(Eddie himself could find courage in the worst scenarios, so even he wouldn't be as useless as one might think in a bad situation. And if anyone could understand the power of teamwork (or more importantly, friendship), it was him. Or at least it would be until he forgot.)
Really? (Eddie sounds positively enthralled to see this tail business. Which makes him feel a little bold. The next question probably isn't surprising.) Can I touch it? (Wait.) As long as it's clean. You don't do anything weird with your tail, do you?
(His nose scrunches up with mildly disgusted assumption. Not that Kurt seemed gross, but Eddie wasn't naive. Boys in general were gross. So were girls- but in a different way.
His temporary expression of disgust is replaced by a frown.) That's not fair. (Except Eddie comes from a time period that was especially cruel towards anyone different. He had an open heart, but his mind wasn't quite there yet due to sheer ignorance. Yet somehow, understanding the wrongness of disliking Kurt simply because he was blue made plenty of sense to Eddie. Probably because there wasn't anyone in his town telling him all blue people deserved to burn in hell.
Again, his expression shifts, this time into a brilliant smile.)
Then you are a hero! (Eddie half-shrieks this, his hands clapping soundly together in front of him, just beneath his chin. He practically vibrates where he sits.) You're definitely a hero if you're using your powers for good and to help those who can't help themselves. That's what heroes do. It's like, the number one thing they do. Besides have an alias and a costume, of course, but that's okay.
