she was used to a certian air of decadence.  say whatever you want about such people , but she had been raised a princess and lived as an empress for quite a number of years.  until everything came crashing down , that is.  but one simply doesn’t learn how to live like a normal person ( if you would be so inclined to call a beast such as her ‘normal’ ) overnight.  she’d had just over a hundred years since her prison break to learn normal.  for the most part , she was good at it.  but she also missed the lavish clothing , the decadent parties , and a person standing close by to fetch whatever she needed.  perhaps one day she would live like that again.  but not today. 

today , a fresh paycheck in the bank , she decided to splurge a bit.  it was wrong to do so.  she should hoard every bit she earned to perhaps one day live that lifestyle again , but sometimes she needed a taste of it.  nor could she ignore the locals’ tone when they talked of manducare.  for a month she’d had the mind to go there , but simply needed the money. 

dressed in the finest clothes she could scrounge out of her closet , she entered the establishment with a smile on her features.  for the next hour or so , she’d have a little taste of extravagance. 

until the little bell on the front door rang again and another walked in.  a red bottom lip had to be bitten as she took in how stunning the woman was.  maybe this really was her place.

“Spooky spaghetti?” The suggestion elicits a snorting laugh from Tia. Not a dismissive one but one of true amusement brought about both by the idea of what ‘spooky spaghetti’ would entail and by the fact that she was at the drunk point of the night where she could still understand what was going on but it made everything was hilarious.

“Like when adults would say spaghetti was guts and blood to gross kids out?” She questions her words a bit slurred from her drinking. That’s a fond memory she has of the orphanage. Every Halloween the people in the kitchen would make spaghetti along with what they called ‘dirt and worms’ which was just a cup of chocolate cake with gummy worms in it. It felt odd to remember this all of a sudden.
