The four mutants were surprised to see the woman angry just because of Varus' name. Alden asked her, "Why, what happened with Mr. Varus?"
"He disguised as a cat mutant wearing a fake tail and went here," she sighed, "He said that he did that because he just wanted to talk to me about our situation. He's writing a law for the protection and the rights of us mutants. But I told him, we're not going to meddle with state affairs."
"About that… we're also here because of it," Aesop explained, "Mr. Varus' younger brother is a snake mutant. That's why he also wanted this law to be passed."
"Really? I thought he was just lying," she said, scratching the back of her head. She then said, "Oh, before I forget, let me introduce myself. I am Niki, the community's leader... How about we give you something to eat? I'm sure you're hungry because of the long trip. Let's talk about your purpose of going here."
