K wasn't expecting the X-Men to be prompt - as it was, the Black Forest was thick enough that she was sure Scott would find somewhere more open and less likely to be an ambush. And in the meantime, she and Kurt got to play a little more and spend some time enjoying the countryside. She was delighted to see the darling boy come out of his quiet phase the longer they were together.
The two of them were playing a few little games - mostly ones where K had monopolized on the opportunity to combine German and English words to get the boy thinking. It was a little one sided, but he would point something out to 'test' her German, and then he'd have to answer her with the English answer as well. He did fine for his turns to pick, but it was clear quickly that when it was her turn, it took a lot more thinking to remember the English words.
They were coming up on a river, still playing their game when K heard a twig break, and she paused, watching the area around her to see where it had come from, though she didn't alert the little one that anything was amiss. Not unless she had to.
But when nothing looked out of sorts, she simply kept her guard up as they headed down to the river, where they found Wolverine sitting on a log, arms crossed as if he'd been waiting there for days. He didn't get up right away, and instead watched them as K simply continued down the path. "I thought you'd call first," she said.
"Figured it'd be better if we surprised you for a change," Logan replied, and K nodded at that and took a seat herself on the far end of the log from him.
"You're not alone, I know," she said. "I heard one of them back in the woods. So ..." she waved Kurt over to her, where she rested her hands on both of his shoulders. "This is my little friend, Kurt. Where is your very anxious boss?"
"Not my boss."
"Okay, we'll stick to that," she said. "All the same ..."
"He'll be down in a bit," Logan said gruffly before he took a cigar out of his belt and lit it up.
K did her best not to watch him too carefully so as not to alarm Kurt while she used the chance to bring up new words. She pointed to Logan. "Gelb und schwarz."
Kurt glanced up at her, still looking a little unsure of the newcomer, but he nodded all the same. "Ja. Yellow and black."
Logan paused and looked between the two of them for a moment. "You been doing that the whole time?"
"More or less," K said, nodding. "There's only so much we can use in the forest though." She gave Kurt a little smile and pointed to some very pretty but also toxic mushrooms growing near by. "Pilz."
Kurt nodded. "Mushroom?" he asked.
She nodded and grinned back at him. "Wunderbar."
His grin widened at that, showing his pointed teeth. "Wonderful," he said in a clearly teasing tone. "Ich weiß das."
Logan looked amused, but simply relaxed to watch and see how much more they would do. "Of course you do," she said. "How about a tough one? This gentleman can help us, yes?" She gestured to Logan again and smirked. "Das ist Vielfraß."
Kurt frowned. "I... I do not know... wie sagt man..."
She shook her head and smiled. "Nein, er heißt is ....Vielfraß."
"Ah!" Kurt turned toward Logan and waved. "Hallo. Ich bein Kurt."
Logan nodded and gave K a little glance. "Ich bein Logan." He turned toward K. "Are you trying to confuse the kid?"
