[Another silence, then he clicks his tongue disgustedly.]

You say that as if it is a bad thing. Children are easy to train, easy to teach. Think of the possibilities if you could take someone and train them exactly the way you wanted. So that when you needed them...they would do what they were supposed to do.

Better than a soldier.

In the short-term, perhaps. But children also grow up, where soldiers are dependable.

Children grow up the way you want them to.

Ah, now, if that were the case, my parents would have had a few grandchildren by now. [Instead, they'd have to settle with a grand-ferret. IF THEY WERE ALIVE.]

They raised you. They didn't train you.

I believe my father would disagree-- were he alive to do so. Nevertheless, I see your point.

Of course, it's not argument for the sake of argument. I'm going to see what can be done with him.

But Sylar is quiet for now. And that's my main priority.
