[He smiles] I believe I agree with you. A life with out flaws would seem...empty.
That is unfortunate. How long is this 'Calm' that you so desperately need?
[He sighs, looking away.] In my universe, we say that 'man is a fallen being' so we can believe that we somehow deserve the way we live. Perhaps we do deserve it. Yet it seems sometimes that my people seem intent on continuing that suffering, rather than attempting to overcome it. We destroy false Utopias without knowing what a true one would be like, and never strive to find it for ourselves. It is not the same in your world yet... [He lapses off, shaking his head slightly, as if trying to forget his train of thought. Elloran is not here to be a Utopia Hunter, no matter how much his training prompts him to do so. It is unfair of him to attempt to make her doubt her calling.]
