[All right, he'll bite. Maybe regret it later, but...]

Some of us have seen worse, Princess. Or endured worse. This place is a step up from where I've spent the last ten years or so of my life, so I'll take it.

Not sure I appreciate being called a beggar, though, when I've tried my hardest to not take a handout from anyone without giving something in turn. Still, you seem pretty frustrated, so. I do kinda understand where you're coming from.
