The day passed slowly, and I was exhausted. We looked through countless stores, but I found nothing I wanted. The only thing that piqued my interest were books, but the Countess told me that I should visit the library with Jahi instead of potentially buying a book that we already owned. Grumbling at that, I let her take me to more stores, some meant for young children, others hand carved trinkets, and so on. I found them interesting, but not something I would buy. Thankfully the Countess got tired, and took us to a small food stall that was selling meat skewers. My mouth watered at the scent of seasoned meat, and my tail started swaying.
The Countess chuckled before buying a couple. She handed me one and I started devouring it, not caring that it was scalding hot. I was smiling as I ate, and the Countess laughed again, poking my cheek that was puffed out.
"You look just like Julie back at the Academy. She used to stuff her face like this too."
