Jaclyn was of a few minds when it can to that charcuterie board: [list] [*]She had already had an early lunch with her sister. However, one could always find room for something from such a spread. The seemingly honeyed fruits and macarons were most drawing her eye - plus that attractive purple something between what looked to her like pepperoni and mozzerella cheese; she's sure she'd never seen that in the fridge before. [*]Could she get away with stashing just a bit in a container for later, without seeming rude? Her years on the streets still hung with her: when there was food around, you stocked up in some way or another, just in case. Plus, Imogene would love this. [*]Helping oneself to something that somebody else prepared not necessarily with you in mind -did Edus commonly assemble this for his + other's enjoyment?- well, there were just things. Social things about that. [/list] In the end, she was given an "out" so to speak, as Edus followed up with a question. Which she answered with a casualness that belied any overthinking just a minute ago. [color=gold]"Oh, yeah. Somebody new came in. Just apparently the way they did caused a bit of a stir."[/color] Jaclyn was about to explain how she'd actually come to grab a sparkling water for the new arrival when Tatl spoke up about not telling her brother, who had apparently made a gluttonous raid of the cookie jar some other time. Jaclyn made an appropriate face: [i]The audacity![/i] [color=gold]"I bet you do,"[/color] she said in response to Tatl insisting she knew what she was doing when it came to flying. In Jaclyn's experience, the one who knew a mutant's limitations the best -excepting Professor Xavier- was the individual mutant themself. Though, there were two kinds of limits; the limit of power, and the limit of personal ability a.k.a. comfort zone. In any case, Tatl [i]was[/i] still very young, and Jaclyn wasn't one to be irresponsible, so she added: [color=gold]"But you know what? Most of the others here have never gone up high. Not on their own steam, anyway. That makes it scary. And since they care about you, well, it just gives them near heart attacks to see you flying high! So it's a good thing you're so respectful listening."[/color] She smiled. Then, getting an idea started to suggest: [color=gold]"Maybe sometime-"[/color] but she wouldn't finish. Just then the others came in - with Max responding to Edus as though he'd seen a ghost --and then, Jaclyn got it. Well, she got that something had happened, anyway.
