Body aching from her battle and ego damaged she decided to take it easy and go eat somewhere. While walking she couldn't help feel repulse by the lack of cleanliness in most establishment, the smell of recycled frying oil or the gross presentation of most meal available.



At this point she would have preferred to embrace her yinglet roots and begin eating straight out of the dumpsters, probably less chance of food poisoning. Then when she was about to give up, a place caught her eye like a clean spot surrounded by mold.




'' heh whatever, if i die then least the pain will stop'' she murmured to herself as she pushed the door entering the purple themed food place. The air was fresh and the unique looking lady behind the counter almost felt alien to Neeva, a big smile and a voice full of optimism taking her order without complaining or looking exhausted.






Once her food arrived she sat down, the food looked edible but the pain from her burn scars and cyberlimbs made it hard to enjoy the moment. Needing a pick me up, Neeva light herself a smoke to ease the pain, they say cigarette ruins taste buds buds which is a shame due to her meal looking quite delicious but sacrifices must be made.



A shadow figure appeared from her dead angle and sat in front of her, the lady who took her order sat there with a awkward smile on her face . '' i apologize for the bother, but we don't allow.....'' she wanted to finish her sentence but somehow read through Neeva's eyes the pain she was going through '' n...nevermind we'll make an exception ''.



Neeva felt discomfort by her genuine personality, no hint of sarcasm, hate or lustful degeneracy like the others she met before. Curious she asked '' You always sit with your customers?'' which the lady chuckled '' Oh no no, i simply took a break and felt quite curious about you. Is it fine if we have a nice little chat?'' she replied.





While anti social, she didn't see anything wrong with it '' sure, name's Neeva... wish i could say more but i lost my memories'' Neeva said, putting her cigarette bud in a corner of her plate. '' Im Merry, i own this place and i was curious how you could eat a burger without feeling sick? Heard your species can't handle bread at all... if you want to answer! sorry if i sound too prying!'' her worries for Neeva's feeling gave her some hope that maybe life wouldn't be as bad as she thought.



She gave Merry a warm smile '' Honestly can't say much about this, im a yinglet by apperance but i doubt i fit the criteria elsewhere to be honest, by the way this place is amazing! Everywhere it looks like food poisoning if you stare too long, and the food is really good!''. Merry closed her eyes full of joy '' awww thank you! Might i add you look quite pretty, purple is my favorite color if you did not know'' she told Neeva making her chuckle in return.




They kept their friendly conversation until she noticed someone waving at her '' oh im deeply sorry miss Neeva but break's over haha, might be the boss but i can't be slacking. I would love to see you again if you don't mind, i'll give you a discount to ease your situation'' Neeva held back a tear from this kindness '' thanks Merry, i will def come back but right now i'll head out too. Got shit.... i mean i got stuff to do heh''.
