Shi just shrugged. "It's just dirt." Not something worth getting upset over. After all, he had much worse in the trenches, or even when he was working in the fields back in China. He started his life as a peasant, and the working class is not something strange and foreign to him. If anything, it's the fact that he has enough money that the amounts no longer make sense is stranger.
"I'm Shi." Please no jokes about being a 'she'. Just because he was short and delicate didn't mean he was a woman. It wasn't his fault people had gotten taller than when he was frozen.
