"If I panic, I don't know my limits. When that happens I don't even know how not to use my powers. So I really want to learn more control. I know it takes time, I just... I don't want to hurt anyone, ever." It's frightening, but he's hopeful. If she can do all these amazing things, then maybe he can learn, too. Ilya doesn't have to or want to be the best telekinetic to ever live. He'll settle for being safe to be around and being able to use his powers in a way that helps people.
He bites his lip. He and Dolemeck had talked and Ilya had promised he'd say something to Headmistress Ramsey. But SHIELD didn't have much information from when he was in the gulag on file. Incidents between prisoners were only recorded if they resulted in murder and last Ilya checked he was very much alive. Ilya bites down harder, drawing blood. His healing factor patches it up quickly. He does it again.
...it's too humiliating. He can't talk to the Headmistress. She's too high above him, too dignified, too important to come to with ghosts of his past. So he just nods and puts on a fake look that says 'I'm fine'.
