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.
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."
"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.
"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?"
