You would say that, but I would say that it is contingent upon the nature of the volunteer, wouldn't you agree? What their intentions are, and the strength of their will or whatever it is that happens to drive them to help others. How far they are willing to go...

[...how much they are willing to sacrifice.]

You speak of trust, speak of being saddened by a lack of it...but I believes that trust is something earned. Courtesy is given, but trust...that must be carefully doled out.

In any case, my volunteering should not come as a surprise. We do not know one another. Not yet, at least.

[Chrollo's smile is met with continued stoicism...but this time, also with a hint of curiosity. He appears to be a forward-thinker, someone with bold ideas and ambition enough to support those ideas. That could be a good thing. Or it could be bad. Saber is not yet sure which...but she wants to know.

After all, she knew another man like that once...]

For what it is worth, I acknowledge your promise of future assistance should it ever become necessary, but I assure you, I shall never permit it to come to that. I will not become a burden upon those I seek to help.
