Chioss cuts it up into little rectangles and puts each in a separate tupperware. "If you want more of this later, there it is," she says, fridging the tupperwares. "You can eat it cold, or get help microwaving it if you want it warm, from us or the night shift orange. It'll be good for three days but by then I expect we'll have more food in the fridge!"

She blinks at Chioss.

Wow what is with her today.

Eefa can play - Chioss puts out celery sticks but does not particularly draw Eefa's attention to them - till bathtime and bedtime.

Eefa takes a celery stick and then puts it back after realizing that they'll probably get angry if she has food in her room tonight. 

They are certainly watching her to make sure she doesn't. Mikko puts on some music.

Eefa is not going to do anything that will draw more attention to herself tonight if she can help it.

Alas, there are not many other things to distract them from her so they will notice if she goes for a celery stick and secrets it away.

Bathtime. Bedtime.

Eefa lies awake in bed for a couple of hours, her eyes wide open, wishing she could run away to somewhere where she could keep her own food. Eventually she falls asleep anyways - it's not like being awake was helping.

In the morning there is breakfast as soon as she's up, hot porridge and stuff with which to adulterate it!

Sure, she'll eat that.

And then they will put on the TV. Children's cleaning show about purple twins who can change size, cleaning every nook and cranny in their house of crumbs and dust and polishing all the fixtures while learning about chemistry.

Eefa is extremely confused about every aspect of this show.

If she says anything about it they can change it but if she doesn't they're going to marathon the whole first season. The twins get tall to dust the tops of shelves and learn how dust forms and then install an air filter together! The twins get very tiny and have to swordfight an ant with sewing needles to get it to go home without telling anyone back in its nest about this crumb that they clean up, while learning facts about the way ants leave chemical trails and find food! The twins become compact and travel through the air ducts to discover that the reason their cousin got the sniffles last time she was over is that the ultraviolet is broken, and they fix it and learn about how ultraviolet acts on particles!

She won't say anything but she will give Mikkos a look of utter bewilderment during episode three.

"Amentans can't really change size," he tells her.

"And the cleaning?"

"They're doing chores to help their family out! Being able to get bigger and smaller makes them pretty good at cleaning, so that's their job."

"Chores?"

"Chores are jobs that you need to do to keep a house nice to live in, like cleaning, or cooking, or fixing things that break."

"They won't be allowed in the house if they don't keep cleaning?"

"...no, their family wouldn't kick them out of the house, but it's part of what they do to help out their family."

Something about this seems very suspicious to Eefa though she's not exactly sure what.

"I'm not sure what kinds of families you've met before." There is a morning snack available. Apple slices and nut butter.

"The regular kind."

She will eats a few of the slices but no nut butter.

That's fine. As long as there's no smuggling. "Different kinds can be regular in different places!"
