Karofsky's actually got a nice smile, Kurt notices now, when it's unguarded rather than a sneer. He looks genuinely glad for the chance to sit with Kurt, and so Kurt takes the mug with a grateful nod, curiously glancing down at the cider. It's only now that the thought hits him, but even a drink as simple as cider seems genuinely difficult to procure on the island. He remembers, though, Rachel bringing back her share of the winnings for that swing competition. He also remembers feeling slightly strange about her turning to Karofsky as a partner.
But if they worked well together, Kurt thinks, why not?
"I think I prefer being busy," Kurt confesses, finger running along the lip of the mug. "Maybe not always this busy, but it's nice to have actual classes again. Dancing and singing and playing instruments all of the time last term was nice, but made all of that start feeling like work, which is the last thing I want it to become."
He takes a tentative sip of the cider, relaxing into a fuller smile of his own. It falters, though, at the mention of hanging around the Compound. Conflicted, Kurt gazes down at his mug.
"Yeah, I... I've been trying to keep my space, I guess. Lately. I've got a lot on my plate and not as much time to work through it. Staying with the rest of New Directions started to feel like too much."
