He almost smiles the moment he feels Wanda relax in her seat. He doesn't need any kind of psychic powers to sense the change in her and to know he's at the root of it. But there's a wonder of how else she expected him to react to her powers, though it's telling of how people usually reacts to her. A shame, no doubt, for the smile on her face truly warms up her demeanor.
Her admission of her reading minds capacities only manages to raise an eyebrow from Stephen:
"Well, I guess that bars you forever from our weekly Tuesday night poker game," he jokes as he leans back in his own chair. Still, his gaze turns a touch serious for a moment:
"I will admit that this is not something I have encountered before, but it will be good training for the both of us. And I think it goes without saying that my thoughts are to stay my own, unless we train that aspect of your powers. I will do my best to answer any questions you might have, but there will be things concerning our dealings as masters of the mystic arts that I will not share with you, not until I decide you are ready to receive them. I ask that you respect that boundary, for your own safety."
Stephen has to admit to himself that having to train a psychic might be more than what he can bargain for, but turning her around because she can read minds is not a viable option in his mind. Not when Wanda clearly needs the help, and the support. He'll have to trust her first, something he doesn't do often, although there's something about her that makes him feel like he can do so.
"One last thing: your...friends, where we are going, they can't come. Not for the moment. Taking one Avenger in isn't a problem, but we can't become a safe house for the rest of them. We can't afford the attention, I'm sorry to say."
He stands, letting the Cloak clip itself on his shoulders before continuing on: "Before you feel like you're entering a cult or something, you're more than welcome to keep in touch with them if you want, I'm not cutting you off from the world. But training requires focus and dedication at the same time."
Stephen moves to politely offering his hand to help Wanda up from her seat: "London is not where we'll be staying, I'm assigned to watch over the New York Sanctum. If the terms I offer you are within your capacity, then we can leave in two hours."
That's enough time for her to say goodbye and pack up what she might want to take with her, right?
