Believe me, I consider myself very lucky. I'm just not so sure this is the result of 'good' luck. Not entirely sure it's bad luck, either, maybe it's somehow both.
Eh, no such thing as "good or bad". It's all just all just a roll o' the dice, this decision over that one, an' every other wee thing that'll make us a hero or a villain ta the world. As if we'd ever get a bloody say in the matter.
[Jean is quiet as she listens to him speak, nodding slowly in understanding as the corners of her lips twist into a smile.] Thank you. That actually helped. Always helpful to have someone knock some common sense into you.
Always a pleasure, luv. Most wouldn't know it ta look at me, but I've learned a thing or two about power an' choices. How the world sees us, an' all o' that self-examination bollocks.
[After all, David spent most of his teen years as an unintentional villain, a prisoner of powers he couldn't hope to control. Spending time in Tibet as the guest of Merzah the Mystic helped put a lot of that part of his life in perspective, too.]
Helps when your da is the closest thing mutantkind has to a bloody living saint. Big shoes to fill, you know?
Oh, trust me. I know better than to judge a book by its cover. What's on the surface never reflects what's beneath it.
[Kind of amazing what getting away from all the craziness can do for the mind, body, and soul, isn't it? Jean had a similar experience in the White Hot Room. Tibet seems like a much better plan plan than death, though. She'll have to try that some time.]
