I'm no Uncle, just a kid of the Monastery... [ He mutters, understanding that it could be confusing that he is both Scarback and not, fidgeting with bag that held his produce. ] But ya don't have to worry about me paying it forward, monk or not.

[ The Monastery didn't raise him to not aid those in need after all!! Something about the way this person talked and acted confused Rin, just out of his rooted distaste for the Company colliding with his willingness to be compassionate to people who come from a different place from him. So, a little tension comes away from his shoulders - not because he suddenly trusts him but because some of the things he's saying actually make sense. Besides, if what he was saying was really true...he could only hope that not all Company were of the same opinion. But he'd believe it when he saw it. ]

If those Company folk that actually wanna help really exist, I hope they don't plan on laying low too long. I saw Westerley a few weeks ago, and now that Leith is like this...

[ Erupting in protests and literally on fire, he means. ]

Did you really come here to help Leith or were ya here to contain protests like the others I saw?
