Matt's expression sours further as he considers that Zenos' proposition is depressingly likely. Love or hate the Regent, at least they don't pretend to have the moral high ground.
"I would find that pretty disappointing," he murmurs. "I mean, to be fair, I guess I don't really know what they all stand for as a group, apart from 'preserve the status quo.' So it wouldn't really represent hypocrisy per se." Except from Himeka, who seemed to be pretty firmly in camp Helping People, Spreading Love, Saving the World. "I guess maybe anti-authority, which is fair enough. But the first batch of them didn't exactly get a primer on the political situation before they made their choice."
Ah, Matt, how quickly you forget that when you arrived in Horos, you were kidnapped and manhandled by emissaries of the Regent, then spent several weeks convinced they were going to sacrifice you in a blood ritual. Just saying, maybe the Pleroma read the tea leaves there.
