"I'm a bit out of my mind at the moment, you'll have to give me space to find my way back before confronting this one."
He nodded slowly, understanding somewhat how the guy felt having been in similar situations himself over the years. Though it was still somewhat disconcerting seeing such traits in others, especially since he was beginning to wonder exactly how Gauntlet’s grasp on reality differed from his own and what coping mechanisms he must have developed for existing in the human world.
”Do not fret, take what time you need and gather yourself. I will postpone more in depth discussion till you’re in complete control of yourself.”
In the background the loud and boisterous voice of Angelfire was echoing throughout the penthouse; it would appear that was one thing he didn’t need to suits aid in boosting. Shame, it may have become dark enough for his sensibilities but the unnaturally joyful boy was as irritating as ever, perhaps more so in order to somehow compensate for his lack of powers at present.
Though just as Nightlander was preparing to withdraw into a private bubble of shadows he noticed that Angelfire and Tigress had gathered at the door with Drake, where a girl appeared from the pouring rain. Her eyes appeared to dart over each of them before she spoke, naming each as if she had been there during the fight earlier. Strange indeed, though he did remember Drake muttering something about a girl when none existed; perhaps this was that girl, somehow there and yet not. It was not the most unlikely thing to have happened, so quite plausible in all honesty. As soon as the door closed behind her someone brought up the topic of food which resulted in their excitable companion darting madly towards the phone and dialling for what appeared to be pizza.
"Hey what do you guys want on your pizza!?"
Nightlander cocked his head slightly and clicked his tongue for a moment before growling as response to the boy.
”I will have a Bolognese If at all possible, though I think you may be waiting a little while on our friend Gauntlet here. He is gathering his thoughts at present.”
