It wasn’t the first time someone had looked at Kurt with apprehension on their faces. He was well aware of his stature and the fact that he towered over most people. He might not possess the same super-human strength he’d had for the majority of his life but he knew himself to still be intimidating to look at so he made the conscious effort to try and put the doctor at ease with a smile.

”I wished to see if you were settling in well.” He stated carefully. “We didn’t meet under the best of circumstances but I wanted to convey my sincere hopes that your research is proceeding well.” Kurt knew he sounded overly formal but the Cetagandan seemed unduly hung up on such things. To his mind, he was already operating with one strike against him when it came to Micah, so he opted to hedge his bets and not risk accidentally offending the doctor by speaking out of turn.
