It wasn't unusual for newcomers to be confused or disoriented, but it seemed as though this Brainiac 5's mindset would make things especially difficult for him. That was a somewhat pleasant thought, even if Xelloss probably wouldn't get much from it personally aside from a bit of entertainment.
"Oh, really? Well, there are patients who are simply inclined towards attacking others, even without the Institute controlling them. She might have had that sort of personality, or maybe she was just afraid of you. You do look rather strange with three circles on your head, after all!" Xelloss pointed out without actually pointing at them. "Still, it's completely true. Things you encounter that don't seem to be human are almost certainly going to try to kill you and eat you. Things that appear to be human might also try to kill and eat you. In fact, there's a monster here that imitates the shapes of loved ones, in order to trick people into letting their guards down, now that I think of it."
Xelloss paused to eat another bite. "I don't know exactly how long this has been going on; more than a month, I think. How long do you consider a long time? Many people agree with you, and think that the person responsible has amazing technology! Or magic. It's very funny to me that you should say magic doesn't exist, since I'm fairly sure it does. Couldn't you say that scientific explanations are often used to describe magical circumstances?" As for his own rank, considering that the title 'Brainiac 5' meant nothing to him, he was more than happy to let the young man imagine whatever position he liked in comparison to Xelloss.
