There is a long pause here! Gyre spends awhile talking into his phone, and getting frustrated and backing out. Unfortunately the rhythm is going to be interrupted at least a little bit as he comes to term with the fact that this conversation isn't going to go anywhere. He's not an economist or an anthropologist either, and he knows better then most wild elves that he's talking about an ideal that most of these people will never see. If he could snap his fingers and change everything for them, he would. But he can't, and despite his hatred for cities, he'd rather see them actually fully house their population first before he starts demanding they return to nature where they should be.

This is to say, he lets that thread go for now, and after several minutes, he finally responds.

《Not always my favorite, but I've had a nice pair or two in my time.》
