It perhaps would be as anything a good distraction from what bothered him and if they needed a helping hand with some lifting why not put the fruits of his labor to use in helping a friend. He didn't respond as Kitty continued with level setting the expectations for her team and likely the same ones that Storm would set for the school. They were to be the examples in which the students would follow. He merely just nodded in agreement when she had finished and continued to listen even as Gambit then spoke up. Once finished, he merely smiled.<br/><br/>"<strong>My friend</strong>," still having stood near Gambit from earlier while watching the election he put his hand onto his teammates shoulder, "<strong>You are more than you give yourself credit, we all have had moments in which we are not proud but I consider you friend, ally and hero just the same</strong>." He let his hand go as he then chuckled, "<strong>Perhaps, I should go shower first before the mall, as I fear I would cause panic and fear of some attack from the power of my stench.</strong>" he spoke in trying to lighten the atmosphere a small bit. He knew Remy, they'd worked together for a great many years and though he was sometimes a bit of a wild card he knew the man could more often than not be relied upon. If he couldn't have, Professor Xavier would have never let him join the team all the time ago. Not that things had been that easy but still, Gambit had his trust.<br/><br/>He didn't excuse himself just yet to take that said shower, waiting to see if there was anymore that needed to be said and also he was a bit in his own thoughts. Thoughts about what the future might hold both good and bad and the hope he was strong enough to shield those whom he cared from should those bad days come again...like they always seemed to. Some of his fellow X-men he would still have a hard time looking in the eye after how he had behaved when he had for that small time became the Juggernaut and others like his sister he didn't know if he would be able to so readily forgive. After that brief moment he did however take a few steps back to put himself against the wall once more, regardless of whether the mall trip happened or they actually needed his help, he was far from in the mood for a run anymore.
