Cole accepted the coffee cup and relaxed back, exhaling slightly and getting a scent of the fresh aroma. Kaylee was a stickler for good coffee, same as him. He took a sip and let his annoyance with Pierce subside before he glanced back at her. She wanted answers, he knew it was coming and picking back up where he had intended to give her the truth was as natural a starting point as any. He took another sip. “Let’s do this,” He said finally, putting the cup down. “You’re gonna ask me a question and then I’m gonna ask you one and we’re gonna be completely honest with each other.”

Inwardly Kaylee agrees, outwardly she looks like she is giving it more consideration that she actually did. Her eyes roam over Cole's face as she sucks her teeth and with a small soft click she nods once.[color=palevioletred] "Alright. Did you make it to Nocture before or after the fire?"[/color] 

"Before." Cole replied nearly as soon as she was finished asking. "How long have you known that Una is not a mutant?" He found himself unexpectedly speaking with a more pointed tone as the words came out and something about it felt oddly [i]familiar[/i], like it wasn't the first time they had the conversation. 

Startled Kaylee's eyes widened. She shook her head.[color=palevioletred] "Uná is a mutant. She exhibits all the markers. Her mutant level might be in question but not the fact is that she is just that a mutant. I don't know what else she could be. So, the answer to your question is never. Why would you say she wouldn't be?"[/color] 

"Call it intuition," Cole replied, unphased. "Is that gonna be your question?"

Kaylee thought about that for a moment. Uná was a small part of the reason she was here. She should be the whole reason Kaylee was here but Kaylee wanted some more personal answers.[color=palevioletred] "I don't like the lack of transparency in that answer so I may come back to it later. If you were there before the fire then you might have seen how it started, can you tell me how it happened?"[/color]

"Because I started it."
