I don't think I have a grasp yet of how - flexible your world's rules are.

Permalink

What d'you mean?

Permalink

Like, how much of it is cultural norm and how much of it is - necessary to a happy relationship - some of it might work and some of it really, really wouldn't - 

Permalink

The cultural norm is like, a menu. People pick all kindsa things off it. You are still not going to get pizza at a sushi bar but if you're, I dunno, allergic to fish, you can get those cucumber rolls? But guess how much I talk to my sister about her ideal sex life, it is not a lot, so I don't have super forecasting ability.

Permalink

And the person with the super forecasting ability is the one we're trying to predict. What's pizza, what's sushi, should I try those?

Permalink

They're food and yes you should "Hey Bella let's do pizza for dinner."

Permalink

"Ooh, did you find a good place?"

Permalink

"I did! They do goat cheese!"

Permalink

So they go get pizza. Pizza is flatbread with tomato sauce and cheese and assorted customizable toppings on top. Isabella gets a lot of toppings and eats most of a pizza by herself.

Permalink

This is predictable! She tries a lot of toppings too, why not.

Permalink

Humans are pretty good at food.

Permalink

They are. She has lots of compliments for the human food.

Permalink

The restaurant proprietor would like to know if he can take Maitimë's picture and have her sign it and put it on the wall of famous people who have eaten here.

Permalink

He is delighted! He takes a very flattering photo and prints it out and gives her a pen and then puts it on the wall.

Permalink

She is happy to be of assistance! "Where to next?"

Permalink

"Should probably extract your mom before the library closes. What else do you want to see?"

Permalink

"There's like an aquarium and a water park but they won't be open that late either..."

Permalink

"Just walking around is fascinating."

Permalink

"Walking around it is."

Back to the library to regretfully inform Fëanáre that libraries have operating hours.

Permalink

"At home I'd just go 'yes but I'm royalty', does that not have an equivalent here?"

Permalink

"Not really. You could check some things out? If they don't require residency..."

Permalink

"I've still got a Jacksonville card, maybe they'll take that."

Some finagling later Alex is able to check books out for Fëanáre.
