[The half smile is more than he expected (though he wasn't quite sure what Beckett's reaction would be, if he was honest), and it brings a sort of...serenity? As if tension he didn't realize he held had been freed. A sort of relief, possibly, though, again, in response to what threat avoided?
Really, though, he isn't going to question it much. Because it sounds like he has taken some measure of hope from it, wry as that smile of his was, and that matters more than anything. When he can find none for himself, the least he can do is find it for other people, friends especially.]
People that would thrive in your conditions exist, I'm sure. People who would welcome it. There would be no need to guess, if they could come to you. Societies exist that would benefit from a group of vampires living among them, and if it were openly so, they could protect you in turn.
[That seemed to be what their Caine wanted, in fact, if these words were his at all. But those words came from a position of power over mortal humans that Enoch felt was a hindrance to what could be. But he held back from voicing that thought. Beckett might already think the same, after all.]
