He turned his head towards Min a smiled shyly. "I sure hope so....." he mumbled and after a pause added "If its a song thats written down I could follow..." since he does want to be a team player and all, but he found his contribution in any kind of skit or song to be incredibly limiting, not to mention he doesnt know what he could do with this character.
And as he continued to listen to the discussion it sounded more and more like it was going to be a song or skit routine. He couldnt help the uncomfortable flip flopping in his tummy whenever the thought of presenting something to class.
He watched Kurumi try to change her features and when she was staring at him that queasiness multiplied a hundred fold. So imagine his shock when the Lioness actually managed to shrink her hair up like his and mimic his piercing blues. "Good Gaia Kurumi thats.... incredible." he stared back a bit spooked.
Oh boy they are actually going to do rhyming? Last time he tried his hand with that..... shoots a nervous glance at Kurumi.... it didnt turn out too well.
"Uhm... I'm not really sure what I can do here...." he mumbled, feeling himself shrink back even further towards the next poster. "I can just research on facts about Mystique, like I rad that she is as old or even older than Wolverine, she's had 2 biological children-- the anti-mutant human called Graydon Creed, the other was the teleporting Nightcrawler, and she was the adopted mother of the power absorbing Rogue, hence the statement that she is motherly." An Encycolpedia, thats really the most he can do here.
"
I'll be fine," Kurumi nodded reassuringly, chewing on her lower lip for just a moment. At least she hoped she would be. She had never stretched herself to change this much by her own accord before...in fact, she had only ever changed her hair of her own choosing a few times. Enough to count on one hand now that she thought about it. "
Got to practice control it somehow."
Noticing Vickers' discomfort with her appearance, Kurumi shut her eyes to concentrate and her hair and eyes quickly morphed back to her usual long black hair and violet eyes. Reverting was easy. She just needed to break her concentration. It was the changing that took concentration. "
T-T-Thanks..." she mumbled shyly, now back to being Kurumi!Kurumi instead of Vickers!Kurumi. She probably should have warned him she was going to change. "
I'm not as ashamed of it now at least."
Clearly not if she was about to do all this in front of the class.
Which was happening right now.

She smiled at her group and then looked again to the class, "Mystique was the leader of the Freedom Force who fought against the X-man and the Avengers, but she became a double agent and was more of a messenger." Yeah that was lame, but it was all she could think of. Looking at the next group member she hoped they would have a better rhyme.
Taking her spot at one end of the line, Kurumi waited for Minnie to speak before she began to concentrate on the girl's hair and eyes with everything she could. It took a little, but before she had finished speaking Kurumi's hair and eyes matched those of the Hufflepuff's.
Turning towards the rest of the class, and scooting a little closer to the girl's side to show the comparison a little more, Kurumi added a little bit of information to their introduction.
What was a blood villain? "
Mystique is best known as a shapeshifter, or someone who can change their appearance at will...like Metamorphagi. But she was also a skilled combatant, master strategist, possessed superhuman agility, able to recover from bodily injuries or disease at a superhuman rate, and ageless."
Pausing again, Kurumi reverted her appearance back and then moved on to the next person in their group, concentrating on their hair and eye color while they spoke.
