Teisel felt a rush a homesickness. "It was." Here he'd been hoping to distract himself from thinking about his family, but it looked like the topic just kept coming up today. "Thanks. I hope so too." He frowned. "A doctor last night tried to convince me that my younger sister's here, but...she must have been lying." Because if anything had happened to Tron, Teisel would probably stop functioning altogether. He didn't miss the 'most' part of Zex's statement, but he understood. Some people really did deserve this place.
Teisel tried not to fidget as Zex studied his eyes. It hadn't been too long ago that he'd been pestering complete strangers to do just that, though that was for a slightly different reason. "Oh, it's not a guild I'm in, personally. Their requirements are a little too..." Law-abiding. "...restrictive for me." From the sounds of it, Vux society kind of sucked. "Pretty dog-eat-dog, eh? That's too bad." Terran society was pretty divided, in its own way, but it wasn't impossible to find people who were willing to show a little charity, at least.
"And genocide," he added, "let's not forget that one." He would have laughed, but that incident was still too fresh in his mind. "Who knows? Maybe the folks in charge here don't even see us as people." His own voice did get a little bit bitter at that. "Maybe we're just a little hobby, or something. Like pets."
They were going to have to work on that laugh of his. That giggle was just plain disturbing. "See that you do," Teisel mock-scolded. "I'm expecting a lot from a wartime admiral, just so you know. I'm in your hands." Or whatever it was Zex usually had instead.
