He tended not to be too fond of things that were out of his control, and that, most certainly, was one of those things. "But I don't think there's any shame in using them if you have to. After all, we aren't the only ones who've been granted new abilities that we never asked for."

"But if you can manage without them, then I think that's fine. There's nothing that says you have to use them."
