[Hank looks down at himself, mentally preps to not walk but swim. He can almost pretend he's above ground when he's just staying still and talking, but moving kind of means he has to switch gears. He pushes off the rock behind him, coughs - thinking about swimming means he's thinking about breathing, too, you're supposed to have to hold your breath when you swim - and tries to focus on what they're talking about, instead. Looking at the kid would make that easier so Hank goes slow enough in whatever random direction that he's headed that he doesn't have to look where he's swimming, clearing his throat.]
Superhero school put you in a lot of 'worse' situations than this, then?
[He doesn't bother to try to sound neutral, there. No, he doesn't approve, and yes, he has enough shit on his plate that he doesn't give a shit about showing it.]
