The kitchen appliances only require supplying if they have exotic tastes.

"How does that work?" she asks her tablet.

"Ingredients for common recipes, eliding the ways in which the food generation process is different than the one English speakers have in mind from the words 'ingredients' and 'recipes', are supplied automatically through the building's internal systems, like water and electricity are. It's more efficient than having people purchase them individually when they want them."

"Well, that's convenient. I should teach you the alphabet and how to spell so you can subtitle movies for us."

"That sounds great!!"

So she teaches it to write.

Meanwhile, Xander, who cannot magic himself clean, takes a shower and then asks his tablet how he'd get a change of clothes.

He can get some delivered! It can produce some options for him.

Xander is not used to local fashion but can pick something okay-looking and not too femmey off a list.

The shopping service informs him that the delivery time should be in about two hours.

Cool. He will wear a towel around for two hours so as not to scandalize his sister.

"- which can be spelled either d-o-n-u-t or d-o-u-g-h-n-u-t, I think the first one's a simplification derived from the second - hi, Xander."

"Hey.

"We live here now."

"Yeah."

He flops his head on her shoulder while he waits for his clothes.

They arrive at the promised time.

Isabella fetches them at the door for him and he changes.

And once the tablet knows how to write they can go see what's playing in the theater. "- or can we, do we have money, does it cost money -"

"You have an expense account."

"How do we use it?"

"You can give your name and room number and deliveries, as well as events in this building, will be automatically charged to you."

"What if we want to pay for something that doesn't take place in this building?"

"You buy it online."

"So no cash, no cards, I just buy it the same way I would a delivery?"

"That's right."
