( there are few words in the english language as especially alluring to kara as free food — though complimentary or gratis often do the trick. suffice it to say, kara's quite pleased with the opportunity to (yet again) stuff her face with as many varieties of sweet or savory delicacies as she can get her hands on.

and, knowing miss kara zor-el, the number of Things She Will Eat is pretty damn high.

there's no such thing as too much free food when your metabolism is out-of-this-world. kara happily grabs thirds or even fourths of something she really likes, and should she happen to find herself greeted by the smiling faces she knows so well from wok and roll, she'll clear their entire platter with a sheepish smile and a greedy pair of hands and then find herself somewhere out of the way to devour them.

if there happens to be someone waiting impatiently behind her? well, they'll get a sheepish smile too, followed up by a shrug and an explanatory: ) Sorry. They're... they're really good. Do you want to share with me?

( and by share, kara really means do you want one, not do you want half. because she's hungry, okay? and maybe a little greedy, too. )

( it's been a few weeks since the mystery toddler's equally mysterious disappearance, and kara's finally managed to let go of the lingering disappointment that had settled in her subconscious. that is, until she catches sight of the ever-so-delicately colored tents opposite the plaza, and curiousity gets the better of her.

as hesitant as she is to give in to the temptation of so many adorable onesies and knitted hats and ever-so-soft blankets, at least there's no actual babies here. it's just ladies gossiping over busy work for a good cause, and that makes kara feel a little better. especially when a friendly face — stranger or friend, doesn't matter to her — settles in next to her, looking like they need a little direction on how to be useful here too. )

I think this is a great idea. I wish they did this at home, baby stuff is so expensive.

( not that kara's ever had a baby, but she'd been to plenty of showers for expectant moms during her tenure at catco. )

( wildcard me! whatever you feel like! if you want to hash things out, you know where to find me. )
