*with a bit of a friendly chuckle*

Now that's a bit of a leading question. What brought this on?

[mind_over_metal]

*with a sudden sternness*

Never think that it's your fault for what another person chose to do to you. Magneto is a big boy and can take care of himself.

[00_07]

But I asked him to train me. I wanted his help.

[mind_over_metal]

You asked him to train you. He chose how to do it. And even if you had specifically asked him to hurt you, he could have chosen not to.

Believe me, it's good to take responsibility for things. And sometimes you have to take care of things that shouldn't be your responsibility. But another part of growing is developing the ability to discern what truly is your responsibility. And the ball was in Magneto's court this time.

[00_07]

He did something wrong, but I'm not really mad at him. Is that weird?

[mind_over_metal]

A little bit, perhaps. But it's understandable. He was sincerely trying to help you. His... methods could just use some serious improvement.

[00_07]

I need to set boundaries and tell him what I want my training to be like. That's what people told me to do. And, um, they also said I shouldn't talk to him alone...

[mind_over_metal]

*a pause before he prods gently*

...yes, Vanya?

[00_07]

If, um, you're not mad at me will you go with me when I talk to him?

[mind_over_metal]

Vanya, we've already established that I'm not mad at you. And remember: if you had difficulty coming out and asking me for something just now, you need to be prepared for how you're going to ask things of Magneto.

And yes, I will go with you.

[00_07]

You will? You don't mind? If you're there it will be a lot easier to ask him to change my training.

[mind_over_metal]

...possibly, possibly not. Well, it might be easier to ask him, at least. Negotiating an agreement out of him is another story.

[00_07]

He won't listen to me?

[mind_over_metal]

He's very, very stubborn. And I'm not sure how my being there will affect things.

[00_07]

... but I don't want to go by myself and I don't think anyone else will go with me. I-I want you to come. I'm persistent. Maybe I'll convince him.

[mind_over_metal]

You shouldn't go by yourself. Not for now, at least. And I've already told you that I'll go with you. I'm just also informing you that you should be prepared for potentially creating a new set of difficulties because of it.
