It took a few long moments before Kevin realized that it was him that Rogue was speaking to. He'd been trying so hard to stay out of her way, that he hadn't even realized she had stopped in front of him. Honestly, he couldn't even recall a time that she had directly addressed him, let alone seemed interested in what was actually doing.

"Hey, Rogue," he responded, looking up at her from his place on the stairs. It only took the few seconds of watching her skin wither before he looked away, doing his best to avoid her eyes without seeming rude. "Nowhere today. Ms. Frost thinks I need to get out more. This is the best I can do," he said with a shrug.
