Jaden did his best to give a small smile, despite his nerves. He knew Wyrd Haven was around somewhere, but he didn't know it was near here. He took her extended hand and shook it, "I'm Jaden," he replied. He then thought for a moment. Was she being serious about all of that? She seemed like the kind of person who didn't have much of a reason to lie about stuff like that, but then again, Jaden had only been out being social for a very short while. In fact, most of the time he sat alone at lunch. He just didn't really didn't know much more about how to make friends than things he had seen on tv.
He hadn't noticed, but he was halfway through his last piece of pie. He must have been eating it absentmindedly, hopefully not too fast. Just because the girl seemed to be favorable of mutants, he wasn't sure how much he could trust that yet. "I was actually just in the area," he had finally chosen as his reply to being near Wyrd Haven. A very true statement, all be it a little deceiving.
"You really think mutants are awesome?" It was a statement that he hadn't heard before from someone who was not powered. It was also a statement that Jaden figured could be a good disarming statement if she were lying, so he chose to continue sidestepping the power question.
