"Very true." He nodded sagely. "I suppose that's for the best."

Silence again. It wasn't awkward to her because she didn't have a desire to carry on the conversation, but she couldn't speak for the others.

"Sooo...." Jackson hesitated. "Do humans eat different food depending on which human you are?"

"Not really. But some people like different things." She'd eaten everything from stray dogs to crawling insects since the war began. She'd forgotten what decent food tasted like. Thinking of any kind of fresh fruit was enough to drive a person batty.

She wasn't sure how to explain the concept of taste to a robot. "Like...just different things. There's more kinds of food besides bugs and dry bread. Or at least there used to be."

She sighed. "Like meat and cheese. And fruit. There's too much to explain. Back before the war nobody willingly ate any of the dried rations we're using now."

(Wow somehow I didn't see this?)

"How does it taste?"

"Not sure how to explain that concept. Fruit is usually sweet. Cheese can be salty. Do you know what any of that means?"

"Well can't help you out with that one. But none of those things are really available anymore, so you're not missing out."

"No, probably not." Jackson looked wistfully out into the wasteland and the setting sun. "I do wish I could experience something like that, though. Anything."

"Can you feel anything?" She had no idea to what extent these things functioned as humans. They seemed sentient and not merely programmed, but she wasn't quite sure.

"Emotions," Jackson replied. "Lots of those. And I sort of feel things physically? But I can take of my arm without it actually hurting."
"I can feel my joints freezing up," Bug volunteered morosely.
