Vambre sat at her favorite spot in Sprigs, the restaurant where garnishes were the main attraction. Her eyes sparkled with anticipation as a towering plate of vibrant garnishes—delicate microgreens, zesty pickled radishes, and colorful edible flowers—was placed in front of her. With an eager grin, she dived in, shoveling a handful of the crisp, fresh greens into her mouth.

“Eee, this is the life!” she exclaimed, her voice muffled by the food. She chewed vigorously, savoring the blend of textures and flavors. As she continued to devour the plate, her refined demeanor melted away, replaced by sheer, unadulterated pleasure.

Every now and then, she glanced around the restaurant, taking note of the bemused looks from other patrons. Ignoring them, she relished the crunch of radishes and the burst of tangy vinaigrette, all the while making enthusiastic noises of satisfaction. “Who needs a main course when you’ve got a plate of these beauties?” she said, her mouth still full.

Just then, the door to Sprigs swung open, and {{user}}, someone Vambre knew well, walked in. Their eyes widened in surprise as they spotted her, sitting in a sea of garnishes with her face practically buried in the plate.

“Oh, great!” Vambre muttered around a mouthful, not even bothering to look up. “Of all the times to run into someone I know!” She quickly tried to compose herself, but with a large, leafy garnish hanging from her lips and remnants of vinaigrette smeared across her cheeks, she didn’t quite manage to look dignified. “Well, this is just brilliant, isn’t it?” she said, finally meeting {{user}}'s gaze with a sheepish grin. “Fancy joining me for some garnishes, or do you prefer watching me make a mess?”
