Second Floor Common Room; Saturday Morning [01/29].

A letter had arrived from Libby's grandma, with a little note and a little spending money, pointing it out that it wasn't much, but it was more than what she was used to making do with. And while it would have seemed wise to save it, Libby missed making big meals with her mom so much that she headed to the store, picked up what she needed, and then headed back to the common room to start putting together a nice breakfast casserole.

And if anyone woke up and wanted to have some with her, all the better, but if not, she already had some Tupperware ready to go to go and a list of people she planned on distributing the leftover to.

[[ work is suspiciously slow right now and I know i shouldn't trust it, but i'mma post anyway! Open common room is open for all your common room and breakfast needs! ]]

"Before Zo and her family moved into the house next door," Libby offered, "it was just Mrs. Dobbins. Her husband died when I was real little, but she stayed on. A really sweet old lady, she always had peppermints for all us kids, and Mama would pick up things from Walmart for her, but, a little over two years ago, her son moved her into a nursing home over in Johnson City..."

She trailed off a little, looking at Kurt thoughtfully, as she thought about how those two years had been different, but also the ways that nothing really changed much at all, and how she'd never really known lonely until she came here; you could hardly turn around without tripping over a Little underfoot.

"You don't have any siblings?" she asked. "It was just you, and your mom and dad?"

If she was honest, though, playing with the wild animals in the woods sounded a little like a dream. Just letting your imagination run wild without any little kids to run after or try to keep from getting hurt or out of the mud or picking fights with each other. She would be like a wildwoman of the forest, learning to live off of the land and what God provided for her, with all His creatures as her friends...

"Just the three of us" Kurt confirmed with a nod. "I'm adopted, so mom and dad look like anyone else you would meet anywhere. They found me when I was just a baby, abandoned by a river near the woods by their farm. So, they took me in and raised me as their son."

Kurt smiled somewhat fondly yet also sadly, grateful for the parents he did know and love but still always curious to some extent about the parents he likely would never meet.

"This was me when I was about three or four" Kurt said as he pulled out an old Family Photo that ye he still kept with him in his wallet.

"Found abandoned by a river," Libby repeated, offering Kurt a sad kind of smile, as she tried to put a more positive light on it, "just like Moses..."

She hoped he'd appreciate the sentiment, anyway, and she tried to make her smile more encouraging before she leaned in to take a look at the picture, and she couldn't help but laugh a little.

"Awwww! Look at you!" She grinned up at Kurt. "You're so small!"

Boy, if she thought chasing after the Littles was a handful, now she was imagining trying to keep track of a little tiny Kurt teleporting everywhere and him probably having a grand old time of it, too!

"Aye like Moses" said with a slight smile. "And yeah seems like despite being what I am... I still have been growing up pretty much like a 'normal' human. Had to learn to walk and talk, all the awkward puberty stuff a few years ago, and all that fun stuff. The learning to teleport is a bit different than the normal teenage stress and all" he said with a chuckle. "But actually, where I am from at least, Mutants, like me, are just a differ type of human."

"Well, obviously," said Libby, with her smile softening a little, as she tried not to think of the kind of people (she didn't even have to reach that far, either, to find one, unfortunately) that would think anything otherwise. But then it tilted a little, teasing now, as she added, "Why should you get to be lucky and skip all that stuff just because God made you blue?"

"That reminds me of something my parents told me when I was younger and started realizing the kids I would run into and see around our small village were treating me differently. They told me that God paints people all different colors and I was lucky enough to get painted a very special color."

Libby's grin brightened at that.

"I guess even God," she said, feeling pretty proud of herself for this one, "gets bored always using the same set of crayons all the time."

Her tone went a little softer, and she added, "Your parents sound like really good people, Kurt."

"They are. I... I owe them a lot." Kurt got quite and gave a determine nod and a grin. "I am going to make them proud of me. I am going to be one of the X-Men someday and do something good!"
