He knew about people wanting power as much as he knew about the plucky rebels that didn't seem to have a chance; they were things he had lived with for years.
But scenarios weren't always black and white; they were shades of grey and he fucking hated it. It was a lot easier to despise something that was blatantly wicked than it was to be stuck in the realm of I don't know.]

[Well, one. Sonia, a princess, but he wasn't sure how much power there was; politics bored the fuck out of him and there were a lot more fun things to do than sit and talk dynasties and power plays. If he wanted that, he'd go back to his Sangheili lessons. Besides--]
Is that what they told you? Because it seems like your guys kind of came in and started telling people how to live, how to be, wanted to take over for them and not give them a choice. Who the fuck made you guys the universal police, huh? You're like a pushy fucking prom date that can't take a hint.
