"I cannot speak for them, but I can tell you why I do. You are very kind. You are sharp and quick to learn. You are very compassionate, listening as you did the other night to my woes, reassuring me that all I needed to do was give Gorlim time.

Sometimes you care for someone because there is something about them that just ... calls to you."
