"Well, personally I prefer a little conversation when I'm dining with company."

Hank chuckles and adjusts his glasses. "But far be it for me to interrupt, Logan."

"I'm just mystified by the amount of data and research I could compile! Shi'ar. Kree. Skrull. Brood. And more!"

Hank chuckles and shrugs. "I...that sounds bit pleasant. Not being treated as such a...well. an oddity."

Hank smiles.

"Oh, well, through a very carefully managed fur maintenance routine. And a lot of trial and error. I've found the perfect combination of shampoos, conditioners, and trimming patterns to keep myself relatively maintained."

"Ah -- my apologies. I'll keep that in mind, for next time."

Hank smiles. "Really? That's...very kind of her. And very much appreciated, from you. Ororo is a good friend -- and I know she values the friendship of your family deeply. She speaks of you often."

"Yes, I'm sure it is. Unfortunately, there's not many here at the mansion who has the same proficiency in the arcane arts as you do, Illyana. I'd offer what I could, but...as you know, I'm much more of a man of science."

He shrugs. "-- but we'll need science and sorcery to fix this problem."

"Indeed. I know you've been at the forefront of this 'quantum entanglement' business. I don't envy you, with such a daunting task. And while I know Reed Richards and Tony Stark are helping, don't forget that you have your own Mutant genius for help too."

He chuckles and grins.

"Of course. I would me never insult you by not bringing my all."

Hank saw himself as more of a man of reason over force, but he was still very strong, dextrous, and tough.

"Indeed. Though its been some time since we've conversed, to be quite honest."

"Hah! Personally, I'd do my best to avoid a confrontation with you, Illyana. Symbiote or not. Except, perhaps, during some training in the Danger Room."

He nods. "From what a web-swinging friend has told me, Venom is...very unique, even for a Symbiote pair."

"Hmm. I've never actually bonded with a Symbiote of Kylntar before. I...have to admit. I am a bit curious if it would add anything to my, uh...dimensions. If I should be bonded with one."

Hank clears his throat. "Maybe it's something with Venom's unique bond."

Hank blinks behind his glasses.

"You need to know more about...why the Symbiote bond calling themselves Venom has given themselves such a...uh. Large...rear?"

"Hmm. An interesting inquiry! Perhaps the Symbiote simply adds additional mass to make itself larger and more imposing. Or, perhaps, their host subconsciously, uh...desires a greater curvature. So to speak. And the Symbiote provides it!"
