Reyson huffs, annoyed at the whole situation here. That's a good read on him, and he doesn't mind sympathy as long as he can't sense any pity in there. It is for the best that Yoshiki did not bring up laboratories because he certainly has opinions on those. One opinion. The opinion is that it would be better for civilization in the long run if all alchemists were to be staked out in the fields and fed to wild tigers.
"That's how it is. I can survive being unsafe, but my people aren't meant to be solitary."
His loved ones might have a few words about Reyson's ability to handle being unsafe, but he is alive so far, is he not?
"Not that yours are suited to it either, but there are more of you to begin with."
A little bit of his empathy is creeping back, and that regal expression softens a hair or three. It is probably quite unnerving to be the only one who can see through illusions or whatever nonsense is going down here, and beorc do sometimes get odd about spirit charmers. Not as odd as they get about people who turn into birds, mind you.
Slowly rotates the spotlight towards him, against protest
