With the hat secured on her head, Danika moved on to start eating. Her initial reaction was to stare at the food and to observe it. Never before had the child had to eat something so big. Usually, her dishes were much smaller than this, or they were but a simple piece of food, such as bread. She couldn't remember the last time she'd eaten such a big dish. Her family had never been very rich, much like every single family in this town. The restaurants here were more for the tourists and an attempt by the city to get some money somewhere.
Once the child was done observing her own food, she slowly moved on to checking out Sibyl's seafood. She had seen pasta and sauce before, she'd seen bread, butter, fruits, vegetables: she'd seen all that. Despite all that, the child had never seen food such as shrimps and fish. She saw fish displayed on the store shelves now and again, but they had never attracted her much. Not only that, but it usually smelled nasty compared to other foods. Sibyl's dish smelled just that, and Danika curled her nose and grimaced from the smell.
Not that the behavior bothered the albino. Most people couldn't stand seafood, but the child would have to get used to that. Fish was good for you, and they had a lot of things that other foods didn't have. She cracked a shrimp open and ate the flesh inside, dropping the shell to the side. "You like your food cold, then," Sibyl commented as she noticed the child still observing the food instead of eating it.
When she heard the comment, Danika sat back down on her chair and looked away sheepishly. "I-I never got to eat so much food before," the child pointed out, trying to get over her amazement at the amount of food in front of her.
Sibyl tried to keep herself from rolling her eyes. "Child, there will be many more things that you have never seen or experienced before," Sibyl pointed out, the child's hesitation and never-ending wonderment starting to grind on her nerves. If everybody acted in such a way all the time, the world would never move on. "Get used to it," she added, picking out another piece of fish. While the child hadn't even started eating yet, the albino was almost done eating her platter.
While the words were a little hurtful, Danika had to admit that the albino was right. There would be so many more things that she had never seen before, and especially if she would start traveling with Sibyl in order to learn more about using dark magic and wielding. "Sorry," the child muttered as she picked the fork from her utensils and finally started eating.
