The old man realized he bothered the girl and cleasred his throat. "Perhaps you are tkaing things the wrong way. You see, we all have the desire to stand on our own two feet. We can accept help only when necessary but that would begruttle our pride. Humans are foolish,prideful beings, but through this pride we have kindness, respect. It doesn't matter what class in society we belong to, we all wants to stand by ourselves, to be independent. While accepting the money from you would help, I wouldn't feel comfortable becuase I didn't earn it. I don't want to feel spoiled, even as I get old I wish to earn things in my own way. It has nothing to do with connecting with others, its all about being able to stand independently." He continued as Zaffre nodded her head.

"You are a kind child, and willing to help others when they need it. There are times people will accept and not accept, because they don't want to feel like they owe you, or they don't want to bother you. Independence is the key trait as we grow as humans. If we are independent, people can come to rely on us, and we can teach those people to become independent. If people were to give them things, the selfishnes in them will grow and they wil lcome to rely on you for support, and not stand by themselves. Do you understand? That is why you need to chose your words carefully."

"What he is saying is that, we need to do things for ourselves, and at the same time teach preople how to be independent. If we are all capable of being reliable, we ahve a better chance of surviving against the Grimm." Zaffre summarized, hoping she did it correctly.
