[Sarah hasn't been hungry or anything: she can easily enough convince the locals to give her the food she likes the taste of, like hot ketchup mixed with orange juice and steak sauce on blueberry scones, but she has started thinking about the fact that many of the people here aren't human. (Like her, but not.)]

What kind of foods are local to you? Is there anything that you're used to eating that you haven't been able to find here?

Like, I'm from New York, and we've got pretty good bagels there. Which is like bread with a hole in it.

[Bread products are always a safe bet, right?]

I think you can get it here, but I don't know if everyone could find that in their worlds, if they're not from Earth.

Or has there been anything you've never had before you got here that you've found really good?

Recommend me something, from your world or that you've only discovered here, if you feel like it.

[So she doesn't like a lot of things humans do (or not in the same ways they do), but that doesn't mean she won't try things.]

Maybe one day I'll get to visit. Anyplace slower than New York or Tokyo would be a vacation.

Why did you want to study mathematics?

[ If Sarah weren't a telepath she might say it's because mathematics make sense, but she knows what people think. ]

It's really interesting. And it lets me take the subject on my own terms, change how I interact to get a solution, because the numbers can't be altered.

That's true. I have a certain level of respect for those that can handle numbers.
