"The brightest of minds may often conceal the darkest of agendas," replies Soren, considering his own world's most corrupt leaders as a mark of comparison. "But as beacons of knowledge and authority, they have garnered the trust of the people who will listen without qualm nor question. Many are comfortable in their ignorance. If the barbarians are nothing but grass to be trampled, then that only makes it easier to control and abuse them for the gain of me and my kin. We are naturally superior to them. Why should I change my mind?" His catlike eyes flash like an ember stroked by wind. "Humanity never changes, does it?"

As he speaks of bigotry's dimensions, his expression turns grim, his voice darkening with bitterness that wells up from an entrenched, long-standing mindset forced to confront this sort of issue before he was even old enough to comprehend it. As he stews over this human condition, his... tail flicks in irritation. It wasn't there before, and it certainly wasn't furry and feline, either.
