2319 Conflicting Principles

Talking to expert pilots always made Ves feel uncomfortable.

They were uncommonly perceptive and difficult to fool. They were very stubborn about their convictions and never budged their principles.

This was the source of their strength. Their strong will and unflinching beliefs was not normal and the reason why they distinguished themselves from mortals.

Regular humans possessed complex thoughts and personalities. It wasn't strange for normal people to be hypocritical or hold contradictory thoughts. It was this very flexibility and malleability that made them humans.

Expert pilots were different. They came across as stiff, rigid and stubborn. The disposition of expert pilots towards other people depended on how well the latter aligned with the former.

It was that simple, and that was why expert pilots were so trouble.
