[Billy lowers the book to rest the bottom of it against his chest so that it's at a more easy reading level and scrutinizing the chapter in front of him. Good grief, Teddy, did you dig through the library's science department and find his dad's university textbooks or something...?]

Well. Have no fear, young Padawan, because your boyfriend happens to have been raised by doctors. [He pauses, then adds somewhat mildly,] And before anyone can point out that psychology has nothing to do with medical science, she also has the title of "mom" which makes her equally qualified. Now let's see if we can turn this into English.

[He brushes the tips of his fingers over the words, brows furrowing.]

Okay, you know how your body has its own electrical current, right? Atomically. Static electricity and all that. This is just saying that because your body's full of that current, it's really easy to get hurt when we get hit by more electricity than our body normally produces.

[He pauses for a moment to think again, then smiles faintly.]

So basically we're electric-types, but our weakness is electric attacks.
