Then Pelape is going to sit here doing the dishes till the head housekeeper wants her in the laundry room and then she's going to do that. Eefa can fold, at least the things that aren't too big for her to neatly fold.

Eefa has never folded laundry before and will need to be shown how.

Pelape starts to demonstrate but then the housekeeper directs her back to actually cleaning the laundry and demonstrates folding herself.

Eefa can learn from the housekeeper. It's more interesting than sorting utensils.

Purple work till dinner.

Eefa looks at dinner suspiciously.

It's some kind of meat and vegetables and a peanut stew. Pelape thinks it's pretty good.

"Not hungry?" she asks Eefa.

"Why are they feeding us twice?"

"I guess that's how often they eat around here. I'm used to three meals a day, personally, but two's what comes with the room."

"Why more than one." Eefa can basically survive off one meal the size they gave her this morning. Two is suspicious.

"It's more comfortable? I guess they're giving you a grownup portion size so maybe you don't need two meals especially if you're used to one, I'll eat yours if you don't want it."

"Can I eat yours?"

"Like you want to trade plates, or you changed your mind and actually you're really hungry?"

"Trade plates."

"Sure." Swap.

In that case Eefa will eat the food, putting what she doesn't want in her pockets.

"- Eefa, I did my best to clean your clothes but they're still clothes, that's not a good way to store snacks."

Eefa looks at Pelape but doesn't move to take the snacks out of her pockets.

"We can ask in the kitchens for snacks that can go in pockets, okay? But if you bring food like that into our room it's going to attract pests."

"I want it."

"You can eat it now, but -

- okay, I'm thinking of myself as taking care of you, and part of taking care of kids is making rules so they don't do things that'll harm them in ways that aren't obvious to kids, like by attracting pests. But if you don't want me taking care of you, then - bringing food into your own room you had to yourself could be between you and the Elysium staff, and I can get a separate room. Would you... rather I not try to take care of you?"

"Can your powers fight people?"

"I don't know."

"They can undo other locks?"

"Probably."
