"So we have to."

Blink.

"...We don't have the problems clean-caste Amentans have with reds."

"Yes, we can tell."

"So we don't want you to starve?"

Blink.

...Odette emails a transcript of the conversation so far to Peka.

Can you just say "I'm bringing you stuff and you don't have to pay me for it and here is my email which you should send further orders to just like you would to your delivery purples but you can splurge since you don't have to pay for it seriously I don't give a shit" instead of trying to walk her through why you are doing that? Like, eventually she will get the picture but the only way you can convince them that you don't consider it reasonable to just leave them in the arctic to starve is by not doing that for an extended period.

Yeah, okay.

She says the thing.

"...okay. Thank you," says Store Red.

"You're welcome."

Reds start investigating the food and putting it places.

She refreshes the heat sources and flies back south.

The Tapai farm purples are there if she wants to resume farming!

She will definitely resume farming! She needs money to support the pole reds.

Farming will fill this need.

Yay.

At least she has gotten efficient enough at it that she can pay attention to other things at the same time, like studying languages.

There are many.

She focuses on ones liable to be useful in the nearer future, like Orvaran and Voan.

There are resources available to learn with. If she wants to be read books by live people the Tapai will arrange that too.

She's fine with internet resources for the moment.

She would like to visit Voa and talk with their government at some point, though.

Would she like to accompany the Tapai ambassador's staff?

Sure let's go with that.

Then she can accompany the Tapai ambassador to Voa. The ambassador assigns her a blue to help her navigate stuff.

And what is her assistant like as a person?
