[Gosh, Oxford is beautiful. Those pictures are lovely - thank you! Note to self: do not drive in England. It sounds like trying to get around LA wihch I heard is... a sin. @_@]
Some of the younger children looked very upset about Aurus talking about the Nightmare Court. Aurus wouldn't know that mutants knew well that some children were still being tortured, expertimented on, locked away because their parents didn't know what to do with them, because of cults brainwashing people, because of the hate and fear in the air. One or two of the older children put hands on shoulders or scooped up a younger, making sure they were okay. Aurus did earn a slight glare from one of the older boys who wasn't keen on that, but he got smacked by another one sitting beside him.
There was a whole lot of whispering going on now as people leaned in, discussing what Aurus had said. It was obvious there was more questions, but they managed to hold back while they were waiting for the children to respond. The blonde looked up, blinking at Aurus, before tucking the stone she was working in to her chest. "Not yet!" She grinned before going back to her whispering, the writing on the stone turned so only they would be able to see it.
Suzanne spoke up first, "there's talk about making people who are mutants register if they're mutants or not. It's gotten a lot of people angry because there was a war in our world that people they considered different had to register that they were and a lot of them ended up being killed." The most simple summary of the horrors of not that many years ago in history. "But a lot of other people say its for their protection. Like you need a license to have a gun, you shouldn't have a weapon that people don't know about. What do you think is right to do?"
