Vivian had almost been dreading another event, still mentally on the mend from the last one.  She knew not going was not an option, so the blonde decided she’d bring Frankie along with her for comfort. He seemed to be enjoying all the attention as the two perused the different stalls, which elevated her mood significantly. As the vampire stopped to get her and her furry date a snack, she hadn’t even realized Frankie’s leash had slipped out of her hand until it was too late. “Frankie,” she called out, in mild panic. He was normally the most well-behaved pup,  but he was no stranger to chaos. 

Eventually, she spotted him at a nearby bench, charging up to him in relief. “Frank Einstein Ambrose!” she called out to him in her sternest mom’s voice, the recent purchases jumbling in the plastic bag as she approached. “You are in big trouble, mister,” she added, before rounding a tree that had been blocking her view of the other side of the bench. “Oh, uh… hey,” she added with embarrassment as she was caught off guard by the person Frankie had been bothering for pets. .

The life of a modern witch was in one word, expensive. Between certain spells Valeria needed to cast for luck to the hexing spells she used for protection, resources drained quick. So did her cash. Hence why she found herself pushing a shopping cart in the grocery store nearby her apartment, eyes scanning each aisle she came across. An assortment of spices, herbs, and some treats for her furry friend pooled at the bottom of the cart. Tripod, the three-legged black cat seated in the child seat meowed at her owner. 

“Hush, I need to find the right paper plates and if you’re not going to help me, be quiet,” The witch snapped, playfully glaring at the animal. Continuing down the aisle, Valeria spotted the set she needed, going towards it. As she neared it, the blonde realized how high up the plates were. Internally, she wanted to scream. It would have been so easy to snap her fingers and use her powers to bring it towards her. But she was in public, it would be stupid to do that. Instead, she found herself climbing up on the lowest shelf to try and grab the item. After nearly falling off twice, she accepted defeat and sought out help. Spotting a person a few feet from her that looked to have a few inches over her, she went to get their attention.
