"I think you're forgetting who and what they've been dealing with the past several years." he chuckled a bit. "You're not the stuff of their nightmares, you don't kill people to feed off them, and you're still very much human in appearance. Which gives you a leg up so it goes. Would it unsettle them if you accidentally touched Beckett or even Woolsey? Yes. But no more than it would if I did it. Only difference is, you're human in appearance. They're far more likely to forgive you for what you look like. Me? They'd shoot on sight." He looked down the hall at the marines then back to her. "I'll prove it to you." then waved down two men to come over. Their suspicion levels rose but they walked over. "Question to pose to you two." Todd said.
One shrugged, then other nodded, "Sure"
"Which of us do you trust more and why?"
The first one snorted. "Well, that's easy." he said and nodded to Rogue. "New girl." and the second agreed.
"I'm hurt, but intrigued, why is that?" Todd said, grinning, clearly not hurt in the slightest.
"She's human looking and don't eat people." the second answered.
"And last I checked, she didn't steal the Daedalus and nearly slaughter dozens of innocent people for a betrayal we didn't commit." the first added.
"But I no longer feed on people, and she's unpredictable" Todd said. "Her touch could kill even myself. Does that not unsettle you?"
"Its very unsettling, but she doesn't have a history with screwing around with us like you and she's not going attack us on purpose for some hidden agenda, right?" the first said, looking to Rogue.
