"I think people are hoping you've got some magic 'don't get fat' pills you'll give them." It's the most logical answer Ver has come up with for most of those questions, because people don't want to hear about exercise and a balanced diet. "Hmm, if you'd like, there's a nice bakery near here. We can hit it up for dessert."

So long as Trixie's comfortable at the table, Ver won't worry too much about how she's managing it. "Cool, sounds like we're set then." She sets the menus down at the edge of the table to signal that they're ready to order; she'll be getting the beet carpaccio.

"So, what kinds of things do people eat where you're from?" Verity's trying not to assume it's hay and apples, especially given the references to sweets. But she wouldn't be surprised if apples are popular.
