Oh, praise Jesus, she'd finally found it! Libby felt the most immense sense of relief wash over her when she spotted that large, glittery banner hanging over the waiting area for Fandom High, like a shining beacon, and not a moment too soon! This was the first time she'd ever really been anywhere entirely by herself like this, and it had been incredibly overwhelming. Exciting, yes, but it was a lot to take in! The only thing she could really think to compare it to was when they all packed up to go out to the Wal-Mart for groceries, but even then, she had her whole family with her. And now it was just her and a single suitcase and a pamphlet clutched in her hand, and she thought she'd get lost entirely in such a big place all on her own, but she found it! This was the place!

And she was apparently even a little early, since it looked like she might be the first one there? And even that was a little bit of a relief, because that meant she could just move away from the crowds moving around the airport into the quiet little space under the sparkly banner, have a seat, and just sort of breathe again before the next leg of her journey. An actual high school! Well, a little bit different, she supposed, because it was a boarding school, but as she took her seat, she started to feel that terrible and wonderful nervous turning in her stomach again, and she closed her eyes and she breathed out and she put her hands together to say a little prayer for strength and guidance, and couldn't help smiling a little as she felt a sense of serenity settle her nerves again.

It was scary, being out here by herself like this, but it was also thrilling, and she'd made it this far already, she was halfway there! Now she felt relaxed and ready, opening her eye and looking around for a clock, fussing a little with her long skirt and buttoned-up blouse and wondering if she should have worn more worldly jeans after all, to fit in better, but she didn't need to make herself feel more awkward than she already did with unfamiliar clothes. She just hoped it wouldn't be too much longer for the shuttle to arrive to whisk her away to the next part of this adventure.

Oh boy Libby... buckle in if you wanted the full run down.

"Oh ummm... no, I have, a few ~~nearly a dozen really~~ mutations other than just the blue."

Kurt went silent for a moment, realizing he couldn't just leave Libby hanging like that after giving her that kind of answer. But at the same time... which ones to bring up off the bat was proving to be a bit of a stumper.

"Well, remember how I said mutations can be visible and invisible? Well, I have several of both kinds."

Kurt paused there, waiting to see if that would be enough to satisfy her curiosity for the time being. He had a feeling it wouldn't but he also didnt want to dump on her too quickly. The whole mutant thing could be hard for a lot of people.

And it was that first pause, followed by that second, that did it, and made Libby realize that she'd probably overstepped by asking after all, and she was a little mad at herself for it. She still had so much to learn about interacting with new people!

"I am so sorry!" she quickly said. "Is that...that's probably a pretty personal question to just come right out and ask of someone you just met! Especially the invisible ones! I really didn't mean to pry, Kurt, it's just...I've never heard of anything like this before, outside of books! And, honestly, I don't really get to meet a lot of people, so sometimes I'm not good at knowing what's okay and what's not okay to ask about!"

Kurt had to smile a little at Libby for all the flailing she was doing. It was a bit odd to see someone so worried about offending him and insulting him. Kurt was used to the insults being thrown blatantly at him by most people, so this was an admittedly kinda cute change from the norm.

"It's ok, really. You don't have to apologize Libby. I'm not offended or anything... just still surprised someone I just meant actually wants to know more about me and who... what... I am."

He gave her a small smile for a moment as he considered how to approach this.

"Tell ya what. Let's start with the things that are gonna be hard to keep hidden unless I wanna keep wearing this thing all semester," he said patting the front of the hoodie.

"So, we'll start here" he said as he gave her a smile and slowly widened it, showing the two fang-like canines. He then pushed back the hoodie the rest of the way till it fell back off his head totally, revealing pointy ears.

"Then there's this" he said with a smirk as he lifted an arm and pushed back the sleeve of the hoodie, revealing his three fingered hand and the soft fine fur that actually covered his body before he slid his feet, which has been carefully tucked under the chair he was sitting in out to show Libby the custom boost he had to wear because of his unusual two toed feet.

"And one last one before your brain melts" he said as he stood and untucked the edge of the hoodie from his jeans, letting his long admittedly devil-looking tail slip out from where he had had it tucked up under his shirt.

"There... there's a reason why people usually call me a demon and are afraid of me" he said quietly, knowing that after all that and revealing his true appearance to Libby, he might had just lost the friend he had been so thrilled to have already made. But... she would have found out soon enough. Probably better to get it over with if she was going to react the way most people did.
