"Uh..." Scaleface said, a little nervous now; "Well... See I turned on the TV and got spooked and I sorta kinda turned into a giant lizard and crushed it all..." she looked down, her explanation as fast as how she spoke it.

"Giant lizard, huh?" Hannah mused, looking Scaleface up and down. It seemed unlikely that the girl would hold that kind of destructive power. But in mutants, you just never could tell. "I've done that before, 'cept I became a dragon."

"It sucks," Scaleface muttered flatly, looking down as she once again scuffed the carpet with her foot; "I'm lucky I didn't breathe fire, too... can you do that? Breathe Fire?"

"Fire, sometimes shoot electricity in dragon form." Hannah said, grinning micheviously. "It was only about a year and a half ago that I developed the power to change into mythical creatures like dragons or unicorns or chimaeras. Don't worry, you're allowed to have accidents with your powers. You won't get in trouble."

"You can change into more than one thing?" Scaleface quipped, still curious. Now she seemed dull and ugly compared to Hannah; "Wow... that's cool."

"Yeah, it seemed boring until I got here and found that most morphers only turned into one thing. I can turn into any animal or mythical creature. And I'm slowly learning how to morph into other people." Hannah smiled kindly. "But it comes with a price. Of course, that kind of power would. Everyday there's a risk that one of my predatory personas will take over and I won't be able to gain control. But, I supress it all the time, even now."

"Oh," Scaleface said, nodding; "Wouldn't you have t' know the anatomy of whatever you're turning into?"

"Not really. I just think of what I want to change into to and then I'm that creature. Normal animals are the easiest, then the mythical creatures, but other people are the hardest." Hannah explained, "And I've learned how to change certain parts of my body, like just my hands." As she spoke, she demonstrated by changing her right hand into a cheetah's clawed paw.

Scaleface nodded, and watched her hand change. It looked... odd, seeing an arm narrow into a paw, but then again, it wasn't odd enough to startle here. Scaleface had seen worse.
"I can't do that," she said, averting her gaze; "Either the whole package or no delivery. How long did it take you, before you could do just that?" she pointed at Hannah's hand.

"I learned how to do it my fifth year at the Institute. It was an accidental discovery. I was playing 'no-powers' soccer with some of the other students and I wished I could go faster, like a cheetah. Next thing I knew, I had claws that helped me get more power with each step." Hannah said as she changed her hand back to normal.

"Cool," Scaleface said, nodding her head and fighting the envy down. Hannah had awesome control, and Scaleface got spooked by TVs... how sad was that?
Without her knowing, her grip tightened on the bag of skittles again, and she heard the crunching plastic and it brought her out of her thoughts; "I should throw this away... then come back and clean this up," she said absently, eyes darting to the door as she thought about leaving.

"Don't worry about it. I'm sure Weaver can perform some of her magic on the couch. We'll just clean it up later." Hannah said calmly. "You'll adjust to everything once you have been her for a while."

"No, I'll do it," Scaleface said, her tone soft but strong; "I made the mess, I'll clean it up. It's not big dea..." Then, giving Hannah a small smile, she then headed for the door, intent on throwing the bag away, and then running off to get a better feel for the place.

Hannah shrugged and started off to whatever work needed to be done. "Suit yourself. If you need me, I'll be up and around the mansion working. Oh and, here." Hannah tossed a watch over to Scaleface. "You'll need that." With that said, she left.
