[ Vanessa stops sooner than Red, though that doesn't keep the enticing scents from tickling at her nose. From behind, she can see that she underestimated some of what was offered. If she had the energy, she might feel pity that the orphans get so little, but that concern won't fix anything. Buying them all something from here would only set back her company's progress, and it won't help the orphans in the long term. Only policy will change that, and here they are just foreigners with no power. ...If she's to treat all of this is real...anyway. The smells certainly seem real.

[ That, especially is of keen interest to Vanessa. She feels certain she'll know if Red's lying, though she'll also understand she may keep the secrets of others. ]
