Alex hadn't realised how much time he'd spent with Kitty already; they'd been talking in the rec room, while Kitty was cooking their food, while they had been eating ... it had all added up to a good chunk of time. Not that he minded, of course. No, he hadn't enjoyed himself so much in a long while.
Although he didn't have anything in particular to do, he didn't want to keep her. She was probably the one who had better things to do. He thought maybe he'd go down to the subbasement, see if he could get some Danger Room time in. Probably not without Scott though; the man had been his shadow recently. Alex had the idea that Professor Xavier had something to do with that.
"Not more important people," he assured her with a friendly smile, "but things to do, I guess. I suppose I'd better make myself useful, earn my keep."
