One arm around Illyana until she has her friend settled on a chair in the kitchen; then the hot chocolate.

"//Nyet, Illyana. If your brother does come home, he'd kill me. You don't quite look legal drinking age.//"

Like that's ever mattered before. But she's not sure alcohol is a good idea for Illyana now, and she is sure that Piotr would not like her spiking his sister's hot chocolate.

"//...But maybe another day, da? And you can stop smirking. There were...a lot of things we had to deal with, before we could get to this 'man and wife' thing.//"

Many of which happened after Illyana's death, so she decides not to focus on any of them and instead gently sets the hot chocolate in front of Illyana before going to get the first aid kit from the cupboard.

With their lives, they have one in every room.

"//You look like you have some abrasions. Anything worse?//" With anyone else, she'd be wondering if this was Mystique or another shape-shifter.

But this is Illyana, and so she knows.

"//...And do you want to talk about what--what happened to you, whatever it was, now, or later, Snowflake?//" It's Piotr's pet name for her, but Kitty uses it gently as she leans over to carefully treat the first set of scrapes.
