He shrugged his shoulders. "Honestly?"
"No. No I don't. It doesn't matter where I came from, so knowing it just opens things up for people to get ideas- ideas about how my ancestor's legacy has cosmically affected my life or some shit. I don't care- because it doesn't affect me, and people who know it end up judging based on it instead of the troll standing in front of them."

Arceme's nose crinkled like she smelled something rotten. "That is quite possibly the most over sensitive reason I have ever heard from not wanted to learn about our pasts. Honestly I do not believe in any of that hoofbeast excrement and quite frankly any troll who gets to learn about their direct ancestor is lucky, and besides." She poked him in the chest. "Who ever said you had to actually tell someone else about what you learn?"

"Because you're telling me right now." Daclus turned away from her, lips twisted into a snarl. "I don't want to know about my ancestor. I really don't."
Because then you compare. I don't want to compare. I don't want to feel like I'm not living up to their legacy. I don't want to feel like I'm not good enough. I don't want to feel like I'd let them down. I don't want them to be ashamed of me.
I want them to be proud. But failing that, I'd rather not even know.
He didn't say it out loud.

Arceme brushed him off "Also when I bring up castes in the context of history there's no need to get bristly, for future reference." She gave him a pointed look. "I learned my lesson from the first time we spoke that it's a hot button issue for you. Thankfully you are not alone in this mindset." The corners of her lips turned up into a the barest hint of a smile.

"Whatever. So what's so important about your blood caste that you feel the need to tell me, who obviously finds blood caste bullshit to be tiring and outdated?"

"It was not so much the caste part so much as the role they had...I was never aware of it before....." She shift her weight a little and flipped through the book. "Basically they were, and rumored to still be, personal hunters for her Imperious Condescension herself....That is all. I had always assumed most of the nobles above bluebloods and Subjugglators were cushy sedentary types..."

He actually turned back to face her with eyebrows raised at that. "Really? Because from what I know, from pretty much the Subjugglators upward the traditional... career... was basically organized violence."

"Shows you how good of a teacher my lusus is." Arceme brushed some of her hair behind her ear, which was dark grey with blush. "Shameful of me really."
