"What kind of meetings?"

"Any kind of meetings that are not secret would be fine for that."

"Yeah but what is in them."

"People talk about how projects of theirs are going and what projects they think are a good idea and how they can help each other get things done."

"In mine we mostly try to figure out what we think of the evidence about a law and, if we think it should be changed, who would be good at designing a changed one."

Nod.

"...I need to write things down," she says. "Secret things."

" - okay. Do you want to learn how to use a computer, or do you want to write things on paper?"

"A computer is fine. You won't look, right?"

"Of course not."

"Good."

Computer!

She is not familiar with this computer but has perhaps interacted with alien ones in the past.

"If you'd rather dictate to it than type there's a feature for that."

"I don't want to have to talk to it. How long does learning to type take?"

"I would expect someone your age to mostly have trouble with the writing and spelling but if that's not a problem then not very long."

"I can spell. I think."

"Okay. Why do you want to write things?"

"So they won't go anywhere while I think about them and I won't forget about them later."

"Okay." Pat. "Have fun and let us know if you need anything, okay?"

"What is the best way to learn to type?"

"There are games for it, but I think many people just learn by doing it."

"Okay. Where do I find a game for it if I decide I want one?"

He can show her the game store and some games that are for children learning to type!

"Can I buy things?"

"Yeah, go ahead. There's a cap on the account - that's just to stop sleazy companies that make it easy for children to spend lots of money accidentally, if you're getting things you want we don't care how much you spend."
