Relief washed over Eliezer as they moved away from the crowd. Not that it was apparent. He very rarely strayed far from his usual demeanor, if ever. It was something that had been subconsciously trained since he was young. When they had found some privacy, he only listened to Raven as she began to further open up about her past. He then watched her give some of what she had to the two children who had approached them. At that moment, her small act of generosity meant so much more than the charity he and his family had shown to the commoners. The royal family may have been rich in material wealth, but these villagers, they were rich at heart. This had Eliezer questioning the perception he had all these years. Were they simply different, or was there truly something he was lacking?

He finally spoke again, deciding to share his thoughts and perhaps, lift the spirits of his lady. "You see, I show kindness to my people merely because I have been taught that it is right, and that I would gain their favor by doing so. You do the same for those in need, but because you know what it is like to be in their place. It is not what has happened to us that makes us who we are, but the choices that we make. In spite of all the hardship and rejection you have faced, you have chosen to persevere, and to still care for others. That is what makes you somebody amazing in my eyes. Do you understand now?"

Eliezer then continued, this time attempting to open up himself. "I regret being unable to empathize with your pain, my lady. I had servants catering to my every need as I was growing up, the very king and queen of Dainia guiding me into becoming a person, and my brother as my closest confidant. It was only with Prince Mathazar's aid that I am able to see you today. I cannot imagine what I would do without him. When the time shall come for me to inherit the throne of Dainia, I owe it to all of them to do my very best for the kingdom."

Her mention of the ball caused him to wonder how she had been able to be present at such an event. According to her, it had been because of a certain 'master', whom he assumed to be the adoptive parent of Raven and a few others, that she could attend the ball as a guest. As far as he knew, every guest at the ball had been invited by the royal family, and the fact that he had not even found her familiar the night before made it all rather peculiar. He would guess from her skills that she was newly hired as a royal spy for the kingdom, but he would not know for sure until he had asked.

"Pardon the change in subject, my lady, but I am curious to know your affiliation to my family."
