Skeptical reds.

"It's understandable if you won't believe me right now, I'll work up to that. What do you say I cure you of every malady you currently have and get you some food and water to get started?"

"Do you need us to come out, to do that -"

"No, I can do it from here, unless this settlement is much bigger than it looks and there are people very far away from here."

"Some people might be out looking for food."

"Okay, so I'm gonna heal everyone here and then go find you food and when they come back you can tell them about this?"

"...okay..."

"Okay." And she can hear their heartbeats so she knows where to aim, and she throws a fuckton of health and youth at them, which should feel variously good depending on how bad they were feeling before and how old they are.

There are assorted cries of surprise.

"I'll go get the food. Be back in a bit."

She runs. She has actual, real money now, so she can use that to pay for various nonperishables which she surreptitiously tucks into her bag of holding. After she's gotten what looks like enough food to last them a month, she runs back.

Hopefully she remembered to fix her hair before approaching a shop.

Crystal reminded her.

Then she will be able to make purchases after figuring out the currency changing procedure without further incident.

She doesn't dawdle and is back in as little time as she possibly can.

Most of the reds currently outside do not run.

And are there any new ones she hadn't healed and youth'd yet?

A couple.

Health and youth at them.

"I have food," she says, and starts pulling it all out—much, much more than should possibly fit in the small pouch she's carrying.

"- how -"

"Magic," she says, simply.

"What is a magic person doing here, I don't understand."

"This magic person wants to fix every problem ever, and the way this world keeps treating a subset of its population like garbage is a problem and I intend to fix it."

"...so you're seasoning the poles? And then we can live there?"

"Yes. And I'm gonna eventually teach you all magic, too."

"It's learnable?"
