Re: Robert/Mike
"I didn't mean being poor is better," Mike said with a laugh. "Just that maybe it's a good thing understanding what life is like for others?" Mike suggested. "Not that we're really poor. There are people that are far worse off than we are."
He reached out and patted Robert's shoulder. "I can't offer you a cook or a maid, but we can go take some more food here. You can pretend it's your cook who made it."
