"Yes, some have the ability to heal faster than the normals," he explained easily. "Greek... It was Greek to me... I like the classics," he tried to explain, waving his statement aside. Vic was entirely used to not being understood, most of the Revolve Babies, as they were called, could not read, much less quote the classics. Vic was a freak in many more ways than one.
"Oh, I see!" He returned brightly, genuine interest in his eyes. "I didn't know about that, here the fighting age is thirteen." He said it so casually, it was so much a part of his life, his culture, that the idea of forcing children so young to fight for their very lives was not shocking in the least. It had happened with Vic, with all those he had grown up with.
"Yeah, this guy, he had these weird... illusioned? swords, I'm not sure. I don't understand a lot of these powers," he frowned, waving the thought away. "I thought I was doomed to bleed to death and the next thing I knew, I had this monstrosity. It's not much to look at but..." he gave a small grin and turned, closing his hand around the desk and lifting it up without any effort at all. "It has its advantages. The rest of me's fairly weak." He carefully put the desk back down and returned to leaning against it.
"If we're human or not is a topic of debate here," he chuckled, shrugging. Yes he was back to using 'we,' like it or not, understand it or not, Wade was now firmly counted among their numbers. "The opinion generally leans toward the 'not,' we're usually lucky if our owners think of us as having the rights of animals." Once again, he seemed so casual discussing all this. "I've got the tongue thing," he offered, again flicking his tongue out, it shooting clear across the room before retracting.
"And I've got this thing going on," he added, stepping closer to the wall and putting a hand to it. His hand seemed to ripple once, and the next moment, it was gone, vanished to the wrist, perfectly mimicking the color and texture of the wall. At the wrist there was an odd intermediate area where the green mixed in places with the camouflaged scales. "Comes in handy when playing hide and seek," he grinned.
