He stood there in the soundlessness between them, unaware of the turmoil his teacher was currently going through with the memories of simply mentioning the name. Whenever he thought about it, all he could tell himself was that he should have been quicker, could have searched harder ... Should have avoided fighting with Archangel. A stab of guilt pierced his chest at the last thought, the hand at his side twitching then gripping at the leather of his suit. What a fantastic mutant, wings destroyed first by Kurt's determination to live and then his life lost when he'd been unable to escape the plane that he'd teleported all of them from. Dead, all because of En Sabah Nur's influence over him.

"As selfish as it might sound, I wish that I was," he paused to release a harsh breath, head shaking, "No one should suffer with the pain." And yet, so many had or still did. If it were possible, he'd aid in ways to help them be rid of it and part of him wished there was some sort of second mutation he possessed to do so.
He met Charles' eyes again and some of the apprehension within him settled, a soft smile tugging his lips up. "As am I, Professor."
