I almost shrieked at my phone negl

Luvander sends Kariya a strange sideways look then, as if what he just said really had made very little sense to him. "I'm pretty sure he died. Spines aren't really made to withstand that sort of thing, and I'm certain I heard his neck snap, though I didn't exactly stick around to check on his health. It's not considered entirely appropriate to get too worked up about your enemies' wounds, especially when your side is doing the wounding." He speaks incredibly calmly, but there is a hint of gentleness there, as if he understands that this must be shocking to Kariya, and he's trying to express himself in a way that isn't too upsetting.

Because the thing is, Luvander has been at this school for three months, albeit secluded in a more private part of it, and under careful surveillance both by social workers and X-men. So far, the lack of fighting is what has taken the most to get used to. Though there honestly is a part of him that wants to stay in battle just for the familiarity of it, there is a part of him that sounds a lot like Sergeant Adamo, telling him that just because he's a damn fool by nature doesn't mean he's excused for acting like one.

Oh, and he does agree with Kariya. Children should not be expected to fight. And if they're forced to anyway, they need someone there to heal them. "Thank you, by the way. I still have some troubles finding my way around; I'm afraid I'd be quite lost here without you." And for reminding him of where he ought to be as well.
