What's a highblood?

[mutab1e]

A troll who is high on... well, the hemospectrum. Humans call it a 'caste system'.

[wrigurun]

[Nope, none of that got through. Not a word]

Hemo... what?

[mutab1e]

[Siiiiiiigh.]

Trolls are born with different colors of blood. The color of blood determines the troll's place in society.

[wrigurun]

Ooh!

Why didn't you say so in the first place instead of using all those big words?

[mutab1e]

Well, because that's what it's called.

[wrigurun]

Well...

I'm not smart like you, you have to slow it down.

[mutab1e]

[...]



I'm not smart.

[wrigurun]

But you keep using all those big words and you seem to know an awful lot about corners.

So I guess if you're not smart then you sound smart at least.

[mutab1e]

No, I mean... well... I try, kind of, I suppose. But I'm sure there are many highbloods better than I am.

[wrigurun]

[She rolls her eyes a little. It's something she's all too familiar with but his lack of determination is annoying]

Maybe there are, are you okay with that?

[mutab1e]

Yes. That's how it should be.

[wrigurun]

[Well that was unexpected]

Oh...

I guess that's okay then.

Are you sure you're okay with it?

[mutab1e]

Yes.

[Because God forbid he ever be more skilled than a highblood.]

[wrigurun]

You really are weird...

[mutab1e]

...Sorry.

[Eh? Whatever happened to having a backbone?]

[wrigurun]

[Frowns]

I didn't mean it in a bad way.

You're just... different.

And stop saying sorry all the time, it's really annoying.

[mutab1e]

[He opens his mouth to speak -- probably to apologize again -- but pauses, and seems to change his mind at the last minute.]

...Um. Alright.

[wrigurun]

[Huff]

Good.

This room is bad enough, I don't want to be annoyed at you too.

[mutab1e]

I'll do my best.

[Though it seems like anything can bother this girl, so he's probably going to fail, but... well, maybe this alien geometry is getting to him. Submission is coming remarkably easy for someone who isn't even on the hemospectrum.]
