Does Leah ship her sculptures only to other places that use single-letter currencies? Oliver was thinking about whether the local mine turns up Rubies and if so, are they the size of apples? Or alternatively are they realistically tiny gems, and then maybe Pelican Town doesn't consider Etsy-bought 'synthetic rubies' to be meaningfully different from Rubies that cost as much as a kitchen upgrade...
But it might take a while to get those shipped here, if mail back to Normality works at all, and Oliver is a bit suspicious about that.
"Perhaps I shall find contentment as well," Oliver says to Elliott in equally pretentious tones - that's friendly, right?
