It is not a question of how much I need, but how much you would be willing to contribute. I'm in the process of setting up a small church with a shrine to Pol dedicated to the children. Whatever you would like to give would be appreciated.
[He knows Hermione would be able to transfer the resources quickly, which counts.]
[Kirei has a lot of things to sort out about Leathann. Her comment, that "making them like us a little more too", it highlights some difficulty for him.]
You have my gratitude. I can only hope it will lift the spirits of the people.
[And so:]
Miss Hermione, it may be disrespectful of me to take up even more of your time, but may I ask a question?
Your thoughtfulness knows no limits. [As for the question... Sorry, Hermione.]
I will state it clearly. I support the Seelie cause, and with it, the Void. Would the High-Queen look down on me for assisting the people of Leathann as I am?
[Yes. He is not intending to save Leathann, in the sense of preventing the Void from overtaking the island, if it does. That, Kirei has no confusion about whatsoever.]
Would she look at it as an act of betrayal, then, if I were to help some migrate overseas?
[This, he does. Even if he would never intend it as betrayal.]
But Kirei is grateful, and satisfied by her answer.]
Very well. Thank you. I figured you had met and spoken with the High-Queen before. I will not move until I've spoken with High-Queen Solais myself, but I had been troubled with that concern.
I have, but - I'm sure she won't mind. You can ask her yourself next time there's an audience. I'm not certain when that will be, but she deserves time to mourn.
Of course. The loss of the High-King was a great one. [He still doesn't know how to react to it, even now.] Thank you again, Miss Granger. I will look forward to receiving your donations. Take care.

Of course, Mr Kotomine! I'd be more than happy to. Just let me know what you need and I'll arrange some resources for you.

I'll send you some money for the building... And I could make some toys, if children do show up? I can enchant them, too...
[ She's considering it, humming to herself. ]

[They come look at the non-smiling priest dude...]

[ She really needs to get around to sorting her space at Leathann out. ]

I hope it can. I'll see if I can bring some food and blankets over from Treun, too.
[ Oh! She doesn't miss a beat, simply - ]
Of course, please do.

[ Um. ]
I don't think Solais would look down on you unless you decided to use what you're doing in Leathann to betray her or the Seelie Court, Mr Kotomine.

I think helping the Natives is an admirable thing that the Queen would like to hear about, honestly.
[ At least... For now. Until the war is over, until... She doesn't want to think about the rest. ]
