....Yeah, okay, I admit I don't know what kind of world or life you come from, so I could be way off base on making any assumptions. But- let me explain something that sounds like it doesn't get taught to Blood Elves often.
Not letting a kid you personally know die horribly from something you might be able to easily fix? Isn't generous or worth praise or whatever- no, that's just not being a total shithead.
[LIKE SERIOUSLY, IF SOMEONE SAYS NO TO HELPING WITH YOUR DISEASE- THEY ARE A SHITHEAD]
But...ha, yeah, it's better to see in person than explain. I'll see you soon.
[Belth is stunned into silence for a good... twenty seconds. Might even think he's hung up. But no, he's just staring blankly at the communicator and wondering when his life became full of people who gave a damn.]
If... if only more people thought like you. [His voice is soft and surprisingly fragile at the edges.] When the Sunwell was destroyed and my people slaughtered, there were survivors who were turned away from shelter. No kingdom, human or dwarf, sent anyone to help. We were abandoned. Our own prince betrayed our people and threw us away, too.
[He knows there's nothing he could really say to make it better, he doesn't know enough about the situation. Maybe the humans and the dwarves had their reason for not helping, maybe they didn't. Maybe they needed an excuse for a pretty race to join the Horde. He doubts the reasons truly matters to a kid like Belth. Why would they?]
Still...I guess stuff like that makes it all the more necessary not to be a total shithead if you can help it. [There's enough terrible things in the worlds. Kaneis, unfriendly as he can be....has long lost interest in adding to them]
I don't want pity. I just want you to understand why I am not used to relying on other people. [They can't be trusted half the time, though he is... making an attempt.]

So... yes. It is quite a surprise.

I'm sorry. That must've been hell.

But... you do have a point.

It's not pity. It's acknowledging that sounds shitty.
[You can't see it, but he shrugs]
Yeah well, I get those sometimes. Anyway, swing by the Wonderduck when you can. I'll be here.
