Yes! I'm okay, it isn't too bad but I wanna meet him.
[If he saved her especially. Which reminds her.]
Thank you...for saving me.

Thank you...for saving me.
["then you should've known" flashes in her head, but she doesn't say it. she even keeps the scowl inherent in that thought off her face, just because her emotions are all still completely out of whack.]
At least you get where I'm coming from. Look, this is gonna be... bad for a while, I think. With me. I might need to go try to figure my own shit out.
[she glances at her sword, then bends down and picks it up. the spirit seems happy where it is.]
I'll bring this back to the hearths. You gonna be okay here?

I'll be the control group. Just walk a little farther and see if anything different happens.
[He waves a hand in a shooing motion. This plan is perfectly safe, surely.]
[He waves a hand in a shooing motion. This plan is perfectly safe, surely.]
Yeah, I'll be fine. [He reassures her with a hint of a smile.] Nothing to worry about here!
Take your time and do what you need to do. [After a beat, he nervously adds] I-if that's what you wanna do, I mean! This isn't an order or anything. You can do whatever you want!

So he's someone you don't know. [Kurt kinda knows that feeling, constantly seeing people in his memories who he's never met before.] Well, maybe someday you will.
You're welcome! [He smiles and raises a hand in a wave.] It's no problem. You just stay out of trouble now, okay?
You're welcome! [He smiles and raises a hand in a wave.] It's no problem. You just stay out of trouble now, okay?
U-um... okay? [He's not sure what that means, and he's starting to feel unusually tired, but... whatever. He'll trust in him. And so Kurt tentatively trudges on forward!]
Oh my god. [she rolls her eyes and forces a smirk.]
Too far in the other direction, you nerd. Chill out. I'm not going to take a swing at you or anything if you're saying we're good here.

[she gives him a careful look.]
We will be. Once I have time to process everything. Don't worry about it.

Got it! Got it. [He nods, with a bit of a more sincere smile.]
Okay, so I'll... leave you to that. Catch you on the flip side! [With a meek wave, he backs away before finally turning and leaving. He's not sure if he'd call it his proudest mission, but at least it ended on a vaguely positive note.]

...
[Gar is silent for a few moments before he reaches out and pokes Kurt for no particular reason.]
...'K, guess it's real.
[...]
Dude, we should form a club or something. Maybe we'll get a whole rainbow in here.

Whoa! [He definitely is real! And fuzzy!
And Kurt's surprised, if pleasantly so. This is more what he was hoping for, even if he feels like he should have whiplash form that turnaround.
He laughs weakly at that joke.]
That'd be something! Talk about a colorful club. But you're, like, the first other person I've met who's like... this. [He says as he gestures to all of him.]

Yeah! [Lily does want to know him more.]
You really think so?
I promise...sorry.
You really think so?
I promise...sorry.
[So is Theo, but it's easier not to look it if he's just standing around, watching Kurt walk. He'll wait for Kurt to get a decent distance ahead before he calls out:]
Feeling any different?
Feeling any different?
I do really think so! Anything's possible.
[He nods at her.]
It's okay, it's okay. As long as you're careful from now on, it'll be okay. This isn't exactly a playground, you know.
[He nods at her.]

[Gar resorts to bad humor when he doesn't know how else to respond. It's one of his many delightful personality traits.
But from the faint grin lingering on his face, he seems to be... a little bit pleased. This wasn't even something he would have thought he wanted, but with this sudden revelation...
He feels a little less alone.]
Yeah, well.
Sames.
[...]
Dude, how do you hide it? That's totally cheating, man. Where do I get one of those things?

[Kurt knows that feel, even if he's bad at noticing it in others.
He waves a calming hand as he chuckles.]
W-well this watch of mine, it's called an image inducer, and it covers me up with a hologram! As for where to get it...
[He shrugs helplessly.]
Ask the Retrospec fairy for a wish?

Aw, c'mon.
[Gar pulls his best puppy eyes.]
Wait, I wanna see it again! Do the switch! ...And like, switch back and forth.

[He sighs with a lazy smile.]
Okay, okay. Watch carefully! Now you see me, now you... see a different men! [He dabbles with a button on his watch, turning his human form on and off several times over the course of the minute.]

[gar continues to poke him throughout this process]
Wait, hold up.
[and also... examines his freaky hands and swings back around to -- ]
Dude you've got a tail.
Sweet.

Easy on the merchandise, bro! [He says with a laugh. And he waves his tail.]
Yep! I guess that makes for quite the tail!
Yep! I guess that makes for quite the tail!
I was just saying maybe I should like, do the tail thing, too.
[Gar sprouts a dinosaur tail and wiggles it around a bit.]
Gotta commit to the whole freaky monster bit, right? And like... tails are cool. ...I dunno, it might be too furry.
Whaddaya think?
[He whirls his tail around and unbalances himself enough that he trips.]

[He whirls his tail around and unbalances himself enough that he trips.]
[His smile does flicker a bit at the word 'freaky', but otherwise he's just a mix of amused and nervous at Gar's words. And, even if Gar doesn't have an image inducer of his own, he's a bit jealous that he can grow and get rid of stuff like tails at will.
Kurt laughs as he falls over and then stands over the fallen friend.]
I think you might have some balancing issues to work out, my friend! It's not a bad look... but maybe a monkey tail would suit you better?
Kurt laughs as he falls over and then stands over the fallen friend.]

[Gar dutifully sprouts a monkey tail as he rolls and gets off the ground. It curls around and he glances at it curiously.]
...Yeah, that's a look. I could see that working.
[...The tail shrinks away.]
Maybe I'll save the body mods for later.
...Hey. So, like... does anyone else know about you?
...Yeah, that's a look. I could see that working.
[...The tail shrinks away.]

...Hey. So, like... does anyone else know about you?
I hope!
[Lily nods quickly as she looks around.]
Yeah...I'm not sure why I did that?
