Sure. Another world's fantasy sounds like it's probably interesting.

[ he'll gesture over with the book because he is not moving away from hulkenberg, and once he's close enough, will show him a picture from the book and then read. ]
"The young traveller was amazed by the world he saw. In this world, there is only one tribe. All people accept each other, and no soul is born into discrimination. In such a world, there is no need for sorcery. A megapolis is built through learning and labour. Towers of glass that reach the heavens. Safe nights with no dark shadows. Busy streets well travelled. And in the laws of these emotionally satisfied people, it reads: all lives are equal. "

that's a lot already. ]
This city resembles the ones in my homeworld. [ ... ] Is interspecies discrimination common for you?
no subject
snow read this and than said i could say that hulkenberg also looks at him and then looks at mordalion. strohl snorts, humourlessly. ]
That's an understatement. It's a cancer that haunts every corner of society in Euchronia - the tribes're fragmented and hierarchical and it gets worse the further down you go. Upper tribes don't suffer it because they're the ones in charge, but many of them perpetuate it to hell and back, if not cause the worst of it, have they enough power to do so.

... it's similar in the Sanctuary, worse in the past. Not entirely to do with species, but that is a factor, too. The families in the upper echelons, born into wealth and influence, exert their power over those in even slightly less fortunate circumstances. It once caused civil wars so bad that the capital city split away from the surface. [ so... ] Your captain wanted to change this for your world, is that it?
no subject
Figures. [ there's a scoff, derisive and recognising. ] It's the same for us. Clemar and rouissante especially wield it poorly - I've seen many make a damn disgrace of the name of a noble to put others down instead of serve them.
[ and nothing grinds strohl's gears more than that. ]
And you're right. Will's an elda - the tribe that gets the worst of it by far. All of us who work with him come from a variety of different tribes, not brought together by that, but rather by the fact that we all have similar ideals. An actual utopia's damn far out of reach, especially with the mess our home is, but it's worth striving for.
...Funnily, it's how I met Will, actually, the first time - dealing with things like this. [ with a little nostalgia. ] Some rouissante with an attitude was harassing him, so I stepped in to stop it. Almost got into a knockout fist-fight in the middle of the recruitment centre less than fifteen minutes after I enlisted.

[ hums neutrally. ]
Change will take a long time, regardless. Finding those with matching ideals is the biggest first step to achieve any goal. [ tilts his head, raising an eyebrow. ] You were able to restrain yourself enough to not reach an actual knockout? I'm surprised. This Will was impressed even without you landing a final blow?
no subject
Yeah. Sort of what we're embroiled in the middle of, now. Not so much a revolution, but... well, it's a long, complicated story, with similar roots.
[ the exposure of corruption and all that jazz.
and the latter part - help, he gets a little embarrassed!! flustering and reaching up to rub the back of his neck. ]
I - well, the guard captain showed up and told us to break it up before we even got anywhere. I doubt he was impressed, it wasn't impressive by any means, but we made fast friends after that.
[ strohl just pulled a strohl - he saw an injustice, saw someone trying to bully someone else, and stepped right in to stop it .]
