She shrugged again. "Well, that particular subject is just private, that's all. And you're not the first person to ask, either."

Paige smiled a little, cheeks still red. "So...nice weather we're having today. Is it usually this warm up 'ere?" She asked.

Her smile widened. "Westchester gets its fair share of warm and cold, I suppose," she told her. Perhaps the change of topic would get her flush to dissipate. "But it really is nice," she added. Holding Abigail to her, she squatted to get another daisy for Abby to play with.

"Oh." She said, smiling a little. "Yeah." She said, nodding in agreement. Shifting on her feet she tried to think of something to talk about.

"Are you excited for the summer?" she asked her curiously, while letting Abby look at the daisy she twirled in her hand.

"I suppose." Paige said with a small smile, "I've always enjoyed the warm weather."

She nodded. "I used to love the cold," she admitted, as though guilty of something. "My skin is thicker, so it's harder for me to be cold, and I used to wear a lot of layers when I was a kid."

Paige couldn't help but look at Mystique's blue skin, in some way they were similiar. If only for the fact that they could both change their skin. "Correct me if I'm wrong, but your power is to change into another person, right?" She asked, looking at Mystique again.

She nodded, her eyes moving from Abigail back to Paige. Normally she'd give a demonstration, but she didn't want to upset Abby. "I can take any kind of humanoid form, and replicate it right down to a fingerprint or retina pattern, as well as certain animals, retaining the same mass," she explained.

Paige couldn't help but be in awe at hearing Mystique's powers, "That's rather...scary." She said before realizing how rude that must've sounded, "Ah mean...not like your powers are bad or anything, just sort of creepy, y'know?" She asked, her southern accent becoming a bit more pronounced now.

She raised an eyebrow slightly. "Creepy like my appearance, or creepy as in so useful you wouldn't notice if I impersonated a friend?"

"Creepy as in how you could impersonate someone like my brother and I wouldn't notice." She said before laughing somewhat nervously.

She shrugged. "I could do that," she admitted. "And I could give you an example, but I don't like to do sudden changes in front of Abigail; she gets fussy." She never thought she'd hear herself say that she didn't want to show off her powers because of her baby. She never thought there'd even be a baby, period. Despite the familiarity of her situation with Abby and Charles, sometimes it still felt so new to her, like she was actually a stranger peering in on someone else's life. Their happy life.

"Oh, it's fine." Paige said, still a bit weary. "I can sort of do something similiar..." She trailed off, not sure if Mystique even wanted to hear Paige talk about her powers.

"Really?" she asked, intrigued. "What can you do?" She was always interested in learning about some of the student's powers. They were all unique and equally fascinating.
