Alright. Some of this you already know, but bear with me.
Troll romance is commonly known as the Quadrants, because it's divided into four of them by a pair of axes. The primary axis is that of red and black romance. Red romance, or redrom, concerns positive emotions - namely the various forms of pity - while black romance, blackrom, revolves around hate. This first axis would run vertically, redrom at the top, blackrom at the bottom. The second axis, would go horizontal, divides red and black romance into concupiscent and conciliatory types. Concupiscent romance, on the left, involves feelings of mating fondness, whereas conciliatory romance, on the right, essentially deals with making sure one or more people don't make asses of themselves.
In this way the qualities combine to form the four quadrants. I'll start on the concupiscent side, since it's simpler and more important from the troll perspective. First, you have the flushed quadrant, matespritship, which is concupiscent redrom. This is the closest parallel to human romance, in which two matesprits feel strong positiver feelings towards each other accompanied by mating fondness. This is symbolized by a red heart.
Second is kismesissitude, which I've already told you about. Caliginous quadrant, concupiscent blackrom, two kismesisses, lots of hate, mating fondness, et cetera. Black spade.
Now, sometimes this gets complicated because one person may feel flushed emotions, while the other feels caliginous. In this case, rather than settling into one stable quadrant or breaking off the relationship, the two will flip back and forth from matespritship to kismesissitude in a mobius double reacharound. Me... me and Dave are kismesisses primarily, but we might be heading for that. I'm not sure yet, and neither's he from what he said, so I'm just going to let it happen.
Now, for the conciliatory side, you start with moirallegience. Pale quadrant, conciliatory redrom, pink diamond - I already explained earlier.
Last, then, is auspisticism in the ashen quadrant, which is conciliatory blackrom. This is the only quadrant to involve three people: one auspistice mediating between two others who hold a feud or rivalry. By auspisticing for them, the auspistice prevents the relationship from getting out of hand. This is especially useful when kismesissitude is undesired for whatever reason, and as such is instrumental in preventing black infidelity.
