"I questioned as much myself when last I spoke to the young King," he said as he finished gathering up what he needed to take back to the building with him, "albeit not so directly. He claims that they help simply because they wish to and because they feel it's right, calling it community rather than charity. Irritatingly earnest as the boy is, I have no reason to doubt his words. And while it's entirely possible that others among his people may have motivations unknown to him, that does seem to be the prevailing sentiment."
After a brief pause, he said, "This is a far kinder world than yours or mine, and he is a King who has the luxury of extending kindness and clemency to all without fear. It is a luxury that many would find enviable... including myself."
