[If you happen to pass by a certain abandoned barn this evening, you can't help but hear the not so dulcet tones of both a violin and a guitar being played one after the other, again and again. The musician doesn't seem to be playing a particular song, just making a lot of noise

*pushing the barn door open*

Vanya?

[mind_over_metal]

I would consider it to be a privilege.

[00_07]

Um, how would you help me? Would you need a lab like Hargreeves? I don't like his lab.

[mind_over_metal]

*shakes his head*

I want to teach you, not study you. And it seems that you've already found as good of a classroom as any.

[00_07]

I have?

[mind_over_metal]

Here we are, aren't we? And the most important, essential part of this discovery is you.

If you'll let me, I'd like to take a look. I might be able to find some clues about your powers and how you can access them. But I'll need to go into your mind to do so.

[00_07]

You can go into my mind?

[mind_over_metal]

*and though her mind processes the thought of hearing Charles speaking to her, he just sits there, not saying a word*

I can. It's one of my particular skills. I'm a telepath.

[00_07]

W-wow! That's amazing!

[mind_over_metal]

It's what I am, the same as you are what you are.

So. If you'll let me, I can see what I can find. If there's anything that you really don't want me to see, you can just think of a wall blocking it, and I'll know that you don't want me looking there. I promise to be careful.

[00_07]

So, um, if I'm keeping someone's secret, I should block it or you'll find out about it?

[mind_over_metal]

I'll do my best to judge what's relevant to your abilities and our training, so I won't be near anything unrelated. But if you sense me approaching a secret, yes, indicate that to me.

[00_07]

Okay. I'll remember to do that.

[mind_over_metal]

*motions to her to come closer*

For this sort of exploration, I'll probably need some physical contact.

[00_07]

[tentatively offers him her hand]

We can hold hands? I like holding hands.

[mind_over_metal]

*patiently*

I'm searching your mind, Vanya.

*lifts up a hand and holds it toward the side of her head, pausing and looking to her for permission to continue*
