Xaviers!

"Well, it's only people that piss me off. Though I am trying to get better all around," he said. The injury was gone, only the greenish sap that was his blood remained on his... Wait, had his jacket grown back too?"'

"Oh. Well... I'm sorry I blasted you." she apologizes again, just in case. "Do you need to have that looked at or... wait, how's... is the jacket part of you!?"

"It is. A handy use of my powers is that I can grow my own clothes."

"Isn't that... kinda like walking around naked?"

"Only in the strictest sense. It's not like I'm exposed or anything. Though I would still have to bundle up for cold weather."

"Well no, you're not indecent or anything but doesn't it... feel exposed?"

"Strangely no. It's more... energizing... having the sun touch as much as it can, and feeling the soil under my feet. It feels... right."

"Well, good for you. That sounds... nice?"

"It's definitely helping me get used to being..." he said, motioning to his body, "... this."

"Yeah, I can't even imagine."

"It's soothing. I was angry when my body was changing. Now, I'm starting to feel almost bloody liberated.

"But enough about me. I, uhh, see your powers are difficult to control," he said without judgment.

"Oh. Y-yeah, it's... a bit much. Like it spills out at the slightest provocation. Except it's not a spill, it's more one of those pressure washers."

"You know... maybe one of the various boffins wandering the halls could think of something to help."

"What... what's a boffin?"

"That's British for a practitioner of the scientific arts," he answered.

Amy squints a little. Why did British slang have to be so impenetrable that she can't tell if he's pulling her leg. She finally settles on it being an actual term.

"Mostly they just told me to practice. And it's not like this place hasn't been helpful!" she quickly interjects herself. "But it hasn't been as much or as easy as I'd hoped, I guess."

"Nothing that matters is, or so people say. Of course, saying that doesn't help anything. Sadly, trial and error is all we really have. Though my powers never came with a risk of causing an explosion. But, hey, that's what the Danger Room is for."
