Kara occupied herself taking in the details of the city. She could hear everything happening around her, even if there weren't any conversations. Someone somewhere was grumbling to themselves? She does her best to pinpoint the sound, but there are too many other people in the way. She gives up that angle.

She hears several someones turning pages, like those of ancient paper books. One person is typing on a keyboard, from the sound of it. Why only one? Are computers so rare here?

When the food arrives it takes a second for Kara to realize it's happening here and not somewhere else.

Her mystery cooked organism smells amazing, and she wastes no time whatever digging in. If there's any impurities from the water quality she can't taste them. Luckily it can't hurt her, either.
