[Zelos doesn't know a thing about the Vanguard or anything like that, but he does know the Tethe'allan government's policies towards half-elves have changed, especially since he's a major reason why, putting pressure on the king and the new leaders of the Church of Martel to preach equality.]
The point is people change. Aselia when I'm from? There's still some prejudice, sure, but half-elves don't hide anymore. They're protected by the government. Change can be a slow thing but it does happen and Humans are capable of it just like anyone.
[It's a weak argument, and he's sure it's gonna go flying back in his face as is usually Mithos' reaction to things that don't fit into his narrow world view, but at least he tried.]
Fear makes people do stupid things. Fear of half-elves made Tethe'alla lock them away, fear of losing your sister drove you to split the world, fear of... well, everything, made me play both sides. It's not just a Human condition, Mithos. It's more of a sentience condition.
[Zelos rubs his neck, looking away from the camera.]
It's what you do with the fear, letting it control you or pushing through it, that makes people - humans, elves, or half elves - different.
