It doesn't need to be certain, the people here merely need to think it is certain. Judging by what has already occurred... At least some of us believe her claims.

[tacklefordwhimsy]

It's nice to see you have a level head on your shoulders. Did I say that right? I'm not sure how the saying goes.

[Really, she meant to compliment you! You're good, Adelina, well done!]

[bloodbiter]

Oh... Thank you for saying so. I could say the same of you.

[tacklefordwhimsy]

Here, come with me! Let's get you something sweet as a reward! A celebration to being rational people!

[bloodbiter]

[she can't help but laugh]

A fitting celebration, I suppose. Shall we?

[holds out her arm, moving to link it with shelley's]

[tacklefordwhimsy]

[Sure, link it]

Feel like trying something new? I bet there's something sweet you have never seen back at your home and now you'd like to try. Ask for anything and you'll get it.

[bloodbiter]

It's a bit hard to think of something... I'm certain there are foods that never existed in my world, but it's difficult to ask for one with no knowledge of what they may be. Would you happen to have a suggestion?

[tacklefordwhimsy]

[Oh dear. Shelley starts enumerating food]

Flan, pudding, pies, cheesecake, ice cream sundaes, caramel, there are so many options I can't even think more than those right now! It's all worth it, I promise you that.

[bloodbiter]

[one thing sticks out to her]

...Cake and cheese seems a very strange combination.

[tacklefordwhimsy]

It's not like people stick a whole lot of cheese into a cake. It's more like...like people can make a cake out of cheese! It's quite good.

[The modern world has a lot of good food and you'll realize that someday]

[bloodbiter]

It sounds strange enough that I do believe I must try it. Is that satisfactory to you as well?

[tacklefordwhimsy]

You betcha.

[It doesn't take long for Adelina to have a portion of cheesecake in front of her. It seems Shelley gave a series of precise instructions to the serving robot. It's quite appetizing, this cheesecake!]

There we go! This recipe is what I'm used to have. You should find it excellent...I hope!

[bloodbiter]

[tentatively taking a bite, and her eyes light up]

It's delicious! It's certainly not what I expected from the name. Is it a common dish in your home?

[tacklefordwhimsy]

There are factories dedicated to making cheesecake.

[Granted, that's an exaggeration. It's just the name of a restaurant franchise, but it isn't like Adelina will find out this tiny lie]

And it's always delicious.

[bloodbiter]

[she pauses, considering that - context clues help, but she still needs to ask:]

I imagine a factory is a group that makes one specific ware or good?

[tacklefordwhimsy]

More like a place where a lot of people work to make a lot of something.

[bloodbiter]

A place where people concentrate their efforts to develop one thing... I think I understand. Like a farming or fishing village?

[tacklefordwhimsy]

Yes, like that! Just smaller.

[But you get the gist, and that's what matters]

Does your world and time have sweet stuff like this?

[bloodbiter]

We have desserts, certainly, even if I have not encountered this one before. My favorite is blueberry tart.

What about you? Is this, ah, cheesecake your favorite?
