[ This, indeed, sounds very much like the man Yuri knows. Dimitri puts others before himself, so much so that it draws the concern of those closest to him. Yuri didn't have to know him terribly well to be aware of this, not with the microcosm their camp had become by the time he joined the Kingdom Army.
And that knowledge, even from a peripheral position, is enough to instill a measure of concern. However thorny this Dimitri's path has been, his words are sincere. Yuri feels safe in surmising that he's a good man and will be a good king when he's afforded the time to enact his policies. ]
Looking out for the wellbeing of your people is important. And I know no other leader who means all of his people, when saying such things. [ Save for himself, he supposes. But he's commonborn, it's only natural that he be aware of the struggles of people like himself, who came from nothing. ] But don't forget to include yourself on that count.
[ Dimitri has to consider himself, his wellbeing. ]
Can't take care of others if you don't take care of yourself, yeah?
