Melissa looked up as Sebastian entered and she smiled happily at him as he told her how thoughts and she invited him to take a seat. She was determined not to let him leave here with the same mindset. "I know how you feel." She said first, but gathered he'd think she was just trying to make him feel better. "No, really. My very first time trying to mentor a student went so bad, they set the room on fire." She laughed softly and shook her head. "I didn't expect you to get it right the first time, no one does. I didn't pick you because you can control your powers, a majority of people here can do that. I picked you because you have a genuine interest in helping people. 

I think you did better today than any mentor ever has on their first day, up until you left. Most people will sit there and they'll be too afraid to say or do anything, too busy focusing on me they hardly pay any attention to their pupils. But you asked her questions, you touched her. It was dangerous, yes, given how volatile she is, but it paid off. Even Grace was surprised at herself, you didn't see how happy she was the rest of the session." She shrugged slightly as she leaned forwards a little bit. "She likes you." The woman told him with a smile. "If you really don't want to do this then that's okay, but at least don't give up on Grace as a friend. I think she needs someone like you, who will push the boundaries a little."
