[toastpaste: was a thing while she was unconscious][just continuing to not give her access to food other than toastpaste seems like Obviously the Wrong solution to preventing further refeeding syndrome problems][no solution at all would also be bad][explaining relevant things and letting her make her own choices: Obvious Correct solution to most problems it could be considered a solution to at all]

That is the thing she's been confused about; now she's skeptical instead.

...The part where they want her to be able to make informed choices?

The part where they want that, yes.

Well. They do.

A lot of people don't and wouldn't; if that weren't the case, it would have been safe to take her to a hospital. But mutants aren't looked on so much better than the mentaly atypical that they don't have a little perspective on the subject. 

[Mutants?]

[People like you and me. Who are different. I can talk in your head and keep your heart from battering itself to death against your ribcage and Emily can make metal dance to her will and you can make balls of light. Because we're mutants. Not every mutation is so beneficial; many are neutral anomalies, like my aunt's blue skin, and a few are disadvantages, but we're all different.]

[Okay.]

[Not every mutant is a good person though. My dad--there was another mutant who--well. It was bad.]

She doesn't exactly seem surprised.

[And the ways in which it was bad--well.

I would kill myself with a rusty spatula before I let myself be anything like him.]

[Sorry.]

She settles back down.

[I don't usually ...talk... to people.]

[By preference or necessity?]

[Both. More the second one.]

[If you don't want to talk, that's fine. If you want to, that's also fine.]

[This is okay, I'm just not very good at thinking of things.]

[That makes sense.]

[I can do another thing, too, but I don't know what it is yet.]

[Oh, cool. Powers don't necessarily have much to do with each other; my dad knows someone who's a telepath, like me, but she can also turn into diamond.]

[Yeah. It's something with imagining things.]

[Huh...maybe I'd be better able to help if I remembered manifesting my own abilities.]

[I will probably get it eventually. The balls weren't hard to figure out.]

[Yeah. I don't think I've ever heard of someone not figuring something like that out eventually.]
