"I mean, there are good people at home. Really good people, trying their best in a world that ain't all that friendly." Marcus doesn't want to give the impression that his world is a hellhole, even if his own life is... not the most cheerful.
"I dunno, I haven't gotten the impression it's all about the pants." He chuckles. "Maybe your second one's closer. Or maybe it's just because there's no overpowering need to be an arse. No resources to fight over, no land to claim. We're all on more or less the same footing. It's easy to be kind." And that's not a bad thing. The world would be a better place if kindness was easier to reach for more people. He smiles at Max. "Which doesn't make it any less worthwhile. I can tell you really put in the effort."
