Maya had her jaw dropped the entire time the two had their conversation.
"You can speak?"
Serosh looked over to Maya.
"What? You can do it, why can't I?"
Maya stuttered over herself, unable to form any words.
Lucifer rolled his eyes.
"Anyways, back on topic. You actually put your faith in other people being somewhat rational?"
The corner of Serosh's lip twitched.
"...They are intelligent beings, no?"
Lucifer raised an eyebrow.
"They can be defined as intelligent beings, yes. But in the end, they are unbelievably weak to manipulation. If they are not taught anything, then they won't be able to do anything."
He smirked.
"And if they are taught to bend to your will, then they will naturally do so. Otherwise, what is referred to as intelligent beings is no different from mindless animals. When it comes down to it, most are frankly incapable of thinking logically."
