"Yeah. Just depends what you're trying to do." She smiles reassuringly. 

"I dunno, I have all this time, and people have gameified language learning, supposedly. My brother tried to sell me on Converse but I didn't like it."

"Oh! Well if you want to learn Voan, then I'm sure we can find a method that works." She pulls out her everything and searches for stuff. "Lotsa flashcard things... there are games, but most of the ones I've tried kind of suck as games. Maybe I could make a game, drawing on ones I already know you like. Be a lot of effort for a side project, but if it's also a programming exercise for me then I don't think I'm super against it. I can't do art, though, how do you feel about those super ancient games with like no graphics....?"

"They're harder to focus on and take actions with - text is less - prompty."

"Makes sense. We''l figure that out, then. I dunno any arty people off the top of my head who I can hit up for random projects, but maybe Kairda knows someone." She spends a minute messaging her aunt to think about the subject. "I can totally whip something up, but I will probably need some food before I do."

"Oh yeah, what do you want? I think we still have some potato stew but Lima can make basically anything."

"I'm good with basically anything."

She very seriously asks Kaloa what she recommends.

"Cheese bread," says Kaloa.

"She always wants cheese bread," says Klimati. "My mom thinks she needs more protein -"

"Cheese bread," Kaloa says again.

"We can have cheese bread," says Zada. "I think I'll have cheese bread and also whatever Klimati recommends, I want to be able to draw on a lot of experience when people inevitably ask me how the food was." 

"Maybe chicken salad," says Klimati. "Oh and nut cookies, those nice nut cookies with the ginger."

"All right, I'll put in the grocery order and get going on those," says Lima.

She is happy to converse and wait for food and hang out with her friend and her friend's tiny niece.

"Cheese bread is better than chicken salad," says Kaloa.

"Is that so?" asks Klimati. "Why's that?"

"It tastes better."

"But I like chicken salad more."

"But cheese bread is better."

"I'm sure they both have important merits as food items."

"Okay but cheese bread is better," says Kaloa.

"Mm. I think I'll have to examine the evidence."

Zada dutifully reserves judgement until the both cheese bread and the chicken salad are served.

Lima collects the grocery delivery at the door and tips the delivery purple and has cheese bread out eight minutes later, chicken salad fifteen.
