Ryan placed his hands on his hips, shaking his head with a sigh, "Come on you two, it's not right to scare them while they're so new. Halloween isn't for months!" He replied, glancing between Logan and Amelia. Personally, he thought that it was important to put out a welcoming aura to students, especially since so many mutants had gone through traumatic events as a result of their powers. Once they knew that the people here didn't have any plans to hurt them, then anything within ordinary bounds was fair game, but it was important to him that any students knew that Xavier's school wasn't like any of the places they'd been before. Places that had neglected, feared, or hated them because of their abilities. Some places were worse than others, and he knew that not all students came from horrific circumstances, but plenty of them did. Sometimes, it lead to serious psychological issues, such as in Laura. He felt absolutely terrible for the girl, who, from what he understood, had been so traumatized by the anti-mutant sentiments of a particular fringe group that she barely spoke. Neither her nor Logan could be considered as talkative people, and Ryan wasn't exactly interested in trying to pry the secrets from either of them.
In responds to his students, Ryan nodded with a thoughtful frown. "That's good to hear, from both of you," he said taking off his nice blue-grey overcoat off and folding it over one arm. They'd pass his room on the tour, and he'd just toss it in from the doorway so he wouldn't have to wear or carry it the whole time. He worried about Jo a little, noting that her quiet and unobtrusive nature might lead to her being glossed over by the other students in favor of her more...exciting to behold peers. One student had wings, and bright green skin, while two of the X-Men, one of them a teacher were blue and furry. Others were perfectly comfortable with showcasing their abilities to anyone who would see them. Those that weren't were generally exceedingly talkative, typically owing to years of social ostracization finally coming to an end.
He turned his head to watch as Piotr, giant and muscle bound young man that he was, barreled past him after Amelia, both of them going to meet up with the new arrival. "Well, they're certainly in a hurry," he said quietly. He wondered what all the fuss was about. Maybe there was someone important stopping by, or perhaps it was just the Professor, needing help up the stairs into the front of the mansion...
Wait a minute.
In order to get into the front door of X-Mansion, a given person would have to walk up around seven or eight steps. The professor had been in a wheelchair since his mid 20s. Up until he'd founded the school, how the hell had he gotten in and out of his own house? McCoy had lived here longest, out of the other X-Men, Ryan would absolutely have to ask him the next chance he got.
Wolverine's words snapped him out of his thoughts, back to the present moment. Ryan nodded in response, waving him along, "No problem, I got this," he said, turning back to the students. The moment Colt walked through the door, he clapped his hands together in an attempt to gather the attention of those nearby. "So, let's get started on that tour!" He exclaimed, "You can come too, if you want," he said, turning his head over to the pyrokinetic who had just walked into the mansion.
Regardless of the mansion's new resident firestarter's answer, Ryan would wheel about on one heel, pointing down a hallway with an over-dramatic flourish. "At the end of this hallway, we'll hit one of the building's many spiral staircases. While the bannisters are in fact strong enough to support your full weight, we've had several students severely injure themselves sliding down them, and I have to request that any of you refrain from doing so, unless you're sufficiently durable as a result of your mutations," he began, gesturing for the students to head up the stairs, "At the top, we'll find some of the interesting stuff, like the various offices/dorm rooms, which we're passing because I want to drop off my coat before we get started for real," he explained, "but, it also gives you guys the chance to find your rooms, along with the second-floor bathrooms in case you've got to use the little mutant's room during the night," he continued with a wide, charming smile. "Once everybody's gotten a good view of the rooms up here, we'll head back downstairs and I'll show you guys the various classrooms, and maybe introduce you to some of those scary 'X-Men' you hear about on TV, if we happen to run across any of them on our little adventure,"
