If this boy weren't so young and so jaded for one so young, he might have taken offense. As it is, he simply nods, keeping his hands in front of him and withdrawing his presence from the lad's mind. "Yes. I know how it must sound, given what you have seen and endured. But is it not also necessary? These are perilous times for our people."

Exodus speaks on, his voice rising. "I believe I do not have to tell you, of all people, of the peril that I speak of. You have seen it and faced it many times before now. For we who are born different, there is no other way to survive but to come together. Why should you fear me or I fear you? We are brothers, Iggy. Brothers not from the same womb, but of the same birth and the same blood. The X-factor that runs through your blood runs through mine as well."
