Mika's Purchase
Katina Galateo could not often afford treats. She had a low paying job that mostly served for bills, important household needs, and the rest was often put into savings. If it wasn't in her food or needed budgets, which she counted as a bill, the woman had a certain amount she required herself to put into savings. Anything over that could be for treats but there was very rarely over that amount. That had been the case till very recently, when she'd taken to doing overtime as an editor as well as a bookbinder. She was no high price publishing editor, but just a straight up printing editor, but that was enough to line her pockets slightly more than usual.
The woman had decided to be just a little daring today and so had been looking very long and hard for a proper kind of treat. Something that might last, right? That was good, she hoped. There were so many things that one could get with money, she almost had to stop and do a stupid little excitable jitter dance about it.
Eventually, Katina settled on getting herself some incense – a little pick me up for at work or in the mornings! That should be good! She'd seen a shop for it, that seemed like it would suit. The woman went in with a slightly silly determined look on her face. She was going to find something that would really help her kick a** at work! An empowering scent! Something strong!
Being the shy little woman she was, Katina ducked around and avoided the shop owner as she sniffed at the available samples till she found one that suited her – Samurai Chai. It'd almost made her recoil at first – definitely more than she was used to! Steeling herself, she'd taken it to the counter and bought.
Now...this would be her little comfort. Some help to keep the overtime sane and the long nights easier. A silent friend to be stronger than her. Yay!
