"You don't have to talk to Zeus if you wanna wear skirts, you know." Yep. That is what she thinks you mean by pursuing skirts. "There's probably a store with skirts! You could totally get some! It would be fine! I don't really like skirts that much, so I don't really wear them." There's a beat. "Oh. Um. Are you like...like Xavin? Um. They can go between being a girl and a boy! Xavin's pretty awesome!" She reaches over and pats his arm. "It's okay if you want to be a girl, too. Or if you're a boy and you just like wearing skirts." Hopefully that will help make him feel better. Oh!!! "Um. Should I not use boy pronouns for you?"
There's a slight squint of confusion. "But it's not a freezer. It just keeps things cool!" This is more complicated. Victor or Chase would probably explain this better.
"No. I mean, you could go to the theater, but we don't really go that often. Just sometimes!"
She shrugs. "I dunno. I just read whatever I have to for school mostly." She's good at school, but she doesn't have too many actual books. But she does like the Nancy Drew books. Those are fun!
"Well, there's Elementary school, which is from Kindergarten to fifth grade. Then middle school, which is six through eighth grade. I'll get to high school eventually, but I'm only thirteen." Which is actually pretty old cause she was eleven two years ago when they became the Runaways. Lots has happened since then, so it's felt like a really long time.
"They're a crime fighting team. Everyone's a mutant. But there's not as many after they started dying out. Which sucks." A beat. "I don't mean mutant in a bad way. It's just their genes are mutated and it gives them powers! So they call themselves mutants." She's one, too, but she's not going to tell him that. "I had to live with them for a while, but then I ran away."
She listens to him quietly for a moment. "Um. So tell them to shut up and do something else. They can't make you. It's like they teach at the schools. Say No to Drugs. Or...well...in this case, peer pressure."
