In the morning there are faint sounds of people moving about.

She prestidigitates herself and the bed and her clothes and her teeth clean and gets dressed and wanders in the direction of movement.

There are a handful of people of assorted genders and ethnicities having breakfast in a kitchen area.

...she forgot that she doesn't speak the local language. She will creep back to her room and grab her spellbook and - no need to prepare everything now, she'll just do tongues and comprehend languages then cast the former and head back to the kitchen.

"Hi."

"Hello!" says a cheerful looking young woman with very dark skin.

"Hello. I'm Lotus, I appeared out of the blue last night. May I share some of your food?"

"Sure, of course," she says.

She eats quickly and mechanically, pausing occasionally for conversation. "Do you have a name?"

"Kendra. Yours?"

"...Lotus. You, um - feed? - Kanimir? What is that like, what makes you decide to. um. do that?"

"...Well, he houses and feeds us."

"...And that's it? He's not teaching you magic or anything?"

"No, why?"

"Just curious. It sounds like a bit of a one-sided arrangement."

"...Well, it really isn't. Why does it seem that way?"

"It might just be that I'm unused to consensual vampirism arrangements. But - room and board just doesn't seem like enough compensation for having your blood drained regularly. Nevermind, I suppose it's not important."

"I was living on the streets before I got here. I didn't know where I was going to get my next meal."

"I suppose that makes this an improvement. How did that happen?"

"I couldn't get a job because I didn't have an address."

"That sounds backwards."

She shrugs.

"I guess where I'm from maybe has some advantages over here."

"Kanimir mentioned someone could teach me how to find information on the internet?"

"...Uh, yeah, sure, do you already have a device or do I need to go get one?"

"I don't have a device. All of this is new to me."

"...Okay."

She goes and grabs a laptop and explains Google.
