[Look closely and the background is all upside down and his hair appears to be sticking up, he's grinning though.]

Guten Tag allerseits!

I was wondering if anyone would like to be a sparring partner? Or maybe a partner for Fencing? You don't really get the same practise doing things on your own. [Well that didn't sound as wrong in his head and ( Read more... )

[It took Kurt a while to find the Swoop Track, asking several people how he got there, but eventually he makes it, finding himself looking around for Charles. Excited to see how Charles fights and seeing this different man use his ability.]

[Charles had wrangled with his droid to get his hands on a grey on grey sweat suit similar to what he was used to back in Westchester. It had been a bit easier for him to find the Swoop Track as he'd merely skipped through applicable minds gaining directions as necessary and so by the time Kurt arrived, Charles was already there.

And the few track employees did not think anything about this amiss.]

Kurt! [He called out warmly. The young man was distinctive after all!] Wow, look at you in person, aren't you just splendid.

[Geek ... such a geek.]

[He turned his head slightly and spotted Charles, he felt odd for being so excited about this meeting and he was trying to keep it all under wraps, but he has this problem of almost always showing his emotions. So his smile? His smile is very big, more of a grin actually.

His right arm bends across his stomach as he sweeps his other arm across and out behind him whilst he bends forward in a bow, making sure to maybe purposefully flick his tail out a little.]

A pleasure to meet you in person.

[Action] The tail!! excessivehubris October 24 2011, 22:38:27 UTC
[The gallant bow had him chuckling but what really got his attention was the tail. Oh and wasn't that just a thing to see up close. Granted, he hadn't wanted any part of Azazel's tail but on a mutant who wasn't trying to kill him, Charles was enchanted.]

A pleasure indeed, such a pleasure! [He does remember to bring his eyes to Kurt's face and that bright smile, answering it with one of his own but then, its right back to the tail and Charles forgets himself completely as he paces around Kurt to get a better look at that.]

The possible genetic expression for the tail is ... insert Charles geek talk that I can't possibly replicate here

[He rambles on for probably about oh way too long before drawing himself up short and bouncing forward, hand extended to shake.]

Sorry, so sorry, Kurt. We're not here for a genetics lecture, we're here for a spar and I haven't even properly greeted you.

[He stays on the one spot, turning his head to look over his shoulder as Charles looks over him. Examine was a word with strong ties to being made uncomfortable, that he found it easier to just think of it as curiosity. However, it's the first time he's actually ever heard Charles go on about genetics and even though he isn't a scientist, it's incredibly interesting to hear how much he knows his stuff.

It gets to a point where he rocks back onto his heels and laughs as Charles apologises, tail curling from side to side and he takes his hand, shaking it.]

It's fine, honestly. I don't mind.

But yes, sparring! [And he looks even more excited.]

Yes!

[Charles shakes his hand with a friendly eagerness, then releases him and turns and waves his hand across the open space of the track. There is some nice turf looking area in between the actual track and the space is wide and open.]

I figure we can start in the center then? Is there anything specific you wish to work on?

[Kurt takes in his surroundings for the first time and he's impressed.]

Sounds like a good idea. [He looks back to Charles with a warm smile.] Maybe just basic movements? Nothing too extreme.

[Charles nods, secretly glad that Kurt didn't want to attempt anything too extreme. He does have some inkling of his limits.

Walking down to the center of the turf area, Charles turns to face the other mutant and gestures with his hands.]

Well then, ready when you are?

[Action] I totally suck at sparring stuff lol wunderbarbamf October 24 2011, 23:41:53 UTC
[Kurt bends down to touch his toes on each foot, straightening up and leaning back. He moves closer and crouches slightly, springing forward and grabbing Charles' shoulders, he flips over him turning slightly and lifting his tail to the tip touches just under the other man's chin.]

[Action] You're fine!! Just have fun with it, I'll roll with what you throw at me. :D excessivehubris October 24 2011, 23:50:38 UTC
[Charles had ... well truthfully he'd watched Alex and Sean horse around and he'd seen Erik keep himself in shape but other than running with Hank, Charles himself hadn't engaged in much of the physical rough housing.

He simply wasn't built for it.

Expecting a humanoid attack, perhaps a charge and tackle Charles is quickly out flanked by Kurt's light, graceful movement and that tail is right up within strike range to his throat.]

Clever use of your whole form, Kurt. [Yes, he does sound like a proud school master in the moment before he tries to spin back around and into Kurt. Honestly, he couldn't telegraph the move more if he put up a neon sign. That said, he does make use of his small size to be quick.]

[ooc: Would you be okay if say Erik dropped in a quick thread jack of sitting and watching? :D]

[Action] dfgeths I wouldn't mind at all :D!!! wunderbarbamf October 25 2011, 00:05:45 UTC
Danke. [He takes it for what it is and feels the same pride he would if it was from his Professor. The same pride he'd feel if anyone complemented what he could do. Though he didn't let it go to his head and instead, having not expected it, though he should have, he finds himself having to take two steps forward, turning to face Charles with a small, slightly devious smile.

He moves slightly to the left and reaches out to grab Charles, intending on sweeping his legs out from under him.]

[ Erik had made his way over to the Swoop Track for his own attempt at practice, rather than collaborate with anyone else, as was his custom. Granted, he certainly wasn't expecting to see Charles tumbling around with Kurt and failing quite miserably in the process.

He doesn't say anything yet, instead content to lean back, arms crossed as he observes their session. ]

Sort of like chocolate into peanut butter? excessivehubris October 25 2011, 00:23:51 UTC
[Charles twists from the grabbing hands, moving more from instinct than any sort of skill or training.

He could always attempt to touch Kurt's mind with his own. Attempt to leverage the advantage of seeing what his opponent intended to do before he did it. Hell for that matter he could just move to freeze Kurt entirely if he wanted too.

But he didn't. This wasn't about that, it was about training and just as he did with Alex, Sean or Hank, for Charles it was about developing the younger mutant's skills.

Which is the excuse he'll be giving for how he misses the leg sweep and ends up tumbling backwards.]

[Kurt grabs air but he's already set his body into motion. Catching Charles and watching for a brief moment as he stumbles back. He rushes in again and reaches out, this time grabbing him by the wrist and using his own weight, Kurt leans backwards to pull Charles into a more steady position.

Sparring, doesn't mean he can't be a little helpful right now. And while Charles has thought about using his ability, Kurt has thought about taking Charles for a short adventure with multiple 'ports. Enough to make someone lose their stomach content and leave him feeling perfectly fine.

But he doesn't, because that isn't what he needs to train. Muscles, reflexes, strategies on the spot.]

Careful.

Figure Erik is creeping for now I think and keep rolling. :) excessivehubris October 25 2011, 00:53:01 UTC
[Charles appreciates the not porting around until he looses his lunch. It was bad enough when Sean's vocal pitch had him on the ground wanting to toss his cookies.

Still as Kurt catches him, Charles can tell that this really isn't much of a true exercise for the other mutant. Kurt already feels much more advanced in his combat skill than Sean, Hank or Alex had been and running around on a field, while fun, is no lesson.

Catching just the shades of the other mutant's thoughts -and don't think he doesn't feel you over there Lehnsherr, Charles straightens up and looks thoughtful.]

I think we can both agree that your physical prowess, out strips mine and this is little more than a Sunday jaunt for you. [Oh but is his smile so proud as he says that.]

How would you like to work on reflex and strategies? It ... would require letting me, [Charles lifts his fingers up towards his temple and gives them a wriggle.]

[Kurt has had at least 18 to 19 years at the circus and probably 8 to 10 years was spent with him performing acrobatics most nights. Then the time spent being an X-Man...

He smiles sheepishly and rubs at the back of his neck.]

Years of exercise and practise.

[That smile means a lot to him that it's still hard to explain and it causes his heart to swell in some kind of triumph.

He understands what Charles means and while he doesn't have the highest levels of psychic walls, he does have some. He's unsure for a moment, but he does trust the man and he relaxes himself, nodding and finding the wriggling amusing. Taking a deep breath and slowly letting it out.]

Okay.
