[Flexible interpretation of the law? See, David just thought he was a socialist. But he supposed that wasn't that far off. Mutants had different laws these days, and saw the world differently for all they'd been through. But surely he wasn't that flexible.
Was he?
Perhaps that didn't matter as much as what Balthier was telling him. Those words made David straighten up from the position of curled around Balthier's arm to instead catch the other's hand and squeeze it in what he hoped would be a comforting way.]
I didn't know the Society had a moral code. I mean, I've got recruiter contact information for both sides, so I guess I could have found out. Apparently my technopathy is considered useful.
[If he knew one of the heads of the Society was a technopath, he might understand why it was happening though.]
Of course I'm not going to say I don't want to see you again. If I did then I'd have to declare what I had with my ex-boyfriend a lie. He was a con artist, you see, of a rather lofty level. Thief too, pretty sure there were some museum thefts that I could put at his feet, even if I couldn't prove it. My boss back home? Former terrorist, though I understand why he did it too, sometimes when you're fighting for the rights of your people you get those labels. Hell, there are probably still files back on my Earth that call me one. I just want you to know that if you did take that turn, cross those lines, I'd act. I... I can't stand by while people get hurt. I've tried before. I hated myself for it.
