"Well, there are lots of them, so it'll be easy to find one on the drive."

Lily smiles and nods along, and keeps her ears out for any sign of their orders being brought out. 

It's kind of fun, being out in public with a secret like this. She's not trying super hard to hide it, but does keep mentally revising her sentences to take out phrases like "on this planet". It's kind of like she's playing one of those sport deception games.

Sable smiles and waits as well.

After a couple minutes, there's a call of "three eighty-two!"

Sable steps up to the counter and accepts a tray containing two boxes and two cartons of fries.

"Want any ketchup or anything for the fries?"

"I liked the ketchup on the hot dog earlier. Sure, I could have some." 

Then she grabs some little dipping cups of ketchup, sets them on the tray, and heads out to find an empty table.

The luck out and there's a good one near a fountain, so Sable picks that and sits down, then figures out which burger has no lettuce and slides it to Lily's side of the table.

Lily stares the burger down, with its strange vegetables she has never tried before. 

She screw up her courage. 

She takes a bite. 

"Mh!" She blinks and her eyebrows jump. She chews deliberately, once, twice, three times. Then she swallows. 

"That's actually really good! I like this sauce, it's not like anything I've had before. And the veggies actually really enhance it. With the meat it works really well!"

She takes another eager bite, and then keeps going. 

Yessss. She's introduced her (adoptive) daughter to a new food she likes. Victory.

Sable grins wide and digs into her own, savoring the spice, occasionally taking a break to sip her soda or eat a fry.

"I'm so glad you like it," she replies between bites.

Lily finds herself caught off guard by the subtle spice, and takes a long drink from her orange cola to cool her mouth a little. 

"Starting to get the feeling you might be better at this food thing than I'm used to, if you've got flavours like this just kicking around at a random fast food place." Then she takes another eager bite of her burger. 

"Yeah, one thing I definitely like about this place is the variety of cuisines we've come up with. Definitely bringing a bunch of cookbooks and prep guides with me if we figure out the trick, eventually."

"To a good first year in San Francisco." Lillian raises her cup of cola in a toast. 

"And to finding family where you least expect it," she replies with a grin, touching her cup to Lily's.

Lily nods, and goes back to her burger. Over the next half a minute she quickly polishes it off, and makes a solid dent in the fries before stopping. 

"Think I'm going to stop there," she says. "I don't need to eat all these fries. Especially if I'm going to get convenience store treats." 

She gets up from the table, and offers her hand to Sable. "Off for more cultural education?~" She grins.

Sable lifts up the tray with a smile and squeezes Lily's hand. "Off we go."

She buses the tray and throws out the trash, then leads the way back out to the car with their shopping bags.

Lily gets into the car, and stretches. "Whew," she says, once the doors are close. "A little tiring being out in public on an alien planet, but that's alright. Convenience store and then home?" 

Sable nods with a smile. "Yep. And then we set up our new toys and try some games."

She starts the car and drives out of the parking lot.

Lily busies herself with the album of CDs again. "Is there anything in here that's similar to what you played this morning?" 

"Well, Paramore has another album, or you might like My Chemical Romance, or maybe All-American Rejects? Or feel free to try any CD near there you like the look of. I try to keep loosely similar sounds together."

"My Chemical Romance sounds interesting. Any particular one of theirs you'd recommend?" 

"Try The Black Parade."

"Alright." 

She puts in the disc, and is met with the quiet beeping of some technical instrument... oh, that's a heartbeat... 

She listens. 

Sable enjoys the album and drives.

It rocks pretty hard. The lyrics are a little hard to make out, but what she can parse feels good to her. It's not stealing her breath like Paramore did this morning, but maybe that's just because her guard is more up right now.
