Forgive me the outburst. It wasn't fair from me to judge your home so harshly. I'm sure you and your people do everything you can.

[Anyone admitting they have a duty to the less fortunate deserves such apology from him. This awareness is what the Thornean crown is lacking, and why he's so mad at them for not having it.]

I don't know if you've noticed, but Thorne is quite different.

[He means the missing people of Nott that got here even before them. And the crown did not lift a finger.]
