Her mind had been so crowded lately, all those voices shouting to be heard and drowning out her own. "I just need a weekend away from everything to do with bein' a mutant."

The corner of her mouth tugged — but couldn't seem to decide if it wanted to move upward or downward, settling instead for a straight line at his question.

"Yeah, it's pretty exhaustin' havin' the minds of basically everyone you've ever touched trapped inside your brain," she answered a little snarkily before softening. Kind of. "That's my power. I have skin to skin contact with ya and I get your memories, a little of your life force, and ya get to sleep for awhile. If I touch ya for too long..." she never liked thinking about that, let alone verbalizing it.

She softened a little more. It wasn't like it was his fault he didn't know. "It's not really somethin' I can take a vacation from."

Head tilted to the side, Peter slipped his thumbs into the belt loop of his pants as he nodded his head in understanding.

"It... It's exhausting, I take it? I- uh. Do-do you mind me askin' what your ability is? You totally don't have to answer it if you don't want to, though!" Biting his lower lip with a grimace at how callous he might have just sounded, because really?

'She just said she needed to be away from that part of her life, and you decide to ask her about it without thinking, Peter? Come on!' He mentally scolded himself before giving her an apologetic smile, various shades of red coloring his cheeks at his fumble.
