Childish or not, Mono agreed, and it was put in a way that he could at least understand. The truth did suck. Lots of stuff about his situation sucked! So it… was a good way to encompass the entire mess. It sucked.
He nodded, though, as Illyana explained that not understanding your powers could be dangerous. His powers were dangerous, after all. If the truth that had come to light was anything to go by. He didn’t want bad things to happen here, and if learning might help to prevent that? Then he was going to do his best, even if he wasn’t sure how to go about it.
Mono’s shoulders relaxed some, though, at the confirmation that she didn’t think he would be dangerous here at least. The boy latched onto those words as they were meant to be a comfort. Something that made him feel just slightly better about all the unknowns and uncertainties around himself. “Okay…” he nodded, confirming that he believed her.
There was even a vague beginning of something hopeful in his expression at her agreement. It was still tentative at best… But this was Illyana he was talking to. He knew she would try if she said she would, and he at least… felt slightly more comfortable exploring this option with her, since she knew better about his perspective and experience than most. “Thanks, Illyana. Even if I can just… learn how to control some of it better, I’d be less scared, I think…” Mostly, some of that fear might never leave.
