Well, ya know what they say about seein' the good in yourself. S'why others are around to tell ya what you don't see. And son, I say what you're doin' is pretty damn noble. [He was quite sure his ma would say so, too.] It's alright to look up to your family, but don't let it make you feel less.

Doctors all take an oath on confidentiality. [If anything, that surprises him. Far as he knew, all doctors did and always had. Alec's world couldn't be that different now could it?] And that right there... that's malpractice. Messin' with memories is just wrong. Morally wrong and ethically.

[That sounded awful to him. Any self respecting doctor would do no such thing.]

Prejudice can and does run deep. And sometimes gettin' away is a good thing. Where I'm from, pretty much anything is accepted. Pretty open minded and all. Earth's been through hell, no point makin' more of a mess now that we've rebuilt.

[A soft chuckle escaped at that thought.] Hell would freeze over 'fore I told 'im that for that very reason.
