"I know enough about them to stay away. But they're called a House." Paul, too, knows how to put up an act. He's not a normal teenager, but he's pretended to be one before. It's given him more sympathy from strangers. While he doesn't entirely feel safe around strangers, he won't pass up an offer of help from them, "I am the duke of a royal human House where I come from, so I couldn't help but notice the term.
