--what?

[thexfactor]

Nothing.

I should be going.

[grandstanding]

Miles, what's going on.

[thexfactor]

I think -- I know one of my skills are back. It's making it difficult. I think.

[grandstanding]

What skill?

[thexfactor]

The one where I could read minds.

[grandstanding]

[comprehension]

Is that why you keep changing the subject? You're answering what I'm thinking?

[thexfactor]

I'm not entirely used to it and to me, it doesn't sound different.

[grandstanding]

[How can it not...?]

Well, at least you've gotten it back.

[thexfactor]

Yes, that and a headache.

[grandstanding]

Should I-- well, do you need some space?

[thexfactor]

No, it's fine. It's not your fault. It's not anyone's fault, really. I'll just have to learn how to control it.

[grandstanding]

I don't see why skills can't come back with the ability to use them properly too.

[thexfactor]

Well, this skill is unusual.

[grandstanding]

No more than the one of mine you showed me.

[thexfactor]

What I mean is that it's more mental? It's difficult to control something that's in your thoughts.

[grandstanding]

I'm not arguing that, but I don't see how it's any more strange than lifting submarines or turning into animals.

[thexfactor]

It just feels different. It's hard to explain, I suppose.

[grandstanding]

I'm sure.

[thexfactor]

Maybe I should be alone. It'll be easier for everyone.

[grandstanding]

[That's stupid.]

Not for you.

[thexfactor]

It might be, for me. And it's not stupid if I can't control it.

[grandstanding]

You need to learn how, not separate yourself so you don't have to.

[thexfactor]

And how long will that take?

[grandstanding]

As long as it has to.
