Hello, Catherine. A moment of your time?

Catherine

Oh, it's you. Yes?

Lorenz

That sword you wear upon your hip. How did you come by it, exactly?
link
Catherine
volume_up

I don't appreciate your tone. Are you implying I swiped it off someone?
link
Lorenz
volume_up

Not at all. But Heroes' Relics are typically passed down through the bloodlines of the 10 Elites.

Lorenz

You are descended from a noble family, are you not?

Catherine
volume_up

That's none of your business.

Lorenz

Actually—

Catherine

Let's say I was a nobody, with no Relic, no Crest. I would still be me, wouldn't I?
link
Catherine
volume_up

That's not to say lineage counts for nothing. It just doesn't count as much as how you live your life, and what you live for.

Catherine

Or, let's say I was descended from some noble house. Would that change how you treat me?
link
Lorenz
volume_up

Yes, it would. To treat you differently from the commonfolk would only be appropriate.

Catherine
volume_up

You're so narrow-minded! Tied down by foolish, antiquated notions.
link
Lorenz
volume_up

But the nobility and the commonfolk are different. If the few did not have capabilities to set them apart from the many, then they would not be the few.
link
Catherine
volume_up

Wow. You really think nobles are better than everyone else, don't you?
link
Lorenz
volume_up

I didn't mean to suggest—
link
Catherine
volume_up

You pay so much attention to people's lineage and status that you have no idea who they actually are.
link
Catherine
volume_up

Even if I was from the prestigious House Whatever, I would never associate with a blowhard like you!

Hmph!
