[showbizpanache]

[Someone is very, very upset today and for once is not going to any lengths to hide it.]

I'm assuming most of you read the news regarding the--the unfortunate incident for which the Felton production The Answer is being blamed. It's not quite my place to issue any formal statements on the matter, and most of the cast is being told to keep quiet,

[Blaine just wants to offer cuddling for Kurt right now, okay?]

[showbizpanache]

[He's at the kitchen table with a plate of uneaten breakfast in front of him. When Blaine approaches he just leans back against him wearily.]

[Blaine bends and puts an arm around him before pulling up to rub his shoulders.]

[showbizpanache]

[Kurt is silent for a while, just staring at the newspaper clipping on the table. After a few moment he lets out a small, weary laugh.]

This Christmas season really sucks so far.

text; so very, very private

[hisdiscretion]

Thank you.

[showbizpanache]

I haven't done anything.

[hisdiscretion]

I needed to hear that.

It's been a tough night.

[showbizpanache]

[A flicker of panic.] Should I come over?

[quackery]

Kurt... Are you going to be okay?

[showbizpanache]

I'm fine. I'm always fine.

[quackery]

Nobody's always fine.

[showbizpanache]

I tend to be more fine than most, in circumstances such as these.

[He's seen the play.]

A work of literature on its own can do a great deal of things. But as with any work, it takes a life of its own once it leaves the artist's hands.

I know far too well how potent the written word can be, even without any author or actors to push the message further. But none are at fault in cases such as these.

I will leave prayers for those children.

[showbizpanache]

[Changes the subject slightly.] You went to see it?

[redpeacock]

I did. Together with Franz and Daedalus.

[showbizpanache]

I see. I wish you'd seen me in something different. I wasn't exactly immersed in the role.

[theshortestbird]

You can't blame yourself for what they did. It's not your fault.

[showbizpanache]

Regardless of who or what is responsible, I can't be part of that organization any longer.

[theshortestbird]

You should always do what you think is right.

[showbizpanache]

Thank you for saying that. I absolutely agree. [And he's thankful they're texting, since talking face-to-face might be a little awkward.]
