"Do you know how long it has been since I've done my own grocery shopping? About eight years ago, when I was in grad school." She smirks and takes a cart. "That was an interesting time in my life. I was working at a bar as a bar tender. There was leather involved in addition to a fake tattoo. First time in my life I ever lived alone too." Kitty had lived an extensive life since they broke up and she wanted to make sure he knew how much. Grad school, living in a giant bullet in space for two years. Living on a spaceship. Being engaged to two different guys. There had been two other boyfriends in there too. Seth and Bobby. Seth was insane and Bobby broke up with her because he came out as gay to her. The 'lets be friends' talk was interesting.

England had a way of giving her a chance to reflect. In all honesty, she had one hell of a crazy fucked up life. There was a whole period of time where she thought she had to live that way. It really had a way of sucking a person in.

He follows her through the grocery store, listening attentively.

"Oh just my bloody luck I missed your leather phase," Pete jokes. He's not surprised it had taken her that long to find hersf living alone, what with jumping from one x-group to another and then back.

He'd lived alone since leaving his parents' homes, and hadn't had roommates until he joined Excalibur. It had been an adjustment to say the least, but it had been nice to have people around, despite more than one if them driving him up a wall. Leaving had also been an adjustment, but one that was good for him. One that allowed him to pull himself together without having to worry about hurting anyone else.

As much as he missed Pryde - and even the other members of Excalibur - he knew it was what he'd needed at the time.
