"There's a thing humans make sometimes out of sugar and shaved ice and other stuff. It's tasty, but I don't have sugar here to make it with."

"Where does sugar come from?"

"Certain plants that don't grow here."

"Why don't they grow here?"

"Because they don't grow well in these conditions or haven't happened to spread here."

"Maybe if I go visit humans they will give me some."

"Humans often don't give things away but you could probably trade magic for it, if there was magic they wanted done that you could. Like making it rain if there was a drought or something."

"Yes, I could do that."

"Farmers are likely to want that!"

"How do I find farmers?"

"Do you think you could tell land that has been cultivated by humans from wilderness?"

"I don't know!"

"Well, if you see a mostly-rectangular place where there's lots of only the same plant growing, it's probably a field, and if there's a human living near it they're probably a farmer."

"Ooh. Why rectangular?"

"I think it's easier to plant crops that way but I'm not sure. You could ask a farmer, if you meet one."

Nod nod.

"Mind, a given farmer isn't necessarily going to have sugar."

"Oh."

"Not every human has every thing humans have."

"Are there just a lot of human things?"

"Yeah."

"Are there a lot of humans?"

"Yeah."

"Are there more than there are spirits?"

"I'm not sure but I think so."
