He didn't like it.
Limbo Kurt only had a few memories from his life before his master Belasco perverted him and enslaved him, and his old faith in Jesus and God were not one of them.
That's why he didn't like this thing on his doppelganger's wall above his bed. It was a little statue thing of a man nailed to a cross, the look of pain and anguish painted on his features.
It was morning, and the X-men had gone to practice in the Danger Room, leaving Limbo Kurt to explore his new home. He went to his doppelganger's room first, crawling on all fours as he sniffed around and looked through his things, poking them with his tail lightly. He found a candy bar in one of his drawers, and he ate half of it with the wrapper before he discovered that he was supposed to eat it [i]without[/i] the wrapper on it.
Then he saw the crucifix over the bed, and he was fascinated by it.
He crouched on top of Kurt's bed, tilting his head to one side as he stared at it, trying to understand what it meant. His tail swayed side to side gently, mussing up the blankets. He reached out tentatively and he touched it with the tips of his claws, turning his head from one side to the other.
His master had things like these in his bedchambers, but they were mostly skulls, heads, and limbs nailed to the walls and ceilings as trophies of his victories. He just didn't understand why his doppelganger had one like it over his bed. He didn't seem like the man to have torture and murder hanging on his walls like some kind of trophy.
"Is something the matter?" Looking over his shoulder, Limbo Kurt saw his doppelganger standing in the doorway, watching him calmly.
"Why do you have this?" Limbo Kurt asked slowly, turning back to the crucifix. "I thought that...you didn't like torture and murder." Kurt smiled faintly, walking up and sitting down beside him on the bed. Reaching out, he took down the crucifix and held it in his hand.
"I don't." he said. "This is part of my religion; the belief that one man named Jesus Christ was the Son of God, and that he came to Earth and died to wash our sins away."
"Why would He do that?"
"To show His love for us. To show that His Father loved us." Kurt said, shrugging as he placed the crucifix back onto his wall.
"And you have Him on your wall like that? Why do you have Him on the wall dead like that? Why not alive?" Kurt tilted his head to one side, thinking about it for a moment.
"I'm not sure." He said. "I suppose it's to acknowledge what He did for everyone." Limbo Kurt sighed softly, looking away from the crucifix.
"I don't like it." He said. "It's mean to show someone suffering like that. Even if they [i]did[/i] do it willingly." His stomach growled rather loudly, causing Kurt to raise his eyebrows in surprise.
"Hungry?" he asked with a laugh. Limbo Kurt laughed softly, rubbing the back of his head as he followed Kurt out of the room, still on all fours.
"I'm not used to eating good food everyday I suppose." He said. Looking over at his doppelganger, Kurt smiled, tilting his head to one side slightly.
"You'll get used to it." He said. "I'll help you." Limbo Kurt smiled up at him, his tail swaying like a dog's.
