As much of a coin-pinching cheapskate as ever, [yes, if anybody is calling Ali that, it's Concord. He feels the King tossing a glare his way, if not scolding him outright, such bickering was not wise to get into in front of him.
But Concord is not the most wise, so he goes on with pushing back,]
The Kingdom needs to show generosity at times like these. What is the point of dust gathering gold when it could be in the hands of our own people? The people who protect the Kingdom, no less. [his quiet, level tone helps the King hear his argument better than if he ever spoke loudly or with aggression. Insults, maybe for Ali being the way he is, but never yelling or kicking up a storm. Concord had a certain civility that kept arguing level headed to some degree.
