"I dunno. It's freeing in a way." Basically, if Alcide can have his clothes off, he will. Of course, he tries to stay decent around people. But when you've gotta shift on a dime, he really has no shame in that regard. Of course, he grew up around people who had no shame in that regard either. So of course it's all relative and he has every reason to be okay with nudity or even the talking about it.

All is forgiven, really. If there was anything to forgive, it's forgiven. He nods along because he hates that word too. He's known plenty of humans who are the very definition of monster if anyone wanted to go there. "There's good and bad in every group, way I see it. No monster about it."

Alcide takes a look around the area when she announces that they're at the Technology sector. He's also wondering how you handle the kind of unlimited magic power she talks about. Something about too much power and corruption. There's a quote somewhere in the world about that. But Zee doesn't seem the corrupted type in spite of the mass of power she's describing. That's amazing for anyone, much less someone as young as she is. "That much power? Must come with a lot of pressure."

He counts the guards he sees and calculates the odds of how far in they would get before being questioned. "I'm thinkin' about gettin' lost in there. Now's your chance to back out if you think we'll get into trouble."
