Bast crossed his arms, looking seriously at her which almost had to be funny on his little features. "I'm not saying it to be funny. You just don't know how long this might take to wear off or whatever." Though now he was probably going to have to track down Laney. Or see if he could talk Mari into giving him a big hug so he could use it through hers. Really all of these powers could get rather confusing when it came down to it and he couldn't just have one and be done with it all. Maybe just work with fire all the time or be able to play with time like Evan. "I mean you're not exactly alone at home. Your parents, brother, even Cordelia and Johnny I'm going to guess are around occasionally." One of them was more than likely to ask her what a boy was doing in her room.
This was just going to suck though, wasn't it? He was wondering a little if he couldn't just find a way to look like a child genius and get through school and everything in a year. Pass whatever they wanted for high school and try to CLEP as much as he could to get through Hobbs. By the time he looked 14 again he could almost have a legitimate job. Oh god, he wasn't really thinking about this now, was he? "I am so fucked." It was probably one of the few times he had actually sworn in front of Penny, but then she was old enough to not be quite as shocked over such language, right?
