“Hmm, is it unique to the person who created it?" If not, how was it actually that safe? "Size is most often skill based.” There was a slight pause as she took in his expression change. Had whatever occured to him bothered him? "Leave the oven on? Or the water running?" Her own expression darkened at the mention of knowing others who had experienced similar abductions. "Depending on what they went through, perhaps returning isn't for the best." It changed a person and then they rarely recovered. She often wondered if she had even begun to recover from it. Perhaps staying wherever they were taken to was the better alternative to facing the people you loved as a different being.
Depending on the mess, it could be exciting. It all depended on how fun it could be. Giant monsters weren't much of a thing after you faced Elder beings. She was pretty sure she could handle a summoning gone wrong or something like that. "I think he just likes to think of the worst scenario and go with it." Personally, she had wondered if he just liked to be right. Or if he liked being the hero so he wanted everyone to know he'd tried to make it safe.Either way he seemed like something of a killjoy. She leaned in a little at the comment about the students. "One of your students? Unruly?" Or just too powerful to deal with well?
"Do you not get paid back in your world? Or did you spend it all on a marble of reality?" Either one would probably be amusing. Though she had been reminded that she didn't even really know how much teachers back home got paid. If they even got anything beyond just some small stipend. Or maybe they were just told they could use all the facilities and kitchen for free. They got a small amount of money on the New Mutants for being on a team. Maybe it was something like that. Money hadn't really been much of a concern for her.
"So, you're old and started out studying magical rocks? Then got some really impressive students?" Did that sound like a good summary? Even if it wasn't she sure looked pleased with herself over it. "And a modest one. Or you just don't have talent yourself so you settle for knowing you helped them." If Jagger was here he'd probably inform her of the fact that she might have gone a little far there. He wasn't though, so it didn't even occur to her.
