twelve [written/action] | Saturday at a less silly time

[It isn't easy, having your eyes pried open and forced to look at a truth you never wanted to see. A few days have passed since Martel looked straight at him and explained that what he had done was wrong, and each minute since then as crawled by slowly, weighed down with tension.

My family, myself and one other are the only mutants on our world. The rest of the population are humans. We're seen as monsters or aliens, having to hide from them. Two alien invasions haven't helped our situation.

Despite this. We do have a few friends at home that are human. Despite this, we always helped any humans that were in need.

['Mutants' again. Interesting.] What would compel you to help humans who think so lowly of you?

Because it's the right thing to do. Especially when no one else is around to help.

Is owing them something the only reason for helping someone? Innocent by-standers do not deserve to suffer. Even if they are just in the wrong place at the right time.

So you go out of your way to help humans in need, saving their lives even, and yet they still regard you with fear and loathing. Humans truly never change.

It's the honorable thing to do.

[Leo's lying a point though. Really if it came to innocents and his own family, his family comes first. Before he worries about anybody else.]

There is no honor in playing into the idealized values of a society that marginalize you and your kinsmen. They themselves do not follow the ideals they preach, so why should you?
