Um, hi?

[mind_over_metal]

This isn't 1942.

[00_07]

No, um, it's a lot later than that. Are you lost?

[mind_over_metal]

Just exploring. Is there anywhere you think I shouldn't go?

[00_07]

It's October. You shouldn't be anywhere by yourself. I'm not allowed to go out alone at all. And, um, aren't you afraid?

[mind_over_metal]

No. And I'm fine on my own. Who doesn't allow you to go out?

[00_07]

Everyone. I'm not very strong. At least, not yet.

[mind_over_metal]

Well, if you need someone to go out with you so that you're not alone, you can ask me.

*holds out a hand to her in what might be rather familiar gesture*

I'm Charles Xavier.

[she tentatively shakes his hand, and along with her realizing who he is, there are also thoughts of how stupid she was to not realize it before]

Oh. Um, I'm Vanya Hargreeves. And you don't have to stay with me if you don't want to. I can find my way back to the Sunny.

[mind_over_metal]

Oh! We know each other!

[00_07]

We do. You're usually older.

*nods*

Leto told me. I would've figured it out myself eventually, but it was nice of him to spare me the trouble.

You're glad that you know? I usually try to keep it a secret. Sometimes people get upset when they turn into kids.

[mind_over_metal]

I'd rather know than have everyone try to lie to me the entire time. It's pointless, I know when people are lying.

[00_07]

I wouldn't lie. I just wouldn't tell you. That's different. Lying is the worst.

[mind_over_metal]

People do it all the time. Even when they don't mean to. It's just how they are.
