Well, I don't think it's even a majority of humans. 

I guess that is good to know.

If you think it's important you can tell the engineers how your world does it, maybe.

So, uh, do you have any things that you figure are unclean here or is that just not a thing.

I mean, we have things that aren't clean? Like, if they have dirt on them. I don't think we have the concept you're using.

Oh. I guess I can explain about being red then if people still wanna know.

I think the Prince Canafinwë would probably be happy if someone reassured him that it isn't something his brother will yell at him for not getting to the bottom of sooner.

Apparently you won't care! We're the people who have to do all the unclean jobs.

...and you thought we might kill you if we found out?

Well, see, since we've been doing them for so long reds are unclean too. And we touched things.

...I think I still don't understand. 

Everybody thinks we're gross and hates us.

Oh.

That's awful, I'm sorry.

Thanks.

What insanity.

It's not great. Although it's not actually why Katin was in danger, that was just because I didn't have her credit paid off, my country'll kill uncredited babies of any caste.

- they'll kill babies?

If you don't have a credit for them, yeah. Most places just take them and adopt them out and sterilize you maybe with a jail term for that.

She bursts into tears. Oh no - oh no -

She snuggles Katin.

Babies - is there a Melkor, is there something making them evil or -

Everybody's gotta do population controls, my country does it this way because a long time ago they needed to look really serious about it to avoid a war and then they just didn't stop.

Ugh. 

Yeah. We were having a war so I could pick up enough money to make payments that way but I wasn't sure it'd last long enough.

Who were you at war with?
