They had their respect for their elders, either learned or forced into their heads by teachers and parents, and they stayed silent as he spoke. The boy's fingers curled into fists in his lap, his knuckles almost white, before in the end, when Aurus was finished, he said quietly, "I don't want it to be too late for us to realize something's coming for us." He stood up, walking away from the group and standing there, clearly trying to calm down.

"Andrew..." One of the girls said, biting her lip before she went to follow him, sighing.

Suzanne, though, looked thoughtful about everything Aurus had just said. "I think you're right, for what it's worth. I don't want to fight. ...I don't want others hurt, either. I'd rather fight than letting anyone here get hurt. Professor Xavier tells us that we're supposed to stand up for our beliefs without treading on the beliefs of others."

"...I don't want to fight anyone!" A very young girl from nearby, frowning up towards Suzanne.

"That's why we'll fight, so you don't have to."
