You don't usually eat? Or you can't eat?

[Important distinctions are important!]

[coinstability]

I can't. I'm an android.

[Hopefully that explains it well enough. It varies person by person whether that's an understandable reason why not.]

[seeingscarlet]

[She'd guessed it was something like that - he's clearly got some cybernetic components, at least.]

I've known some that can if they want to. I wouldn't want to take your cookie if you could.

[coinstability]

You don't have to worry about that. I've been given so many of them at this point that even if I did eat them, I would probably have had enough by now.

[These feasts are so intense about sharing.]

[seeingscarlet]

[Wanda lets out a small laugh.]

They're very generous here. Food, this necklace...I feel bad that I didn't bring anything to share, too.

[coinstability]

Why? As visitors we had no knowledge of the local customs before arriving.

[seeingscarlet]

I don't like being empty-handed. Winter isn't the easiest season at home.

[coinstability]

[That makes sense. Gift-giving is usually a reciprocal affair unless it's for specific events such as birthdays.]

Where is home for you? [Then he adds:] I understand we should be here for a while, so there's still time to give something back to others if that's what you want to do.

[seeingscarlet]

Sokov-- [nope] New York. On Earth.

[She'd spent so long stubbornly telling herself that the compound wasn't home, that she didn't have one anymore, that even though her feelings have changed it's still a common mental slip. Whoops.]

What about you?

[coinstability]

[Strange - she'd changed her answer partway through. A recent move, perhaps? Connor can't identify the location without the full name... and ultimately it's not too important if she's given another answer.]

I'm also from Earth, but Detroit. Though I understand there are different times and versions of Earth represented here.

[seeingscarlet]

It can get a little confusing. Some of our worlds sound so different.

I'm from 2015.

[coinstability]

I'm definitely getting that impression.

[2015 - not the same as others, but in the same decade as at least one or two people he's spoken to already. Connor nods, accepting that much more easily than he did his first few days in the Fleet.]

It's 2038 for me. There's a wide range of time periods represented from the different Earths.
