"Speed", Matt deadpanned with a hand to Mohinder's shoulder. Standing? Standing. Awesome. He turned more fully towards Daphne, feeling skeptical.
Daphne had a smile that was very crooked, something Matt found both a little charming and kind of unnerving. It was the kind people held over other people. But Molly was relaxed and even a little excited since super speed was really pretty cool and Daphne was probably the closest to her age in the entire facility after Tabitha.
But still, she was a stranger to Matt.
"It's okay!" Molly said like she too was a mind reader and went right over to Daphne, standing on her toes to look at what she was holding. "Do you have the one about the horses?"
It was that level of familiarity that had Matt finally relent, but he still didn't quite like it. Daphne tilted her head at him sort of expectantly and he gestured vaguely ather.
"Yeah, fine. Tell me where you're staying, I'll pick her up. Deal?"
Daphne leaned back on her feet, then sort of bounced that movement around so she was balancing more on her toes, and she gave up the floor number. "It's the rec room", she said, shrugging. "Lot smaller than this one. Can't miss it, though."
After Mohinder also conceded his okay, they were gone so quickly in a rush of wind that worried Matt even more, but he sighed and moved his hand up Mohinder's back as he went for the elevator.
"Are you always this hopeless around alcohol?" he said in a murmur. He'd had like, a half drink himself, and was only barely fuzzy around the edges.
