Iris watches Wilhelm struggle to find an answer, and he remembers being there too, once, wondering at details as if the details themselves could explain why he can do what he can do, what he is the way he is, why others might have had an issue with that.
"When I first started to really use my powers, I didn't care how I did anything, just so long as I could."
He smiles at the little waving tendril, reaching out to wriggle his finger in return. It continues to be an unconscious thing, reaching out where he should maybe spare a second thought; this time he doesn't even stop to wonder where the rest of his finger goes, when the two connect at the tip. No fear, no hesitation. This is Wilhelm, right? Just another part of him. Who cares about unexplained?
"So I just did, as much as I could, even when everybody else told me to stop."
He looks up, hoping to snag Wilhelm's eye. A corner of his mouth turns up, his dark eyes catching some nearby light.

"It feels good, right? Just... letting yourself be."
