Again, you may wish to refrain from using "beast-like" as synonymous as something amoral and savage. Regardless of what you're used to, humans aren't the only individuals here, and I have no doubts some will take offense.
[He was ready to poke more holes in her argument, or even forsake it to poke more fun at Azul- but her words "my own kind" had a dangerous implication that she had caught onto him. He'd admittedly grown lax in hiding it, even going as far as enjoying throwing out hints go see if she'd catch on, but with their current talk he was beginning to think it would be for the better to keep it quiet for a while longer. He did not think she was ready to have to face a non-human, and he needed to gauge how much he could trust her with it.

Either way, he needed an answer from her.]
