[Siiigh. Well, he's already dug himself in deep, so.]
Unlike most humans, trolls have four different kinds of romance, all of which are important to our society. They can be categorized as either red and black romance, which explains the emotions involved, or as concupiscent and conciliatory, which would be the purpose.
Matesprits and moirails fall into the red category, with kismesises and auspitices in the black. For concupiscent, it is matesprits and kismesises, and conciliatory would be moirails and auspitices.
A matesprit seems to be the closest to human romance. You pity their failures and love them regardless. A moirail is your balance, someone you protect either through battle or through helping them shift through their emotions. It involves a great amount of trust. Kismesises are individuals you hate and wish to see put down a step or hundred. The hatred involved forges both of you into being better trolls- I mean, individuals. [Even if no one else besides trolls seems to get kismesisitude.] They are your best rival. However, sometimes ill placed feelings of hatred can ruin things, especially if it is of the wrong sort, and an auspitice will step in as a third party to calm feelings down and stop them from doing something foolish- such as killing one another or getting into a relationship when it would be a bad idea to do so.

Is that clear enough?
