Enough...
Why is this the attitude of everyone?
Not disdain, not contempt, but curiosity, amusement?
Why... why do you all act as though saying, "Look, his helper is a talking dog"...?
Extraordinary beings do not disdain mortals, not at all.
Marlina had seen this more clearly than anyone during this time—they simply do not care about mortals.
The adventurer on the carriage, threatened by Ansel, didn't mind apologizing to a mortal, feeling not the slightest bit of shame.
Just as his initial insult to Marlina was devoid of malice—mortals and they belong to different worlds altogether. What right do mortals have to provoke any malicious intent?
Who would whimsically decide to "insult" a dog, an ant, a toy?
It's just indifference.
Marlina recalled her first encounter with Queen Bee Yvaine.
She remembered how Yvaine had laughed heartily when Marlina threatened her, much like this Mr.Hastings' current reaction.
