I'm not a tyrannosaurus rex, Al. I'm not going to eat you.

[she appreciates that he's giving her a reason to laugh, though. he's kind like that, even if he doesn't yet know his own strength. maybe she can share a story with him? something she's pretty sure she remembers right.]

Did I tell you about my first day with the new strength? Before I even had muscles to show it off. I fell in the bathroom and tore the towel rack right off the wall. [she smiles, really, really trying not to focus too hard on how she could die if she overuses the powers she has right now.] So be careful around here. Maybe you should let me handle any delicate stuff until you get the hang of things, but hopefully you won't have to deal with it for very long.

[she's. she doesn't know how to fix this. she has no idea. and that doesn't feel great.]
