[ Soma actually looks moderately surprised. He leans back a little before taking a second to center himself. Sipping a bit of the wine, he honestly thought they would just politely move on.
It seems van Zieks is willing to listen to the opinions and thoughts of those he wouldn't normally agree with; here he thought the pleasantries were just for the sake that they are all at a get together. ]
Unsurprising, I suppose, but I believe in order and not justice. The inconvenient truths that exist within the world could topple the society that I find myself. After all, the darkness is constantly swirling and waiting to devour any form of order in it.
It's waiting for weakness and waiting for blood in the water. For order in such chaos to exist, truths have to be destroyed. Justice has to be corrupted. This ensures that everything flows as it should rather than as it wants.
[ A slight pause. ] But in a way, this is good for your world. So long as we're all keeping things in balance, not too much of those shadows spill over and become your problem.
