"I have an extra sense for relationships and heroes are highlighted."

"And your abilities are somewhat unusual."

A curious head pokes out the top of the mecha. "...they are?"

"I mean, maybe the wizards could have managed to make a new kind of troop with one or two new abilities like yours, but even then it wouldn't be easy."

"O-oh." The elemental doesn't seem to know what to do with that.

"Are you okay?"

"I- yes." (Mostly.) "Just. Strange." (To be told it was worth more than its worth as a battery.)

"Look at it positively. Strange can be good."

That's sure appears to be this settlement's motto.

"Mm. Guess so."

Smile.

"It... doesn't sound that you had the opportunity to do a lot of things?"

Head shake. "N-not really."

"Do you... eat?"

"-Never had to before."

"Do you want to try?" Felix says conjuring an apple.

The elemental moves along the mecha's arm again, stretching out to sniff at the apple. "I- maybe?"

He offers the apple for the elemental to take. "You just bite it and then chew on it a little before swallowing."

The elemental takes the apple, the skin scorching slightly from the fire. It's not entirely clear how it consumes the apple, but consume it it does.

"Did you like it?"

"Yes? I- I think so, yes."

"Wanna try more things?" He conjures more food.

"You can try to take a bite from each thing to get a taste. We can just vanish them back."

"-That's okay?"

Felix conjures more food, in simple clay plates, and offers them again.

Well, if they're there...

The elemental is still a little hesitant, but does try the offered foods, sometimes needing a couple of bites to decide whether or not it likes them.
