Violet: I begin to understand, little by little, that why money is very important for human, and probably for us too.

Almond: We plant need only water and sunlight to survive. Human need house, food, clothing, as well as all sort of necessity and amenity. All of these require money. Poor human have to work hard all day long to feed themselves and their family.

Ruby: Let find a hotel, sis. Oh, I found it.

Girl: Hi, handsome, come check our girls. Oh, you have a lot already? Never mind, we have handsome men to serve women too.

Iris: This is a brothel, Ruby. It is used for different kind of purpose.

Ruby: What purpose?

Iris: Never mind.

Almond: Places like this are illegal according to the kingdom's law, but you can still find them everywhere.

Violet: I don't understand. Both sides of the act are willing to do it, aren't they? Then, why is it prohibited?

Almond: Uh..I'm not sure how to explain this because I don't completely understand it either.

Iris: Let just say a lot of human think buying a woman's body is not a very nice thing to do.

Almond: Hmm..just like selling one of your eye, perhaps. You are not supposed to sell it. It's kind of ...uh... 'inhumane', yes, that's the word.

Iris: I like that word, Almond.

Almond: Or selling your children. Even in some cases where the life of all parties in the transaction, the poor mother, the children and the rich foster parents, could be better than before. Human have to care about what other human feel and think too. Not just action and result alone.

Violet: Hmm..sound complicated.

Almond: However, there are some merits in this way of thinking too. Not every sale of children could be a good one. There might be some evil parents who care only the money and sell their child without thinking about them. Or some rich buyers who want to buy children for some inferior purposes. Therefore, it's more convenient and safer to just prohibit each and every of these inhumane transactions.

Violet: Hmm..I think I get it, more or less. Those goblins on the road, too, right? It's more convenient for us to assume that they are hostile and want to rob us.

Almond: Good point, Violet. Most of the time, we, and human too, don't have time and resources to make a hundred percent sure of everything that come into our life, and must act on the most likely possibility, or in other words, safety first, our safety, not theirs.

Almond: To summarize it, there are several things that, in human eyes, should not be sold or bought. Organ, children, family or body.

Ruby: Human's organs can be sold now?

Almond: It's just an example, Ruby.

Iris: But hiring mercenary to fight in war is allowed? Isn't it like buying their life?

Almond: Human is a creature of emotion, sometimes illogical. I think we need to live in human community for a bit longer to understand them perfectly.

Violet: body...money....exchange....body....money.

Iris: Stop thinking about it too much, Violet. We found our real hotel now, and this time don't buy the whole hotel, Almond....... or should we? [giggle] Just for fun.

[In the hotel room]

Ruby: This bed is so soft. I think we should get one for our lord.

Iris: My lord, come over here, sleep with me.

Almond: Yes, I think I will hire more human for this sort of thing. Our trents can't go deep into human inhabited area and buy stuff.

Ruby: Our coachman seems to be a good guy. Hire him too, permanently.

Almond: Human can produce a lot of things we can't, and vice versa. Trade will benefit us both. More and more human start to become familiar with trents, so we can trade or interact with them easier as time go on. Very soon Wevil will be able to talk in public without attracting too much unwanted attention.

Wevil: Yeah. I hope that time come soon.

Lord: Grapes..munch...munch...Good luck Astille brought it. I think one things we are way better than human is the quality of premium fruit and vegetable.

Wevil: Drink me. Drink me.

Lord: Let sleep early so we can enjoy this town tomorrow.

[In a different corner of the castle]

..............Holly is still crying as if it's no one's business.

[Peony's room, almost midnight]

Peony: Stop right there. You think you can walk away unscathed after you did this to me?

Lord: I'm sorry, Peony. I'm so sor....

Peony: Stand still over there and watch this as your punishment.

Lord: Watch what? Hmm.....oh that....no, not that.....oh.....Peony...could you stop being so erotic...

[Midnight]

Peony: I have to really stop thinking about these sinful things before bedtime. Now I can't sleep anymore. Maybe I should do it one more time.....

Several blue birds outside are chirping maniacally as if they don't want to see something again.
