[It's a second before Hank responds, or does anything but just process the fact that he didn't just go down and split his head open. But once he does he all but scrambles to move back, tripping and stumbling as he does it. Which makes him look like an asshole, but if his power decides to turn on the other guy would probably like that even worse. Telepathy is a hell of a pain when you don't know if it's going to turn on and when, those times it does, all it does is send along emotion, and when it seems an awful lot like the only emotions it ever sends are shitty ones.
He doesn't know if the shaky hands, pounding head, and rolling stomach would translate - probably not - but the frustrated misery, the twitching need to do something, anything, that might. He hopes it doesn't turn on at all and he just comes off looking like a clumsy asshole for no reason. The first time the whole stupid power thing ever happened was with a robot and he doesn't know this guy at all but the memory of that other time, how bad it'd gone, makes Hank scramble to put some distance between them. It might work, it might not, Hank might not be too coordinated with the floor covered in water, too - but he's trying anyway.]
Fuck, uh- thanks. Sorry. Sorry. You good to get up there? It's kinda... slippery. You know.
