And I'm a mage, which means I've been considered as not even a person for most of my life.

I joke, because that eases conversation between equals. I am a person, you are a person. I'll choose not to hold your nobility against you.
[That might be a joke. It might not be. He doesn't let it linger all that long.]
The poor in Darktown need food and blankets most of all. It's cold and damp down there which means they fall ill easily and food rots. Walls and such, they can use repair, yes, throughout the place, but too nice of a residence could get families targeted by gangs and pushed out. Beds... beds will mold and mildew and become infested, but of actual use there would be straw, cots, and bedding rather than what we have up here. Shoes. Shoes would be good too. I've got medical and educational needs covered, but it's those things, the tangible things that take money, that I can't do.
