[Kurt does ease away slightly as she regains her bearings, though he keeps an arm on her shoulder to make sure. He frowns thoughtfully.]
I- I guess it is a bit hard to work into everyday conversation... [He says with the hint of a joke.
He wonders if he should have seen something like this coming. This whole time his mother's been on the app, he's been afraid of her finding out about weird and dangerous things involving him. He never really thought about the fact that now she'd be getting memories too... and her own share of weirdness. He certainly does have a lot of questions, but he doesn't know where to begin. And he's also trying to maintain some degree of tact.]
...So... you can turn into a dragon. It doesn't... Does it hurt or anything? [Overall, he feels that he should focus on making sure that she's alright above everything else.]
I- I am? [Partly he's practically stunned in shock still as he processes this. Partly he's more concerned on ensuring he's okay. And partly it doesn't feel too strange when he compared to what he's been experiencing, even if this one is literally on a much larger scale.]
Well... This is life with Retrospec. And... you're still you, right? Scales and all. [After a beat, he manages to add with a smile.] Definitely nicer than the last dragon I met! [The one he rode home on at the end of last summer.]
[SHE IS she is that would be awful if she wasn't.]
Yes, I am still me.
[She was still Amelia. Kurt was still her son.]
Was that dragon troublesome?
[She felt a distant prickle of indignation at the thought; seeing other dragons tended to make her irritated, like she was still sorting out her place in a changing world.
As she asserts that she's still her, he feels relieved. ...Maybe he needed to hear that too. With all that's changed, he's still himself, and his mom's still his mom.
He gives a nervous chuckle as he recalls that past encounter.]
Well, she did try to kill her at first! But after we snapped her out of it, she was pretty agreeable! That's how we got our life home back then.

Dragon Mom
[Kurt just looks at her, shocked and concerned as he tries to take that in. This isn't new? Is this... what she really is?]
You... you've been like this? [He mouths in surprise.] I... had no idea...
[As an afterthought, he answers her question, with a shake of his head.]
N-no, of course not. [He was, at least a little.] This is just all... a pretty big surprise.

Yes, I imagine so. I...neglected to inform you, when I learned of it. The time never seemed right.

[...she still didn't know what happened to her clothes, but that was not something she was going to mention to her son.]
You're handling this well, Kurt.
[No shouting (except the initial one), no running around in frightened circles.]

Or they were just competition, either or.]
