As the morning progressed Kat retreated into a corner of the house she had barred the students from, for her own sanity and their own safety. Kagerou was a different matter; whilst Kat didn’t know her past formalities she’d been surrounded by enough old souls to be able to recognise the same quality in her. Any space she afforded would be through respect, and responsibility for the students. Regardless of the means, as long as the space was not invaded Kat would be perfectly hospitable. She also kept distant from the areas she had allowed to them, a safe space was all they needed from her.

However that is not to say she was not completely ignoring their presence, even if they weren’t wholly aware of it. So when Kagerou began wandering Kat knew, though was left only to guess the reasons why. Setting down her things she turned to leave but a small noise from the tablet on the side drew her attention. She looked to see what the latest news was, quickly scanning the article, before once again turning to find Kagerou with tablet in hand.

Naturally it didn’t take Kat long to locate her, and she approached with a courteous but impersonal manner. “Kagerou. I hope everyone is as well as they could possibly be, given the circumstances.” The tablet looked misplaced in her hands given the attire she now wore; dark and unearthly robes and metallic chains. “I doubt you’ve had a chance to see this yet, but it is likely to be worth a cursory glance at least.” She said, showing her the article.

Beneath a press image of Erik Lehnsherr, who the journalist reminded had been previously known as Magneto, was the outlining of a press release he had given. Within it he mourned for the great loss for the mutant community of both promising young life and well seasoned individuals, and urged for the importance of finding and punishing those responsible. However behind the shining words was a veiled contempt, perhaps accusation even, towards the communities which had failed to accept them. The mutants had just been attacked, but a deeper reading suggested it was going to be retaliated.
