But he's not going to do a movie timeline Storm 'You should be proud'. Because a man who's the most intelligent and probably most powerful person on earth, while his power has its flaws, is a lot more fortunate that someone who turns into a massive wolf-thing. He'll just try to help her become comfortable with herself however he can.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Well, she's already on the "hating herself" boat. After all, she grew up hearing how awful she was even before her powers manifested. After they did, the Reverend raised up the town to hunt her down and try to kill her, viewing her transformation as what he had always believed her to be--an embodiment of sin. He never really let up on that even after Moira took her in and adopted her to protect her, and that's half the reason she sent Rahne to Charles, to get her out of Scotland and away from her father (Moira, and I'd assume Charles, knows the Reverend is her father--Rahne does not). So that ship has sailed, but talks to lessen it and get her to start viewing things more positively can certainly help her.<br/><br/>Charles is also a busy man though. I'd assume there'd be times he can't meet with her, and that's when she might be encouraged to go see one of the others, like Jean or Legion or someone else to not-talk to?<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=261903.msg12919597#msg12919597">Quote from: Vergil Tanner on 20-01-2017, 13:32:26</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Fair enough...but Margaret would let her get comfortable in her silence first, and then start talking (through a type and talk, since she can't speak in anything except tongues) almost to herself about her powers and how it must feel to want to be rid of them, etc etc. Just fill up the time with useful advice disguised as random chatter. ;) <br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Well...if she just speaks in tongues...that doesn't exactly do Rahne any good :P She's not going to understand a thing, for one as that's largely random incomprehensible gibberish, and considering the religious context that may come with speaking in tongues, she's likely to think the think Margaret is mocking her. Or, if not mocking her, at least be made uncomfortable enough that she'd likely not return after an initial meeting.
