Julian thinks it over, weighing the risks. He'd been underfed for quite some time, trying to maintain the facade of being a mild-mannered human; it helped the whole mutant-human co-existence image he was fostering. Feeding too deeply on Lisa might be a problem.
But if he did nothing, Lisa would die. He was surprised that Minnie was being this cordial, this giving, when it hit truly hit him: Minnie was willing to suffer anything, including helping Lisa, for his benefit.
"There are a number of ways this could go wrong. It may not even work." Julian says, feeling that he has to point this out for everyone, so that they can acknowledge that they shouldn't all get their hopes up. If it didn't, Minnie would feel she failed him. Lisa would feel defeated and Julian himself would feel helpless. Julian hadn't felt helpless since he was eighteen years old and he resolved he'd never feel such again.
"I'm willing to try this in small increments, until we know whether or not it's helping. If it is, then we'll discuss going further. If not...then we'll reconsult with Doctor Bradley and go from there.
Is everyone clear?" he asks.
