Sword and shield resting comfortably now (It had been a long time since he had used weapons such as these, but with his perfect memory, it was just like 'riding a bike', to use a Tau'ri phrase, in the end), Ba'al wandered casually over to listen to the discussion of morality and ideals that was going on between Sorin and most everyone else, the one that had started over Vash trying to save the dragon. It was interesting to listen to, to say the least.

But, in the end, Ba'al did not participate overly much in this debate of ethics. He had his own ideals, and he knew that if he were to express them, alienation could only follow. For some reason, people did not approve of the belief that for your own ends, any means necessary was justified in the pursuit of that. And he had a feeling that that would be especially true to these folks. Which was why he had liked thus far. No one wanted to hear about how he'd destroyed a star system. He doubted the other System lords would have lasted a second in these trials.

Still, he looked confident as Sorin departed. "Well, for my part I have faith that humanity can prevail over whatever trials come," he said, though it was not a comment aimed at Sorin since the vampire had left already. "Principled, clever, a very dangerous combination, to say the least. I've seen them thwart conquerors, overthrow madmen, even prevent the destruction of all life in the galaxy itself. I'm not going to philosophize, but if anyone can succeed in impossible situations, it's the Tau'ri." 

He acknowledged the new people, and considered what else there was to do. Some food would be nice, he supposed, perhaps a nap, though he didn't quite need sleep as a human might. So he prepared to leave, and go see what he could find. Any edge in the upcoming challenges would be useful, considering his opposition.
