Matthew nodded a bit. He held Rowan close.
"I just… You're world is just so… Hostile. And it's not even nature! It's just… The people."

"Yeah… people aren't super nice in New York. I mean, obviously there's some nice people, but there's eight million people and lots of them are mean."

Matthew let out a sigh.
"It's just wrong."

Rowan shrugged a bit. "But that's just how it is there."

Matthew sighed faintly, still wrapped up around Rowan protectively.
"I… I understand, but still…"

Rowan huddled up against Matthew with a soft sigh. "Yeah, I know… that's just what I'm used to, you know?"

Matthew hesitated a moment, nodding.
"Still, you shouldn't have to…"

"I guess, but I do, and that's just how it is… even in the nicest places on earth, there's some mean people."

Matthew let out a soft breath.
"I…" He shook his head a bit. "It's just so surreal. How could people be like that..?"

"I wonder that a lot, you know? Like… what went wrong to make people think that it's okay to act the way they do? It's not hard to just be a decent human being…"

Matthew nodded in turn.
"Well, you'll find none of that here. We've figured out its better to co-exist than be at each other's throats all the time."

Rowan nodded a bit and moved closer to Matthew. "Y-Yeah… I'm surprised that actually works, though. There's no mean people here?"

"There are very few. People who are like that… They're usually shunned." Matthew let out a soft breath. He opened his wings a bit, mostly to keep an eye on the eggs.

"Mm…" Rowan looked down at the eggs and held them a bit closer. "Our ratio is a bit different on earth."

Matthew sighed softly, his hand going to lightly rest on the nest.
"I can tell, from what you've told me…"

"Yeah…" Rowan sighed as well and rested his head back on Matthew's chest. "People don't generally treat me well. I'm easy to take advantage of."

"Well, I'm here to make sure that doesn't happen anymore," Matthew said softly. He rested his second hand on Rowan's head, sighing gently.

"Thanks, Matthew…" Rowan leaned into Matthew's hand a bit. "It's so different here… do people ever even break the law? What are the laws here?"

"Sometimes, but only under certain circumstances. No stealing, no murdering, things like that. They usually vary slightly from place to place." Matthew hummed softly, his thing running over Rowan's hair a bit.

"Hopefully those two are always illegal everywhere…" Rowan sighed softly. "People break the law all the time where I'm from. Especially the stealing… there's so many pickpockets in New York."

"They are." Matthew fell silent, holding Rowan close. "I just… How are people so greedy?"

"Capitalism, I guess. Like I said, money is really important where I'm from. Everyone's just looking for more of it."

Matthew shook his head a bit, holding Rowan closer.
"Your world is strange…" Still, Matthew laid down, tired, holding Rowan close.

"Yeah, I guess it is to you… but that's all I've ever known. To me, your world is strange." Rowan sighed.

"True, true…" Martha chuckled faintly. "I suppose anything we aren't used to it strange."
