"Indeed, as you said." Ron did not deny the need:
"I've been considering this issue, but suitable residences are not easy to find."
"If you don't mind, I'd like to offer you a residence."
Cassius' proposal surprised everyone present slightly:
"It's a three-story building located in the North District of the Central Lands, with a quiet surrounding environment, quite suitable for academic research."
This straightforward generosity made Ron frown.
In Wizard Society, equivalent exchange is the basic principle.
"I appreciate Professor Wandell's kindness."
He did not accept, but cautiously responded:
"However, there is no free lunch in this world; if I accept such a gift, I should offer equivalent return."
This reaction pleased Cassius even more.
In Wizard Society, someone greedy won't go far, but those who know the limits are worth long-term cooperation.
"Since that's your stance, Ron..."
