"Maybe when I can swordsurf I will go get chocolate and vanilla and tomatoes and pineapples and maple!"

"I don't know what those are but I'm intrigued." 

"Chocolate and vanilla make dessert amazing. Tomatoes are for making tomato sauce which is good on noodles and the aforementioned pizza, and you can use 'em in soup and salad too. Pineapples are a really delicious fruit. Maple is a tree with sweet sap that you can boil into a syrup."

"Oooooh." 

(Wei Ying is going to get to try all these things if Lan Wangji has to personally fly over multiple oceans to make it happen.)

"There's probably even stuff that grows on this side of the sea that doesn't happen to grow here or hasn't been imported."

"Most likely. Even just the different ways places cook things with the same ingredients, you can taste so many different things traveling."

"When you have all the ingredients for a thing I can tell the cooks how to make it!"

Hmm. Better to ask Isabella to tell him instead of the cooks, or ask the cooks to tell him afterwards. He will probably have some amount of time to ponder this question.

"Going to ask your brother to look it up, or do you just know already?"

"I have ever looked at a recipe in my life, and when I haven't seen one for something I ask someone, but it doesn't have to be Alex any more, I have the telepathy working for anyone."

"Who would you talk to about something like this?"

"Probably my mom but maybe I'd ask one of the people who's volunteered to read me stuff in general in their spare time."

"Says something pretty unfortunate about our generation that I'd lowkey assumed your parents were dead 'cause aren't everybody's." 

"They are both alive and well back home. Though they are divorced."

"Huh. You know, I can think of plenty of people who probably should have gotten divorced, but none who actually did."

"It gets more common in the modern day for various reasons."

"Probably a good thing."

"People usually don't think so but compared to divorce being all but impossible, yeah, I agree."

"One of the people who should definitely have gotten divorced is Mo Xuanyu's biological father." 

"Do you, like, have his memories, or..."

"Noooooo but I met someone on Dafan Mountain who recognized him. It was slightly awkward." 

"Who?"

"Jin Ling." 

"Mn."
