I wouldn't really know how you can go about translating those things you mentioned except for this one: > 2. When X offers Esmé some cinnamon toast, she says 'No thank you. I eat > like a bird, actually'. Is this some special expression or does she simply > want to point out that she doesn't really eat that much? Yes, this just means that she is a light eater.
