Shawn had not expected for Heidi to come out like that and actually talk to him. He didn't know her all that well, but he knew what she could do and what she was capable of. Her brain pretty much saw the future with how many outcomes she could think of for any kind of case. Like his own power, hers didn't stop. She probably thought of everything an infinite amount of times. Always thinking, always worried that your actions are going to give the world the bad ending, he thought it was pretty scary. 

That was why he was so surprised by her coming up to talk to him. Though he was initially speechless, long enough so for her to quickly walk away from him and go elsewhere, Shawn decided to go after her and say something in return. He didn't want to scare her with his own appearance, so he tried to calmly restart the one-sided conversation once he deemed enough time had passed. 

"Um, Heidi." He started out in a quiet fashion, something not to common for the normally outgoing and "brave" Shawn In. "Thanks for apologizing to me. I know you don't really talk much to people, but it means a lot to see you doing that. It's fine, anyways," He shrugged and looked around. "I was just a little grumpy from a sudden wake-up."

"Heidi." Booker nodded at the girl as he and Christopher went on their way. He had heard her apology, not that he could really understand what had happened. Maybe she'd tell him some day. However, he did want to congradulate her for calming down and focusing in the now like he had asked her to. For now, he could continue to usher Christopher along to Karma's office. 

Karma had her own office on the other side of the foyer, closer to where all of the other classrooms were than the Professor's study. She didn't really care to be in the big crowds of people, and normally stuck to her office between classes. 

As polite as Booker always was, he knocked on the door first. He knew that she wasn't the kind to respond to his knocking, and let himself and the young man inside. 

"Booker." Her eyes didn't leave the note that she was writing. "Are you here on report? Or something else?"

Booker smiled and shook his head. "No, Karma. This is Christopher Harris. The son of the mining company owners." He motioned for the boy to step forward, while he himself took one back. "He just arrived and needs help getting the last of his things set up."

There was a small pause. Karma had set down the fountain pen in her hand and looked up to view the two men in her presence. Booker was a sight for sore eyes among the wild students gallivanting around with their mutations. Someone who knew nuance. "Well, thanks for bringing him by way. Ororo would have just brought him to me, so cutting out the middle man in this saves us some time."

Booker nodded and took a step to the side. He briefly bowed to Christopher. "This is where we part ways for now. Maybe you'll be seeing me during a period, maybe you'll come asking for help. My door is always open, Mister Harris." And with that, he stepped out of the room to go and have a word with his guest of honor.
