"Some of it is, yeah. The part that does seasons and wards and the healing thing."

Permalink

"...not the part that does the bag or the going fast?"

Permalink

"Yeah. I could probably make you bags like this but the mechanism to make them itself is a unique resource, and the going fast is my species. It might be possible to turn you into something like me but it would probably be a very, very bad idea." 

Permalink

"...why?"

Permalink

"My species has several drawbacks that are extremely hard to compensate for without proper infrastructure and it is expensive enough to set that infrastructure up that it's worth more to do—something like what I'm doing instead."

Permalink

"...go feed individual refugees?"

Permalink

"Build a place where you all can live, create a working trustworthy process to bring reds there without any massacres, scale. But I don't want to implement any large-scale changes like that without at least getting to know any reds, getting at least a sample of what it's like, what you want, what you need as a caste, as opposed to whatever filtered info I get when dealing with the few blues who care."

They look at each other. One of them opens up a loaf of bread and a thing of veggie dip and starts eating.

Permalink

She finishes unpacking their food. "I can take this wherever you want."

Permalink

"People'll want to come and pick things out."

Permalink

"That works, too. I don't have the purity taboo so I don't actually mind touching things you touch but I understand if you're mistrustful of that."

Permalink

"...people won't want you to touch them or their things after that."

Permalink

"Part of my magic includes being able to decontaminate even more thoroughly than their more stringent requirements."

Permalink

"Oh."

Permalink

"Yeah, so that part's fine. If you still prefer to come get the food then by all means, but if you'd rather I can just drop it somewhere better for you."

Permalink

"Here's fine."

Permalink

"Okay. I'm gonna go buy you medicine and bandages and stuff, then—is there anything specific I should get you?"

Permalink

The doctor has a list.

Permalink

She memorises it and asks them whether there's anything more they need and then goes to purchase everything.

Permalink

They could use a generator too and some clothes.

Permalink

Those are also purchased.

Permalink

They set them up quietly.

Permalink

Do the reds want to request anything else? She can start warding the area if not.

Permalink

A couple of kids look like they might want to go up to her but their parents are nervous and stop them.

Permalink

She does not react to that, and starts setting stuff up.
