Now, being compared by Lance and belittled against Alhazred, the accusations and neglect made his emotions unbearable, leaving him stunned for a moment.
At his age, with his strength, being scolded was something hard to endure, wasn't it?

Being of humble origins, he was genuinely afraid of poverty. If he could attain these resources, further advancement would not be impossible.
Alviss could feel his body's aging; even legends could not escape life's inevitable cycle, though some special methods existed.
