He opens his eyes, the hint of something haunted, but a confusion too much closer to the surface. "You're trained against them? ...how? What do you mean? Like your radiance?"
Something he couldn't use. Something he couldn't even be around. But there's stil a hope here and that's where that deeper fear rises up and makes her reach out, grasping the arm that's been extended to him. "If they came back, if they find me, I don't want to be one of them."
