Arguments had arisen after his demonstration, it didn't bother him too much it was logical after all personalities often clashed back at school, why would it be different here? Especially considering they were all new to one another and... well each of them was dangerous in a way. It did allow him more time to consider possibilities.<br/><br/><br/>As Mathew began to move away from the target dummies, Nathaniel had asked a simple but important question; could he move while using his power and he hadn't answered yet. The young man stopped his movements to consider how to answer, would he answer truthfully and leave him vulnerable to the others if they knew one of his weaknesses? Or would he deceive them by leaving them in the dark? Would that come to haunt him if ever a situation arose that left him at the mercy of another?<br/>With a deep breath he turned his head slightly to answer Nathaniel, "I can't. More so because of my leg than the focus required to move both myself and my creation. The more I exert myself into my creation the greater the strain is placed on my body and unfortunately for me in most cases it's the knee I feel." Mathew paused for a moment to consider the various ideas that had long formed in his mind ever since he released his vulnerability, "I've thought of ways to...bypass my predicament by having my creation lift me up but that requires a lot of effort to be of any use. Tactically I need to be someplace where I can be close enough to control but far enough that I don't become a burden..."<br/><br/>With a nod to Nathaniel, Mathew walked towards where the group had originated, by now most had broken off into their own parties for one reason or another, whether to argue or to comfort. Aspects of society he long had been forced to leave. Once more silence entered his mind, he could distantly hear the argument continue, he could make out the sound of the shapeshifter but to him it was almost like white-noise now. Their words were aimed for others, they did not involve him so why intrude upon their discussions? Aside from his demonstration there was no need for him to speak any more, after all he had already spoken more than enough. Enough to irritate them in all likelihood.<br/><br/>"Do I scare you?" Came the blunt question, Mathew looked up for a moment Deigo's question was open to them all, was he fearful of being isolated? Was he afraid of being the cause of fear within the group?<br/>Mathew gave a small smile as he spoke aloud, "Do you scare me? Truthfully. Yes. In a way you are something that causes me to reconsider thoughts I long since buried . Do I resent you for it? No. Meeting new folk is always scary regardless if they're powerful or not, it's the unknown that's the key and deciding factor. We're still on a blank slate, even if you're power frightens me, I still don't know you enough to make that judgement. To say whether or not you are friend or foe. But for the time being, I'd say you're in safe waters in my books. Though I suppose that doesn't mean much coming from me."<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
