Jean, yes. Though, frankly, she well exceeds me in every way.
[ It sounds entirely overblown. And she may lack his level of control, true enough. But he still very sincerely believes it. Knows it in many respects when her powers exceed anything he can properly wrap his mind around. The girl is an enigma. He's always known she was special...he's just only finding out now how much so. ]

[ Just sayin. ]
Not really. She's the telepath, right? Like you?

As long as she's okay with us, I don't see the problem.
[ He hates having to put it out there like that but it is a concern. He almost feels like the person coming in to be a step parent or something. ]

After all, I know you deserved a say in this too.
