"Exactly. Humans are always searching for ways to level the playing field. At least that's what they tell themselves." The reality of it, at least in Illyana's eyes, was that they were just power hungry. It wasn't about leveling some playing field where mutants and other more powerful species had more of an advantage. No, it was just about the fact that humans weren't the ones with that advantage. They feared what they didn't understand and at the same time they wanted that power. That had been her experience time and time again with their human adversaries.
"Unfortunate," she said with a little shrug. "I don't fit in, but for some reason they were insistent on me staying." Up until her recent escapades. Those had landed her in a jail of sorts, but there was no need to mention that. It wasn't hard to guess why they'd been insistent on her staying before that either. They'd thought she was dead and then suddenly she'd come back, of course her brother and friends wanted her to stay. They hadn't understood the situation though, not at all. "It's good you were able to figure that out and move on quickly. And that you found your last place so accommodating to work."
A detective. She'd have to keep that in the back of her mind. She took a nibble of the new pretzel and shook her head. "I doubt that had anything to do with it. It's hardly in the forefront of any of our minds." Not anymore at least. The New Mutants had fought much worse foes since then. "Oh, I would hardly mind dealing with again. It was easy enough to deal with once Dani decided to stop playing the hero. From what I have heard versions of it have popped up again back home." Though the details weren't something she was particularly clear on and she wasn't really that interested. "If you have any other questions, I might answer them." She was feeling a bit more generous now.
"These locals seem mostly friendly enough. Some more than others. There are a people in the forest that live far away that are not particularly social. It seems they have a low opinion of us." Though she had no idea why that was. She'd never spoken to them or even attempted to seek them out herself, it just wasn't something that interested her. "Isn't it? Less than ideal..." she shook her head. "They claim their Creator also made them, but then just left. Or disappeared. Perhaps it just abandoned this place." She'd heard of gods doing that before.
She would definitely remember his generosity with food and his sentiment. Which might mean she'd ask for him to share if she saw him with food again. Or it might not. "Heroic people always deny they are heroic. It's part of being heroic."
