sheepishly, itching the back of his head. Confessions to some random pirate...]

[wildbluevagner]

Ah...

[It feels all too oddly familiar to him. Part mutant, part demon, distant parents. Except with Kurt, he didn't know his dad, and his mom was the one acting as his plague. Within Rin's honesty, he finds himself mentally waffling whether or not he should match that.]

Are you sure you're not a mutant?

[rashness]

Wait what-'s a mutant?

[Blink]

[wildbluevagner]

People born with something called an X-Gene. It makes them different, real different from other people. Weird powers, sometimes weird boy features. Including tails. Are you sure you're not... actually that?

[rashness]

Whoa, that's sort of cool. And I dunno, maybe? I met the guy who's actually my dad though, he's a real asshole.

[wildbluevagner]

[That reaction lets Kurt know that demons really must be something different in his world. But he's still apprehensive.]

Oh... really? Man, that's gotta suck. [Not entirely unlike Mystique, but Kurt's nowhere near describing her with similar vulgarity.] Your dad's a demon and... not the kind that's your friend?

[rashness]

Yeah. I wasn't raised by 'em or anything, but he's killed a lot of people, including relatives of people I'm friends with. [...] And people close to me. He's a bad guy all around.

[wildbluevagner]

I'm sorry to hear that. [He doesn't know what to say - that's worse than anything he's heard Mystique has ever done.] We can't control the people we come from. And it can hurt to have to face something like that. But at least... you, yourself - you're a pretty decent dude.

1/2

[rashness]

[He nods, solemnly. That's reassuring to hear, all things considered, even if it's just from some random guy. It's an absolution he's tried to live with after all]

[rashness]

Anyway--aren't you being weirdly sentimental for a pirate?

[wildbluevagner]

All romantic swashbucklers have hearts. But I guess you could say I'm just a part time pirate. [And then, flatly.] It's all just a game, dude.
