Shayuri said:"Oh my GOD, Temper! How can you be so smart and so THICK?" Calypso demands.
"I don't understand your position: it seems contrary to itself," she says coldly.
"We're not pretending there's agreement! It's recognizing that we ARE in agreement about the important things. Things like rights and responsibilities and...all the things we learn about in classes...and what it means to be mutants? And with all the things we DO agree about, the disagreements you're...obsessing over are tiny and...stupid."
"Seriously...who CARES about politics when people are trying to KILL us?"
"Rights and responsibilities are hardly apolitical topics. Other related values have a great deal of impact on how a person should deal with people trying to kill her. Politics also has some impact on why people would trying to kill us in the first place. A political stance generally isn't something that exists in a vacuum," Temper replies. "Besides, I haven't attended any classes yet. I don't know exactly what rights or responsibilities are emphasized here. It also sounds as if you value 'being a mutant' in a way I don't." Of course people are trying to kill you. It follows from this school's reason for existence.
"Based on your actions, you do seem to agree that these matters are important - if they were as trivial as you declare, then why invest so much emotion and raise your voice?" she adds calmly.
