As he rounded the corner and began heading off through the large mansion towards his room he rubbed his hand against the back of his neck. The news of the election had disturbed him more than he had let on, he had seen oppression at the hands of those who preached from their platform of hate or fear before. He hoped that the dark clouds he had felt loomed at the edge of the horizon were really all just in his head though Kitty's speech had only made him feel as if others were seeing them as well. His heavy foot falls thumped against the carpet, muffled as he dragged himself up the stairs. He was thankful though that no one stopped him and that he didn't run into anyone else, a good hot shower would help right his mood and relax him of that he had no doubt. Being with friends and going to the mall would help as well...<br/><br/>Stripping himself from his sweaty gym clothes he tossed them into his small wicker hamper as he grabbed hold of his towels and stepped into the bathroom. Cranking the shower to a high heat as he sat things down and began to tend to other items that required his attention and maintenance before sliding into the steaming hot shower. The heat felt good, warming him to the core as he closed his eyes and tipped his head backwards. It was not an easy position he found himself in. He was still undeniably mad at his sister and yet in that anger had said a few things that he regretted now, but knowing if he saw her that his temper would still likely get the better of him. Another part of him wasn't even sure how he was still alive after the Legacy Virus and there were thoughts he had about even that and his mysterious resurrection that troubled him...even how when he was found and how he had acted. Then there was Kitty. He still didn't know what he should do or say, he'd made a great many mistakes. Perhaps too many and yet he still cared deeply. Perhaps it was best with him being on her team that he keep his distance and keep it friendly, she would need him in the days to come likely with his head on straight and thinking clearly. As if that was even possible, so much of this was beyond him and he wished more than ever that Xavier was around to speak with and help him sort out all of this jumble that hounded at him.<br/><br/>Taking a deep and heavy sigh, his thoughts washing away like the water that now cascaded down him as he stood there for a good 10 minutes under the stream of hot water before starting to finally actually wash himself. He didn't see a need to rush, the Mall would still be there when he was done and better to take a bit of time now before things turned around on them and went crazy. No matter what anyone might say, something was going to come loose, it always did.
