Post-service - Kitty + OPEN
Kitty's eyes were puffy and red by the end of the service, which was to be expected. It was a day focused on honoring Charles Xavier's life, and she was grateful to Illyana for helping her get there for this service. It had been weird to see all the X-Men up on stage and not be standing there with them, but she'd made her choice and could accept the repercussions of them. It had felt good to get the emotions out of her system that hadn't been washed away in all that whiskey in Pete's living room, but before she went back to England, there were plenty of people she needed to say hi to (and some she kind of just wanted to awkwardly avoid).
She blew her nose into a tissue and hoped she didn't look a mess before weaving through the retreating crowds to look for a friendly face.
