Why was Mister Fa'afili so insistent on taking his bag?
Malachi reminded himself, in the wake of his sudden defensiveness, that the older man had been nothing but polite thus far and likely only wanted to ease his burden. It was not that he cared if someone touched his things, but he was hesitant to part with it.
"Oh, ah... of course. Thank you, Mister Fa'afili."
After a quick glance down at the bag, he finally handed it over. Heavier than it even looked, filled with everything the priest had to his name, which... was not all that much, vow of poverty considered. Malachi's small smile turned somewhat sheepish.
He turned, light on his feet, and made to at least get the door for the one unfortunate enough to be carrying his weight.
