Is he going to help with the school?

[beathach]

Cleaning would go faster if he did. [a lot faster] But - no, he's young enough to be a student.

[takingkarabusiness]

Maybe he will be.

[beathach]

Here's hoping. Though he has amazing control over his powers already. And - I can be fast, but he makes it look effortless. I thought he was a teleporter at first.

[takingkarabusiness]

How'd he get to be so good?

[beathach]

I imagine it has to do with using his powers all the time. He's, uh . . . not really the kind of person who can sit still.

[takingkarabusiness]

I would think not!

[beathach]

[he nods]

It's impressive and tiring all at once.

[takingkarabusiness]

Then be thankful he isn't your son.

He isn't, right?

[beathach]

Wh—no, no. I don't have any children.

[takingkarabusiness]

Not until you get the school running. Then you'll have like fifty.

[beathach]

I don't think I'll have that many.

[takingkarabusiness]

Really? Why?

[beathach]

Well - not for a while, at least. I don't know if any of us can handle that many right away.

[takingkarabusiness]

Then maybe it'll be a cumulative number.

[beathach]

Maybe. Though it's honestly hard to predict just how many we'll get. Mutants are sort of a . . . mm, we're waiting to see how the world reacts? If that makes sense?

[takingkarabusiness]

I completely understand.

[ she does, too. perhaps they're nearing in on the library? ]

[beathach]

[he shoots her a quick smile]

Not that I'm glad you get it, but - you know.

[they are! There it is, in all it's book-y glory]

[takingkarabusiness]

It helps to have someone else who understands. I don't know how my cousin handled it at all.

[beathach]

Mmm. It's - difficult on your own. But hopefully it won't have to be like that anymore.

[takingkarabusiness]

Exactly.

So, let's find some books to read.

[beathach]

Right. So - ice cream recipes? And chemical compounds.

[takingkarabusiness]

[ claps excitedly ]

I'll take the recipes, you take the chemistry.

[beathach]

Are you sure you don't want the chemistry?

[takingkarabusiness]

Pretty sure. If you need anything read fast let me know, though.
