I can't make it feel right for you, Pilot. I can't make you believe what I believe, which is that the whole is richer by the differences of its individual members. That is the Kree way, and it's why we pursue genetic diversity so much.

How far you decide to go outside of what you've been taught is up to you.
[Pilot's very quiet, but he's glad of Noh-Varr's closeness and the feeling of having another body next to his. It's something that's been missing since he left home - he tends to be very touchy-feely. And humans - humans aren't.]
[ Noh-Varr watches the point fly about a hundred miles over Pilot's head, then figures his friend just isn't ready for further discussion on the topic. It took a long, long time before Noh-Varr was willing to question the Kree empire, and still to this day he has difficulty maintaining seditious thoughts. ]
Stay with me for a while, Pilot. I'll keep you company, if you'd like.
[Pilot curls a bit closer, breathing even and deep. He doesn't know how to deal with all of this. Not yet. So he settles for being close to someone he trusts.]
