Kate doesn't mind it at all. She... did sorta give him a free pass to ask her questions, and she does mean that.

"Um, so— wow, okay 3.9 don't let me down." There's a little nervous chuckle as she takes a moment to find the best way to describe it, then breath to brace herself. "A vitamin is a... micronutrient. A lot of them have chemical names, but we call them vitamins too. Our body needs them to remain healthy. Like keeping bones strong, or helping our blood to clot or strengthening our immune system."

Ms. Grant would be pretty happy with that answer, she thinks.

"So yeah, you're right in thinking it has something to do with 'vitality'." It helps them live. "But we can't make them ourselves — so we get them from the food we eat."
