[ Sugar rationing... While Dolores had never dealt with that herself (being not actually human or living in a real setting for much of her life), she understood the concept. She smiles a little and gestures for Mirian to take a seat again as she moves to the kitchen to grab plates and napkins. ]

Was there much rationing of other things as well?

[ She's genuinely curious, but adds a moment after: ]

I haven't had to deal with rations, per se... But we had to make do with what we had around the ranch when it was a bad year, so I can understand it a little, I think.

[ She sets the plates on the table and opens the box to reveal two large creampuffs. ]
