Alric raises an eyebrow at that, but politely plays like he didn't catch the reference. "...mm. I suppose my situation is... especially peculiar, in that respect. Of my grandfather, my father and mother... well... my step-mother, properly... and my half-brother, none are mutants. But while they couldn't always help me, they did far more for me than I can express, and I've never felt... outcast, at least, among them."
He pauses a moment, chewing on that, as though there's a caveat or a half-truth to it--but he continues on without elaborating on what that might have been at all.
"...I know well, also, how dangerous I could be--how dangerous, in truth, I am, even with all the discipline I learned from my grandfather. I can understand well why it would be terrifying. ...the question of how far the liberties of the individual extended when they intersect with the safety of the community is... politically and philosophically a difficult one."
He flashes a sheepish little smile.
"...my apologies, once I get started..." He trails off, since the implication's obvious, and he's making an effort at brevity, now that he's a little more focused.
