"You should eat something," Victoria insists in an almost motherly fashion. "You can finish up later."

Judas huffed and rolled his eyes, but stood from his chair, carefully laying the papers that were on his lap in a neat pile on the desk. "Yeah, yeah, okay."

Victoria hands him his food in triumph, grabbing her own afterwards. "What'd you get, anyway?" she asks, sitting down on the floor of the shop.

"It's from a restaurant owned by a family from the same colony as me. So meats, sausages, pastries, rice. Stuff like that."

"Hey, tell me more about this colony you come from," she says a minute later as she eats. "Where is it exactly, anyway?"

"It's to the west and across the sea, about three day's boat ride-- if the ship is helped by magic, of course." Judas shrugged, staring at the food. "It's not one of the colonies of this country. Portugal owns it. It's called Brazil."

"I know about Brazil," Victoria comments. "But what's it like there? I've only seen art and photographs of the place."

"It's very hot. And humid. Since the cities are so big, people have to live in smaller, very poor cities in the mountains. They're called favelas. And every week there'd be the traveling markets, the feiras, and they'd sell foods and products that were hard to find anywhere near the area that we lived. With the money from the shop, I was able to move my family down to the city. Less dangerous there."

Victoria nods. "It sounds interesting. Might be somewhere I'll have to visit and see for myself, once I have the money, of course."

"Yeah, maybe so," she agrees with a small shrug, picking at her food. The desire to eat is fading, even though the food's good, but she makes herself take a few more bites.

"You could meet my family. See the sights. There's a lot of interesting architecture around the colony. It inspired a lot of my machines."

"Meet your family?" Victoria pauses for a moment. "I guess I might have to learn some Portuguese then, huh?" she continues in an almost quiet voice. "I do think the architecture would be neat to see though."

"I could always act as translator," Judas shrugged, serving himself a second helping. "And some of them know a bit of English."

"I'd actually rather learn the language," Victoria replies with a small shrug, leaning back against the wall and closing her eyes.

"Suit yourself." Judas cleaned his plate, taking the rest of the food and putting it away in the refrigerator. "Do you feel up for some more work?"

"Yeah, I guess so." Victoria stands and stretches for a minute. "What do you need me to do?"

"There's a bottle under the desk. Bright red, should be steaming. I need you to pour that inside the horse automata's hatch. That should be just under the ears."

Victoria finds it after searching for a moment, picking up the thin-necked bottle and watching the liquid curiously. "What does it do?" she asks, heading to the metallic equine.

"Keeps the gears clean and moving for much longer. That's how I can guarantee my customers that they won't have to grease or oil it for years after buying it."
