[ and that's essentially the understanding he thought Cairn might have. Other humans might have a bad impression of him right off the bat, seeing as most thieves don't give two figs about doing the right thing - but they're willing to accept what he says for exactly what it is. It's kind of nice, actually, although he does like the "bad boy" impression when it works for him. ]
Human laws are complicated, and there are plenty of times when they're just vague enough to let people get away with all sorts of things. If you have enough money, you can pay your way out of any trouble you get into.
[ wait, do they even know what money is... well, he's not quite ready to explain that, so he just waves a hand. ]

[ Law??? Money?!?!? There's so many words he's using that are lost on them... so they're thankful when he waves his hand dismissively, since it gets pretty tiring having to ask for a definition for every little thing. Not to mention that it makes them feel pretty stupid. ]
I don't know about that.

It's just that us gems are all supposed to be equal. Even in beauty...so naturally it seems wrong for some to benefit more than others. I'd probably get annoyed if life was like that too, but I don't know if I'd go around stealing stuff to remedy it. Honestly, I'm not even really sure how that's supposed to help the problem.
