[ Having grown up in poverty, Troy knows what it's like to live in a place like this. Sanduguan might be different from his home country entirely, being in a different planet and all, but it brought with it the same issues he was all too familiar with. The rich taking all the wealth for themselves, leaving the poor to stay that way. As it's newly appointed king, Troy is making some changes within the society. But it will take a lot of time. Politics isn't as simple as he initially thought, and there remains many who want to keep the status quo.

So he does what he can, helping his people in the best way he knows how: by actually being there on the ground with them. Troy bought a new pair of shoes from a local vendor, just to give Alex something to wear now that she lost one shoe. Troy even went ahead to put the shoes on Alex since she seem distracted by him, making sure to do so gently in case she sprained her ankle earlier. He's not sure if she knows who he is, but either way he didn't feel weird at all to do that. ]

There you go. Sorry if they're not your type, I just grabbed whatever I thought looked nice.

[ Troy's got a better eye for fashion than he gives himself credit for. He got her some sturdy pumps that matched her outfit. He stands with a relieved sigh, showing off his height consequently. ]

You good? Don't worry about paying me, too.
