Yes it was. But he’d been good. He’d been competitive levels good. His dream had always been to be a champion. And there was this whole idea that he had to start back from the bottom? It hurt and what if he never got back what he was?
“Hot elf-“
Oh god, David starts to laugh. “You mean Jean-Paul? Yeah, he knows how to skate. Though he specializes in skiing, not skating. I really don’t want to bother him with this. First of all, he’s sort of my boss back home. And house mate. And a bit of a role model? Though I’d also note that, uh, he’s also the reason that, even if I had come to terms with my powers, I might never have been able to go pro. He’s an Olympic Gold Medalist back home. But apparently being a mutant is cheating, so we’re not allowed to compete anymore.”
Oh man there were so many things to say about that. But asking Jean-Paul to go out of the way to help him? No. That was not even something he would ever consider doing. It would be embarrassing.
