[ Taking her hand back, since she supposes it isn't going to do anything special after all, she looks Lloyd flatly in the eye. ]
It's a curse thing. I was aging normally before that. Now I just age on the inside. I gotta be at least a million in "over it" years.
[ Taking a seat back where she was, she picks up the old Jaguar pendant and twirls the little chain around her finger, only to let it fling off into the chaos that is the rest of her messy, hoarded room. She'll get rid of it properly later (if she can find it again). ]
...I was uncontrollable back then. Sure as hell couldn't manage a city... I could barely manage breakfast. But I thought, eh... embracing it was what I was supposed'ta do, and it turned me into a monster. That's what we're tryin' to avoid. Learnin' to take control of it is different than giving in, so that's what I'm angling to teach you. So if you had anger management problems before, well: welcome to therapy, lad. Congrats.
