"Oh, certainly," Aiden said, "One cannot afford to be careless. Particularly if one is responsible for the royal family's well being. Or anyone's well being truly."

Aiden paused for a moment to sip his drink.

"My father would have likely punished me for not being able to keep myself safe as well as punished the guard."

"He's Lord Magneto's clenched fist," Aiden said with pride before realizing he'd not really answered the question. "A hard man would believe him some sort of ideal to strive for."

"That close to Magneto, hrm?" she said, glancing down and stirring her drink. "That must be a...different sort of life."

"It can be quite enjoyable. The night sky is breathtaking and there's a certain peace of mind you can only find when you're truly alone," Aiden smiled. "Lost most of it's charm the first time my mother planned the... excursion and I woke up snowed into a cave without the means to make a fire."

"From Genosha? I think the furthest was a four or five hour flight," Aiden said trying to recall. "I usually slept on the flight home."

"Everything is so... disorganized and the cities are filthy," Aiden said trying to find the right words to describe his feelings. "This is the longest I've been outside Genosha and so far what I've learned is that humans are almost as horrible to one another as Genoshan news portrays them to be towards mutants."

"People always chafe at rules and power structures," Aiden said noncommittally. "The needs of Genoshan citizens are provided for, so there tends to be little foothold for radical elements."
