>> I'm so happy that Mallory is learning how to knit and that Mira has rediscovered her love of knitting.<<

Crochet in this case, but yeah, it's helping.

>> Paige is serious when she needs to be with the 'paying it forward' but a great listener.<<

Paige is very sociable. She's not very independent, but she's quite good with people.

>> I like how Clement is surprised by Mallory's vehemence to be of use and worried about it in equal turn. <<

Yyyyyeah. Crummy parenting and hanging out with supervillains can give people a very instrumental view of relationships. It's half-true, in that a healthy relationship should balance giving and receiving, but it's expressed in an unhealthy way.

>>I really like how Clement always asks Mallory if she wants him to help with his healing before he does it/touches her.<<

Damage notwithstanding, he has a pretty good set of boundaries.
