Just checking. [You know, because these kinds of things need checking.
He does as told, metaphorically placing himself wholly in Brainy's hands. It's not that Dixon's a trusting person at all, it's more just that he's been manhandled by doctors and his mother since getting the burns a few weeks ago and then another round again after getting his face beat to hell, and doesn't have any fight left in him around that particular issue. He just wants a little relief.
And, truth be told, little kindnesses like this are not going unnoticed by Dixon anymore. If anything, he's started looking for them, holding onto them, taking acts of generosity and gentleness like lifelines and nooses, saving in their ability to restore some faith in things, murderous in his ability to feel unworthy of them. He wasn't expecting to find it in Brainy but he takes it to heart that he does.]
Are these alien technology that'll zap the skin back together or something? [He just had a conversation with Revan where she said she was from a world in the year 20,000 something, so God only knows what the guy who looks like an evident alien is packing.]
