I think Seiran is actually very familiar with living in the hinterland, as a colonized subject, she just expresses it differently. She's lived the lived experience: servitude, constant vigilance, deference, having stories retold for you - but I think she's polite. Reisen is less so, Reisen is definitely more aggrieved, more radicalized. I think she'd be one of those people who'd read bits of Fanon, and especially bits about the master-slave nexus. Reisen suspects some radical statement about Lunarians isn't likely to be believed by Seiran and she's trying to couch things in softer terms.

I'm plainly embarrassed that I wrote some really bad rhyme for the story.
