"Ooooh, where on Earth? I live a couple hours by train from Venice, near Austria and Slovenia! Does your Earth have Venice? Have you ever been? You should totally visit, it's so different from all other cities! And there are no cars! And there is a bookstore with cats!"

The drink is almost, but not quite, entirely like a persimmon lassi, if persimmons were fluorescent and sometimes blue.

"I've never been to Venice but my Earth does have one, it has canals instead of streets and I hear it's really cool! I was from a deeply boring small town in America and now I'm from, I guess a city called Kenabres in a country called Mendev more than anywhere else."

She sips her drink; it's delightful.

"You should! They do everything on boats, it's crazy! Even ambulances are boats! Oooh, I've never been to America. Well, I've not really been abroad except for Austria, Germany one time and I guess Slovenia when we go to Trieste which is near the border because the fuel is cheaper there, but we never stop for long. Where did you learn Italian? I could have never guessed you were not mothertongue!"

"Ambulance boats, wow! Also I'm not actually speaking Italian right now, I have language magic up! Two kinds of it, even. I actually never left the US when I was on Earth, it's really cool that you've been to four different countries."
