It's genuinely good to hear not everyone that comes here is immediately drugged and taken prisoner, and Marcos tries not to look completely surprised by the fact that there are perfectly decent people looking out for them. He's always been aware that they're out there, it's just practically unheard of that they're the first ones you run into.

There's something else too. The way he talks about those afflicted that's more understanding than most probably would be.

"You weren't afraid of them either, were you?" He sounds curious. Marcos hasn't run across other mutants here, at least those that would fit the classic definition, but people usually freak out around those who are unable to control their powers like that. It's refreshing to find someone with an open mind.

"Maybe that's why."
