She'd purposely come to talk to the Prydes about her school when the girl wasn't home. It wasn't too hard a sell, even without some telepathic suggestions and manipulation. She didn't need to convince the parents, not really, telepathy took care of that, but the point of it was that if the girl's parents were for it then she'd be more likely to come. So after a nice talk with the couple who'd expressed enthusiasm at the prospect of their daughter attending an exclusive boarding school because of her incredible potential (oh how little they knew), they agreed about letting the girl attend, but after of course they talked to her about it and she got to meet and chat with the headmistress herself. 

Emma agreed of course, and showed up a few days later again at their door to officially meet her next student. This girl's abilities could be useful, something more physical for the team. Not to mention there was every indication that this girl was quite smart, something Emma was always glad to have.

 Kurt grabbed the wide broom with his hands and the dustpan with his tail, tackling the leftover food and cups where the dazzled audience left them on the ground and next the seats. Piotr and Svetlana were already handling the next section, bickering like it was the only way to get air in their lungs. Kurt chuckled and collected the candies and popcorn into small hills, scooping them up to dump in the compost bins with a happy hum. He had been allowed to do a spinning and tumbling fall into a solid 'mirror', flashing lights and gunpowder disguising a well-timed bamf to have him appear on the other side of the looking glass, completely unharmed. He had enjoyed the stunned gasps and cheers and paused in his clean up to bask in the echoing cheers. During his reverie, however, he could hear the stomping and grunting of ringmaster Getmann and Kurt frantically weighed out hiding or not. 

He would certainly not be happy about Kurt using his tail in his chores, that was certain. Once Herr said his tail was lewd and indecent and Kurt couldn't understand for the life of him what that meant. It was a tail! It took Misha the Bearded Lady explained in laughing terms for him to understand and he couldn't look at his own tail for weeks after without blushing. Which the other ladies found out about and kept giggling at him. But as for now, if Getmann found Kurt shirking his chores, he'd be livid, so hiding wouldn't work. Kurt decided to drop the pan and sweep like Piotr was, determined to not be seen as lazy. However, the ringmaster stormed off in another direction, not coming into the tent, and Kurt sighed in relief. What had gotten into him to be so cross after closing, Kurt wondered.
