The young woman seemed to be attempting to remain calm, to appear confident in herself but Jean remembered the young girl that had arrived at the mansion on the heels of Logan, Storm and Scott. She had been young, and scared and unfamiliar with what it meant to be a mutant. Apprehensive of her gift.
The strip of white, that which had marked her hair, was absent; it was all that Jean needed to know, as she looked at Rogue, that this girl was unaware of all that had transpired. That she had yet suffer at the hands of Magneto. That she did not know Jean, not properly.
The telepath smiled softly, wanting to reassure. "Want me to show you around the town?" Jean asked softly, standing close to her but not too close. She did not want to crowd Rogue, and to scare her.
