"Children sometimes need that help the most, to feel safe." She knows that she shouldn't feel selfish about asking for Viatorus's help, but she hopes that she isn't taking time away from him that he could use to be helping children. She smiles wistfully. "I wish we had someone with your powers in our fleet. For the kids, more than anyone."
She relaxes a little, glad that he didn't take her question the wrong way. "You're farther along than some people I know," she says, once he's done answering. Even people who don't have his excuse of a sheltered upbringing. "You probably know more about the brain than I do, I only took an introduction to psychology course. Was there anything you found especially interesting?"
"But you're pretty, too," she replies in honest confusion before adding hastily, "Handsome, sorry." She blushes as well, but it's her own fault for trying to deflect a compliment with an awkward one of her own. Clearing her throat, she tries again. "What I mean is, you aren't any less nice-looking than I am. But, um... you may have a point about your parents. My dad was a lot like me and my mom was always so happy I was seeing someone that she usually welcomed them with open arms. What about your parents would have scared people off? Their magic?"
