"Hmm... that must have been nice." A bit distantly. Surely humans didn't face the same baseless prejudice that ZEX had, so they probably didn't disown members of their family over minor differences in opinion. It was really their loss though, as far as ZEX was concerned. If someone didn't like who he was or what he did, than it was their problem, not his. Vaguely, ZEX tried to imagine something terrible happening to his family, and found he felt very little at the thought. He didn't have a family anymore, as far as everyone involved was concerned. What would he care? It was their decision to shun him after all. "I hope no one from your family is here. I wouldn't wish this place on..." Well no, ZEX could think of a few of his more vocal detractors that might have been well-served by a visit here. "I wouldn't wish this place on most people."
ZEX studied Teisel's eyes, although human eyes really couldn't see as much detail as a VUX's eye. And besides, he wasn't sure if humans would manifest eye problems the same way that VUX did anyway. Their eyes were much smaller and less useful, after all. "A guild... hmm." Some kind of human organization, no doubt. "There are some solutions, but very few can afford them. Our society is... strictly separated by class. Those without money or influence usually have very little they can do." And most families wouldn't be able to bear the burden, so...
A bit of a laugh there. "Yes, there rarely needs to be a motivation for cruelty, I've found. Bigotry, prejudice, xenophobia, all of which accepted without question, and the consequences viewed as natural." It was so hard not to get bitter when touching on that particular topic. "Perhaps that's the situation we're in now."
ZEX giggled in obvious delight. This human accepted his place so quickly! "Hee! Hee! Hee! No, I suppose they can't. But don't worry, I'll treat you very well." Still almost laughing. "I did do my best to try and keep my men alive back during the War, after all."
