Memory 00

Memory: Trivial Neutral - Nex refusing Just's help
Source: Chapter 15, page 2-4

What does this mean?
Things to note: in the brief moment here Just is thinking very dispassionately and manipulatively. His offer is a ploy and his ~sincere words~ are a lie and he's just testing the waters. The memory itself doesn't tell him why, but he does know that, for some reason, the man he's calling father doesn't recognize him as his son. He knows this man is the Regis, and he will recognize Nex's smell (this memory also gives him Iffrita and Shao Shao's scents).

What he can piece together immediately: he is probably an illegitimate or unrecognized son of the Regis, but he has enough power or claim to make this kind of bold move without fear. He has at least two half-siblings.

He doesn't see the Regis as a father, but as an interesting piece in a political power struggle. Someone he does want to recognize him, and favor would be beneficial.

Not shown but in the second half of the memory, so therefor relevant, the rejection doesn't bother Just in the least. There is no emotional attachment or hurt from Nex's words, rather, more intrigue and desire, a challenge.
