Really, humans are not lesser beings.
i -- i didn't mean it like that. [he places a clammy palm to his burning forehead, looking away from charles' probing eyes. with the loss of the serum went most of steve's confidence and apparently the ability to form coherent, well-thought statements. the serum may have bulked him physically, but it also did the same mentally and emotionally for him.]
[ but how do you really feel, mr xavier? ]
Practicing your argument for my brother?

Potential is a tricky concept, Erik. [ he will not use the other name, not unless he's asked. ] Whoever defines it sets the standards for measurement, reinforcing their own claim. If, for example, I measured potential by skull size, I might come to certain erroneous conclusions. [ for the sake of politeness, he doesn't go with the obvious choice of example, but it's quite clear in his tone. ]

[There's quite a few exclamations in German in Kurt's head, meanwhile his jaw drops in amazement.] Ach du liebe, dhat...dhat is...how do you do dhat?? Vhe had a mindreader in dhe circus, but dhat vhas an act.
[ charles openly smirks at his amazement; this remains his favorite part of his work. ] For much the same reason you are blue and have the ability to... [ he plucks it from kurt's mind, deliberately making his presence known. ] Teleport? Really? May I see a demonstration?
[Kurt straightens importantly, it's not often he can show off his ability. Mostly because it freaks people out, as if the tail and the blue wouldn't do that already.]
Now you see me...
*BAMF* [Kurt disappears in wisps of black, a scent of sulfur left behind.]
...now you don't! [His voice comes from where he reappeared on a roof overhead, grinning at his own showmanship. He teleports back again a moment later and gives a sweeping bow.]

[He settles back on his heels, a little more at ease since Charles doesn't seem to be scared of him.]
Since I vhas young. I practice sometimes...it helps if I know vhere I am going. Far avay is harder. But I alvays look blue, or so dhe gypsies tell me.
