Here is a perfectly ordinary nightclub. It isn't open yet; there's a custodian straightening things up, and the DJ assembling his equipment, and a bartender putting her apron on, but no one is looking at this particular corner of the room.
"I thought I heard that bigger humans were better off because they have more food and can survive lean times more easily, but maybe I am confused!"
"This grocery store does have more human food in it than I had ever seen in my entire life before I appeared in this town, but I hadn't seen very many human settlements before then so I wasn't sure how normal that is!"
"Probably I will still be here in a few weeks and I can ask for an early shift to look at the trucks!"
Buying food with an employee discount seems worthwhile on consideration! She does that. It is good to be well-fed. Human bodies do all sorts of inconvenient things when you don't feed them. (They also do some inconvenient things when you do feed them; she takes care of some of those on the parts of her lunch break where she is not eating.)
...the sheer delight involved in Bird eating ice cream for the first time may be slightly alarming to passersby.
"I wonder what it is like to taste things the way you taste things instead of the way I taste things! The way I taste things makes ice cream better than pizza. Currently. I used to taste things a different way than that but it was worse."
"I already ended up tasting things differently once! It could happen again," says Bird. "But probably not."
Bird's lunch break ends and she goes back to work. After work she intends to use her employee discount to buy cake mix, and then perhaps she can learn how to bake cupcakes.
That sounds complicated. She will bring the cake mix home to Keith and ask him which other ingredients and/or tools this project needs and which of those ingredients and/or tools he has already.
Bird would like to try many new foods! She will accept recommendations but doesn't want to repeat anything unnecessarily during her first few days with access to a grocery store. (She does express a wistful desire for more ice cream, though. But if she eats ice cream now, it will interfere with her ability to try more different novel foods, and what if one of those is even better! No. She will be strong. Novelty above all.)
