"There's plenty to sell." Orient argues. "I'm going to look and see if anything will fit me, even. It's fun to have nice things, sometimes."

Uriel decides that he just doesn't know how to explain his sentiments to orient, so he won't bother. He takes off the rest of the outfit he's in, and starts to put back on his normal clothes, all about as out of view of the mirror as he can.

"Uriel..." Orient starts, walking forward again. "I want you to have them."

The boy shifts uncomfortably, "That's nice of you, but I don't want them."

"Why not? You've accepted other gifts from me before."

"I'm not refusing a gift from you. I just don't want these clothes. They aren't for me." He finishes getting dressed in his baggy, old, threadbare things, and feels much better in them.

"But Uriel... you're so beautiful... these things you wear normally don't even give anyone a chance to see it."

The boy looks rather upset, which is strange considering Orient was complimenting him, "I'm not beautiful."

"I'm not! I'm a horrible person." Uriel replies, shaking his headm because even though Orient knows he's a purple, the pirate doesn't seem to properly understand the situation.

Orient comes up beside Uriel and runs his hand over the boy's arm. "Now, I haven't known you your whole life, but if the person you were before is like the person you are now, then you aren't horrible at all."

Uriel shrinks away a bit, "You don't understand, what it is, to be a purple."

"Then tell me." Orient replies. "Because I want to understand. I want to know why a wonderful boy like you is angry at being called beautiful."

"I'm not beautiful, and I'm not wonderful. I'm a purple. I'm the lowest of the low, the worst humanity has to offer. My very existence is sin." The boy practically rants, his tone suggesting that all these things should be obvious.

"Why? What made you a purple? Weren't you born like this? That tells me this isn't your fault."
