"I think you have found we can learn, quiaff?" He smiled, thinking of himself there, though he hadn't learned nearly as much as he thought he had.

"Generally we have had few problems with the civilians themselves, though Ymir insurgents sometimes disguised themselves as such. Certainly we had fewer such problems than the Smoke Jaguars." That they could be both had honestly not occurred to him. "There are advantages to being one of our civilians. As long as you are willing to work, you will always be guaranteed healthcare and the necessities of life and you will not be subject to collateral fire, nor...what is the word...conscription." Indeed, the concept of conscription was absurd to a Clansman. "And we give no preference to nobles over peasants, men over women or any race over another." All that had been replaced by Caste and trueborn/freeborn discrimination.
