"This counts as a gift, a token between friends!"
Orion, worried that Scarecrow might not accept, made a special point of clarifying.
After Scarecrow confirmed the transaction, he sent his reply.
"Your gift is very precious. I really like it!"
"You bought so many seed. Will you still need to purchase food in the future?"
As a friend, Scarecrow had concerns and didn't hold back, asking directly.
"Yes, definitely. There's a huge shortage."
"The reason I'm buying seed is because the food deficit is too large."
"..."
Scarecrow responded to Orion with a string of ellipses.
"Do you have a lot of food over there?"
Orion tentatively asked this question because he wanted Scarecrow to serve as a transit hub to acquire more food for him.
Scarecrow immediately grasped Orion's intention.
"You want me to help you buy food from others?"
"Yes!"
Orion was straightforward and admitted it right away.
"That's possible, but the price will be 30% higher than what I personally sell you."
