Kevin takes a pointed look at his clothing and then at her. "I can't hide my mutation." He points out. The minute someone asks why he's always covered and shies away from physical contact, they're going to figure it out. And he's not going to lie. What's the point of lying about it?

Plus, there's the whole "dissolves organic material" thing that he has to deal with on a daily basis. He can't even wear the same clothing as everyone else.

"So, I was dragged to another universe by an entity, from a jail cell?" He wants to be sure that he's got it right. Because it seems a little far fetched, even though he knows some of the things that the senior X-Men have been through.
