"It's not a problem. Aside from Joe, who had the initial idea, there hasn't been any recognition of donors. Bar knows, and that's all that is really needed."
"I've greeted more than a few of them when they first arrive, and I know that very few have any chance to prepare. Those that aren't Bound do have options, but the rest? I'm just glad to do what I can."
"Well, thank you for allowing me to feel like I can do something to help. I am a wizard and on my homewo4rld was used to helping people out a great deal. Here, I find myself not wanting to ah, step on toes, I believe the phrase is? So I hold back more often then not. It feels good to be able to help, however little."
"There are many who prefer to be given the chance to take care of themselves; it's a matter of letting them handle things on their own when they can, stepping in when they can't, and being able to tell the difference."
"I am yet... not so good at such. I had not spent much time around people before coming here to Milliways. Thus my , ah... social skills? yes. My social skills are somewhat rusty. I think."
"This is why I try to spend some time down here of an evening. I want to know..."
He stops and then starts again.
"Before I came here, I truly didnt even think about it, but coming here and being around people awoke a desire to know and to understand people, as much or more than my desire to learn magic. For me, it is sometimes odd to realize how little I understand of those around me compared to the mysteries of magic and time. It is, at times, terrifying... and yet...."
"I know the feeling all too well. Before I came here, I tended to avoid social situations beyond what I had to deal with through my job. I could stop a revolution with literally nothing to work with but the clothes on my back and what I could find along the way or organize a battle with only twenty-four hours' notice, but you practically had to drag me to go out and relax in a social setting."
"Pardon me, Madame?"
(ooc: I didnt think they had met, but I cant remmeber, or find a memory of such a meeting.)

He reaches into a pocket and pulls out a large pouch, whose strings he opens. He looks into it then nods.
"This is the one."
He hands it to Snow. It is full to the brim with diamonds, saphires and rubies, legacy of a long ago raid on a Dragon's hoard.

"Thank you. IT is good of you to run this. There are many who seem to come here all unprepared."
