"Are you kidding me?  You've never had a hot dog, really?" Natalie asked, her eyes going wide in surprise at Sarah's admission.  "I thought everyone had those," she smiled, letting her friend know she wasn't making fun of her, only surprised and curious.<br/><br/>She shrugged as Sarah left, turning to offer some help in carrying things for Erik, if he'd let her.  "I think I'll take one of each, please," she said, hoping she wasn't making herself sound like a person who ate massive amounts of food or anything.<br/><br/>"So how did you hear about this place, if you don't mind my asking?" she asked Erik, curious, but also attempting to make conversation, and since the activities of the week were on her mind, the question came naturally to her.  She was sure he didn't want to spend all the time talking about himself, and maybe this would get them started and lead to more general conversation, she thought.
