[ Rin makes a conflicted expression, still trying to fully process the actions and behaviors of these Leithians. To him, it was natural to want to help people; it was as normal as breathing. So it's difficult for him to understand how and why other people don't feel the same way - call him someone with a bleeding heart but that's just the way he is. ]

It is stupid. If all these people actually pooled together their stuff it would make a difference... [ He looks down at the cup in his hands. ] I mean, if ya think about it, Westies and Leithians and Qreshi are all the same people.

[ Some, or most, of the people at this gala would probably disagree. ]

I guess that makes you a little bit less of a stuck of Qreshi than the rest of 'em.
