Ezra gives the man a good look over, expression sullen and posture defensive. But he recognizes the voice as the one who invited everyone here in the first place, so he lets himself loosen up the tiniest bit.
"...Hi."

"I'm Scott Summers. I organized this event. Are you here for tutoring, or just to watch, or get to know people?"
Scott keeps his demeanor friendly. This is a safe place for everyone, no matter what they're here for. Unless, of course, their purpose is to threaten the safety of others. Then they get an laserpunch in the face. But that's not relevant to their conversation, right?

"Usually. I'm a lot stronger in my natural form, and it kind of makes it easier to... keep them under." He fidgets.
"Rain and puddles are fine, but even a bathtub is enough to make me want to do it. I'm really weak in this form though, so as long as you have your feet on the ground it's pretty hard for me to get you in far enough to do anything bad."
