Their table was quiet, but not in awkwardness, most of their conversations were internally with one another. But Todd eventually spoke aloud.

"After you finish eating you're to be transferred back to the hive." he said.

"Already?" Cody asked "I thought that now that we're not feeding upon humans we can wander Atlantis to our content."

"No. It will probably be some time before our kin are allowed to roam the city freely." Todd answered.

"Why? Aren't we just like them now?" Cody asked

Todd looked to Rogue then to his youngest underling. "No. We are still Wraith."

"That's hardly fair, we've changed so much for them, why can't they do the same for us?"

"Because humans will fear us until the generations that endured our cullings die out, and even then it will take time. Trust isn't gained as easily as we hope it is. We've made good progress in the last two years alone. Have some patience." Todd said and a couple others chuffed in agreement.

Cody nodded after a moment of thought and went back to eating his French toast.
