"I dunno. Some kind of food you like."

So now they have linguine in clam sauce and a side of broccoli with hollandaise! And dishes.

Whoa. Food.

Tiro is tentatively enthusiastic about the food.

Yay! "Have you been eating bacon and nothing but? ...Do you even have a way to cook the bacon?"

"Yeah, I can cook the bacon. And I have fruit trees and vegetables and stuff."

"Okay, so you're probably not desperately malnourished. Have a multivitamin anyway." Cam hands him a multivitamin.

...He blinks at the multivitamin.

"You swallow it - or chew it, if you prefer, but it is not delicious - and it contains various nutrition so you don't come down with some deficiency of something? Or don't, maybe you're immortal enough that you could survive on bacon alone, I don't know."

He shrugs. He swallows the multivitamin.

"I mean, I did mention that I can't starve. It's really uncomfortable but it doesn't seem to impair me much."

"Well, I wouldn't want you to be really uncomfortable with the symptoms of magnesium deficiency!"

"Thanks!"

"You're welcome!"

And resume lecture.

Learning is fun!!!

"Do you also not need sleep?" Cam eventually wonders.

"Iiii do still need sleep. Unfortunately."

"How often? It's been a while."

"Once a day is supposed to be the ideal! I should go do that, huh."

"I could make you a house first, but a whole mountain range, if that is where you want your house, will take a while."

"I mean, I have, like, a bed. Several beds. They're downstairs."

"Okay. Would you like to wake up to a mountain range, I don't usually sleep."

"...I'm torn between 'yes I would love to wake up to a mountain range' and 'but I wanted to learn how to design mountains first!'"

Cam laughs. "How about you wake up to, like, three mountains, and I can show you what I'm doing as I design the rest of the range?"

"You know what else I want that I don't care much about having design input into? Weather. What can you do about weather?"

"I can make clouds! And air of various temperatures! I am not a weather expert so I'd like to be a little conservative about that until I can survey the whole planet and run simulations but I could make it rain locally and not have to worry about it much."

"I would be really happy to wake up to some rain!"
