Kurt isn't there when the fight first breaks out.

He doesn't know who threw the first punch or what started the argument that led up to the round of fisticuffs; all he does know is that he needs to break it up and as fast as he can manage before Erik decides to put this guy down. At the moment, he's still figuring out the how of that situation.

Some moronic human, spewing anti-mutant garbage and nursing a bloody nose is charging forward, headed straight for Erik, but Kurt's far quicker. (Thankfully, for the idiot, in this case.) He lunges between the man and his fellow mutant, locking one arm around Erik's waist and the other around his shoulders. There's a loud BAMF and the two of them vanish in a puff of smoke, leaving the protester to grasp at nothing but lingering midnight-colored vapor.

When they reappear, it's as far away as he can manage, which is somewhat of a stretch for his three mile limit, although he doesn't seem to care about the dizziness that washes over him and suddenly makes him weak in the knees. No, what he wants to know is--

"Erik, are you all right?"

Whether or not he's alright isn't really the issue here. Not in Erik's mind, anyway; it's been a long time since anyone was able to hurt him in any substantial way. Certainly no human who's not wielding polymer bullets could do him much harm.

"I'm fine."

The issue here is the humans who think that it's okay to act that way about mutants.

"If I let you go, are you going to stay put?"

It's a simple question, only mildly threatening with added emphasis by his arms gripping Erik in a more firm embrace. He's relieved that the other man is okay, but can't help wondering what could have happened if the person had been able to do more damage than necessary.

"I know that he said some pretty slanderous things, but you must learn to choose your battles more wisely. We don't have to fight every single human that attempts to goad us into attacking them to prove their point."

[frankensteinian]

"I don't have a way of traveling as quickly as you do. If he's smart, he'd be gone by the time I got back there." Which isn't a yes, technically. Kurt can take it how he wants.

"How are they going to learn then?"

[shadowblends]

"Then, for his sake, let's hope he has at least half a brain to know when he should step down." His question hasn't exactly been answered, so he'll faintly loosen his grip, but he's not going to let go.

"If they haven't already learned, what makes you think fighting with one more is going to matter?"
