Post-service - Kitty + Ororo <3
Kitty's expression slipped into a slight frown at Ororo's question. She knew what her answer was and that it would only be a disappointment. The last thing she wanted was to make the other woman sadder on what was already a sad day. She shook her head. "It's not that I don't want to be back at the mansion with everyone..." Okay, maybe some people were still jerks she wanted to avoid, but still. "I'm working on a case. Some bad guys were using Charles's death to capture and traffic mutants. If I could make some good out of all the senselessness..."
She pursed her lips, eyes wandering to the X-Men in the crowd. "That'd be better for me than...just about anything else." As far as holding down the fort at home went, people like Ororo and Scott were much better equipped for that. "I'm sorry. I know that's not the answer you want to hear."
