Blender, still buzzing with excitement, grabbed Rosia's arm and grinned. "Let's go celebrate! We just got a job; we need good food."

Rosia chuckled. "Celebrate? With what money?"

Blender waved her off. "Don't worry, I'll pay."

Rosia raised an eyebrow. "Oh, so you suddenly have money? But you don't want to pay your landlord?"

Blender snorted, flipping her hair dramatically. "That old fool? He never waits."

Rosia laughed as Blender launched into a series of insults about her former landlord—calling him a greedy rat, a miserable old man who threw out a beautiful girl like her just because of a little unpaid rent.

They walked down the street, their energy high, until they spotted a cozy-looking restaurant just a block away. It wasn't overly fancy, but it had warm lighting, clean tables, and the smell of delicious food floating in the air.

"This looks perfect," Blender said.

Rosia nodded. "As long as you're paying."
