Constance is a idiot, and maybe a little bit of a genius too.
[ HOW THE FUCK CAN HE SAY ANYTHING ELSE SHE
CREATED BRAND NEW BLACK MAGIC THROUGH RESEARCH AND TOIL AND TIME AND EFFORT. JUST BECAUSE SHE COULDN'T UNDERSTAND A METAPHOR AND WENT OFF TO LICK BOOTS.
THAT IS... hm. Well, she did say the average person can't easily differentiate between genius and idiocy. Maybe that's a real as hell statement.]
Yeah? [He'll get his laughter back under control, at least. God bless Constance.] I guess it does take some innovation to make totally new techniques, huh?
So she's the kinda person that can really do whatever she puts her mind to, yeah? It's just not always the best use of resources and brain power.
[A LIGHT LAUGH... He's gently bullying this girl he doesn't even know, but there's no malice in his tone.]
Anyway, it's probably best if she doesn't. I hear nobility's all about subterfuge and stabbing each other in the back while being sweet to their face. Sometimes literally! Wouldn't know myself, though - it's not like there are tons of nobles these days, or that any of them are that important.
That's not a bad way of putting it. She's stubborn enough, and driven enough.
[ bully her, it's constance. ]
Oh they have other things to be doing as well but they do enjoy their power struggles. And their bids for more power, so they can have more to lose further down the line. Very busy lives they're leading.
[ aki this might be the most cursed thing you've said to me and i've seen you play weewoowideloadxian? ]
A reputation always comes from somewhere. Every person who tries to do something decent gets drowned out by the ones who blackmail, or buy kids off the street, or do backbends trying to wrestle more power from rival families, you know?

[ constance you crazy girl ]
Imagine if she'd put all that time into the metaphorical sense of the word, she'd be half way back to nobility.
...
But I'm not sure I'd actually want her dealing with them given how literally she interprets things.

Not bad traits to have!
[Sometimes bad traits to have. Anyway he just laughs at that description, because of course he does.]
You don't sound like you're much of a fan.

Eh. It depends on the noble. As with anything, you get people who are bad with what they have, and people who are ... better with it.
Depends on the person, y'know?
no subject
Hah, yeah! Guess you've got a point. Still, they get a pretty bad reputation on a whole, don't they?

Yeah, that's true. You're the company that you keep... or something like that, right?
