Gyre wrinkles his nose when he mentions Garrot. Garrot forcing him to do something. He pauses a moment here, a few irritated scraps of thoughts drifting through his head. It's not the time to complain about that man though, and so he shakes his head a little, watching Luka curiously.

"You still talk to your mother?" he asks curiously, pausing a beat and then taking a short little breath in. "Oh, that's common for you all, right?"

The second question catches him a little off-guard, and he makes a short amused noise, shaking his head slightly.

"I won't. I'm going to make my power stronger, so I can hold him in place. He won't be able to get to me." Or well. That's the plan anyway. He still hasn't found Eleven to find out how feasible that option is yet, but Luka doesn't need to know that yet.
