Colette didn't have as much to share as Basil did, having led a more sheltered lifestyle. Her taste in music was all over the place from listening to old records and the radio, and later from music randomizers online. She was surprisingly well-read, she was a voracious reader as a child and her mother would borrow as many books from the local library as she could. Of course when it came to sweets she loved everything, but her favorites tended to be hard candies or ones made with real fruit or nuts. As for pets... dogs barked at the sight of her, and cats didn't much care for her as after a single pet they would go off to clean themselves. She did however have a fondness for birds, pigeons and ducks especially.
When the food arrived Colette stared at it curiously, watching Basil serve himself before she took up some rice, covering it in the vibrantly yellow shrimp curry and placing a bit of chicken to the side. She scooped up a forkful and, after steadying herself, took a bite.
The girl's eyes went wide, the fork protruding from her mouth. And she was silent.
