Cash poured out his entire satchel of gems into Reimu's hand as he took the carrot.  He answered as he started chewing on the carrot,  "Well, yes, this food is corrupted.  But out here in the wilderness where you don't have a nice strong wall to hide behind, might makes right.  If you're not fast, strong, smart, tough, you're going to get shoved around and people are going to take anything and everything they want from you.  The food at Kleine might be 'pure' but it's not going to do anything more than keep you alive."<br/><br/>He held up the carrot he was eating, "Now this on the other hand, it's got powerful magic in it, the essence of the land.  It will make me faster and better able to survive out here.  There's a downside, yes, sometimes the corruption causes changes."  He points at his green skin, "This green skin came from eating too many leaves I found in the forest for example.  But even this is good.   I've watched wounds heal slowly over a very short time when I'm out in the sunlight.  It's like my body is part plant now and it enjoys the sunlight.  They say that the plants are a little safer than the meats around here... but I don't know if that's true or not."<br/><br/>"Make sense?"
