There's something in how the blond - Jet - reacts that makes Kurt pause even if he knows and wants to follow the advice of getting out of the situation. There's a tightness in the eyes, a far-away look that Kurt had seen before in Rouge after prolonged use of her powers or in Kitty when she was the only one to see Danielle Moonstar. The suffering expression of someone unsure of their own mind.

He still moves away, down the hall. He can't risk being on the receiving end of this guy's mental missteps, not when he's trying so hard to survive, and even with the knife put away, the blond is taller and from the feel of it stronger than him.

But he can't go far, not with someone so obviously in trouble. "Will you be alright?"
